Can you help me to find a good site or resource for finding what colors would be most flattering on me?

Asked by DigitalBlue (7102points) December 28th, 2012

I’m really not good with color. Most of my wardrobe is black, grey, and brown. My makeup is all very natural and neutral. I’d like to throw some color in, but I’m really not sure what colors look good on me.

I’ve found a few websites that offer quizzes or comparisons to celebrity photos, but I can’t even pinpoint where I fall on those. I think I need something with a lot of options, something beyond “pale skin, blue eyes, blonde hair” vs “dark skin, brown eyes, dark hair.” I don’t think I have any of the most common color combinations of hair/eyes/complexion. I’m not even sure if I’m warm or cool – which would help a great deal in choosing colors.

If you want to take a stab at suggestions:

My skin is fair, but my cheeks are always pink (which supposedly means I’m cool complected), but I have lots of freckles (which supposedly means that I’m warm complected.)

My eyes are… I don’t know what color. They are yellow around the pupil with a thin brown line around that, very pale blue in the majority of the iris, and dark green (almost teal) around the iris. Grey? Green? Hazel?I have no idea.

My hair was very light blonde as a baby, blonde to dishwater blonde as a child and a teen, then I dyed my hair for the next 17 years, and now that it is natural again it is a medium brown with a hint of red when the light hits it.

Maybe I should just stick to wearing black.
