Alright, folks, gather ’round. Today, I’m diving into something that’s been bugging me for a while: what colors just don’t work for us gingers? I’ve been experimenting, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey.
My Colorful Experiment
First off, I raided my closet. I pulled out everything, and I mean everything. From those bright, neon shirts I bought on a whim to those muted, earthy tones that are supposedly a “safe bet.” I laid them all out on my bed, a chaotic rainbow of bad decisions waiting to happen.
Then, the real fun began. I started trying things on. One by one.
- First up, neon yellow. Big mistake. Huge. I looked like a highlighter that had come to life. Not a good look. I immediately tossed it into the “never again” pile.
- Next, I tried a pastel pink. It wasn’t as bad as the yellow, but it still washed me out. I looked like I hadn’t seen the sun in years, which, considering I’m a redhead, is kind of ironic.
- Then I moved on to olive green. Now, I had high hopes for this one. People always say green is a good color for redheads. But this particular shade? Nope. It made my skin look kind of sickly. Like I was about to turn into a zombie or something.
The Verdict
After a good few hours of this, I was starting to get a clearer picture. Bright, in-your-face colors? Not my friends. Pastels? Also a no-go. And certain shades of green? Let’s just say we’re not on speaking terms.
But it wasn’t all bad. I found that jewel tones, like deep blues and emerald greens, actually looked pretty decent. And surprisingly, black was a winner. Who knew?
So, there you have it. My very unscientific, very personal experiment in finding out which colors to avoid. It was messy, it was a bit frustrating, but hey, at least now I know what not to wear to my next big event. Unless I want to look like a washed-out, neon zombie, that is.
