I should WAYWT a mustard colored shirt one day; you will revise your opinion.

I can wear pink and lavender pretty well. No yellow, grass green for me.

I think earthy greens (not Kelly) look very good on blondes and people with fair skin. Deep pinks also look good on fair skinned folk. But pale pink washes you out. Watermelon is one of my favorite summer colors for shirts.

TYCOON doesn't like ORANGE! TYCOON likes rich colors and pastels!

I don't think that anyone has really got this colour thing down yet for fashion, although I have noticed personally some things work better on me than others. I've got blue eyes and blue is a very easy colour for me to wear. Same with brown because of my brown hair. I can get away with lots of different muted colours like maroons, crimsons, etc. but I'm selling all of my darker purple stuff after learning through trial by error that it just doesn't look good next to my pale skin. Too overpowering.

People with blue or green eyes are lucky; you can get away with just wearing the color of your eyes. I'm Korean, with a slightly darker skin tone than most Asians (but not as dark as Philippines). My eyes and hair are both very dark, so I pick colors to bring out my complexion.

For shirts, I've gotten a lot of compliments wearing light purples, mint and teal, and any shade of blue that isn't royal. Also, white over ecru, and any patterned shirt that has enough white to create a contrast without being distracting or loud (certain JCrew plaids, for example). Darker colors that make my skin tone pop are medium grey (just lighter than charcoal), navy, and if I'm a little sunburnt, burgundy and crimson.

Interesting(?) story: I learned a lot of this from my mom.
