Do not Feel Blue in Blue
There are many different shades of blue and it is sometimes difficult to know what shade of blue makes you look your best! Blues range from blues powder throughout the deep blue sea. Each shade can look better or worse on different people depending on their hair and color eyes and skin. It sounds complicated, but once you become familiar with the Munsell system of color analysis, it is not so difficult to grasp.
The Munsell system is used by anyone who is involved in color: paint manufacturers, hairdressers, Colour Me Beautiful image consultants. The Munsell system identifies color in terms of three characteristics, nuances of color (or blue or yellow), value (color depth very pale to very dark) and chroma (brightness, very clear and very bright to very dark and silent). A color analysis will most women and men in one of six "dominant" groups. These groups are "light", "deep", "hot" "Cool", "clear" and "mild". Sometimes it is not always clear which group is part of an individual, but generally the dominant characteristics of each group are as follows:
Light: hair blond or light, pale blue eyes, gray or green, pale eyebrows, delicate skin. Claudia Schiffer is a perfect example. The best blue for this group would be a pale or Light Blue, nothing too dark or bright.
Deep: Hair dark brown or black, black eyes, black eyebrows, porcelain-skinned black. Catherine Zita-Jones is a good example. The best blue for this group is very dark and rich - a Dark Navy example.
Hot: your hair red, green, brown or blue eyes, eyebrows hot tonic, golden skin. The Duchess of York is a example of hot. The best for this group is blue-yellow-blue as turquoise.
Cool: hair blond or ash gray, gray, blue, green or brown eyes, eyebrows blonde in the dark shades of pink or blue to the skin. Judi Dench is perfect Cool. The best blue for this group of blue-violet or ice blue.
Clear black hair, striking blue or topaz eyes, dark eyebrows and light to dark skin color. Courtney Cox is an excellent example of a spring. The best blue for this group is a clear light blue as Royal Blue.
Soft: Dark brown or blond hair, soft eyes colored blue, green or brown, light black eyebrows and little contrast between hair and eye color. Kylie Minogue is a striking example of an app. The best blue for this group is a soft muted blue like a faded denim or soft blue sky.
To summarize, you mirror, you look with shades of color you wear. I just talk about blue, but course this applies to all colors as well. Wearing a shade of blue can make a difference to the appearance of a person. Making good choice can make you look younger, healthier and more attractive. If you have a good self image, you will feel more comfortable in everything you.
