Another example is if you wanted to downplay that intensity of your eye color. Some people have extremely intense blue eyes. Bold blue eyes are beautiful, but may seem too intense when coupled with deep blue or other colors that intensify the blue effect. Deep blue clothing would be used to intensify and bring out light or pale blue eyes. To downplay and compliment bold blue eyes, wear pastels and deep neutral colors that are not picked up by the eyes.
Color can even hide, reshape, or accentuate the appearance of the body's shape.
To change the appearance of your shape, think in terms of light and dark combinations. Many women want to increase the appearance of the size of their breasts. A way this can be done with color is to choose a dark solid color for a skirt or pant along with a printed or boldly colored top. Another area some women want to reshape is the hip area. A popular practice is to wear all black or dark colors in an effort to downplay curves and bulges.
