what colour clothes show a light olive complextion ?

Answer 1

My mom has an olive complexion and looks great in blues, greens, and pinks.

Answer 2

Cool color tones - blues, violet, some greens and their variations. But I think pinks are the best. Avoid yellow (some dark yellows are ok), like the plague, or you'll look like you have it.

Answer 3

and in magazines etc it says that turqoise really brings out a tan..what is similar to my skin colour:

another colour also is bright yellow..the kind on a canary bird..something too dull wont look nice:

black is a classic and will look nice just as red will too..

...try looking at celebs in magazines or on the net who have olive skin for inspiration..like shakira:
