Determining which colors suit you best depends on your undertone. Your undertone is the subtle hue beneath your skin's surface—either warm, cool, or neutral. This undertone dictates which colors will complement your complexion, making you look radiant and healthy.
Understanding Your Undertone
To find your undertone, consider these factors:
- Vein color: Look at the veins on your inner wrist. Blue or purple veins often indicate a cool undertone, while green veins suggest a warm undertone. A mix of blue and green indicates a neutral undertone.
- Sun exposure: How does your skin react to the sun? If you tan easily, you likely have a warm undertone. If you burn easily and rarely tan, you likely have a cool undertone. If you tan gradually, you might have a neutral undertone.
- Jewelry: Which metal looks better against your skin? Gold often flatters warm undertones, while silver complements cool undertones.
Colors Based on Undertone
Once you've identified your undertone, you can choose colors that will enhance your natural beauty. Referencing the provided resource (Family Britches):

- Cool Undertone: Royal blue, bright blue, lavender, rose, gray, emerald, amethyst, deep purple, ruby, bright rose.

Beyond Undertone: Personal Style and Preference
While your undertone is a great starting point, remember that personal style and preference also play a significant role. Experiment with different colors and shades to see what makes you feel confident and comfortable. Apps like Colorwise can provide personalized color palettes.
Remember, the best colors for you are the ones that make you feel your best!
