How are the pants with the Cocomo top or PC coat, maybe with a teal or petroleum top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148437 Wed, 14 Oct 2020 12:10:40 +0000 Anonymous 2148437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! The blush color is supposed to be a color that harmonizes the colors of the palm. It's not a color I wear much at all, but its a rare light color that works well on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148434 Wed, 14 Oct 2020 11:36:04 +0000 Minaminu 2148434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful palette, it will give you lots of variety and at the same time everything blends well together! Nice one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148427 Wed, 14 Oct 2020 10:25:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2148427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great planning.</p> <p>Your palette is pretty similar to mine! I don’t wear salmon but I’m thinking about branching out into dusty pink, which I think is similar.</p> <p>I stocked up on some essentials last winter in these colours because a lot of them were available. 5 years ago you couldn’t get them anywhere here (except maybe burgundy). Silver lining (or maybe a bronze one!) for 2020. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148379 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 21:52:43 +0000 LaPed 2148379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your palette sounds so pretty! I've never read Zyla all the way through but I get pretty stymied trying to figure out what my colours would be based on his system. Colouring changes a lot depending on the season and lighting. And the whole "palm of the hand" thing? I just don't know! I feel like I have twenty different shades of pink on my palms, depending on how many dishes I've washed, and none of them is a colour I'd wear. :D&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148343 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 17:01:45 +0000 Anonymous 2148343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep beige is my white for sure! Even off whites like ivory look too contrasty and harsh on me. Beige reads as white but softer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148311 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 12:55:41 +0000 nemosmom 2148311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>You are not wrong about the struggle to find desired colors at retail!&nbsp; Both Spicy Autumn and Bronze Autumn sound amazing!!&nbsp; Champagne beige from the lightest color in your hair could be your 'white', no?<br /></div><div><br />Navy and burgundy have fallen completely out of favor for me. I seem to have swapped them for cognac, chocolate, and softened black.&nbsp; <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148302 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:41:46 +0000 Anonymous 2148302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all :)<br /> That brown, salmon and pink is a nice combo! Brown, salmon and olive is good too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148263 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 22:02:01 +0000 Angie 2148263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suntiger,</b> nice that you've got a clear picture of your future colour palettes. Soothing in many ways. Enjoy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148261 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 21:45:59 +0000 Anonymous 2148261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy colors. Runcarla, a few years ago I was motivated to put a version of those colors together by the outfit in a JJill store display. The Sal on was more of a light pinky peach, the brown was a light tan. These were teamed with off-white pants and a floral scarf on a soft white background with flowers and leaves in pink and salmon and tan. A cool complexion could use a bluer light pink, light grey and optic white. The top was one color, the pants another and a long duster-like topper was the third color with the scarf to tie it altogether.<br /> Today I am wearing a version with taupe pants, a floral top with fallish roses in pinks and white with black, tan, mint and olive leaves on an off-white background and an off white alpaca cardigan. With this I used pink loafers and a pink bag. It looks pulled together by the print top. I wish the pinks were more peachy and salmon and rust. The taupe and creamier white give it a fall look.<br /> Suntiger, I love your colors and choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148239 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 17:31:33 +0000 Carla 2148239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a yummy colour palette with lots of mix and match potential. &nbsp;The Soft Surroundings teal sweater is lovely. </p> <p>I’ve become obsessed by this colour combination, but don’t own anything brown, salmon, or pink!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148238 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 17:24:29 +0000 Cardiff girl 2148238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo,a spicy Autumn sounds like a fun thing to be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148230 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 15:53:47 +0000 slim cat 2148230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember reading about "Color Your Style" book some time ago. Some ideas were easy enough to use but some I abandoned for the difficulties of finding the right color/hue.&nbsp;<br />It sounds like a nice project to concentrate the efforts on finding pretty much perfect colors and shades. And limiting the purchases in our challenging&nbsp;times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148224 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 14:32:53 +0000 Anonymous 2148224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.davidzyla.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidzyla.com/</a><br /> The book was "Color Your Style". The theory is that you use colors based on what's found naturally in your coloring, and for different purposes. I won't necessarily go that far! </p> <p>That said- as with any of these theories, whether it be color or style type, availability can be a problem. Unless we make our own clothes or know a dressmaker, we have to settle for what retail gives us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148222 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 14:07:04 +0000 Jaime 2148222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, what is Zyla's book (sorry if I forgot from earlier thread)? Sounds beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148220 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 14:00:16 +0000 April 2148220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness - I had not heard of Zyla or her book but this sounds fascinating.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-2020-color#post-2148217 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 13:45:05 +0000 Anonymous 2148217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last of my fall winter planning posts- color! I read Zyla's book, and am working on a palette based more or less on those colors as possible.<br /> Essence (harmonizes colors of palm)- muted salmon<br /> Additional skin type colors- cognac and camel<br /> Romantic (pinched fingertip)-cooler burgundy<br /> Dramatic (veins)- teal<br /> Energy (darkest part of iris)- forest green<br /> Tranquil (lightest part of iris)- lighter olive<br /> Additional eye color- cinnamon, cognac (again)<br /> First base (dark ring around pupil)- very dark brownish olive, like the river. Hard to find, especially in formal things so using black<br /> Second base (darkest part of hair)- dark neutral brown<br /> Third base (lightest color in hair)- champagne beige</p> <p>My brighter colors I want to use strategically going forward- for gear for visibility, festive events like weddings, and festival wear.<br /> Not feeling at all, but still own- navy, hot pink, true purple, true red, grey, white (in accents). </p> <p>Ombre top and tunic are greener IRL. Salmon top is a little lighter and more muted.<br /> ETA- I seem to be the Spicy Autumn or maybe Bronze Autumn archetype. </p>
