Your Best Colors

Susan

Hi Ladies!
Perhaps this has been done, and if so I apologize, but I wonder what is your very best color (you can only choose one), independent of how it makes you feel or what you like, just what makes you look your best. I feel like I am back in elementary school playing a game with my classmates...lol. I am excited and curious to hear the varied responses. Photos are great!

If I can pick only one, I will say cobalt.

Black! I like how I look in black:)

Another vote for black! Maximum contrast with my fair skin! What's your best color Susan?

leopardluxe

Veteran

Pumpkin orange (errr, actually just all shades of orange in general). Probably why I have so much of it in my closet (that, and it also happens to be my favorite color. There's just as much of it in my decor as there is in my wardrobe). It works really well with my skin tone and my hair color.

Blue for me, most shades seem to work well for me.

Enjoy Susan, there's lots of fun discussions on here! Careful, it's a bit addictive!!

Aquamarine

Veteran

Burgundy! It suits me regardless of the season or color of my skin (pale, tanned, etc.).

Golden

Veteran

Camel, for me the golden tans go well with my hair and eyes!

JayS

A buttery cream. It has to have a very faint yellow cast. It's actually hard to find...

Style Fan

Veteran

Warm toned browns. It goes best with my golden coloured hair, warm coloured skin and green eyes with yellow flecks. I do wish brown would make an appearance in the stores. My brown clothes are starting to show their age.

Teal/turquoise -- shades in between blue and green. They bring out the color of my eyes.

Probably ink/navy. It's such a classic color that I always feel pulled together in it. I think it works especially well on me now that I have more very blonde streaks in my hair -- I love the high contrast of deep ink with white blonde. And although I love black, somehow I think ink and navy work better with my warmer coloring -- brown base to my hair color and deep brown eyes.

I'll choose a clear light silvery grey that seems to make my skin glow and bring out tones in my hair.

Emerald green.

I think something in the purple/fuchsia/magenta category.

Same as Liz A - magenta or pinky purple.

Aziraphale

Army green, I think.

Something in the aqua-to-turquoise family. Makes my skin glow and my blue eyes pop. I get tons of compliments when I wear that color.

Susan

Oh my gosh, so many great responses! (mentally clapping my hands and jumping up and down like a seal:)) I am envious of those who can wear really rich, warm colors like brown (which I LOVE), like Style Fan, and orange, like leopardluxe. SO gorgeous! I would say, for myself, deeper and brighter blues in general. Cobalt seems to be what garners me the most positive response from people in general. Purple too.

Shades of White.

Thistle

Burgundy. Not sure why, but it has always been one of the most flattering colors on me.

Day Vies

Navy - not that weak watered down version with gray or brown undertones. A rich deep dark navy is my very best color.

neonginger

Teal, Aqua or deep Turquoise here.

Blue/teal and burgundy are mine, I think.

Mossy green.

Turquoise.

For an actual color-color (I wear mainly neutrals) I'd have to choose blue.

Soft teal or aqua, brightens my eye color (and makes me happy ;-).
