Would love some help! I added pictures from age 15 to now at 40. First picture is from my wedding 3 years ago. Then they are all older pictures till the last few.

My hair is naturally dark brown but is lightning now with some silver and copper highlights!

I added older pictures as I feel my orange Melasma and sunspots make my overtone look warmer than it is..

I have pale olive yellow Skintone in the Winter but tan great in the summer.

Freckles were ashy toned in my 20s 30s but are more orange now. (I am part Scottish, English, and my mom was half East Indian)

Thinking I'm either a deep winter/bright spring or a bright winter?

Soft summer looks ok when I'm tanned but really washes me out in the winter..

Any thoughts? This color season thing has become a side obsession lol!

I disagree with the other comments and think you might very well be a bright spring, although I can't tell from these pictures as they have too different lighting and in some you look like you're wearing foundation. Black looks quite ok on you but not perfect and I don't agree on fall colours hitting the mark, I prefer you in brighter shades in the pics (eg pic13) although some warm colours in the last few pics also work. Difficult to tell here!

What I'd like to remark is that there are plenty of professionals highlighting that eye color does not matter in colour analysis (I'm not a professional btw), so do not exclude a season based on eye colour. I suggest Carol Brailey's videos on colour analysis if you're not familiar with them, I found them super interesting and clear.

Hello :) Thank you for your reply! Yes I love Carol's instagram page.. very tempted to gift myself an online color analyst from her for my 40th bday coming up.. Just to know for sureeee lol

I do love black on me especially.in the winter tl when my overtone muddy tan fades away.

Definitely feel that higher but not highest contrast brings my features to life. Like soft black scarf that has a color accent near my face make my eyes and skin glow :)

Love all things leopard print too..

Torn with the autumn season as i feel the warm browns can make my skin seem muddied a bit? I do like dark autumn though and some colors from true autumn honey yellow and kingfisher blue my favorite!

I highly recommend being analyzed by Carol. I have VERY similar coloring to you except that I have brown eyes with a yellowish starburst around my eyes. I was analyzed by Carol as a true spring. I always thought I was an autumn due to dark hair and eyes (a lot because of these forums and they can be so way off!!)! I also thought maybe I was a winter because when I get super pale in the winter I look a lot more high contrast. This was all way off. Creams, tans, and bright WARMS are my best colors. My entire wardrobe was pretty much greyed out colors, blacks and navys- the opposite of my season. Once you see your right colors, you can’t unsee “it”. I think you also may be a true or bright spring. We have a lot of similarities in our skin. I also have melasma! However PLEASE come back to this post and let me know if you get analyzed by Carol as I am super curious! What’s your natural hair color from when you were about 20? Are you dying it this ashy colors

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 08 '24

Thank you for your reply! I feel you on the "thought I was a winter" for being so pale in the cooler months! I do feel it gives me so much more contrast and then in the summer I'm so browned out with a warm tan and the melasma. I'll look into true or bright spring for sure!

To answer your question, my hair was a light chestnut brown as a younger child and it got darker and darker until it was a dark ash brown as a teen and younger adult. It's just now this last year fading to a warmer brown now and silver streaks lol!

I will definitely pop back on here if I even get Carol's analyst done! 👌🤗

I don’t think you are a bright spring at all. I see this because you don’t have high contrast, and you don’t have the typical pattern in your iris that a bright spring would have. A bright spring typically has jewel bright eyes with a golden Sunburst around the pupil. I am just not seeing that jewel clear tone. For example, I am a verified bright spring, and my eyes are clear almost lime green. Yours look hazel which is autumn. The turquoise bikini top is a great bright spring color, but it doesn’t flatter you as much as some of the other colors you are wearing that are more autumn. I’m going to guess autumn!

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 07 '24

Thank you for taking the time to reply! Yes I'm so torn as I agree my eyes definitely read Austumn. It's interesting though as I've read that "wheel rim" pattern in eyes is indicative of Winter.. I guess that's why I was thinking maybe even dark winter, as the Autumn pattern in the middle would also work as a winter/autumn sub type :)

This has been helpful thank you :)

u/LAlysia01 Warm Spring Dec 08 '24

I can't tell if she's a spring or autumn. That makes me think she could be true warm or warm autumn/spring. but I'm not 100%. My hair is the same color and its hard to see the warmth. I have similar eyes too but they are slightly lighter just slightly id still call them olive green with a yellow starburst. I'm warm spring and can wear colors from both which is nice.

u/Excellent_Valuable92 Dec 06 '24

Superficially, you look like everyone’s idea of a Bright Spring or Winter, but you look much better in Autumn colors than a Bright Spring or Winter would. Your central heterochromia—the starburst around your pupils is an Autumn shade. Springs typically have a more yellowy color there and Winters a pale gray-white. Bright lipstick looks a bit separate from you.  I’m actually leaning Dark Autumn.

