low contrast matters because the right undertone can still look wrong when the light-dark balance is off.
- •Dove grey and soft white form your serene base
- •Powder blue and pastel rose create a romantic layered look
- •Lavender is your most versatile accent—it works with every neutral you own
Temperature boundary
Colors that lean too warm or ignore light and muted color quality can pull the undertone read in the wrong direction.
- •dark heavy blacks
- •vivid neons
- •deep saturated jewel tones
- •warm earth tones
