How do you find the perfect green for you? Consider your coloring (warm goes with warm, cool with cool). We’re over-simplifying, but here’s a decent guideline: naturally golden blondes, freckled redheads, and those blessed with auburn or shades chocolate (from milk to bittersweet) brown hair, you’re on the warm team. Pale blondes, ashy brunettes and jet-black temptresses are cooler customers. So Halle Berry looks stunning in the warm moss green and Kirsten Dunst stops traffic in emerald.
Undertone-appropriateness aside, the perfect green may also be one you associate with a good memory, like the time you waded out 100 yards from shore in the clear aqua-green ocean, or the exact waxy blue-green of a gardenia leaf on your wedding day, or the silvery grass in the valley you saw from the end of a perfectly exhausting hike. And anyone who is familiar with that kind of feeling would know exactly what I’m talking about.
