Ladies,put down that LBD and boys, is that rainbow striped shirt really for you? (Theanswer is NO just in case you were wondering.)

Colour expert, Fiona Wellinsfrom Colour Me Beautiful claims wearing certain colours sends outcertain messages so make sure your message says "I'm the one for you" in bold,underlined, italics...possibly centred and highlighted.

Blueis thecolour that most conveys trust and order, it induces a sense of calm and willmake you appear peaceful and perceptive. However, wear blue too often and youmay appear over-sensitive, conservative and predictable.

Green,oftenassociated with nature and balance conveys calmness. You will appear to benurturing, dependable, and relaxed. However, beware that too much green canalso come across as predictable.

Pink is every woman's bestfriend, as it brings out her femininity and indicates empathy. A pale pink on blondesis better; you'll look sophisticated and elegant whereas shocking pink on abrunette will exude confidence. Boys, only a special few of you can use thiscolour to demonstrate your 'sensitive side,' but please... even if you are God'sgift to women, DON'T attempt to pull off fuchsia. Ever.

Yellowtops (on boys or girls) or accessories (for girls) on a first date will makeyou seem fun and lively, but wear too much and you could give the impression ofbeing overly impulsive or attention craving ... or that you like daffodils a biiittoo much.

Red isthe colour associated with love and passion and is sure to get pulses racing.It shows confidence and assertiveness, however, too much can appear aggressiveor arrogant. Boys need to be careful as too much red on you gets slightly intimidating.

Purpleshowsthat you are creative and in control and has a shade to suit every colouring,for both men and women. Go with deep purples for dark hair and pale violets forlight and soft blondes. A bit of purple is perfect for a first date, being madeof both blue (calm) and red (vibrant) it shows individuality without beingoverly bold.

White - pure,clean and fresh that's what a white shirt or dress says about you, futuristicand optimistic. Unless you're particularly immaculate however, it is a trickycolour to wear as it stains easily.

Black portraysa mysterious and sophisticated image and gives a bold impact. Though black doesmake some people look fabulous it makes the rest of us look like Morticia fromthe Adam's family so just be sure it really is your colour.
