12 Colours That Suit Dusky Women

Being a dusky woman in India is a bit of a struggle. We are a tropical country and 70 percent of the population is technically 'dusky'. However, Indians majorly have a fetish for white skin. We are obsessed with women who have fair complexion. You look at the television or cinema, you will notice that a majority of the faces you see are fair. Dusky women are slowly creating a niche for themselves now.

Fashion for women with dark complexion is very much different. While you see fair skinned women display most of the fashionable clothes, even dusky women have a role to play in determining style statements. Take colours for example. All colours do not suit the dark complexion. So dusky women need to be careful about picking the right colours for themselves.

The two colours that suit dark skinned women are, black and white. Both these colours have universal appeal and you can play around with them. Among the other colours for dark skin, blue and yellow can be tried. Both these colours look very bight on dark complexion.

Here are some fashion tips regarding colours that dusky women must try.

White

White is a colour that looks beautiful on any complexion. But the contrast of white on dark skin is particularly amazing.

Cream

This is one of the colours that does fire up fair complexion but looks striking on dusky women. Cream is a light colour and looks great on the background of dark skin.

Teal Green

Teal green is a very rare low-intensity shade of green. This colour looks much better on dark skinned women as compared to other shades of green.

Red

Conventionally, red is not supposed to be a colour for dusky women. But it is now time to change the rules. Red flatters dark skin if it is worn in the right way. This blood red mini dress for example is definitely a 'hit'.

Yellow

There are many types of yellow. While neon shades of yellow may not flatter dark skin, but sunflower yellow looks very bright on dusky people.

Cobalt Blue

Just like yellow and green, blue has many shades. Deeper shades of blue like royal blue or midnight blue may not suit dark women. But cobalt blue looks bright and chirpy on them.

Sea Green

Dark green shades are not really the best shades for dusky women. They should try more vibrant shades like sea green. It also depends on the dress to a certain extent.

Grey

Until recently, grey was not seen as a colour at all. It was considered to be dull and light. But grey is a very fashionable colour now and dusky women look stunning in it.

Mauve

Mauve is one of the rare colours that looks better on dark complexion. And if you have a lovely dress designed by Tarun Tahiliani in mauve then it will look good.

Black

Black is a colour that can look good on absolutely any complexion. But dark skinned women should not wear dirty shades of black. Jet black or shimmering black is ideal for them.

Beige

Beige is again a very light English colour. While it looks all right on fair people, it looks significantly better on dusky women. Always wear Western outfits in beige colour. Reserve the bright colours for your Indian outfits.
