today I avoided curating away one of my failed purchases. I dared the dyeing experiment with my ultraviolet losange, using a bright red. I couldn't be happier with the result. What went with almost nothing in my wardrobe now goes with literally everything.

Matching colours with a failed purchased scarf is a challenge I like to try very often. For example my Psyche GM in grey ... It stayed in my drawer for weeks until I've decided to wear it...and it became one of my favourite!!
Thanks! I fell down this rabbit hole, but I'm still so confused. I have to play with some colours from my wardrobe and perhaps post some mod shots here, for advice from all you colour experts.
Wonderful transformation, you can be very proud of you!today I avoided curating away one of my failed purchases. I dared the dyeing experiment with my ultraviolet losange, using a bright red.

that's always the best idea. usually we intuitively know what feels right.
it's funny, I actually think that Hermès is doing a poor job in that regard with their modeling shots for their scarves. The model they use for most pics is clearly of a soft coloring and those soft colors look beautiful on her. but then they stick her in these bright scarves and it just doesn't do anything for her... here she is in warm and some bright colors. i feel like it makes her skin look a bit dull and orangey
while when you look at her in more cooler toned and softer scarves her skin looks like it's glowing and there is color harmony.
or maybe I'm imagining things lol. It probably is all for the better though because if they would be as good at scarf modeling as tpf ladies are, we'd all be enabled into bancruptcy
Yes, I find that second row are ‘my’ colours also, while the top row will all clash on me. Even though I feel I have a lot of yellow/beige skin tone, cold colours really make me pop as I have cool undertones. But I’ve been wearing a lot of warm colours too lately.

Maybe we should move this discussion to a new thread called "Hermes scarves and color analysis"? - I have no idea though how to do that - moderators, can you help?
well if you like wearing them don't stop! some warm colors are even universal (pure yellows, pure reds). I think what is more important (and what was my mistake with that losange) is the chroma, i.e. soft or bright. you can usually figure that out by looking at what's already in your wardrobe.
