Best Blue Shades for Your Color Season: Find the Perfect Hue for Your Skin Tone
June 17, 2025
Introduction
Blue is one of the most universally flattering colors—but only if you choose the right shade for your undertone. The perfect blue can brighten your features, make your skin glow, and add instant polish to your summer wardrobe. But a mismatched blue? It can make you look washed out, tired, or just off.
This guide breaks down the five most wearable blues—navy, cobalt, baby blue, teal, and turquoise—and shows which color seasons can rock each one (and which should probably pass).
🔍 With LookSky’s AI Stylist and Color Season analysis, you’ll know instantly which blues make you glow—no returns, no regrets.
Understanding Color Seasons & Undertones
Quick Recap:
   Cool Seasons (Summer, Winter): Blue-based undertones
    Warm Seasons (Spring, Autumn): Golden or peachy undertones
Why Undertones Matter for Blue:
   Some blues lean cool-gray (good for Winters/Summers)
   Others lean green or turquoise (ideal for Springs/Autumns)
