Women's colourimetry
Which colours suit me best?
28 MAY 2021
Depending on the colour of your complexion, your eyes or your hair, the colours that suit you can differ. To help you adapt the colours you wear to what suits you best, we've put together a short guide to choosing the right colours and understanding colourimetry in fashion. To keep things simple, we've divided the different types of women into several categories, even though every woman is different. This can help guide you in your choice of clothes, jewellery and make-up. Discover all our advice and choose colours that suit you when you go shopping.
Warm colours for women with golden complexions
Your colour palette is warm if your complexion is golden, light golden, ivory, peach, light beige or yellow beige, and your hair is blonde, light chestnut or light red. If your eyes are blue, amber, grey, green or hazel, soft shades will delight you. Go for apple green, pink, poppy, peach, golden brown, caramel, navy blue, lavender, turquoise, off-white or ivory.
For jewellery, opt for yellow gold and warm, light-coloured stones. However, avoid white, black and cold colours.
Cool, light colours for women with pink complexions
If your complexion is pink, pinkish ivory, pinkish beige or porcelain, you'll look best in cool, light colours. Your white, platinum, ash, grey brown, grey or white hair will be enhanced with off-white, pearl pink, very light yellow, sky blue, water green or bluish red. Powder pink, pearl grey, plum, garnet, parma or raspberry go perfectly with blue, grey-green, golden, olive green or black eyes.
For jewellery, opt for silver, white gold or cool-toned stones. Women with rosy complexions should avoid bold cool tones or warm colours.
Go for warm colours!
If your complexion is pink, golden, ivory, beige, dark or bronze, don't skimp on bold, iridescent colours, always in warm shades! Caramel, rust, beige, olive green, golden yellow, honey, brick or even copper are colours that will suit your complexion perfectly. Particularly for golden blonde, Venetian blonde, chocolate or even red hair, yellow gold and warm, dark materials are recommended for women matching these colours.
Who are very cool colours for?
Do you like pure white, fir green, aqua green, ruby, fuchsia or navy blue? If you have a rosy, olive or peach complexion, dark hair and brown, black or dark green eyes, this is perfect for you! Cool colours go perfectly with your skin tone, as do white gold, silver, or materials and stones in cool, bold colours. Avoid colours that are too light, pastels and warm colours.
You now have all the information you need to choose the colours that best suit your skin tone. Of course, if you like cool colours but your skin tone prefers warm tones, don't deprive yourself. You also need to enjoy getting dressed every morning. For more advice on your wardrobe, talk to a fashion consultant, who will be able to guide you in buying clothes based on what suits you best. Colour can be a guide when choosing your outfits, so it can be useful to know what would look best on you.
