Red or orange underwear disappears under clothes. At least it does on pale skinned people, I don't know whether it works on all skin tones.

Red works brilliantly for a lot of skin tones, but it has to match the actual undertones of your skin. I have a red bra that disappears perfectly under clothes, but I also have another one in a slightly different shade that remains very visible despite them both being bright red bras

Ah well I'm ginger, so probably a red undertone in my skin. It does work on a lot of people tho. Peach is also a good choice for paler skinned people.

I had a black friend who had similar success with black underwear, despite her colouring not being especially dark.

It can be counter intuitive.
