One can have a high ability to assess but low standards in what one accepts.
**************************************************************
I thought the question explored whether or not ability regarding color assessment, went hand in hand with an 'eye' for beauty. I used Elizabeth Taylor as an example, because I've heard and read since I was a child, that this woman was the 'world's most beautiful.' I never thought she was particularly pretty. So I figured maybe even though I scored well on the color test . . . I still might be off base, regarding standards of physical beauty. btw: many women I know, think Liz was a great beauty. I've known very few men who agree.

"Many women I know, consider ET to be an astounding beauty. I've asked many men whether or not they agree. The overwhelming majority of those I asked, either shrugged their shoulders, or said 'no.'"
Ivan, I totally agree with that statement you made. Many of my male friends,including myself,never found Elizabeth Taylor to be such a beauty. So many women seem to rant and rave about her and we just don't get why. Honestly, what was all the fuss about her? She was never a naturally drop dead gorgeous beauty!

if you look at her hard enough, Elizabeth Taylor isn't as beautiful as she's been made out to be. Her nose isn't perfect, and she needs to be photographed at three-quarter profile. And her eyes aren't really violet. Personally, for beauty I prefer Silvana Mangano.

So True. I've known very few men who agree that Liz was a great beauty, I being one of them.

Same here...I've never thought Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful... I never thought she was particularly pretty myself...never have...never will. And she never had violet eyes. There is no such thing as violet eyes. It was just the contrast of the light in the pictures they took of her that made them appear that way. In closeups she has plain blue eyes just like any other blue-eyed person. You are so right,people,all this hype and hoopla about her... geez!!!

Elizabeth Taylor wasn't even that beautiful. Her only extremely beautiful feature is her eyes, they are gorgeous but she has a long face, she always had a double chin, a huge forehead, everything else was insipid. And the horrible clothes, yuck.

an oval shaped face which is the prettiest shape to have,shape face is important too. Elizabeth Taylor did NOT have a round oval pretty face.I never liked her heart shaped face because of the slightly pointed chin instead of a more pretty rounded one. So she NEVER had the most beautiful face.

That's true. As I say many women I know, consider Elizabeth Taylor to be an astounding beauty. I've asked many men whether or not they agree. The overwhelming majority of those I asked, either shrugged their shoulders, or said 'no.'

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! To me, Jodie Foster is a rodent, on two legs. But then I've never found Elizabeth Taylor to be beautiful, either.

I also loathe Chaplin and never found Liz Taylor particularly attractive. But I digress.

I understand why Liz Taylor is considered beautiful, but I don't find her beautiful myself.

well because she isn't. It's all about the eyes and the black hair, it kinda mystifies people.

Agreed. As I mentioned I never found Elizabeth Taylor to be particularly beautiful or pretty. I think it was the supposed violet eye color that caused all the hype and hoopla about her.

I've never thought Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful. Nor have her eyes ever looked violet, to me.

I never found Elizabeth Taylor
very attractive, even in her younger years. In fact, I always thought she looked a little frumpy.
