Nude lipsticks

Nude lipsticks are muted, low-chroma shades close to the natural colour of lips or skin, from pale beige and pink-beige to caramel and rose. A cool nude reads rosy or pinkish, a warm nude reads peachy, golden or caramel, and a neutral nude sits in between. How a nude reads depends mostly on its lightness compared with the skin around it.

145 shades in this family, grouped by undertone. Nudes sit at hue angles of about 15° to 85°, with chroma below 30 and lightness (L*) of 45 or more.
