I take the palette with a grain of salt but I’ve found it to be a good guide nonetheless! Other than the colors you listed, I also like black, white (I avoid beiges and off-whites at all cost though), light pink (It’s hard to find a pastel that I feel works for me, but this one does!), dark pinks, and different blues/greens usually work also. Have you looked into personal color analysis? I’m a medium-brown woman and the colors you listed are definitely colors that work for me too (I’ve surmised that I’m a “deep winter”). Same goes with pinks-cool and light pinks are fine, until they're peachy. Muted colors always, always make me look really.weird, unless it's like a silvery grey (which I don't know, is that muted?)Īlso unlike that liz lemon gif, greens (blue-green to forest) look really good on me, as do blue-leaning reds (like you! Maybe we're in disagreement on what burgundy/wine looks like-but it's a very dark blue-red color in my head?), but as soon as it becomes tomato-or rather neutral-red to anything orange, I start looking like a health warning for eating too much spinach. And I think I can get away with very saturated without it washing me out-I know I look pretty good in neon pink and very saturated royal blue (and I have a very vivid pink, green and blue saris that all work for me very well).

For folks who had multiple undertones without one dominant color, they looked really good in muted mauves, greys, and very specific saturated shades that depended on their warmth and other specific factors about their skin (shade included) and they found the Coyne video really useful.īut, because like Liz Lemon I have true witch undertones I wind up needing equally saturated colors to balance me out. It seemed, in that previous discussion that there were a couple different groups of "olive skin"-there were folks who had multiple kinds of undertones (pinks/yellow/blue) kind of coming together and creating this not actually "neutral" (because putting two things together irl doesn't seamlessly blend those colors) but kind of muted skin tone that had a bit of everything, and then there were folks who had a very saturated green undertone (me!). It referenced this video by Audrey Coyne who looks very good in the colors you mentioned, so you two might share an undertone. Oh boy you know what there was definitely a very long post about this a couple years ago that I can't find about how olive itself feels like a catch all for skin tones that are "complicated".
I am like the Fenty medium neutral olive shade though-I definitely have green and pink (so slightly cool) undertones and brown skin. Peach, salmon, warm pinks and oranges also don't really work. Muddied colors that aren't saturated don't work for me. The colors I really struggle with are beige, oatmeal, muted tones (like dusty mauve, dusty rose, dusty lilacs, etc etc.), any of the "nudes" (including one that actually matches me) and sometimes olive (like the olives that lean brown or oatmeal-y). I also feel like I look pretty great in a lot of grey shades. I definitely own a lot of things in emerald and forest green, simply because it's one of my favourite colors, but I consider it one of my neutrals alongside black, white, grey and pink.
Or burgundy/wine red-though I think cobalt/royal blue might be more of a hit or miss for some people. You know I'd specifically argue that I haven't really met anyone who looks bad in emerald green-a very fair skinned redheaded friend of mine made it her wedding color for that very reason (and her bridesmaids of varying shades of skin and undertone all looked pretty great).
