04 · Colors to try and colors to avoid

Start with these

  • Soft cream and olive for easy everyday combinations
  • Terracotta and warm teal for accents
  • Dark brown as an alternative to black

Use caution with

  • Icy blue beside your face
  • Blue-based hot pink
  • Optic white without a warm layer

These are example suggestions for this sample palette, not absolute rules. Compare garments in consistent daylight before ruling out a color.

05 · Shopping checklist

  1. Check colors in natural daylight, not solely on a screen.
  2. Confirm each new piece coordinates with at least two things you own.
  3. Compare two garments near your face, in similar lighting, before choosing.
  4. Consider texture, fabric and how the colors look together.
  5. Keep a screenshot of this palette as inspiration, not an exact fabric dye reference.

06 · Your pocket guide

Three anchors: cream / olive / deep brown. Accent options: terracotta / warm teal. Quick recipe: pick one anchor, add one coordinating neutral, then optionally one accent.

07 · Your fabric comparison log

Compare one suggested color with one you are unsure about. Try both near your face in the same light, then record what you see.
