WHAT COLOR SHOULD YOU WEAR?
If you are able to wear any color to your job; you are in the minority. It seems more and more hospitals, clinics and medical offices are going to specific colors for positions or departments. But if you are free to choose your colors, let us help you make the right choice!
Please understand that not every color will look good on you. I’m a “COOL TONE”. I can’t wear yellow. Every time I have worn yellow someone asks me if I’m not feeling well. L When I wear shades of blue, red or purple I get compliments. J So how do we choose our colors without the painful trial and error process of public reaction? First you need to determine your Skin Tone.
Follow the steps we found on https://www.wikihow.com/Choose-Colors-That-Flatter-Skin-Tone
Once you know your skin tone, then you will know your color palette!
