Determining the best colors to wear depends largely on your skin's undertone. Here's a breakdown of how to choose colors based on whether you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones, according to Family Britches:
Understanding Your Undertone
Your skin's undertone falls into one of three categories:
- Warm: Characterized by golden, peachy, or yellow hues.
- Cool: Characterized by pink, red, or blue hues.
- Neutral: A combination of both warm and cool tones.
Color Recommendations Based on Undertone
Here’s a handy table summarizing suitable colors based on your undertone:
| Tone | Colors to go for |
|---|---|
| Warm-toned | Honey, Olive, Coral, Cream, Gold, Peacock blue, Oranges, Magenta, Reds, and Amber. |
| Cool-toned | Royal Blue, Bright Blue, Lavender, Rose, Gray, Emerald, Amethyst, Deep purple, Ruby, Bright rose. |

Practical Insights:

- Neutral Undertones: If you have a neutral undertone, you can often wear a wider range of colors, but medium blues, peach, and dusty pinks are particularly flattering.
