Anyway - it is decidedly even brighter and more intense a yellow than the find pic below suggests. I am not a winter - but am sort of in-between cool and warm skin  tones.  I don't know - anyways , I didn't think I could wear it either, but am quite liking it today.   AviaMariah on "Yellow" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-1#post-1467154 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 17:48:05 +0000 AviaMariah 1467154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm in the same boat.  Get a yellow accessory!  I keep thinking about a yellow handbag and the yellow converse sneakers.

While I'm sure that just finding the right shade would probably work fine, maybe a flattering print that includes yellow would be easier to find? And there's always the option of wearing it so that it's not up against your face, which is the most challenging place for colors. Maybe pants?  A bag or shoes? Marina on "Yellow" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-1#post-1467139 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 17:35:27 +0000 Marina 1467139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think seasonal palettes are nice generic guideline, but everybody has some distintive traits, so two deep winters will have lots in common, but won't be the exactly same. My dominant traits are cool-pinkish pale skin and dark ash brown hair and this makes me a winter, but I have light freckles and golden/green hazel eyes that can go from muted moss one day to sparkling citrines another, so I'm in-between  deep/clear winter. My worst color is beige, but most yellows and colors with a yellowish/orangish undertone aren't flattering at all. On the other hand, finding a flattering yellow is difficult, but when you do it it really worths the trouble. I have a poncho in a color that is a pale yellow like the "brick pattern" in this page <a rel="nofollow" href="http://background-kid.com/pale-yellow-floral-background.html">http://background-kid.com/pale.....round.html</a> and It looks better than good on me. I think this specific color won't work so well for deep winters with medium or dark skin tones, but if this is your case you can google "kim kardashian yellow dress" to see some yellows that are flattering for her and may work for other deep winters as well (and also ones that clearly don't work).

It could be hard to exactly the right yellow in exactly the right coat..but such a thing would be beautiful! Janet on "Yellow" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-1#post-1466826 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 03:34:16 +0000 Janet 1466826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I look pretty awful in every yellow I've ever tried, so I understand. It doesn't bother me -- plenty of other colors I like better anyway! I can do some in a print if it's not overwhelming and isn't close to my skin. catgirl on "Yellow" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-1#post-1466822 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 03:29:37 +0000 catgirl 1466822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is there a forum member close to your coloring?  That may be one way to get help.  A saturated dandelion and a sour bright citron look amazing on me; meanwhile any dull, pastel or mustard shade makes me look and feel sickly.  Your yellow is out there, really. rabbit on "Yellow" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-1#post-1466781 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 01:56:31 +0000 rabbit 1466781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a deep winter and I've tried sour citrons, and warm yellows, and icy yellows and no luck.  I can occasionally wear some oranges though, so maybe there is one somewhere....  but yeah, I hold up a yellow shirt to my face in a mirror, and more than once a passing shopper has said 'not your color'.  Kristin L on "Yellow" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-1#post-1466744 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 00:38:48 +0000 Kristin L 1466744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm sure there's a shade of yellow that will work for you. I'm a fellow winter (I think), and I've learned that I really can't wear yellow next to my skin unless it's just the "right" shade. That being said, how do you feel about a top with yellow in it, but not entirely yellow? Aida on "Yellow" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-1#post-1466696 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 23:57:47 +0000 Aida 1466696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm sure there's a yellow out there for you, but they can be tricky and I know many people don't like to deal with the color. Are you distinctively cool or do you have warm leanings at all? If you have even a little bit of warm leanings (headed into Deep Autumn) then you can wear a very clear goldenrod yellow (#1 below). If you're truly cool then there are several icy shades of yellow that could potentially work for you. Hopefully someone who's a true cool can chime in about those shades.
