What Two Colors Are You LEAST Likely To Wear?

Yellow and purple. Yellow makes me look sick since I'm olive skinned. I have never liked purple.2b3bcff69ddf1438d29c49fe7e81035c[1].gif

Does anyone remember a book from the 80s called 'Color Me Beautiful' where you could figure out your best colors and what 'season' and there were certain colors that were most flattering.

I did this but I could never be sure I was the right 'season'.

Yes I had that book
But I also had a session with a person who was trained and had the ability to help ladies find their best colors.
They had a name/title but I can't remember what they were called.
I sat in a room, painted a neutral shade of white, where the lighting (I think it was called Natural or Designer White lighting) did not change colors one iota.
She could tell by looking at me what would probably work for me so she knew where to start or it would take forever to try every shade of every color on me.
She held large pieces of fabric up to me or draped them over my shoulders and we watched my skin and in some cases eyes change.
Many colors were very obvious, making me look very jaundiced or red faced or white as a sheet. So it was definitely legitimate. Some even turned me greenish.
I was not exclusively just a Winter. I was mostly Winter but looked great in a few Spring, Summer and Fall colors/shades as well.
A strong sort of bright darkish peach looked awesome on me which was a shock. Winters do not look good in peach at all. Very strange.
And, really interesting to me and her(?) surprise I did not look good at all in some Winter shades/colors.
Then she made up pocket/hand size color folder with fabric swatches of many of the colors/shades that were right for me, to take shopping. Which I did for at least a dozen years after that. She even included the best tan, navy, grey and brown shades for my suits and slacks.
What I learned from her is many people can wear most colors. It is the shade/hue of that color that makes the difference.

It used to be any colour. Lime green or orange were some of my favourites. Now that my skin has changed with age, I really need to reevaluate. Often it’s more about the style that brings the colour too close to my face.

Absolutely no white pants or skirts. Not the colour, just the fact that I’d spill or sit on something.
