Like you rachylou, I'm having a hard time getting this shade just from digital images.</p> <p>Otherwise, team purple-in-doses. I'm using purple as an accent color, to charcoal black white (and maybe blue denim). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/3#post-1111052 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:07:44 +0000 rachylou 1111052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if my problems with seeing blues interferes with my seeing this colour properly - or would do. I *think* I don't like really blue purples on me, but then I have had some favorite purple things that I think look very good on me. </p> <p>Sometimes it has most to do with dyes and how clear a colour comes through. I don't know what makes the same colour clear or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/3#post-1110989 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:55:58 +0000 Lisa 1110989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting shade, I would have to try it on to see if it will work.&nbsp; I like the idea to mix it with white or blue though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/3#post-1110985 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:53:11 +0000 Anonymous 1110985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on Team Purple, but this is not my most flattering shade, so I may have to skip it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1110925 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 16:54:52 +0000 Mo 1110925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this a day or two before this post. &nbsp;Serendipitous! &nbsp;The tank is long, it's supposed to be, but feels odd to me. &nbsp;I'm sure I'll get used to it. &nbsp;No smaller sizes left anyway. &nbsp;LOVE the leggings, though. &nbsp;Perfect for not so tall me. &nbsp;Will have to take the tank out for a run shortly, but it's too warm for the pants today. &nbsp;Maybe next time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1106819 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 04:23:32 +0000 Marley 1106819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I think it is sooooo pretty!&nbsp; I could see mixing it with my grays - and wouldn't it look nice with creams, as well as navy?&nbsp; Not sure how I would look in it - but I really like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1106804 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 04:01:37 +0000 Anonymous 1106804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could do the darker version in the Zoe Report link, but the pastel versions in the runway pic would probably just be unfortunate on me. Although, by the end of February or so, I get pretty desperate for springlike colors, so I may end up trying it just on the off chance that I can combine it with better shades for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1106787 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 03:43:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1106787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color, but my skin tone is far too yellow to carry it well, I'm afraid.&nbsp; I typically wear the darkest purples well.&nbsp; I will give it a try, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1106695 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 02:09:41 +0000 catgirl 1106695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a little too close to one of my worst colors, lavender...

It's one of my favourite colours, and one that I wear well, so I'm a little biased:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1106041 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:28:10 +0000 ManidipaM 1106041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Violet is such an unfortunate shade for me. Oh well, tangerine and mint weren't mine either.

I'll admire it on others as I really don't think it wil be at all becoming to my complexion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1105916 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 04:42:50 +0000 Debra 1105916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this and will be adding to my blacks and greys </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1105894 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 04:10:05 +0000 Lyn D. 1105894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A pretty colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1105884 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 03:50:45 +0000 Ariadne 1105884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the name "Radiant Orchid," but I&nbsp;have a huge hangup about colours that remind me of Easter eggs.

I'd wear any and all of those items.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1105882 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 03:47:23 +0000 Anonymous 1105882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nay, it is like death to me! I think it brings out the sallow color in my skin, so I will pass. The closest I can get to purple is a very blue-purple like periwinkle.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-colour-of-the-year/page/2#post-1105880 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 03:43:56 +0000 Alassë 1105880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not for me - much too cool/pastel - but I love seeing it on summer seasons.
