this is my mom’s version of tactful:

“You know Dixie, I liked it when your hair was blonde…that was very flattering. For your skin tone, I mean. Blonde looks very good with your skin tone. The way you wore it all those years. I thought that looked very good on you.”

Translation from “Mom” to English: “Dixie, I hate the pink hair. What’s wrong with you? You’re forty years old and you’ve got pink hair? Are you nuts?”

Me? I just said, “Thanks, mom. That’s nice of you to say.”
