I'm also a redhead like JJ, except m red is quite light. I can, and do, wear deep pinks and have always been told it's "my" color...I know that might be surprising. I also did something a couple of months ago which shocked even myself! I wore a YELLOW t-shirt and agonized that I'd look washed up. My husband loved the color on me as he's never seen me wear it. To my surprise, several other people commented, too. So I guess I didn't know all I could about what colors I can get away with. I was always afraid of looking washed out. I wear pretty much whatever I want but agree that deep blues and purples look nice....except my fuchia pink, which I love!
