December Daily: colors to wear

lunabee - Top five colors to wear

I am very pale and pinkish, and I really really really can't be wearing warm colors next to my face unless I want to look slightly dead. (Due to the Italian heritage, the spouse and the kidlet look great in brown and melon and peach, and I'm so jealous.)

5. Black. Can't go wrong. Doesn't look as good on me as it did when my hair was dark, though.

4. The cool half of the red spectrum. My new company's color is scarlet, which is just orange enough that I had to give the T-shirt away.

3. Purple. I love every shade of it, from the wine side to the almost-navy-blue side.

2. The cool half of the green spectrum. I particularly like those shades between green and blue.

1. Current favorite: gray. Seems less dressy than black, more unassuming. Oddly, most mass-produced gray clothes seem to look pretty good together (unlike most shades of gray house paint, which is famous for going pink or green or brown when the light changes) so if I happen to get up in the morning and put on a gray shirt and later discover that the sweater I grabbed in the dark closet is also gray, it's usually fine.
