Color selection depends on which factor?

• A. Eye color
• B. Skin undertones
• C. Hair length
• D. Nail color

Answer: (B)

Color selection hinges on skin undertones. The undertone—whether cool, warm, or neutral—determines how colors interact with your skin, influencing what looks harmonious rather than jarring. You can gauge undertone by checking vein color (bluish/purple tends to be cool; greenish tends to be warm), seeing which metal jewelry flatters you more (silver for cool, gold for warm), and noting how your skin responds to sun. Once you know your undertone, you’ll choose clothing, makeup, and pigments that enhance your complexion. Eye color, hair length, or nail color aren’t the baseline drivers of color harmony; they’re features to consider, but they don’t determine what flatters your skin.
