What Colours would suit me

I'm fairly safe with everything I wear I tend to go for dark colours but I have a couple of things that are different to my usual style and I always get complimented on them.

Apparently I suit, deep purples, red, coral and navy. If I suit those colours what else is likely to look good with my skin tone?

Elloello - guessing a 'true summer', otherwise known as 'cool summer'. Have a look at Pinterest boards - search cool summer color analysis (or colour!)

@Elloello, yes I've a similar issue. I look best if the colours have depth. I'm also alarmingly pale and have apparently cornflower blue eyes. But my hair is a mix of colour naturally. Everything from mousey brown to golden blond and honey blonde.

My HoC consultant covered hair up before draping. She said hair colour has little bearing, it’s all to do with the tone of your skin which is independent of hair colour to a great extent 🤷🏼‍♀️

Elloello hyacinth is a summer colour (also a spring one). The thing is, you can be a summer but not suit all the pastels (cotton ball summer) even though they're in your season. Sweet Pea summer is next, that's often thought of as a 'true' summer in the mid colours. Then there's anemone which is more depth, so for example my wow (can carry off head to foot) colours include plum, jade, cherry red and Delph blue. Then there's brown summers who are closer to autumn colours. If you're not sure between summer and winter you need to consider if clear, bright shades suit you more than soft, muted shades....think Picasso (winter) versus Monet (summer).

Just to say, that depends on which colour system you use! Lots have 3 per season but that one has 4. The theory is all the same though! Cool/warm/neutral, soft(or muted)/clear (or bright)/in the middle, light/dark/medium. In different orders depending on what you dominant characteristic is.
