Every winter I collect my red sweaters/tops, etc. This seems to be the year for finding my red...only pop of color I wear. Well, here's the rub. I'm seeing bright true reds, but now that Ihave silver hair and no coloring on my face (lol), bright reds are too stark.

 

Anyone have this issue and do you find pinkish or a darker red anywhere?

So are you more for the blue reds or yellow reds----I am wanting a red something too, but lean more to the cooler red. How does burgandy sound to you?

I have a pale complexion and white hair and I still wear a bright red.  I add a little more darker foundation so my face is not so pale & wear a true red lipstick.  And flaunt my reds!

Wanted to share this b/c it seems to be this season's colors

the colors I have been wearing are cherry reds (for zoom camera work) and rose reds. There is an Amazon brand called "Aprill" that makes a ribbed turtle neck perfect weight perfect fit in that color. Another brand (same color) is Wosalba... same finely ribbed rayon as the other.

Red ( a blue red) always has been my favorite color. I still wear it and always get compliments. However, I am 76 and over the last ten years, I have switched to burgundy or wine when I buy new " red" tops. My hair still is fairly dark brown with silver " highlights," but I do not wear much make-up these days ( except lip color) and burgundy works well for me.

@wagirl   It must be a cool red, but the burgundies and wines seem dark against my fair skin. May have to go with a red w/ a dar pinkish tone. Anyone see this in sweaters?

I don't wear red red.  But I do wear the colors in that beautiful chart/picture above.

As a winter, I wear blue based reds.  I would love a pink red but have seen none.

 

I won't look at yellow based colors; they don't even appeal to me, but look fine on others.

I love reds including wine/burgundy hues. This is one of my favorite leather dresses.
