Temperature effect

White, Cream Yellow, and baby purple combine warm, cool and temperature-neutral colours. White connects both temperature sides. If you are a cool colour type, wear baby purple near your face – as a top, scarf or jacket; if you are a warm colour type, wear Cream Yellow there. The other temperature works lower in the outfit or as shoes, a belt or a bag.
