Why Deep Skin Tones Have a Natural Advantage in Colour Blocking
Deep melanin-rich skin has a warm, saturated undertone that makes bold colour combinations land with more visual weight than they do on lighter tones. Where a pale complexion can get washed out by two competing brights, deep skin holds both colours steady. The contrast reads cleanly. This is not a consolation, it is a structural advantage. The goal is to use it deliberately rather than defaulting to black, navy, or "safe" neutrals out of habit.
