Your Jewelry Preference: The cool crowd favors silver, rose gold, or a combination of the two.

Cooler Skin Tones' Favorite Colors

In charcoal, cool blues, and violet, cooler tones look fantastic. Keep in mind, however, that vibrant colors can make cool skin tones appear paler.

We usually prefer pastel colors to soften the silhouette, but we also suggest blues and pinks, soft yellow, or green in your wardrobe.

Avoid these Colors if at all Possible

Too bold, strong colors, such as electric blue or green grass, are the biggest no-no when it comes to dressing cooler skin tones. Oranges and yellows should be avoided, according to stylists.

Neutral Skin Tones' Favorite Colors

Stick with shades that are in the middle of the color spectrum because neutral tones look great in neutral colors. Light peach, dusty pinks, soft rose, peony pink, placid blue, jade green, and cameo green are all good choices if you want to add more sparkle to your wardrobe than white, beige, and taupe can provide.

Avoid these Colors if at all Possible

For neutral skin tones, reds, yellows, and anything else that is too bright or vibrant can be overwhelming. If you must wear yellow, go for a soft shade like corn silk or buff.
