While we may not be paying attention, skin tones have a lot to do with how well the color of our dress compliments our skin.

 

Most times, we are concerned about the cut of the clothes or the fabric but do not consider if the color works with our skin tones or not.

 

For black girls, they’re some particular colors that contrast the dusky tone and highlight it so that when you wear any of these, the outfit just works. This piece will highlight some of them.

Yellow

Yellow is the ultimate black girl color. Variations to it like pastel and mustard accentuate and make the skin really glow.

Gold

Gold especially metallic gold is one color that works beautifully on dark hues. You can also accessorise with golden jewelry like neck chains, earrings, and bracelets.

Red

While red can be a dicey color to wear, black women don’t have to worry so much about styling it as it works perfectly with dark skin tones.

Purple

Purple is the color of royalty and all black girls are queens so it’s a match made in heaven. Colors like lilac and lavender also go well dusky tones.

Orange

Orange especially burnt orange is a major head-turner. You can try orange midi dresses and low heeled sandals for an evening night out.

Emerald

Pretty undiscovered, this color is a major stunner. Like the gem it comes from, emerald color has a rich, luxurious tone that compliments dark skins. You can wear this color in a jumpsuit or an embellished dinner dress.

Coral

Besides getting along perfectly with your skin color, coral is a quite feminine, attractive, and modern shade.

Colbat blue

This color for black girls is a winner because it works for all shades. You can accessorise with cobalt blue cross bag or peep-toe heels.

Pink

Pink is another tricky color but this time instead of baby or shocking pink, blush color pink is actually great on dark skins. Also, rose pink and Fuschia is a great way to go to too.

 

Off-white

While you can’t really go wrong with white, the off-white version is quite the stunner on dusky skinned ladies. You could try a jacket style midi dress with this color for your special event.
