| 4. Are your eyes gray-blue?Sometimes it can be difficult to tell. When you wear a blue sweater they probably appear blue, but if you wear a gray one they probably look gray.

You can actually change the tone they appear by changing your clothes. Have fun using soft colors that don’t overpower your light shade and make use of highlight colors. |
