Those sound very nice. I agree, not that I have to look at anyone, but wearing something that stands out too much spoils the look. My point is always, there are colors that look great on one person, but horrible on another. Best to figure out which is which and go with those... When I was growing up, I had to wear lots of bright orange or bright yellow because... well parents. When I wear those colors, that is all people see! I learned that pastel colors or summer colors work much better for me. Other people might look bland in those colors.
