If this question seems odd, then please forgive me as I'm relatively new to fashionably matching suit, tie and shirt color combinations. What I was wondering was, is there a professional method, a school of thought or parameters of consideration in matching skin tones to match a color combination to shirts, ties and suits. For example, in advertising, a very dark female African model is rarely seen in photographs to model the classic "little black dress". In this example, one might think that a lighter or fairer skinned model would better define the areas where the skin ends and the fabric begins. So say for a extremely pale White male, can certain bright colors might be too much wherein more toned down colors may be preferred. So, in closing, in the professional annals of the fashion industry, are there skin tone matching considerations that the layman could use in matching colors in clothing?
