Earlier this week I systematically cleared the clothes I never wear from my work wardrobe. I have pale skin, naturally blonde hair, and cool blue eyes, so I expected the remaining pieces to work together fairly easily. Instead, anything close to mustard makes me look much duller, 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 dusty rose jumper made the difference noticeable enough that I want a sensible method before ordering another jumper. I keep wondering whether I am reacting to the shop lighting. To compare the suggestions, I used soft summer hair colors as a practical checklist. Now I plan to compare the same two tops in video calls before choosing between a blue dress. I am trying to keep the experiment cheap, repeatable, and practical. Has anyone found one clothing test that stays reliable in different light?
