    Universal Colors vs. Neutrals: What's the Difference?

    Are neutrals and universal colors the same thing? Not quite! In this episode of Midlife Moxy, Jen and Gail dive into two of the most misunderstood terms in color and style.

You'll hear: What "neutral" really means in both skin tone and wardrobe basics. Why some neutrals can actually make you look dull or washed out. Which colors truly qualify as "universal" (hello teal and coral 👋). The truth about brown—why it's trending again and how to find the version that works for you. How to use neutrals and universals to save money, build a versatile wardrobe, and always look pulled together.
