Sickly-looking neutrals for cool blondes

Ash and platinum blondes can look pallid (as in dead, probably not what you're going for) when wearing clothing colors with a yellow undertone, like ivory. Camel and gold can also create a sickly look when worn by pale blondes. Diane Kruger's only sign of life in this photo is her lipstick, that dress is doing nothing for her.
