French term or phrase: donner bon teint

Bonjour,

Je recherche la traduction en anglais du terme ci-dessus, mais ne s'appliquant pas à une personne, à des vêtements - j'ai déjà trouvé une traduction mais j'attends d'autres propositions pour voir si je peux trouver mieux - voici le contexte:

'couleurs: un parti pris de netures naturels qui donnent bon teint aux matières.....'.

merci
