Mahogany for Neutral Skin Tone.

Mahogany is a direct match for neutral skin: it leans warm and neutral, so it harmonizes instead of fighting your complexion. At level 4, Mahogany sits in the versatile middle, so undertone does most of the talking.

Practical check: if you can wear both gold and silver — this shade should settle in immediately. Confirm on your own photo before booking.
