What Colours Suit Me? How to Find the Shades That Make You Shine

Your colours create harmony — the right shades make your skin look brighter, smoother and more alive.

Ever bought a top you loved in the shop, only to realise it makes you look tired at home? You’re not imagining it — colour harmony matters. The right colours lift your complexion, make your eyes sparkle and give you that natural glow that feels like you.

Why Some Colours Suit You More Than Others

It starts with your undertone — the subtle warm-to-cool tint beneath your skin. When your clothes reflect that undertone, everything balances: your skin looks fresher, smoother and more radiant. If gold jewellery lights you up, you may lean warm; if silver brightens you, you may lean cool. Understanding a few basics of colour theory also helps explain why some shades make your skin glow while others feel flat.

Warm vs Cool: The Starting Point

Side-by-side comparison of warm versus cool colour palettes used in personal colour analysis. — Warm palettes carry golden, peachy notes; cool palettes carry rosy, blue-based notes.

You may be Warm if…

Gold jewellery flatters you most
You tan easily and rarely burn
Your veins appear greenish
Cream and warm beige suit you better than pure white

You may be Cool if…

Silver jewellery brightens you
You burn easily or flush pink
Your veins appear blue or purple
Pure white and cool greys beat ivory

Bright or Muted, Light or Deep

Beyond temperature, your best palette also balances clarity (bright vs muted) and depth (light vs deep). Think of it like tuning a colour dial — once you find the right setting, everything clicks.
