Choosing the colour that is right for you is a tricky business.  I tend to wear a lot of dark grey or black but am now trying out new colours, but which ones?  I like blues like Cobalt or French Navy but are they going to work with my colouring?  Wearing the right colours for you can really make a look come together and help you feel more confident. It can even make you look well rather than washed out.

There are lots of websites out there offering colour analysis but it is a process that you can do yourself.  The basic idea is to work out which season you are, spring, summer, autumn or winter.  You can do this by looking at your overall skin tone, hair and eye colour.
