Jewel Tones

Color Genres: Pale Tones · Pastels · Brights · Dimmed Tones · Moderates · Vivids · Dusky Shades · Rich Shades · Jewel Tones

Jewel Tones are colors with deep value and clear chroma. Deep and clear. Saturated like a gemstone held to the light.

The nine color genres come from Anuschka Rees and her book Personal Color. Her system is the clearest map of color I know, and it’s worth owning. Find Personal Color at anuschkarees.com ↗

Who looks great in jewel tones

• Warm skin: 14 of my jewel tones, like 008 Burgundy, 013 Pomegranate, 016 Fire Red
• Cool skin: 14 of my jewel tones, like 007 Fuchsia Red, 009 Red Wine, 011 Maroon
• Olive skin: 3 of my jewel tones, like 012 Oxblood Red, 013 Pomegranate, 084 Kingfisher Blue
• Soft Neutral skin: 0 of my jewel tones

Depth matters too. Deeper genres usually flatter deeper skin and high contrast between hair, eyes and skin. Your hair and eyes tell me the rest in a session.

How to wear jewel tones

Jewel tones are deep and saturated. They hold their own against black and bright white, and a single jewel tone near the face is striking.

My library doesn’t have jewel tones in every family yet. Missing for now: oranges, yellows, browns and golds, grays. When a genre has a gap, mixing two dyes on the fabric can get you close: add a little gray to soften, or a lighter dye to lift.
