Does vein color help find your undertones?

I challenge the theory that the color of your veins can determine your undertones. In my opinion, this theory is not accurate as I have warm undertones despite having blue veins. Please do not put too much weight into the vein concept and instead look at other factors such as your eyes, skin, and hair to determine your color type.

Your vein color, in my opinion, does not really help you very much trying to learn your color type and your undertones. I've heard this theory before. If you have blue veins, you have cool undertones, and if you have green veins or blue-green veins, you have warm undertones. But I have yet to really see that truly be accurate.

In my case, I have warm undertones. You can see that I'm wearing this peachy sweater, blonde hair, green eyes, warm skin. I have warm undertones. And if I look at my veins, they look blue. That doesn't really tell me much of anything, so in my opinion, don't put a lot of weight into the vein concept.

Really look at yourself. Your eyes, your skin, and your hair. Go through the steps in the color analysis quiz, and that should help figure out what colors flatter you best, and most importantly, to learn what colors to avoid that drain you or overpower you.
