How to Match Colors to Your Skin Tone:

First, you should determine your skin tone. Most skin tones are separated into “seasons”:

Winter skin tones are generally African American or Asian people with dark hair and dark eyes. Summer skin tones are usually people with light, pale skin and blond hair and light eyes. Autumn skin tones are generally people with gold colored skin and red or brunette hair, freckles, and brown eyes. Spring skin tones are mostly people with “straw-colored hair” or strawberry blond hair. Springs usually have blue or green eyes.

Second, choose clothing colors that look good with whatever skin tone you have.

Winters wear white, black, navy blue, red, bright pink, or colors that are light and don't ruin the look of their complexion well. They should avoid colors like beige, orange, or gold. Summers should stick to pastel-like colors and softer neutrals with rose and blue undertones in it. plum, lavender, brown, and light blue are good. They should stay away form black and orange. Autumns look best in colors that have gold in it. Caramel, beige, orange, gold, and dark brown are good choices. They should not go for colors with blue. Springs can wear some of the warmer colors, like caramel, peach, gold, and brown. They should stay away from dark, dull colors.
