Choosing the right colors
It is on the whole probably that according to coloring, individuals may be classified as follows:
– cool types: golden hair, fair skin, pale pink cheeks with hint of blue, blue or gray eyes; blue-black hair with fair skin, blue or gray eyes;
– warm types: auburn hair, brown eyes, creamy skin, pink cheeks tinged with yellow rather than blue, some of this group have blue-gray eyes. Also those with dark-brown hair, brown eyes, olive skin, red-orange flush on cheeks.
Obviously, the cool type of people will find cool colors such as blues, grays, blue-greens and greens, their best choices with trimmings and accessories, if desired, in the warmer colors for contrast. The warm colors, however, should be toward the cool colors rather than too intensely warm.
The warm type girl, with auburn or brown hair and brown eyes and warm skin with a tinge of orange in it, will apparently look her best in the warm browns, oranges, reds, red-purples and the yellow-greens.
In this case, intermediate are between these two types – the fortunate persons who can wear all colors if the proper consideration is given to the correct proportions of colors and to the occasion on which they will be used.

No Doubt
“Sometimes in life, from out of a myriad of prosaic decisions like what to eat and where to sleep and how to dress, a true crossroads is revealed. In these moments, when the fog of relative irrelevancy lifts and fate rolls out a demand for free will, there is only left or right – no option of four-by-fouring into the underbrush between two paths, no negotiating with the choice that has been presented. You must answer the call and pick your way. And there is no reverse.”
— J.R. Ward, Lover Avenged
