[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: Morning, Peter. Nice suit! A new one? M: Oh, yes. My wife bought it for me yesterday. Hmm, you look nice in that yellow dress. Yellow suits you really well. W: Maybe. Several people also have suggested that I get more yellow clothes. They say the color suits me because of my skin. M: That's right. You know, pink, green and black could also be good for you. Actually, I think all colors are okay for a person like you. Different colors can give people different impressions. For example, black could make you look mature, while pink could make you look young and energetic. W: It's kind of you to say so. It sounds like you're a clothing expert. What would the listener say?
