bottle green seems to go with everything (maybe bar some reds).

Yay! I was kinda worried because I have always looked sick and pale and weird when I wore green - I remember as a child, I wore my brother's green shirt and thought I was so ugly. I did not know about skin undertone then!

I don't wear red so I'm safe!

Lime green makes me look like a zombie! I am fine with foresty greens, deeper greens; or olive and sage type ones. Light and mid greens, no. I find bottle green goes particularly well with creams, golds, pale pinks, black, even copper and the like. You can always neutralise any odd colour match with a scarf anyway I find.

Definitely not our colour, yeah?

No drowning. Even standing next to brown makes me look like I've bathed in nicotine.

Gray works for us right?

Hello fellow cool people Wink
You’re a winter I’m presuming? Grey can be tricky because there are so many undertones, some greys run quite blue, others green or brown or even lilac so you have to be more careful. Personally I would only buy charcoal grey “unseen” - I can’t wear any grey that drifts towards taupe and definitely definitely no marl. I presume it’s because it lacks the strong contrast that works best on my colouring.
That green one though...swoon

Yes, very Winter. I only suit black, white, blue-based pinks and I think blue, like jewel blue. I suck at descriptions lol but some blue does not look good on me, like the purplish blue ones.

Glad to know I have made a good choice! Now (im)patiently waiting for it to arrive.
