Colours - 4 Universally Flattering Clothing Colors

This is just one of the articles I flash back to over and over…but I strongly think they forgot one colour so I am adding #5... http://www.realsimple.com/beauty-fashion/clothing/wardrobe-basics/4-universally-flattering-clothing-colors-10000001584157/page4.html

1. Flattering Color: Eggplant

"Some colors work for all skin tones and hair colors, because they fall into the middle of the color spectrum, meaning they're not too warm or too cool." Case in point: eggplant (Pantone 19-2311 TC). Eiseman calls the tone "the perfect purple" because it is extremely versatile, almost like a black, a dark brown, or a navy.

2. Flattering Color: True Red

Designer Bill Blass once said, "When in doubt, wear red." And he was right. Not only does red stop traffic but it may also make you a winner. In a study conducted at the University of Durham, in England, researchers found that athletes in combative sporting competitions who wore red were more apt to win than contestants wearing other colors. Pantone 19-1664 TC flatters everyone because it "resides in the center of the color spectrum, in between a cool cherry red and a warm, orangey tomato red".

3. Flattering Color: Indian Teal

Colors on opposite sides of the color wheel enhance each other, Pantone 19-4227 TC, the color-wheel opposite of pink―plays up a healthy flush in the skin. Plus, it's more versatile than a bright, summery turquoise, so you can wear it well into the fall with black, brown, and other neutrals.

4. Flattering Color: Mellow Rose

The subtle color (Pantone 15-1515 TC) highlights the natural flush of one's face, somewhere between a light pink and a peach, which looks more like a neutral than a pastel, giving anyone who wears it a glow.

5.Flattering Colour Moss or Army Green- not sure of exact name but I will look into it ;)
