Your best color, and a Signature Scarf

All of these scarves, and scarves in FIFTY-ONE other colors, are available from Nordstrom
Back in the dark ages of the 80's, when I was in graduate school, I worked for a department store.  (very un-glamorous, I assure you).  This was back when department store inventories were NOT driven by individual "designer" boutiques; we had separate departments for suits, for sportswear, for formal wear etc.

For a while, I worked in the area which sold tee shirts, blouses, shirts and sweaters.  We carried at least a dozen styles at any point in time, depending on the season, and each style was available in a couple of dozen "cosmetic" colors.  In other words,  we always had tops available in every possible shade of coral, peach, plum, pink, berry, cherry, crimson, scarlet or whatever other lipstick-like color you could imagine.

And so, when someone had their colors "done", or if they just plain knew what their best lipstick and/or blush color was, they'd come to our department and match garments to be worn near their face to colors that they already KNEW were flattering to them - those of their preferred cosmetics.  It seems so obvious now...

For decades, I've not seen a store carry a wide range of colors in any item.  But right now, Nordstrom is carrying wool/cashmere wraps in 76 different colors.  Some of the colors have extraordinary names, and many of them are quite hard to distinguish one from the other.  

I think it's safe to say that if you buy a scarf that matches your favorite lipstick, you'll find that it looks good on you.  And these kinds of colors go with any neutral...
