Red first, also orange and green. With pale skin and blond greying hair I need colors that don’t make me look even paler.

I am not really a fan of red, but it looks the best on me with my light skin and dark hair.

I find orange and green make most people looking slightly sick.

I am also pretty pale and find red is a good contrast.

Man...I LOVE eggplant color. To me, it's the sophisticated version of purple. :-) I used to have an eggplant colored dress, and I always felt like a million dollars in it, and always got a ton of compliments.

I read something once, a long time ago, that there are certain colors that work universally, for everyone. True red is one I remember, and the other one I remembered was navy blue, and pink.

Lmao. I just bought a forest green dress to wear to a wedding. I think the color looks good on me!

But I could never wear coral. I bought a coral blouse once because it matched one of the colors in a skirt with a black backround, but when I wore it, I looked pasty and it brought out every mark on my face.

A friend wears it all the time and she looks fine, (but she calls it Karl, lol.)

Long ago in a galaxy far away, I had a big wedding, and I chose red lace for the five bridesmaids' dresses. They looked good on everybody.

Black & red. Black because it make you thinner and red because I love the color.
