On Saturday morning I carefully cleared the clothes I never wear from my work wardrobe. I have very fair skin, naturally blonde hair, and cool blue eyes, so I expected the remaining pieces to work together fairly easily. Instead, anything close to orange-red makes me look washed out, especially under the lights in our office. Colours such as cool pinks seem calmer, although I cannot tell whether that is a real pattern or simply preference. A recent photo in a muted teal scarf made the difference noticeable enough that I want a sensible method before choosing a work capsule. I keep wondering whether I am reacting to my hair colour. To test a few sensible directions, I used hair colour filter as a useful starting point. Now I plan to compare the same two tops in phone photos before choosing between a pink knit. I am trying to keep the experiment cheap, repeatable, and practical. Has anyone found one clothing test that stays reliable in different light? |
