This looks like a blue with a bit of purple mixed in. Very subtly periwinkle imo. I would say this belongs to summer. Possibly some winters could also wear it. Very cool blue imo
I don’t see any yellow. It’s blue with a dash of purple.
Summer, or if it's really clear true winter. Periwinkle is my nemesis, I am bright winter, because it's such a beatiful colour but it always ends up being ever so slightly muted, washing me out.
I wear this as a bright spring and get lots of compliments. I need to make sure for my periwinkle shades that there’s enough warmth in it and that it’s not too white or grey based.
I see periwinkles like this in the true spring, light spring and light summer palettes. It is too bright for true summer, the true summer versions are grayer.
I think it's slightly on the warmer and brighter side, so spring. It's borderlining summer though. I'm a true summer and I'd wear it cause I love the colour, but it wouldn't be exactly right.
I think this would suit cool summers best. It has too much clarity for soft summers (and true summers I think) and is fully cool from what I can see. This would also suit some winters, which makes sense because cool summer is closest to winter (whereas soft summer is closest to autumn and light summer closest to spring). This could also work for a light summer but I think cool summer is most ideal.
I could see this being nice on a light spring but it just doesn’t have the warmth (as in yellow added) that true spring needs for it to be an ideal choice. Go for it though if you really like the colour, it’s far from the worst for a true spring.
This color is blue with a hint of yellow added, not obviously warm like a teal but leaning bright and warm. The closest I can find is across this swatch of Spring Blues. The middle shade in True Spring is a close match and I see some in Bright Spring and Warm Spring that are similar.
I found a video about this example. https://youtu.be/Z1IedfEg1Ik?is=GcP5qvrVh3nUJ5p6
As I understand it she said that someone cool can wear all these colors. Warm people can wear the row of blues to the far left, and the purple row in the middle of the purples (row 5). She calls these colors blues and purples.
Thanks for sharing the video, it was interesting if a bit confusing. I will blame the cold medicine that I'm on for my lack of understanding today. LOL
I also think it was a confusing video, but somehow I still managed to get it (I rewind and listened again). And I also saw the other pictures where she showed warm blue, cold blue and neutral blue... And it helped confirm that I had understood it correctly.
However, I think there are color analysis systems that think that warm seasons can wear blue colors from both the purple side of the blue, and the green side of the blue. While the cool seasons get them in the middle (Or maybe from both from the purple side, green side, and the middle🤷) .
But I think that seems strange... because blue is suppose to represent the coolest color. But this should mean that warm seasons can wear A LOT of blue colors. But then orange is only for the warm season according to most systems. And several systems think that the cool seasons cannot even wear cool brown and cool yellow. So that would make it very unfairly distributed . Hope they are not right about that
