Color and texture combination guides (that are also inclusive of dark skin tones)?
Basically the title. I'd like to find out the best matches in my current wardrobe.

Generally most of these prescriptive guides are pretty shit and I would avoid them.
What works and does not work is incredibly situational, vibes based and dependent on what aesthetic you are going for.
Sometimes high contrast is good, sometimes its jaunty. Sometimes tone in tone is fun, sometimes its too matchy.
Can really only be solved by putting stuff on in person and developing a sense of what looks good to you.
Prescriptive guides will just hold you back from developing your own judgement.
I would suggest looking at #waywt and #inspiration to look how ppl utilize colour and texture. Try posting concrete fits of yourself and ask for feedback.
If you post pictures I will tell you what I think looks cool
Olive, khaki and earthy tones go well with us brown and black people
i mean lots of colors and textures go well with brown people, by which i mean "i wear lots of colors and textures"
skin-tone based color theory is ultimately limiting imo, as the way people perceive colors and textures is more complex than the scope of those sorts of guides
post pics of your current wardrobe, that would help
if you're looking to improve it would help to get inspiration - check #waywt (if you're looking for specific users, me (zeometer), Meaty, and KANB are good starts) or #inspiration or instagram
