Pastel colors: They appear soft on paper, but less flattering on skin.
They evoke images of summer ice cream, light sweaters, and the return of warmer days.

But you don't have to banish them altogether: They can be used subtly in accessories, or you can choose slightly bolder versions like a light raspberry pink or a vibrant sky blue.
Khaki green: trendy, yes… flattering, not always
