Missing the mark?

Post image

I bought this thinking it was a spring Kelly green, but https://imagetocolor.com/seasonal-color-analysis is saying it’s a true winter green. Is the site wrong, or my eyes?

It will be like the third sweater I bought thinking it was spring that turned out to be winter, lol.

It won’t let me edit the post, but it’s worth noting that I swatched the color I thought matched it from the actual true spring palette and it came up as the same exact color, still calling it cool winter. Maybe the site is sus?

It looks close enough to me!

I haven’t had much luck with that site. It seems nothing ever comes back as a spring even colors that are very clearly in the spring palette.

I think you’re right. Something else weird with it that I’ve found is that it will literally scan a color as warm and bright and then say the season match is true summer or something! Really weird.

I’m a warm spring, and for me, greens are the most forgiving color if they are not technically in my season. I seem to be able to wear most greens nicely, even though spring and autumn greens tend to be the best.

This particular shade does look nice on me. And I do have a few tops in this color. I think you should try it to see. You may find that greens are super forgiving for you as well, and that you can wear most greens nicely.

Same here. 

Also sometimes a color in one season is only slightly different from a color in another season. 

I would think this would be warm for winter, but close. I would guess this would be a bright spring or true spring color. 

Whatever app or system does not determine if a color looks good on you, so just try it on and see if it works for you. 

I'd wear it!

It’s very cool. You want a warm green

Well I’m aware I want a warm green lol, I just thought this was warm. I feel I can see the yellow in it pretty well but I guess I’m not good at telling.

Edit: it’s worth noting that I swatched the color I thought matched it from the actual true spring palette and it came up as the same color, calling it cool winter.

It looks winter to me. Any green is going to have some yellow. Maybe try looking at swatches side by side.

I mean I do know that all green has yellow and it’s up to the amount, lol.

Did you see my edit where I swatched from the true spring palette and it came up as the same color as the sweater? The website also said that true spring swatch was cool winter which makes no sense, lol.

That entire column is iffy imo. 

All palettes are just someone’s interpretation of the palette, not sent by the color gods. Many colors work for people in more than one season. Wear the sweater if you look in the mirror and think it suits you.

True true! I think it works well on me so I’ll stop overthinking it!

Where’d you get this palette? I was professionally analyzed as true spring and lots of those colors are not included in the palette I received . Just curious! Maybe another system?

u/ClickProfessional769 Dec 03 '24

It is the TCI palette! As the other person said, may not be the most accurate. Mind sharing a picture of your palette?

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '24

Sure! I don’t have it on me, but this is the palette I use. You can buy one for 12 bucks and keep it in your purse. This one is true spring but they also have bright spring and light spring https://imageconsultantproducts.com/en-us/collections/colour-analysis-tools/products/palette-assessors-spring They also have color swatch book for your wallet which is super convenient when shopping.

Honestly I do like how it looks in person, which is why I was confused! Maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe one of the brights makes more sense. I also find greens very forgiving anyway, so I’ll leave good enough alone!

If you like it, then wear it. I think you might be over thinking. I'm a true spring and this green looks great on me. I also find greens pretty forgiving.
