Warm Undertones: Can You Wear Yellow? Here’s What Actually Flatters

Yellow gets a bad rap. I get it—some yellows do wash people out. But if you have a warm undertone like me (I’m a Clear Spring), the right yellow can be one of your most flattering shades. Here's how to find it using LookSky’s free Color Season Scan.

Quick Answer

Wondering if you can wear yellow with warm undertones? According to LookSky’s stylists, the key is choosing the right undertone and saturation—like marigold, butter, or goldenrod.

Why Yellow Can Be Tricky—Even If You're Warm-Toned

• Yellow reflects a lot of light, which can emphasize the wrong tones if it’s not a match

• Cold-toned yellows (like lemon or neon) can clash even on warm skin

• Samantha take (Co-Founder of LookSky): I've been told all of my life that Asian's can't wear yellow because my skin tone has a yellow-undertone. So, I've avoided wearing this color my entire life. Here's how I learned how to embrace this fun and delightful color.

Best Yellows for Warm Spring and Warm Autumn Skin
