Are you warm or cool? Knowing the answer will help you easily select frame colors. These eyeglasses are by Modo M+.

• All people have either a warm (yellow-based) or cool (blue-based) coloring.
• Everyone looks best in his or her own color system.
• Eyewear color should complement personal coloring.

The main factors to determine the best color palette are the colors of the skin, eyes and hair.

Skin
Skin tone is the primary consideration in determining coloring. All complexions fall into one of two color systems - blue (cool) or yellow (warm). A cool complexion has blue or pink undertones, and a warm complexion has a "peaches and cream" or yellow cast. Olive skin is considered cool because it is a mixture of blue and yellow.

Eyes
Eye color is the second consideration in determining coloring because of the wide range of eye colors. For example, blue eyes can range from violet to a pale blue-gray, which is cool. Brown eyes can vary from a light cider shade through a medium-brown to almost black. These colors are warm.

Hair
Hair colors are also considered warm or cool. Grey, platinum, blue-black, white, salt-and-pepper and black are cool. Warm hair colors include golden blond, flat black brown-gold, "carrot" and "dirty" gray.

Eyeglass Frame Colors
Once you have determined if you are "warm" or "cool", then you can find the eyeglass frame colors that will suit you the best. Some examples of frame colors best for warm coloring are: camel, khaki, gold, copper, peach, orange, coral, off-white, fire-engine red, warm blue and blond tortoise. For cool coloring, the best eyeglass frame hues are black, rose-brown, blue-gray, plum, magenta, pink, jade, blue and demi-amber (darker) tortoise.
