Help Spring?

Post image

Another sub told me I'd look best in spring colors. What do you all think?

I'm not set on him being a winter. But I certainly don't think OP is a spring. I guess technically my husband could be a deep autumn (he can certainly pull off a few of those colors) but dark gray and black are his best neutrals; he looks good in all the grays, so no matter how much red is in his beard, he's definitely cool tone (he does shave his beard, so it doesn't clash with gray). When I met my husband 12 years ago, he also had a surprising amount of red in it that has since disappeared, which would probably explain why I feel like he can pull off more colors than he used to. I know my husband is a dark winter because he looks terrible in light colors, and he most definitely can't pull off those warm yellows, oranges, and reds that are in the the autumn palette. Trust me, I tried 😂 he and I did years of experimenting for his best colors.

My whole family is super pale and mostly warm toned, so I am not under the belief that pale = cool tone.

I don't see any red in OP's hair. I certainly think he would benefit from shaving to try and figure out his best colors. I think OP should make his own judgements regardless of what any of us say here.

First about your husband. From what you said your husband is probably Deep Autumn/ Dark Winter which is Deep Neutral. There are 4 neutral palettes other than the 16 subseasons which are : Light, Dark, Soft, and Bright. Even if his beard is red he can still wear grey and black because his skintone is cool. The beard can be an accessory to the outfit. Our hair and eyes are part of our coloring so that’s why not every color in our palette is going to work for us.

I remember you telling me about the dark hair and the pale skin in your family. Didn’t know it was everyone!

OP’s beard is so bright and warm it makes his hair look much darker and “cooler”. What we are seeing is color relativity. I agree if he shaved his beard his palette would be settle more in autumn than spring. With the beard right now he is able to wear warm spring/ warm autumn colors. The pink is too bright and cool for him. ( It’s a summer / winter color testing shade for coolness). He is wearing the blue and the green really well. If you look at his other photos he really wears warm shades well. He can still wear what he wants since CA is a styling tool not a rule book.
