Now that spring has finally sprung, an array of colors fills the landscape and we fashionistas must stay in-tuned with spring's fresh shades. With assistance from colors of red roses to purple hibiscus, this season's wardrobe should mimic a lovely, vibrant garden. But don't grab your AMEX so quickly! First, you must decide which hue is right for you!

Jennifer Hudson on the cover of Vogue, adorns a deep- look at me damn-it red, which is gorgeous on her rich brown skin tone.

Shakira's hips don't lie in this tomato red dress, which brings out her natural red skin tone.

Akon (on the left) sports a vibrant blue hue, which helps to bring forth his distinctive features. Blue has indeed become the new black.

While thumping the campaign trail, presidential hopeful Barack Obama, consistently wears pale blue ties, which are ideal for his fair skin tone. Blue addicts are tranquil, gentle and trustworthy. You have my vote Mr. Obama!

Kim Kardashian knows how to make you look twice, especially in this purple dress. What's so great about purple is that is can be worn by almost every skin tone and still look vibrant.

Star Jones' darker complexion is also wonderful in this purple frock.

Beyonce Knowles' emerald green dress gives her brown sugar skin tone a vivacious, high heeled kick.

Tyra Banks's mint green two piece bathing suite is a vivid contrast to her fabulous tanned brown tone.

Yellow is another stand out and notice me color, but one must find the right shade in order for it to work. Gabrielle Union chooses a daffodil yellow to offset her brown skin.

While, Nicole Richie chooses a satin sun yellow to complement her fair skin tone.

Kim Porter's tangerine orange dress demands a second look and is in line with her dark honey complexion.

Fair? Yearn to wear orange? A chic choice for your skin tone is a cantaloupe orange, which will make your tawny tone POP!
