determining the colors that looks best on you

[lasbar]

The gay community is normally very fashion orientated but camp is not elegant in any ways ...

I don't believe that being straight ,gay,blue ,red or white would make you more likely to be a sartorial master..
Everything is a question of a great of education ,culture ,outside influences and personal development..

On the AskAndy website somewhere or in the CD that he sells, there are recommended colors for different skin tones. I have medium brown skin and I remember finding a color palette for me.
Basically I should stay away from Green and Orange, which I happen to hate anyway!

Everyone looks good in all colors. It`s just a matter of finding the right shades.

The seasonal method doesn't work with photos.

It looks to me that you have yellowish/golden green eyes and darker complected warm skin in the picture. I figure you to be an Autumn. You have darker hair, but I know according to the book I have called "Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson that Autumns can have charcoal brown or black hair with swarthy skin. Looking at your picture, I'm thinking you have the "medium to deep copper" skin complexion as well.

The colors found in the Autumn palette are:

White: Oyster White
Beige: Earth and gold-tone beiges
Gray: No grays
Brown: Pretty much all browns are at your disposal
Black: No black
Navy: No navy either
Blue: Teal and deep periwinkle
Turquoise: turquoise
Green: All warm greens, from grayed to lime to bright yellow-greens and earth greens such as forest, moss, jade, and olive
Orange: All oranges
Pink: None
Red: Bittersweet, dark tomato, and orange-reds
Burgundy: None
Gold: All golds
Yellow: Yellow-gold
Purple: None

I hope all this from the "Color Me Beautiful" books helps out

I suggest you read Chapter 2, "The Power of Color", in Dressing the Man by Alan Flusser.
