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

I love white, pure, clear white.  Next is a clear blue, October blue skies.  I love October blue skies.

 

O SUNS and skies and clouds of June,
        And flowers of June together,
    Ye cannot rival for one hour
        October's bright blue weather;

    When loud the bumble-bee makes haste,
        Belated, thriftless vagrant,
    And Golden-Rod is dying fast,
        And lanes with grapes are fragrant;

    When Gentians roll their fringes tight
        To save them for the morning,
    And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
        Without a sound of warning;

    When on the ground red apples lie
        In piles like jewels shining,
    And redder still on old stone walls
        Are leaves of woodbine twining;

    When all the lovely wayside things
        Their white-winged seeds are sowing,
    And in the fields, still green and fair,
        Late aftermaths are growing;

    When springs run low, and on the brooks,
        In idle golden freighting,
    Bright leaves sink noiseless in the hush
        Of woods, for winter waiting;

    When comrades seek sweet country haunts,
        By twos and twos together,
    And count like misers, hour by hour,
        October's bright blue weather.

    O suns and skies and flowers of June,
        Count all your boasts together,
    Love loveth best of all the year
        October's bright blue weather.

Light pink is so flattering for many. I love the colors of sunset also

Remember 'color me beautiful' phase? I'm a winter -- jewel tones and black and white. I get the most compliments when I wear shades of teal and dark purple.

For fashion I look best in pinks, peach, and coral so those are my preference. Browns, yellows and grey do not complement my complexion at all sadly.😐. For jewelry, my preference is yellow gold over sterling silver or white gold.

I like Optic white or ivory is best.  Black is second best.  Silver jewelry.

 

I'm wearing a color called rose clay at the moment ... it's sort of a rosy taupe.  Looks okay.  I bought the shirt specifically to go with an outerwear sweater that I made.  It's a Noro yarn in taupes, pinks, browns, grays, etc.  (typical Noro coloring) .... and this is one of the colors.

 

When I was a blonde ... I had more issues with colors.  Now that I've gone "au naturale" ... light brown ... I don't have as many issues.  All I changed was my hair ... same makeup.

I love the color red and especially red and white together.

 

However, I always get compliments when I wear mauve colors....

 

Whenever I wear that color people always ask if that's my favorite color, probably 8 times out of 10 they'll say that.

 

I then say, "No!  Red is my favorite color".

Black.  I'm a winter and look good in jewel tones, white, shades of gray, and black, but of all of them, black is the most flattering. 

 

Silver jewelry.

Red is a good color for me.

White, and for whatever reason, light yellow.

 

Also love pastels.

 

And as I often say, I need more green.

Love certain greens which I can't describe.

Not too light, not too-too dark.  But shall I say jewel tones or grass green?

 

I wish I had a green tones color chart right now.  Then, I could 'point them out'.  

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
