Why do some colours look better on Indian skin tones than others? Indian skin tones often have warm or neutral undertones, which respond better to certain colours that enhance natural warmth rather than washing it out. Is there one colour palette that suits all Indian skin tones? No single palette suits everyone, but earthy tones, jewel colours, and muted shades tend to work well across a wide range of Indian skin tones. Why do very pale or neon colours sometimes look harsh?
