There is a general fear of wearing yellow dresses among women because the color yellow is difficult to match with a person’s hair color and skin tone. Finding the right dress can be a Herculean task but yellow can still be worn by any women as long as she has found the right shade to match her skin and hair color.
Skin color is very important in determining which shades of yellow will look good to a person. By looking at the wrist’s veins one can find out whether one’s skin tone is cool or warm. Greenish veins indicate warm skin while bluish veins indicate cool skin. The natural hair color can also be used as indicator of skin tone. Golden blond, ash, blue-black hair color indicates cool skin while strawberry blond, red, and deep brown indicate warm skin. In choosing the shade of yellow that enhances one’s complexion, it is best to avoid hues that are very close to one’s skin color. Bright or dark yellow dress will look good on pale skin while a lighter yellow hue is best for dark skin. Very bright yellow or greenish yellow is great for cool skin tones while warm skin tones can pick out yellow with undertones of peach.
