"I have a red shirt." He glances at her sideways. "I just don't wear it very often." He blinks a couple of times, though, at her comment about him wearing orange.
"I would?" All he can think is that it would make him look like a pumpkin. Or worse, a scary jack-o-lantern that people would take one look at and run away screaming, maybe.
That's news to her and now she's going to make it a point to try and see it. But, that's for later.
"Yes, you would. Colors would look good on you. I will be nice and not make you try on anything neon but purple? Green? Light blue? You would look very nice in all of those. Maybe I'll get you a crop top."
Bucky can't help the face he makes at that question. There are reasons he works to keep his body covered as much as possible most of the time. Shuri had worked a bit on some of the scarring around his shoulder, but after everything, there wasn't really a way to make it look much better. It wasn't a pretty sight by any means.
The rest he's...maybe a bit oblivious about. At least a little.
He used to be proud of his body, when he was younger. Before HYDRA had mangled him. He glances at her sideways, remaining silent and then pressing his lips together, shrugging. He was no Steve Rogers, that was for sure. Or Sam. Or John.

"But, do you not want to have some color in your wardrobe? Maybe some red or yellow or orange? You would look very nice in orange."

She tries to slip that last bit in there.

At which point, he squints. "Highly doubt that anyone wants to see that much of me, Yelena." His voice is wry.

"Do you not know how you look?"

"Well, I am here to tell you that you are attractive. I can see that. Anyone with eyes can see that, Bucky."
