It definitely looks a bit brownish at the link. Interesting! It also looks like a really great casual dress and super cozy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-recent-greyed-color#post-2293185 Tue, 29 Nov 2022 03:15:50 +0000 Jaime 2293185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is hard for me to see the color but it does look warmer rather than cooler. Regardless, great look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-recent-greyed-color#post-2293171 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 23:15:36 +0000 Andrea H 2293171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you all are probably right--maybe it's muted more with brown/grey or black than real grey!&nbsp; Thanks for all the love for the dress. It's as comfortable as a nightgown but the one-sided ruching gives it just enough shape and detailing that it doesn't look like a nightgown (or so I tell myself.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Inge--that bag has got to be 13 to 15 years old!&nbsp; It's B. Makowsky (?) which is an extinct brand I think. I wanted to take a small-ish crossbody bag, and the one I'd normally use (tan with black) clashed with the beanie and the warm grey boots I was wearing. So I was glad not to have donated it the last time i purged.</p> <p>Suz--I fixed the link, though I notice that since earlier in the day the Venetian Red color is no longer showing on the website. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-recent-greyed-color#post-2293164 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 22:07:42 +0000 rachylou 2293164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that’s an interesting point about contrast amd muted colours.</p> <p>Also, there are different ways to mute colours - you can also mute a colour, for instance, by mixing in its complement. And in practice, with actual dyes, it’s even more complex. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-recent-greyed-color#post-2293144 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 20:11:10 +0000 Suz 2293144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason I can't get the link to work. I'd love to get a better look at the dress. From what I can tell, it looks lovely on you!&nbsp; Super cute with the hat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-recent-greyed-color#post-2293140 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 19:26:49 +0000 Inge 2293140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I was thinking the same thing as Helena and Sharan, but regardless: it is a gorgeous dress, and it looks amazing on you! How fun that you had a bag that matches also!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-recent-greyed-color#post-2293115 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 17:55:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2293115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great dress on you. So cute with the hat! I agree with Helena that this color looks a bit warmish, which I think is what you may be getting at, too, Andrea, with your comment about rhubarb. Like a rhubarb red with black added, maybe. (It's so hard to tell in photos, too.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-recent-greyed-color#post-2293100 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 17:09:02 +0000 Helena 2293100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is lovely! It looks muted to me, although perhaps more with a bit of brown than grey? Not sure if that's a thing In any case it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-recent-greyed-color#post-2293099 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 16:50:31 +0000 Andrea H 2293099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I (sorta kinda) impulse-bought this Free People dress <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.freepeople.com/shop/fp-one-natasha-thermal-dress/?category=dresses&amp;color=020&amp;type=REGULAR&amp;quantity=1">https://www.freepeople.com/sho.....quantity=1</a> &nbsp;recently in the Venetian Red shade, which I think? is a greyed color. To my eye, it's more rhubarb than any type of red, but I don't write catalog copy, so what do I know?&nbsp; </p> <p>Anyway, I wore it to high tea with a couple of friends as part of my recent birthday celebrations, and was told that the color was very flattering to me. Surprising maybe, because I'm fairly warm-toned, but I think the reason that these kind of "off" colors sometimes look good on me is that I am quite low-contrast. To the point that I always wear at least some makeup or my facial features disappear into nothingness. Bright colors overwhelm me totally. I could be completely off on this...I just wanted an excuse to post a pic of my cute dress since I had one on my camera roll, lol.&nbsp; </p>
