A shade of red that carries no yellow or blue undertones. This helps prevent colour combinations for people with darker skin tones who will clash with blue undertones, while lighter skin tones would experience it with yellow undertones. The daring colour can work with workwear and athleisure, so go bold.
EGGPLANT
Models wear designs from Nao Serati, Sixx 6, Michael Kors.
