How to Choose the Right Saree Colour for Your Skin Tone

How to Choose the Right Saree Colour for Your Skin Tone

Choosing a saree colour is partly about undertone, but lighting, fabric, makeup and personal preference also influence how a colour appears.

Instead of following strict rules, use colour families as a starting point.

Warm Undertones

Warm undertones often pair well with colours such as:

• Mustard
• Rust
• Coral
• Warm red
• Olive
• Golden beige

Cool Undertones

Cool undertones can work beautifully with:

• Sapphire blue
• Emerald
• Plum
• Rose
• Berry
• Cool pink

Neutral Undertones

Neutral undertones provide flexibility across both warm and cool colour families.

Metallic Sarees

Gold and silver effects can look dramatically different under different lighting.

Always consider where you will wear the saree.

A metallic saree for an evening reception may appear completely different from the same saree in daylight.

Most Important Rule

There is no universal list of colours that every person with a particular skin tone must wear.

If you love a colour and feel comfortable wearing it, that matters more than a fashion formula.