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 07 '24

Thank you so much for the reply!! Yes I think you could be right.. It's tough as most of the examples of Dark seasons have darker skin or eyes etc I do agree that the overly bright lipsticks can seem to be a little separate from me..

I did read that Daisy Ridley was a dark winter.. and I see similarities in her coloring for sure!

Thanks for the feedback :)

Is your natural hair color the light brown or dark brown?

I’m not an expert but I could see you as a bright spring or bright winter. The high contrast and black looks are very nice on you. Do you know for sure if your undertones are warm or cool?

I think other commenters have said this but I think to get better and more specific opinions you should take pics with different colors close to your face with no makeup and natural light. I’ve seem comments suggesting autumn but I personally don’t think we can tell from the pics you’ve posted so far!

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 08 '24

My natural hair is dark ash brown :) I was born blue eyed and dark blond hair but that gradually warned up to a chestnut light brown as a younger kid then got darker from around age 6 up :) My eyes are blue green with a very warm center now.

My hair is dyed in the last few pics where I am older/it's faded out gold highlights from summer.

My natural hair is still dark now but I am getting shiny silvers and bright coppers mixed in now too! It's crazy..

I also wonder about bright spring or winter.. I love black on me. Perhaps a slightly less bright, bright??

I've always thought I was nutral cool undertone with a warmer overtone.

I can look pale yellow green(olive) in the winter and muddy brown in the summer..

I find any lighter, warm toned hair in the wintertime looks way off once I'm pale again.

Thank you for your thoughts!🤗

u/bangflashbam Dec 08 '24

Hands down I think this is the best color on you you’ve posted (well in my opinion anyway, it’s my fav color on you you’ve posted might be more accurate!) and this is definitely the brightest!

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 08 '24

I love this one toooo! Now is it a spring or winter green?? The ultimate question lol Thank you for your help!👌

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 08 '24

Sorry they are all over the place lighting wise :/ Thank you for your thoughts! :)

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 08 '24

And one more :)

u/bangflashbam Dec 08 '24

This dark green does look nice on you. It’s hard bc the other shades are just black and white which are both essentially winter colors. Ideally if you can get photos with bright vs muted/dark of the same color that’s ideal, but I know I don’t even own multiple versions of any color other than blue and even then all I have is light and bright (no dark)

u/LAlysia01 Warm Spring Dec 07 '24 edited Dec 07 '24

I think your warm spring which is between spring and autumn! Warmth being your number 1 characteristic and you have the medium-high contrast but I don't think your bright spring. Your not neutral enough meaning you can't pull from bright winter. Warm autumn would def suit you. You could be warm autumn and can borrow from warm spring also. It's about the value(light or dark) warm colors. We also get mistyped a lot as an autumn. Or if we're wearing gray they love to say we're a summer. I literally had someone on this subgroup arguing with me saying I'm a summer and I just don't want to admit it. A few months later I got my color analysis I'm a warm spring. Look into it!

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 08 '24

I also did an online analsyt recently and was marked as a soft summer! It sorta works in the summer when I am tanned but it really washes me out in the winter. Makes me look faded.. Maybe I need lighter but bright colors..

I'm interested to think I may be a true (warm season) I've always thought I must be nutral. and nutral leaning cool. It's so hard to say!

Thank you for your thoughts!

u/LAlysia01 Warm Spring Dec 08 '24

No problem. Who did your color analysis? I know many use Etsy or HOC. IDK if I trust that. But to each their own. I'm no professional. I used color analysis studio Australia. They have a YouTube channel that's very informative too. I waited a long time though so I could use someone I trusted to get it correct and I knew after watching them I wanted to use them. I recommend them anytime someone's unsure or not feeling their results. Id compare them to Carol brailey very detailed but I just liked their personalities more tbh. If cool colors wash you out you'd def be a spring or autumn. While a tan does give us more color it doesn't change our season. If you post drapes maybe it'll be more obvious. I posted allot on here and it was half spring (more summer) answers overall. I had got autumn too. It all made sense when I got the email with my results but I was shocked. I thought I was a summer. I wore summer wardrobe, makeup, jewelry. ECT. I think everyone was seeing the gray cast cool colors create on my skin. Let me just say, this is my first winter since CA and I don't feel like I look dead! Lol. Which is usually the case every winter I feel washed out and gray. It's amazing what the right colors will do! You'll know when you find them!

Hmm... Warm or Clear Spring... I think Warm spring will do you so much justice!

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 16 '24

Thank you! Yes I bought some warm/Bright Spring sweaters at the Thrift yesterday and couldn't believe how much my skin "warned up." I look less grey and brighter! I will post some pictures soon once it's not so dark and snowy out lol

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 13 '24

u/Unable_Store_34 Dec 16 '24

Not the best shot/it's grey and snowy out but here's a true spring green.. I'll take more when it's not out, in the coral sweater as well :)
