A dress may come in many different colors. To avoid looking too pale or too dark in your dress, pick a dress that will flatter your natural skin color.
Let us categorize the skin tone into three: blue or pink undertones, golden undertones, and golden with peach undertones. People under the blue or pink undertone may have skin that is pale white, yellowish-olive, or dark. African Americans and many Asians are in this category.
People with golden undertone may have pale or pink skin and have brown or pale colored eyes. Lastly, people with generally strawberry red hair, as well as blue or green eyes have golden undertones with a hint of peach.
If you are under the first category, blue or pink undertone, then you should wear a prom dresses with a sharp or clear color. Try a dress with color black, navy blue, white, shocking pink, and red. You may also try icy colors rather than the pastel colors. Stay clear from colors such as gold, orange, and beige.
For the second group of skin tone, go for pastel and soft neutral colors. Golden undertones are also suitable for your skin tone. Cocktail dresses for people under this category should not try blue tones and black.
Girls in this group, golden undertone with slight of peach, should go for dresses with warm colors. These colors include peach, golden brown, golden yellow, and camel. The colors to avoid are dull or dark colors.
