Color Tips

Consider choosing a color that will go with your hair color, eye color, skin tones or clothes.

To match hair color, choose the best match from the following:

To match eye color, choose the best match from the following:

*Note:
Our Resort Blue has too much purple in it to go with many denim fabrics (which have more yellow). Putting Resort Blue and denim together can look like an attempted match that failed. Navy or Blue Shadow would be a better choice to go with denim.

White is okay under a white button-down, but colors other than white are generally a more flattering choice for t-shirts worn under other button-down shirts. It's best to match (or get close to) one of the accent colors of the shirt. If the button-down shirt is a solid color, choose a lighter or darker shade of the same color, or coordinate with hair color or skin tones.

Olive skin tones should stay away from colors that have golden tones. They do better with winter colors such as our blue colors, gray colors, and Bengal Rose. Other light skin tones do well with browns, corals, golds, and greens. Almost everyone looks good in our favorite red or ocean.

Unusual Color Info

Interesting information about blue

Egyptians saw Life in the deep blue color of water and the Divine in the immense blue of the sky, thus the dawn of the symbolism of the color blue lies in Ancient Egypt (see Egyptian Hymn of the Sun). The color blue, however, precedes all Empires: Skies and Oceans were blue before the dawn of Man on Earth. The cause of the blue color of the sky is dispersion of white light on molecules of air (Ralyleigh scattering), the dispersion being strongly dependent on the wavelength of light ( shorter wavelength of blue light are dispersed the strongest).
