Beige (3) - Pashmina colours



Beige - Beige 252 is a grey-based shade that tones with taupes, blacks and pale colours. It also has a hint of pink and can work effectively with stronger colours such as royal purple.

Camel 109 - a warm tone that is easy to wear.

Beige (1) - Pashmina colour swatch





















Onwards and upwards with the neutral colour palette; less vibrant than our reds and pinks but still with variations that excite the passions of the faithful. Whether you are looking for a neutral tone to suit blonde or brunette, here are some options aside from our classic Café au Lait.


Both these colours have pink tones in the beige and would suit blondes or those without an olive skin tone. Top: Pale Beige 133 is a champagne that tones well with other beige and brown shades. Bottom: Fawn 249 is a strong nude beige.

Red (3) - Pashmina colour swatch



A colour that I'm hoping to order for Autumn 2011 is Burgundy 27. A truly scrumptious berry red - with a hint of pink in its dark, rich depths.

Pink (2) - Pashmina colour swatch



And then there's Plum. Some come with a purple tone but this particular one is pink based and so appears as Pink - Plum in the drop down list. Plum 47D

Pink (1) - Pashmina colour swatch

















Pink is one of the perenially popular pashmina colours and there is a shade for every mood. Our classic shades cover the pink spectrum: Fuchsia, Raspberry, Candy and Pale Pink. But then there are the in-between shades...



Rose Pink sits between Pale and Candy. It is a pink with blue tones but without the brashness of candy.


Coral has more orange tones. Both reflect a warm glow onto the face and are more forgiving than either the pale pink shades, which can be draining, or the candy and fuchsia shades that can be too bold.
