Is Watermelon at Your Disposal?

Wednesday is women/style day on invisible blog.

I was trying to find a subject to blog about for style today and I ran across an article on Men’s Flair about choosing a color palette. Usually, these type of articles don’t address black men at all. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the writer, Winston Chesterfield, decided to address us under the category “exotic.” Winston’s advice started out OK:
“[i]t is wise to choose colours like white, bright blue, greys and red over browns, blacks and navy as the contrast is magnificent and much more appealing than wearing colours of the same palette as your skin tone.”
So far so good, but then Winston said this:
The fact that you are most likely to possess dark eyes means you can experiment wildly in terms of colour; watermelon, imperial purple and the like are all at your disposal.
I don’t have a particular opinion on this. Seems harmless. Winston’s from London so he probably doesn’t know any better. I don’t think I will be buying anything the color of “watermelon” though. Comments?
