Need help with color choice of dress!

'm really in love with this dress...but i'm debating what color to get it in. It's for my brothers wedding. My first choice is Black, but I also like Lapis, Marine, Mercury and Wisteria. I have fair skin, medium brown hair, and a size 14. Not sure if the lighter colors will show all my imperfections.

    I voted lapis because that (aubergine-ish) was the color of my bridesmaid dresses and we had 3 very different bodies and complexions for my sisters and they all looked fantastic in that color. Plus it was dark enough to hide imperfections (as my plus sized 6 months post partum sister would have told you!)

    Thanks @calikat80. My first choice was black...but it's a spring wedding. I know black looks great on everybody...but I feel like it needs to be another color. It's too depressing. I think Lapis will look great against the teal dresses of the bridesmaids (and my daughters dress)

    I actually like Wisteria the best, but I totally get what you were saying about the imperfections showing in lighter colors because they do for me.  So I voted for Marine.

    It depends on how dressy the wedding is and where it is.  If it's not very dressy, don't do black, especially for a spring wedding, and especially if the wedding is outside.  I like marine the best.

    I do like those colors, however, the peacock is too close to the bridesmaids color, and I don't want to be too matchy-matchy. And, I'm really not the one to wear bright, agressive colors. I like more jewel tones and pastels.
