According to The Daily Mail:
Dark yellow or mustard suits pale skin tones, while women with an olive complexion should go for lemon yellows, bold yellows, or even super bright yellow which will make their skin glow.
I think what they mean is that if you're Asian, yellow is going to look absurdly fantastic on you. So, by "know your skin tone" I mean "try to be Asian, maybe?"

If you failed on step one, you might want to try yellow pieces as accessories. A pair of yellow shoes or bracelet can add a great pop of color, especially to a neutral outfit. Everything pictured is an accessory, in case you are confused.
See how there's a touch of yellow in this girl's dress? That's why it's cool to wear the hat, even when she's wearing SO MANY OTHER COLORS.
It will be infinitely less overwhelming on paler skin tones than a full on yellow.
Look! See how terrific Anne Hathaway looks here? Well, don't tan that much, but again, the shade is going to look better if your skin is darker. I feel like I am saying this on every slide.

I really hope Anne Hathaway is wearing spray tan in the last picture, because if that’s a real “tan”, she’s in for some serious skin cancer.
Ok this is really dumb, but you have ONE slide with an Asian model and you immediately focused attention on her race, saying that she looks good in yellow simply because she is Asian? Don’t you people know that Asian skin comes in a variety of shades? We can have olive skin, pale yellow skin, pink skin, peachy skin… and that’s just East Asians, not including Indians and even Indonesians who are also Asian. Sheesh. Why don’t you just point out that since at the start of the slide, you have many pictures of Caucasians in yellow that in order to look good in yellow we have to be Caucasian?
So… be a tan Asian. Got it.
(BTW: pale people, consider chartreuse! I know that sounds crazy, but I’m pale with dark blond/ light brown hair and it’s the only yellow I can wear that doesn’t make me look like I’m in the last stages of liver disease.)
What happened to poor Anne Hathaway? Bless her heart, she looks like she was hit by a runaway Cheeto truck.
I know! I’ve been staring at that picture in shock. 1) because they called that color “tan”, 2) because the writer thinks she looks terrific. Yikes!
If you have the olive undertones, yellow is good. I’m very pale, but have the olive tones, and light yellow is my color.
