Good question, Sarah. And a hard one to answer.
I am not an avid supporter of colour analysis theory. It’s just “too boxy” and often does not make sense. Our eyeballs make sense. And with our eyeballs, all variables come into play and THAT is key. Spot on, Inge. Also, you can't see colours in isolation.
It’s obvious when someone does not wear black well. It’s not a particular skin tone and hair colour necessarily. It’s a combination of several different things. I just can’t really generalize about it. There are too many exceptions to the rules.
But people who don’t wear black well look very drained in the hue. Women with brown hair, brown eyes and pale pasty skin don’t wear black well. But when these same brown haired, brown eyed women have rosy skin tone, they look great in black. I sound obtuse. Sorry.
Tow heads don’t wear black well. Certain so called “Autumns” can look bad in black too. But take Jean for example, she looks amazing in black and she’s as “Autumn” as it gets.
According to colour theory, I’m not supposed to wear solid black, but I do and I wear it well. Somehow, my rosy cheeks and tri colored platinum hair make it work. I look better when I offset a black top with pearls though (adds white into the mix). Softens the look.
To answer your question, you look great in black Sarah. It’s those creamy, rosy cheeks :0)
