Frame colour should also be used to complement your natural colouring, including skin tone; skin colour (ranging from fair to dark) and hair colours.

Pink - If you are very fair, burn before you tan, and your skin has pink or porcelain under tones you will look nice with faint-coloured frames - or for a clean and simple style, try rimless frames. Try camel, khaki, gold, copper, peach, orange, coral, off-white, fire-engine red, warm blue and blond tortoise

Yellow – If you are Caucasian, Asian or Light Mixed and have beige or yellow undertones you will look nice with gold, copper , or silver coloured frames

Olive – If you are Mediterranean, Latino, a Fair-skinned African, or dark mixed-race, then you will look nice with light-coloured metals in blue-grey and browns .

Brown – If you are African, deep complexioned Indian or any other dark skin colour then you will look nice with most metallic frames in shades of purple, black, rose-brown, blue-grey, plum, magenta, pink, jade, blue and semi-amber and dark tortoise

Hair and Eye colours are usually a secondary element in determining frame colours but they are important so consider all combinations as a whole.
