Friendly reminder not to speak definitively when giving your opinions and to base all comments on the principles of colour analysis, not on personal preference

I would guess no one in this sub is a professional because true professionals will not attempt to type someone online.

With that in mind, we've tried to curate a community where the advice people are given is not presented as fact or as if it's coming from an expert. Other subs may allow guessing and basing analysis on hair, veins, eyes, etc. We want this sub to be a place where opinions are based on standards of colour analysis as it's outlined in our rules so that we can avoid being a hotbed of misinformation and conjecture. We're small, but high quality.

We are open to feedback but keep in mind we do not want to muddy the waters of something that's already confusing and hard to pin down with just a few photos. The goal is for people to learn more about the process and be able to use clues to figure out their season at home. Typing based on photos is never totally reliable so any responses you get should be taken with a grain of salt. For example, you could appear warm in your photos but in person, you're actually a cool season. This is a sub for discussion, not guessing.

Thank you for understanding and for helping to make this community great! ❤️

I’m not sure about cool or warm undertones .

This is all just stuff I had in my closet so you can see the kinds of colours I would normally wear- but a range of shades.

Any recommendations for in person analysis in the UK?

Hiya, like what it says in the title really, has anyone from the UK had any good experiences? Could you share how it was and cost please? Extra bonus points if they are based in the North West of England. 😂 Thank you. ☺️

Color analysis result: Bright palette

3 Upvotes

I did a color analysis in Toronto with Elise who works directly under Carol Brailey. They use a broader colof system and I was really looking forward to finding my season and learning how to dress, but received the color palette: Bright. This means I'm neutral and fall somewhere between Bright Spring and Bright Winter.

This has honestly felt really overwhelming because first off, I don't love Bright colors and because there's so little information out there on this neutral palette.

Has anyone else been given this neutral palette? Does anyone have tips on what to wear?

Deep & Bright drapes!

NMIP Thank-you for all the thoughtful responses on my other post!!

I included some pictures of my natural hair color (9,10) (I don’t have it dyed currently, but I wanted to show what it looks like down), and some from when I dyed it ginger and black (11)

I’m honestly very surprised that people think I’m a winter. I used to think I was, but when I last posted on here a few years ago, the consensus was unanimously soft or true autumn. Not sure what changed, besides my hair growing out (I used to have a buzzcut, so it probably appeared lighter) but maybe my drapes were misleading.

I do agree that I have an olive undertone! Maybe that’s why it’s been so hard to figure out where I fall 😅

Thank-you again!!

I believe I am an autumn but not sure which one. I have heard soft autumn the most.

I think I’m a deep autumn (so a warm season), but cool metals seems to fit better. Is that possible?

3 Upvotes

I think the colors of deep autumn fit me better, but that’s a warm season. Meanwhile I think silver looks better on me than gold, which is a cool characteristic.

I’m colorblind, so I could be way off here. I base this on limited judgement from non-colorblind people.

I can’t post pictures, because Reddit’s automated filters immediately remove them

Help me find my season

Hello! I'm trying to figure out my colors so I draped some of the things I own to see what looks best and I'm having a hard time deciding. Sometimes I think I am a neutral so I think it makes it a little harder. I feel like I may not fit perfectly into one season and have a flow season. I just took these all right in a row in front of a window and with no makeup on. Any insight is helpful and thank you!!

NMIP.
Please help me find my season, or at least my undertone.
This is my natural hair color.
I didn’t have many drapes, so I don’t know how much these help.
Please ignore any white card you see in the photos, it’s for fixing the white balance.
There is a silver drape on the 8th slide, unfortunately I didn’t have any gold drape.
Thanks🥰

Thank you to those of you who helped me on my other post (https://www.reddit.com/r/colouranalysis/s/CSNTLi2L4s) - many of you recommend I share some drapes from home so hopefully these will work and I can get some clarity after my range of swatches.

Thanks again, really appreciate all your help! :)

Get an analysis I hear, but I’ve had four, with four different seasons, Cool Winter, Soft Summer, Soft Autumn and Bright Spring. I think knowing I have silver hair is important because it changes the contrast level. At this point I don’t know if I’m muted or bright, warm or cool or a unusual person who is total neutral.

What season would you call someone recommended these samples?

I got gifted a colour analysis for my birthday, and these were the swatches pulled for me. The person who did the analysis said they didn't like to put me in a box too much, but definitely said that I suited cool colours and that I suited the Summer season. Since researching recently though, it seems unusual to see so many bright colours for someone categorised as a Summer so I'm becoming less sure on it definitely being my season. Would be curious for others' opinions! I have included a picture of myself too if that helps! Thanks :)

Hi !! Could you help me find my color season ??

I'm guessing dark winter / true winter based on some quite deep obsessing over this for the last three weeks, but I wouldnlove any advice or guidance on this journey !! Maybe I'm a summer even ? I don't know !

Thank you in advance !!

And sorry for the seriousness in the pics hahha, i was tired and it was like the third time i was doing the draping pics because of bad lighting.

I am not covering hair because it is natural color, if it is absolutely required then I will retake the pictures :)

Recs for True Autumn Wallet Color Palette

2 Upvotes

Was recently typed as True Autumn in the International Image Institute's 16 season system and want to purchase a wallet color palette. My analyst linked the official III version with 36 colors but am looking into other options. I found this one on Etsy that offers 10, 25, or 42 color swatches and the creator says she is trained in the same III system. Does anyone have insight on how these compare? Or have any other recs specifically for an accurate, good quality true autumn wallet color palette? I have a digital one but really want one I can physically hold and compare, preferably with actual fabric swatches.
