What Are Jewel Tones and Why They Look Amazing on Everyone (Especially on Camera)

Sep 10, 2024 | By: Tracy Allard

Have you ever heard the term "jewel tones" and wondered what it means? Simply put, jewel tones are colors inspired by precious gemstones. Think of rich, vibrant hues like emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, and amethyst purple. These colors exude a luxurious, sophisticated vibe, just like the jewels they're named after.

Jewel Tones For Stunning Corporate Headshots

So, why are jewel tones such a great choice for every complexion? The beauty of these colors lies in their deep, rich pigments. Jewel tones work their magic by enhancing and complementing all skin tones, whether you're fair, medium, or dark. For lighter complexions, jewel tones create a beautiful contrast that brings warmth to the skin. On deeper skin tones, these colors make a striking statement, enhancing natural undertones for a radiant effect.

Jewel Tones are a Gem for Great Looking Family Portraits

One of the best things about jewel tones is how they look on camera. Whether you're prepping for a family portrait, a professional headshot, or a casual snapshot, these colors have a way of making you pop. The intensity of jewel tones is camera-friendly, creating a vibrant, polished look that draws attention to the subject without being overly bold or distracting. They balance perfectly with natural lighting and studio setups, adding depth and richness to your photos.

Jewel Tones Bring Out the Best in Your High School Senior

Plus, jewel tones have a timeless appeal. These colors aren’t trendy in the short-term sense; they’re classic. They’ll never go out of style, making them the perfect choice for photos that you want to treasure for years to come.

So next time you're planning your wardrobe for a photo session, consider adding some jewel tones to the mix. You'll love how they look—and how you feel wearing them!
