We tend to think only certain colours suit us. But that isn't strictly true. It is the shade of colour that you need to think about.
It depends so much on your skin tone. I generally find the brighter jewel colours suit me best. You might find a more pastel shade of something looks better on you. Or a warmer or cooler tone.
The best way to find the shades that suit you is to try it against your skin and see. If your skin looks more luminous you have probably found the right shade. If you look washed out then keep looking.
For example camel is a shade I find hard to wear. A lot of camel tones can make me look ill. But after much searching I have found a few pieces like this stunning Mango coat in a camel shade that suits me.
If there is a shade you love that doesn't suit you then one trick it to not wear it against your face. So get that shade in trousers or a skirt rather than a top. That won't wash you out then.
So try on lots of colour shades until you find the shade you love.
