A new way to choose your eye shadow colour - by your star sign

Each day I receive a bunch of press release about beauty products. Most of them are fairly stock standard and I just use them to get an idea of what products are out there. However, one I received today really caught my eye as it is such a cool concept (though not scientific...which is what my blog is meant to be about..oh well!) - using your star sign to choose your eye shadow colour. I'd love to know whether you agree with the colour that has been chosen for your star sign:

Here are the swatches of the colours that have been suggested for each Zodiac star sign:




I am a Virgo, though right on the cusp of Libra. My suggested colour is Royal Blue (ELES colour - Indigo) and Libra's is Light Blue (ELES colour Bermuda). These are very much colours that I would wear - in fact they are probably my most worn colours in my collection!

How did the colour suggestions match up with your Zodiac star sign? Are they colours you wear or was it way off the mark for you?
