When Sweeny came out for a visit, when we went to meet Muse at the Getty I wore this rust-orange shirt...she said I should buy more shirts like that (I tend to wear LOTS of black and dark greys)...I also got complimented on that shirt by my ex the second time I wore it. Only thing is, I really have no clue as to what types of colors might look good on me.

So, I'm tryin' to figure out what colors I might look good in (besides black and dark grey...heh). What would look good with medium skin color, dark brown eyes, and black hair with a little more grey in it than I'd like?? Oh, and don't say white, because other than dress shirts I doubt I'll be buying much white, no matter how I look in it...lol

Any suggestions?? (think of it as "Org Eye For The Colorblind Guy")

orange

anything really


have a great day

WHy do men stick with only a few colors? My boyfriend owns a zillion grey and blue shirts.

Byron I think u would look good in any color. But I believe u are a spring/fall

So go for colors like yellow & green,orange,red
Stay on the left side of the color wheel

Red, or anything bright. I prefer the basic colors more.


Geez

Ok, I'm looking into orange more, which floors me because I NEVER would have thought of buying anything orange before...I only bought the shirt I wore to the Getty because it was on sale at a ridiculously low price..lol..

Men stick with what works...lol

I do have a few dark green shirts and pants... ...or are you meaning bright green? I only have one bright green shirt, and it did get complimented when I wore it (although I'm not sure if just the shirt got complimented, or if me WEARING the shirt got complimented..lol)

And yellow??...U sure?

Byron said:

Oh yes yelllow,it would go great with your skin tone...golden yellow
Any shade of green would look nice. I was thinking like a forest green...even lime

although, it must be said, you look fantastic in black

Kayleigh said:

I wouldn't go THAT far...lol...I do look ok in white, I just doubt I'd ever have more than mayyybe one or two articles of white clothing in my closet at anytime...

nakedpianoplayer said:

You're not helping, tho...lol

With your dark skin..any bright color would look good on you!

Byron said:

sorry

orange, red, mustard, yellow.... anything WARM in color!


Just print this out and take it to the store:

There I think I got my point across

forest green is too dark .... anything dark makes him look tired.

Light green looks nice on you Byron.

And of course black suits you well too. Actually I don't think I've ever really seen you in white

I think he would look nice in forest green,It'll bring out his eyes


This green would be too dark

Ok I call that first green lime green and the second one forest green. I get ya now and yup I agree

My mother's into this system that tells you what colours are most flattering on you, based on what "season" you are (Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall). Maybe have a look into that?

By the way, it's not about what time of year you were born, it's based on your colouring.

...I think I can remember those colors without visual aides...lol

ThreadCula said:

I actually have one shortsleeve t-shirt this color...

I guess now I need two...

Byron said:

You sure?

Ace said:

How can I get access to your mother's system??

Sweeny79 said:

Eh, you're right...I'd probably end up walking out of the store with yet another dark grey shirt under my arm...

Byron said:

yup
