emotions.
We are fascinated by beautiful colours - for example flowers, plants, birds and the fishes in the sea - in the same way, we are attracted by colourful clothes - a colourful floral print dress, a bright green sweater or a red patterned tie. Some colours bring out the best skin in your skin tone, it make you look fresh and fabulous, hence it also light up your personality.
