Flattering colors

What colors look good on me?

The colors that look good on you repeat your natural coloring: warm colors if your undertone is warm, cool if it is cool, light or deep to match your depth, and bright or soft to match your contrast. A quick way to find them is the free 12-question color analysis test; a faster mirror check is to compare a warm and a cool version of the same color under your chin in daylight.

Colors that look good on most people

Some colors sit in the middle of temperature, depth and chroma, so they look good on many people: medium teal, soft white, true navy, raspberry and jade. They are safe colors for gifts or uniforms. Your best colors, though, are the ones that repeat your own coloring, and only your season can tell you those colors.

What color looks good on everyone?
