(Source: Getty Images North America)When you imagine an ideal winter outfit, punchy melon shades are probably not the first colors you think of. However, this happy shade is making a splash on red carpets this season. Melon is definitely a hue that takes some fashion guts to rock, but it's also surprisingly flattering on a spectrum of skin tones.
Not as rich as orange or as intense as red, melon is a happy medium for those who can't bear to wear another dark winter color. Plus, melon pairs well with a range of other shades including camel, white, pale pink and aqua. We've seen the look on several celebs lately.
