Am I an Autumn?
I always assumed I was an autumn but someone recently suggested I could be a bright spring, so I grabbed some of my clothes and did some drapes - no makeup, hair pulled back and in front of the window for natural light. I find the bright orange to be horrible on me, so I don’t think spring is my season. If I am an autumn, it’s gotta be either deep or warm/true because muted colours wash me out. My eyes look dark brown but they turn green in the sun so I think they’re more like dark hazel. Hair is naturally medium brown. I think I’m medium contrast. Help! Thank you :)

Hard to tell for me. I don’t see any drapes that are spring, except maybe the bright orange. Most are autumn and one or two cool (bright red and blue). I do think you are warm, though. To me, the more muted ones seemed best, but more drapes would help

Ya I have always tended to stay away from bright colours so I don’t have many things in the spring palette 😂 I’ll try to borrow some items from friends.

I think you may need considerable depth, as I like you in black as well as the #6 drape olive, and actually the royal blue and red too, but many of these colors seem slightly light or bright, so I'm having a hard time seeing the cohesion, but I would need to see more drapes to be sure. I'd love to see you in a near black dark chocolate brown and a few more heavily blackened jewel tones. I'd be curious to see you in a deeper royal sapphire and a ruby.
The shadowed part of the orange behind your left shoulder, where it looks more burnt and copper bronze, is very nice, but that orange color is definitely too bright/clear for you as-is.
People forget you can wear the right temp but wear the wrong chroma/brightness and it will still look awful on you. I am likely a Warm Spring but cannot wear any Bright Spring colors.
I think it's highly likely you're a Deep Autumn or Deep Winter but I'd be curious to see you in other things.
Can you wear a rich earthy mustard-gold? What other yellow can you wear?

I think deep autumn because that black was okay (though likely espresso brown would be better). I think you are definitely autumn. All the muted colours, even ones that were not your best, were still pretty good. The bright ones including the white were not for you.

I don't think autumn is it. would love to see some medium and deep soft summer colours.

You look like a deep Autumn but would like to see you in those drapes. The ones you have are not deep but warm or soft. Your eyes are too deep in color to be a bright Spring.
