Ivory skin tone - undertone, depth, season and best colours

What ivory skin looks like

On a swatch it sits around #F7E2CF. Depth (very fair) is how light or deep the skin is; undertone (warm (golden/peach-leaning)) is the colour cast underneath, which does not change with a tan. Two people can share the depth and differ in undertone - that is why the same shade name from two brands can look different on them.

How to confirm it

• Look at the veins on the inner wrist in daylight: blue/purple leans cool, green leans warm, hard to tell leans neutral.
• Silver vs gold jewellery: silver flatters cool, gold flatters warm; both work on neutral.
• Pure white vs off-white next to the face: white flatters cool, cream flatters warm.

Not sure which one you are? The free Skin Tone Finder on this page samples your skin from a selfie in your browser (nothing is uploaded) and names your tone, undertone, depth and colour season.
