Cool or Warm Coloring: What Colors Are Right For Me?

Your “coloring” is either cool or warm—indicating which color family most accentuates your skin, eyes, and hair. Wearing eyeglass frames in your color family is one more simple way to ensure your glasses flatter you. Three ways to quickly and easily determine your coloring:

1. Look at the veins on your wrist. Are they more blue or green? If they look more blue, you are likely a cool (blue/pink undertones); if they look more green, you are likely a warm (yellow/peach undertones).
2. Put silver-toned jewelry, then gold-toned jewelry, by your face. Which jewelry brings out more color and enhances your look? People with cool coloring tend to look best in silver; people with warm coloring tend to look best in gold.
3. Use your wardrobe to see what colors look best on you. Simply hold different shades up to your face, one at a time, and notice the effects. The colors that compliment you the most are your best colors and indicate your coloring (see the cool and warm color wheels below).

That's it. Now you can confidently buy glasses online. Feeling pumped? Share some of that giddy-like-a-first-kiss-without-the-awkwardness-or-bad-breath joy—
