I love these colors too, although I feel like I can wear both warm and cool tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1990098 Wed, 09 Jan 2019 12:39:49 +0000 lyn67 1990098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taupe, a color name in German but is kind of&nbsp; a greyish sand and maybe you can google image to feel it better-and I definetely love it, suits me much more than "soul sucking" beige!:-)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EXEPCAZXDI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EXEPCAZXDI</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1990073 Wed, 09 Jan 2019 09:49:13 +0000 jussie 1990073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the idea of silver for this, or a very light soft blue. Although they’re not quite as neutral as beige I think they’d be ok.<br /> Another left field idea may be a very gentle sage green. I find it surprisingly flattering, although it’s really a warm colour so not quite what you asked for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989980 Wed, 09 Jan 2019 01:30:49 +0000 Kate 1989980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A white that has a grayish, rather than yellow, tone would be a beautiful neutral on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989974 Wed, 09 Jan 2019 01:26:42 +0000 Kate 1989974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven’t read the other replies, so I apologize if I’m repeating, but I would say mushroom, a cool-toned taupe, stone (a color described thus often turns out to be cool-toned) and greige. I have warm colorling, and love the cool toned browns, even though my complextion also allows me to wear some of the warmer browns as well, like toffee. A cool taupe is my very favorite, though it can be difficult to find. Buying taupes online is a crap shoot, so you’re often better served by shopping brick &amp; mortar stores for these colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989969 Wed, 09 Jan 2019 00:43:56 +0000 Gretchen 1989969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you do ivory or cream? I can never make Khaki/Camel work - just washes me out. But a softer white works well and is almost always available to complete an outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989954 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 23:31:18 +0000 Angie 1989954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pewter too:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989951 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 23:25:16 +0000 Helena 1989951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, it might come to that ...

I might too. I would love a beige trench. Classic. Goes with navy, ha!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989944 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:51:02 +0000 Vildy 1989944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>pale stone gray is amazing with raspberry. <br /></div><div>Also, there are eggshell "whites" that have a pink tinge.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989939 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:38:19 +0000 April 1989939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG -- Marilyn is right.&nbsp; That's the beige-ish shade (a sort of cool toffee, aka taupe, as our Angie has noted) that always works for us cool-toned folks.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989937 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:22:44 +0000 Lesley 1989937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't forget griege! ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989924 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:02:14 +0000 Marilyn 1989924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Another cool toned girl here. :)&nbsp;&nbsp; I struggle with the same thing.....love the camels/beiges but they look horrible on me.&nbsp; Gray works for me but I'm off that colour at the moment.</div><div><br /></div><div>I do soft white/winter white.....just have to make sure there's no yellow in it.&nbsp; I'm also always on the lookout for cool taupe and soft cocoa brown....harder to find but things pop up now and again.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have this Teddy Coat in taupe and it's a perfect neutral for pairing with denim outfits and other neutrals.&nbsp; Looks great with red too.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989910 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:23:16 +0000 Helena 1989910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, great question - I'm thinking jacket, cardi, scarf, maybe shoes ... toppers or outfit finishers, e.g. to go over a column of black or navy, or soften black &amp; white/navy &amp; white outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989908 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:21:45 +0000 Helena 1989908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene, true that ... great idea to check those stores. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989906 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:21:06 +0000 Helena 1989906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MsMaven, yes, it's a hard one to find, and a true cool taupe even harder. I too feel a bit blah in great but it's somewhat of a necessary evil in some respects! Although I haven't been replacing gray, I do have a few light gray pieces, as well as a charcoal gray coat. Mid-gray I am learning to stay far, far away from - although I love it on others, it really doesn't do anything for me at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989905 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:21:05 +0000 Gaylene 1989905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As anyone who has ever tried to paint the walls of a room “white” can attest, there are literally hundreds of hues, tints, and shades of the so-called neutrals. It might take some time, but, if you are persistent, you can probably find YOUR tan/camel/beige. Until then, use Suz’s trick, or Em’s bright lip, or buy a scarf in your best colors to wear with those warm neutrals to tide you over. </p> <p>And maybe check out Aritzia or Club Monaco since both shops seem to focus on tan/beige/camel neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989904 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:18:53 +0000 Helena 1989904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nemosmom, I actually have that blouse I love the color! Great idea to use it as a template, as well as a piece of the complement&nbsp; (I'm ahead of the game already!) :)<br />Sal, thanks ... I think mixing in the warm neutrals in non-face-framing pieces is a great way to incorporate them, especially for spring and summer. Love the blue you describe also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989903 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:18:24 +0000 MsMaven 1989903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Em's suggestion. Since I let my hair go to it's natural mixed gray I find I do need brighter lip color. Still experimenting, but a bright color over neutral lip pencil makes it easier to find the right shade.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't like to wear most grays, but I get compliments with the very light gray. I'm still experimenting with color--maybe one of these days I'll have it all figured out.</p> <p>I don't see much taupe around lately, but maybe because I'm not looking for it? </p> <p>I used to like to wear beige and camel, but now I don't, although I'll wear beige bottoms once in a while.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989900 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:14:38 +0000 Sal 1989900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think blush can have a different vibe to camel/beige......I like it but I see them as quite different.</p> <p>For shoes, boots, bags and belt I think you could go with camel easily....<br />For items such as a trench or scarf or sweater, I think blush, light grey could work.</p> <p>I found a soft duck egg/blue/dirty grey a really useful colour for a blazer last year - and ended up adding a more casual jacket in the same colour for summer.&nbsp; It has been too hot for jackets the last month but I wore it alot in October/November and expect to again in March and April. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989896 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:05:43 +0000 nemosmom 1989896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was a silvery grey or really pale pink - all look nice with navy, black, white, and grey. The Banana poet shirt is pale pink and cool undertone (looks much warmer in the Find). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989895 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:03:41 +0000 Anonymous 1989895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What sort of pieces are you looking for it for-tops, bottoms, accessories?<br /> Are you thinking of it as like a nude to you or accent?<br /> Depending on those it could be blush pink, rose gold, taupe, pearl grey, or even silver! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989893 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 18:59:35 +0000 Helena 1989893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that's a good point Em - I usually am wearing a neutral lip ... I bet every time I shop I am as I usuall brighten up just for special occasions and evenings. I'll try this next time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989892 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 18:57:57 +0000 em 1989892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For people with our coloring, it will be invaluable to try on these colors while wearing our favorite bright/bold lipstick. It will totally revolutionize how the color looks on us.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989886 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 18:26:47 +0000 Helena 1989886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that's a great suggestion Suz; thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989885 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 18:25:06 +0000 Suz 1989885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try cool toned blush (not always easy to find), or a very pale pink.&nbsp;</p> <p>If taupe doesn't work, maybe just forget the idea as clothing, and go for frankly warmer tones (cognac, tan) but as accessories only, to punch up the navy and grey. That's pretty much how I play it, although I do still wear a bit of taupe, which works on me. (Used to work better when I was blonde but is still pretty good now with judicious styling.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-cool-toned-equivalent-to-beigetan#post-1989883 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 18:22:41 +0000 Helena 1989883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie </p>
