Re: What color do you prefer most against your face (blouse, shirt, jewelry, etc)

White brightens up my whole being.  Love it.   I actually look good in black too.  However, I do wear colors.

Using the seasonal labels I am considered to be an autumn, but my skin color seems to be quite adaptable to other seasons.  The spring pastels and winter jewels look great on me.  With the exception of white, the summer colors may be my worse tones.  In answer to the question as to what color I prefer, it would be hunter green, but time and again it's Christmas red which gets the most complimentary reaction.

Teal, green or blue. I have teal eyes and get the most compliments when I wear that color.

Blue, the lighter shades.  Torquoise especially.  Lavenders, aquas, some light pinks.  Minty green.

 

These colors also make me feel good and put a little spring in my step.

Medium skin tones with salt and pepper pixie hair. Periwinkle is my favorite color to wear, but also black or navy up by my face. Hot pink or turquoise also. I love pastels but they wash me out.

The colors that suit my coloring are difficult (sometimes) to find: faded lavender/cocoa.

@Nonametoday  First,thank you for posting that poem...my mother used to say October's bright blue weather now I know why.

I think I look best in white,not cream or eggshell but true white.  Also navy blue.

@MoJoV   My colors are white (true white, not off white) and bright blue and navy for very dress-up wear.  Bless you for remembering that from your mom.  That's a sweet memory.

Next to my face, I feel like I look best w/ white or some shades of ivory. I have a fairly neutral skin tone and can wear just about any color, as long as I have the white next to my face. I get the most compliments when I wear aqua, periwinkle or pink. It could be people just notice when I wear a color different than black, white or gray. Smiley Happy
