Snow White

If you're practical and organized, chances are you're drawn to cool-based snow white, while warmer tones like cream, oatmeal and faun appeal to those seeking harmony and security. Romantics tend to love mother of pearl and champagne shades which add a touch of glamour, but still with an underlying sense of order and harmony.
