Connect Your Style and Colour Choices 

Your quiz result describes the clothes and details you enjoy. Colour adds another choice. A classic wardrobe can include a colourful shirt, and a bold wardrobe can include soft shades. You can try the same colour in different fabrics or prints to see which version feels like you.

Find Your Colours: Understand Your Skin Undertone 

Your style personality reflects what you enjoy wearing. Colour gives you another way to explore your personal style. After completing the quiz, try learning about your skin’s undertone to discover new colour combinations. 

What Is a Skin Undertone? 

Your undertone is the subtle colour beneath your skin’s surface. It differs from how light or dark your skin is. The three main categories are warm, cool, and neutral (Cherney, 2024).

Warm Cool and Neutral Undertones 

Warm undertones have peach, yellow, or golden hints. Cool undertones have pink or bluish hints. Neutral undertones have a balance of warm and cool characteristics (Cherney, 2024). 

Compare Jewellery and Clothing 

Gold versus silver jewellery and cream versus white clothing can offer clues about your undertone (Cherney, 2024). 

Try comparing two tops beside your face near a window. Use the same light for both, and notice whether you prefer one shade against your skin. Do not rely on a phone screen to identify your undertone; its colour settings can change what you see. 

Choose Clothing Colours for Your Undertone 

Use these colour groups as starting points. The combinations below are styling ideas to try with clothes you already own. 

Cool Undertones 

Colours to explore: Rose pink, lilac, raspberry red, and cool blue. 

Try a rose-pink blouse with charcoal trousers, or a lilac cardigan with white jeans. For a smaller colour accent, add a berry scarf to a grey jacket. Start with one coloured piece and compare the effect near your face. 

Warm Undertones 

Colours to explore: Peach, golden yellow, coral, and cream. 

Try a peach top with cream trousers, or a golden-yellow knit with brown jeans. For a softer combination, wear a cream shirt under a camel cardigan. Repeat one warm colour in a small accessory if you enjoy a coordinated look. 

Neutral Undertones 

Colours to explore: Soft pink, pale blue, taupe, and beige. Try both warm and cool palettes. 

Try a soft-pink shirt with taupe trousers, or a pale-blue knit with beige jeans. You can also mix a cool top with a warm neutral bottom. Compare lighter, deeper, softer, and brighter versions rather than assuming every shade will look the same.

You can wear what you enjoy. These suggestions are flexible, and your preferences matter more than a colour chart.

Dressing Tips

These suggestions are flexible, and your personal preferences matter more than any colour chart. If you love a particular shade, try adding it through a top, scarf, bag, or pair of shoes. It does not need to cover a large area of your outfit.
