#DARK AUTUMN VS TRUE AUTUMN SKIN TONE FULL#

Taking another approach, I tried the site, which promised to let me color analyze myself 'like a PRO,' but after an hour of analyzing dozens of photos of myself, I was still lost.

So I ended up choosing winter colors, like emerald and black. The first question asked of me was which 'colors you get the most compliments on when you wear them.' But this was tricky: How could I be complimented on colors I never wear? Obviously, I'd mostly be complimented on wearing black if I usually wear black. I also don't think it would be useful for people of color to only see examples of white women. But my results were inconclusive and I wasn't sure about the methodology. In another attempt to find my season, I turned to the test on Jackson's site. The quiz based on Jackson's book only showed examples of white women - not very helpful to people of color. Don’t be afraid to experiment with slightly darker shades than what is in your palette, but avoid warm toned shades.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. Pastel or light colored shades are not flattering on cool season types, rather a medium tone of the colors in your season are most appropriate to contrast and complement your undertones. Cool seasons will have a cool or bluish undertone to their hair, skin, and eyes. Hair: Ashy blonde, Ashy light or dark brown, or Black with blue undertonesĬool seasons (Summer or Winter) do not depend on contrast or lack of contrast between skin/hair/and eye color, rather it is the overall undertone of these three things. If you are a Cool Winter, you most likely have the following characteristics: Then, choose colors for your clothing that have the same undertone. If you take nothing else from this, you will want to determine if your skin, hair, and eyes have a neutral, warm, or cool undertone. Finding your season is just a starting point to help you figure out the color palette you may want for your wardrobe. Of course, you can always experiment outside of your season, as well! For example, my season does not have black or gray in, but I find if I wear blacks that don’t have blue undertones and warmer grays, that it is flattering. You are probably safe wearing any color in your season, but if you want the most flattering option, try to stick to your subtype. Each season is then broken down into a subtype like cool or soft or deep, which just tells you how vivid or muted the colors are in this season you should wear. Seasons are used because we already associate certain colors with each season, like white snow in the winter, rich red leaves in the fall, kelly green grass in the summer, or pastel pink flowers in the spring. The colors in your season will complement your features best, and you probably already reach for some of these colors! Then, depending on how light or dark each of those things are, it puts you into a “season”: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. Seasonal Color Analysis takes the coloring and undertones of three things into account: It’s what looks good on and complements my skintone and hair.

It isn’t just preference, because my house is full of bright colors. I like red, but only particularly shades. I like pink and bright yellow, just not on me. I ended up with a rainbow of a closet, but I only reached for things in certain colors.

Before I started to care about my style, I just wore and bought whatever struck my fancy. “What the heck is a seasonal color analysis and why should I care?” - what you’re probably thinking.
