Warm

People who fall into this category are easy to spot. The majority have some red in their hair, from rich brown through to auburn or ginger - there may even be some strawberry blondes.

When women in this category go grey, they are desperate to have their hair coloured because it can take on an unattractive hue. Their eyes might be blue, but not that bright turquoise blue; eye colour is more likely to be brown, hazel or a duller green. Their skin tone might be a little sallow or freckly, but generally not dark or mid brown.

This colour grouping looks truly appalling in black; it is their worst colour by far. Navy comes a close second, followed by any shade of pink or pastel blue. They generally do not suit colours that are cold or have too much blue in them, like a hot pink or bright turquoise. Grey is not great either, as it will totally wash out their complexion.

The best colours are autumnal - think of a New England landscape. Rusts, khakis, warm rich browns, olive greens and tomato reds. Some can wear blue if it's more of a teal blue.

Others can get away with brick, as long as it's not too pink. You could still be a Warm and not suit apricot.

If you don't suit olive and mustard, you don't belong in the Warm section at all.

It is important to remember that Warm is the easiest category to know for sure that it's right, far more so than Cool and Bright or Mid Tones. Some people cross categories, but if you suit Warm you will definitely not be in doubt.
