Well, I'm not thinking that this thread applies to me too much, but I voted for cools.

Actually, it's not really what looks best on me (and that's why this thread doesn't really apply) but it's that green is all I wear. Every shirt I own is green (ok, except for pants and shorts--those are all khaki). So that's just one of my many obsessive qualities; something of a trade mark for those who know me.

Just thought I'd share that with y'all :)

I've heard that red is my colour.

But who knows . . .

I love all colours! *dances* Except a few.

And that totally makes sense. ;)

It depends if I'm tanned or not...LOL

If I'm really pale then warm tones can brighten me up, if I'm really tanned then cool tones can balance it :)

I just pretty much only look good in dark colours- not sure about warm or cool- i don't really think it works like that. If anything i'd say warm colours- but yeah i look washed out in anything remotely pale. lol

I can wear either! my 2 fave colors are orange and turquoise! the only color that looks horrible on me is the florescent deep pink!

from what I'm told... warm tones.  Red especially, whenever I go dress shopping they always try to get me to buy a red dress because it looks good with dark hair apparently - though I've had way too many red dresses :wink:

Hmm I can go with either. I'm a red head so certain reds really clash with my hair and look awful, and black drowns me slightly! I've been told jade green suits me well, as does baby blue-I have ALOT of thatxoxo

Thank so much for the sig Scotty!! <3 It's gorgeous!

My skin tone supports cool colors better.
