Picking The Perfect Color For Your Dress by Jimmy Cox
As color has a tremendous emotional impact and effect on moods and appearance its importance in fashion designing is without question; and because of its importance it is well to learn how it should be used with different women's coloring.

Gray Hair - Pale Skin: All soft shades of most warm or cool colors, shiny black, dark gray. Avoid: Brown, tan, dull black, white, light gray.
White Hair - Pale Skin: Pastel tints, all shades and tints of low intensity red from flesh to maroon, soft blues or greens, creamy white, black. Avoid: Tan, brown, dead white, yellow green.
Complexion Variation:
Sallow skin - avoid bright blue and unrelieved black.Sallow skin but coloring is cool - soft cool colors, blues and greens, creamy white accents near face.Sallow skin but coloring is warm - soft warm colors, yellow orange to red.
Florid Complexion: can be subdued by dark values. Avoid complementary colors near face.Color of complexion and cheeks can be EMPHASIZED BY ACCENTING OR CONTRASTING with color; also by cream white near the face.
To accent the color of eyes avoid a large expanse of a similar color near the face unless it is substantially subdued and darker or duller than the eye color - with contrast the eyes seem brighter. Exception: A small accent of bright or very intense color near the face of the same hue as the eyes will make the observer conscious of that color which will make the eye color seem brighter by reflection.
Use these colors as a guide and you will choose the right color for yourself or your client every time.
