Your strong coloring demands deep shades of beautiful colors and can be worn with bright or light ones for contrast or with a combination of other dark colors. 

You are blessed to be able to wear both gold and silver accessories. If you have a very pink undertone to your skin, then silver might be your best choice or you may wear shiny gold. A gold/silver mix is always a great combination. Bold gemstones are a fun alternative.

Charcoal with turquoise is a winning combination. Black will always be stunning on you for evening wear but why not try true red in satin, velvet or silk jersey? For leisurewear, pine green and hot pink are winners on women with your deep coloring. You might consider a lemon yellow jogging suit or a true red sweater with dark jeans. Leopard print is always great on you.

A good rule for you to remember is to stay away from pastels. The softest shades of the color spectrum will only make you appear tired. Instead of a light shade of pink, opt instead for a vibrant purple or lime green. You will be gorgeous!

Your basic shoe color should coordinate with your hair color! Since you are probably a dark brunette or have black hair then black or dark brown shoes or boots will be your best choice. You will wear these shoes if in doubt of the color shoes for your outfit … i.e. if wearing a purple dress, then you would wear your black or dark brown shoes, not taupe like the blondes would. Or if you are wearing jeans and a T-shirt, then wear your black or dark brown boots or shoes. This always gives you a head to toe look that is put together and not broken up
