I also have very pale skin and about all I wear is pale pink -- it looks so good on me, and other colors always look too orange or dark, I figure why change? lol (Rosy colors especially look orange on me ... maybe I need to try something a little cooler...)
I'm not sure if this is "dramatic" for you, but I had my makeup done once by a professional mu artist (when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding), and he used this awesome lip gloss on me that was a light pink (not super-pale, but not dark either) that reflected peach when the light hit it. I loved it, but I don't remember the brand and so far I haven't found anything like it ... but that's probably because I'm cheap and normally only use drugstore brands
Anyways, I guess my point is that I like pink and peach, and rose doesn't work on me. I've also tried some brownish-pink and brownish-peach colors that claim to be "a great neutral color on almost every skin tone" and they always end up looking orange on me too.
