Probably means you are sort of in-between the cool and warm spectrums. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shades-of-gold-contrast-or-value#post-1462545 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 19:01:28 +0000 Keturah 1462545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on whether or not it is real gold. The higher the real gold, the brighter and more yellow it is.&nbsp;</p> <p><div>The prevalent theory in personal color analysis is that we should wear clothes that echo all the natural colors contained in our skin, hair, and eyes. But sometimes I think it can backfire.

I'm a soft summer and wear silver better than gold, but I can wear gold as long as it's not super shiny and has a more "neutral" matte look. Hard to explain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shades-of-gold-contrast-or-value#post-1462296 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 09:38:32 +0000 vesperholly 1462296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your reply, Staysfit. I'm just glad that someone else knows what I'm talking about. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shades-of-gold-contrast-or-value#post-1462294 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 09:25:08 +0000 Staysfit 1462294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, gold has various levels of contrast and various shades. i tried to give a better respons around five times, but nothing better came out, sorry. I erased all my attempts. Someone whose brain is working better this morning can give it a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shades-of-gold-contrast-or-value#post-1462287 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:52:09 +0000 vesperholly 1462287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I play and refine my eye, I've noticed that while I can wear and enjoy silver jewelry, gold tones are more flattering.</p> <p>I have also noticed that pale to medium gold feels best on me, rather than some of the gold-ier golds. Some gold tones seem brighter, more yellow or with a brass element in them. What is it that I'm seeing?&nbsp;</p> <p>Do those "yellow-er" or louder golds (still beautiful, just not for me!) have more contrast? Are they brighter? Is it something about the undertone? It's as if the pale to medium golds melt into my skin or brighten it and the other ones seem to stand out again. (In Inside Out Style terms, I am medium to high contrast. I have green veins, and am naturally a pale olive skin, I think. I take matters into my own hands and self tan ) Perhaps I am just slightly warm, and golder-golds are too warm?</p> <p>Can metal even have a contrast level? Is it level of warmth? Confused but intrigued.</p> </p>
