Orange is my favorite color...love it and most of the warm colors and of course "black".
I think that it is just a matter of skin tones. (warm or cool)
Right you are. I have very pale skin, blue gray eyes, white hair. I once did the Color Me Beautiful testing, I’m a Summer, and warm tones just wash what little color I have out. I can wear winter white but not white. If the red is of an orange cast, I can’t wear it, but a blue cast and it is great on me. I can wear the cool shades of green like lime but not the warmer tones. The only easy way for me to wear black is as a jacket with a cool toned blouse or shell. Blue-reds, purple and deep or hot pink are my favorite colors.
I love color, I’m a quilter! A quilt-a-holic in fact.
