Style/Colour experts. Please help me choose colours for two relatives

this scarf is what I am looking at buying for two relatives, but I am rubbish with colours - I know what I like but not necessarily what will go with skin tone etc.

So, please help me get the colours right!

the first is:

young looking 40 year old chinese woman - very youthful olive skin, black hair, skinny structured face, wears hair shoulder length, normally pulled back. Does not wear make-up, or dress up seriously glam, so elegant and beautiful but not too glam.

the second is:
young feeling and looking 79 year old skinny tall woman. pale skin, has brown hair flecked with grey, wears make up, likes red lipstick, not too in your face. Likes to dress more glam from time to time, likes to in her view 'dress well', relatively modern, likes to be bold from time to time, likes fun. Wears a fur type hat in the winter!

So, colours please?!

Definitely "black ivory" for the First Lady
"steel blue" for the Second.

See I think sea green for the younger chinese lady and celadon green for the older lady.
