Thx Sally and great point about the contrast, I think that's key when I wear black or navy - the white adds balance to the dark neutrals, for my personal coloring. But if I was doing a monochromatic neutral, even just on top, I think I will test out some grays and see if they are more skin-flattering. That's a very nice palette you've set out!

I like the first 2 best, with #2 as top.

TG - first I think you look great in all the photos. But I do have a preference for high contrast because your coloring is high contrast. Assuming lighting etc is equal, I see the most "glow" from the navy. It definitely brings out your beautiful rosy cheeks. That being said all the dark neutrals "jewel box" on you in other words, they put all the attention on your clear and vibrant complexion, bookend hair, and make us see your really pretty eyes. The light gray looks nice but does not provide the same level of contrast so it showcases you less. I would think a true clear charcoal, navy/ink, blue/black would pop the pink undertones in your skin best if you are looking for radiance. Faded black, muddy dark neutrals to my eye would not give the same level of enhancement.
