Azura’s Color Guide: Choosing Ethnicwear for Your Skin Tone

Color plays a powerful role in how an outfit makes you feel — and how it makes you look. At Azura by Raunika, we believe that the right color not only complements your skin tone but also elevates your mood and confidence. Whether you're dressing for a wedding, festival, or an intimate celebration, here’s how to choose the most flattering ethnicwear shades based on your skin tone.

Let’s make festive fashion personal, elegant, and radiant — just like you.


🌟 Why Color Matching Matters

  • Enhances your natural glow

  • Makes features stand out in photos

  • Elevates the overall elegance of your outfit

  • Helps you build a wardrobe that feels custom to you


🎨 Color Guide Based on Skin Tones


🔆 1. Fair to Light Skin Tones

Best Colors:

  • Rose pink, powder blue, lilac

  • Mint green, ivory, soft peach

  • Dusty lavender, pale gold

Avoid: Harsh neon tones or bright orange — they may overpower your undertones.


☀️ 2. Medium to Wheatish Skin Tones

Best Colors:

  • Sage green, teal, mustard

  • Coral, dusty rose, champagne gold

  • Deep pastels and jewel tones

Avoid: Ashy greys or very pale yellows that might dull your complexion.


🔥 3. Dusky to Deeper Skin Tones

Best Colors:

  • Wine, emerald green, burnt orange

  • Navy, maroon, deep ivory, cobalt

  • Rich neutrals like coffee or bronze

Avoid: Cool-toned neons and icy silver shades — they may clash with warm undertones.


💡 Tips to Elevate Any Color Choice

  • Pair with the right makeup: Nude base with color-matched blush or bold lips

  • Balance with contrast dupattas: If unsure, pair a neutral outfit with a bright dupatta or vice versa

  • Jewelry matters: Match warm tones with gold, cool tones with silver, and pastels with pearls


👗 Azura’s Color Philosophy

At Azura by Raunika:

  • We choose color palettes based on natural Indian undertones
