I've been working on streamlining colors for better coordination and cohesiveness. Dark tones are not so difficult to find and mix a bit. But, I would like to have some lighter pieces for interest and for season-spanning.

I don't wear most shades of white well, nor ivory, and silvery grays aren't quite right, and grays are hard to mix sometimes, or are just...too much gray. Sometimes I find a light taupe that works. So things tend to be quite dark overall, except for some prints that mix colors.

However, after having my AT micro-chip imbedded so that I can be in complete communication with the mothership at all times, I came across items in a "new" color ("moon beam"--how apt). As you see it is a kind of grayed-pinky- beige or something, or the cool-palette version of blush. ( I totally cannot wear what is usually called blush). To me it is more neutral and, for me, more work-wearable than a traditional pale pink or frosty pink.

Darker colors are going to be more conventionally flattering for the near future, but this is a very wearable pale that really freshens things up. It goes with grays, black, browns and berry colors and has that chameleon-like property to blend in with stripes or tweeds without having to "match".

For other cool-palette fabbers, would a color like this expand your outfit options?
