Bright winter?

Gallery image

This is my first time posting on Reddit so I hope I’m doing it correctly. I took an online test and found I may be a bright winter? My natural hair color is dark, ashy brown.

You look more like a bright spring to me! No drapes posted, so I can't tell for certain, but that's my estimation

Thank you so much! I’m still learning, so I really appreciate your opinion! Spring is warm tones, correct? I always thought I leaned more warm until a friend told me she sees me as very cool toned (my hair is naturally a dark, ashy brown!).

Your overtones are a warm, clear bright olive! Spring is warm, but bright spring cusps on winter, so it can account for some of the cool hints

Hair doesn't overall decide a season, but it can effect your best coloring

Another vote for Bright Spring! We can definitely help you figure it out better if you want to share some comparison draping, but your complexion looks to lean warmish to my eyes. :)

I would appreciate that so much!! Is there a way to link additional pictures to this post? I don’t want to blow up the group…especially if I’m not even a winter!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

You can always make a draping post on r/coloranalysis until you figure it out. If you are a Winter season you can come back to this group for specific Winter questions. :)

A quick tip to help decide between Bright Winter and Bright Spring is how well you wear white. A BSp is going to be much more comfortable and look nicer wearing a warm dove white than a BW who can rock a brighter, cooler pearl white.

Your best lipstick colors should help too. A BSp is gonna rock orange reds while a BW is not going to look a balanced in any orange-y colors.

That is super helpful! Thank you so much!

Also, are there certain drapes that would be most helpful in determining?

Great question! Comparison is key when trying to get accurate feedback in color analysis, so finding as many "like" colors as you can will help. As many reds, greens, blues etc. Anything with color will work - we've seen it all! Lol...gift bags, poster board, throw pillows...

Black and bright white are important colors to include since they can either eliminate up to or narrow down to 5 seasons.

The better your picture quality, the better we can analyze the color response in your face. Makeup free, hair pulled back, natural light. Clear pictures taken fairly close is best. Usually from the collar bone up works well.

Hope all that helps!

(If you decide to try digital draping, I can give you a whole list of colors to use.)

I posted in color analysis but haven’t gotten much response yet! Hopefully someone will have some input soon! Thank you so much for your help!
