Tan skinned people with colored contacts
Before I begin explaining my situation, here's my question: For tan-skinned people who wear colored contacts, what color do you have and why?
So to start with, I'm Vietnamese. So my skin is fairly tanned and I was thinking about getting contacts, but i'm not sure of what color. Honestly, i'm not satisfied with my natural color, (black/brown) and I want to get a color that stands out, but not to the point where I look creepy or scary in any way. I was thinking about getting a teal/light blue-ish color, but my mom said I might look scary since I have a darker skin tone, and it never occurred to me until then.
So what color should I get?
thanks in advance, i appreciate all the advice i could get.

Yeah, i think colored contacts on darker peeps looks good, iuno why it just does
Im in south miami, and here like 80% of everyone is latino (aka a bit darker), and when I gone to anime conventions TONS of people have colored contacts and it looks good
I think color contacts look better on tan/dark skinned people that light because it's not common. So I would suggest just getting any normal eye color ones that you think would look nice on you.
I honestly despise colored contacts. If I could remove them from the universe, I would do so immediately.

Getting tired of wearing glasses so I might switch to contacts though. I probably won't use colored ones though. Is there anyway I can try out colored ones before buying them?[/quote]
I have the same question.
also, if you don't mind, could you upload a picture?
I'm thinking about a light brown/hazel now.
@stratos not for me, but thanks.
I sometimes wear grey contacts. They move around my eye though so I look pretty derpy at times.
BROWN EYES FTWWW i've seen like asian and black girls wear color contacts and it looks stupid.
I have a Viet tanned skin friend and she has grey contacts. She looks really pretty with it.
