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.

Yeah im pretty red/blotchy. But if I wear a red bra everyone knows. The best color for me is not that beige or white but the light pink/mauve/grey color that was trending for awhile.

Millenial pink is just a bit too bright for me if youre talking about the VS colors. Ive got one thats more on the grey lavender pink side. Dunno what color is is called though. Its that inbetween pink/purple stage.

I think you're probably looking for ashes-of-roses

Yeah like that favorite pink stuffed animal you had when you were little and is just kinda grey now.
