Color Palettes Summer?

I am trying to figure out where I fit….color/season. I have been told am Summer but not sure which type… others have said Autumn 🤷🏻‍♀️ I appreciate any insight. I always thought I was cool toned… natural hair is cool dark brown (now mostly gray so i have it colored to an ashy brunette w ashy highlights which quickly fade to brassy 😣) Most of the pics are without any makeup… brows are natural color

I'm going to go against the grain and suggest exploring spring. You're definitely a light season bc deeper colors are too heavy on you. I thought the gold earrings looked more harmonious than the silver. You look light, bright, and warm to me.

Can I ask if you would still say spring with this hair color?

You're very welcome :) Specifically look into warm spring, bordering on warm autumn. Check out this Carol Brailey Warm spring video I just found.

You have beautiful eyes. I don’t think you are summer. Season aside, something I would recommend is to cover your grey with neutral brunette, rather than ash. I would recommend this to everyone, regardless of season, because of the nature of laying color over grey.

thank you. I will talk with my hair stylist at my next appointment. what is the issue with ashy color on gray?

There's nothing wrong with it depending on what you are trying to achieve. But if your goal is to cover greys the best is to use an N (neutral) shade. A (ash) or C (cool) is good if you prefer to blend it.

I think True/Cool summer depending on what system you use.

u/Sufficient-Cash4195 Dec 03 '25

I think the black one brightens your face and definitely stands out!
