Armochromy: how it works and how to recognize the colors that enhance us most

Colors to wear!

Innbamboo's color expert reveals a few basic rules for choosing the right colors to wear.

There has been a lot of talk lately about armchromes, so we caught up with Alessandra Fragiotta, an image consultant, and discovered that wearing the right accessories often requires just a few color tricks.

What it is

Armochromia is the analysis of the relationship between skin, eye and hair undertones that allows us to discover the friendly colors that enhance us most.

Once we understand our color characteristics we simply need to repeat them. Whether it is clothing and make-up, or whether we are choosing an accessory to wear.

What are the rules to keep in mind to understand one's armochromia?

As a first step, it is necessary to find out one's undertone; our complexion can be warm or cool, harmonizing subtly, or enhancing sharp contrasts.

To find out whether one's tones are bright and saturated or delicate and dusty, it can help to place fabrics of warm colors (such as a spicy orange) and cool colors (a light blue) near the face. The shade that highlights your image and makes you look more beautiful and radiant corresponds to the tone that best suits your complexion.

Women who have cool, intense colors-with a sharp contrast between eyes, complexion and hair-are enhanced by bright, deep shades. Warm, muted faces are flanked by shades typical of autumn, while the color panel of those with warm but ringing, bright colors corresponds to saturated, contrasting shades. Cool, delicate faces look good with pastel, powdery and pearly shades.

Having analyzed your armocromy, it will be easier to discover your enemy colors as well, those that on the contrary make you look more tired and highlight flaws.

Always remember that there is no right or wrong, but there is our approach to the universe. I like to think that "beauty is an attitude," as Isabel Allende says, and we create it through many facets.

How can we use armochromy to choose the Bamboo Scarf that best suits our complexion?

If you belong to the first category - cool, intense colors - opt for bold contrasts and bright, vivid shades. Or try black and white scarves; they are perfect for you, especially when paired with dark lipstick. If your colors are warm and muted, choose a Bamboo Scarf in wraparound tones and don't create too sharp contrasts.

Warm and bright women wear coral red and orange well. Finally, a soft and light Bamboo Scarf will suit cool and delicate faces.

Of course, these tips can be supported by specific and professional tests, which will allow you to discover more about yourself.
