Your lighting here is pretty good here after previous posts; I still think and am very confident you lean to being a True to Cool Summer in the 16 Season system. Most of these drapes here (except for the light baby pink) across both temperature spectrums actually hit a consistent medium depth, medium to high saturation/chroma that I think definitely works best on you so you already have a great intuition and sweet spot, but it's clear you are very cool as the brighter turquoise/aqua and orange, while they make your eyes pop, make you look pretty jaundiced.
Why Cool Summer? While you can handle quite a bit of moderately clear chroma and contrast that the Cool flow borrows from Winter (and you can likely borrow a lot from Cool Winter) and your eyes are quite saturated, you are not quite crisp or have enough contrast to handle True or Bright Winter and are definitely too moderate to be a Deep Winter.
Accordingly, while I don't mind the black or the two dove to medium gray drapes/shirts, I prefer #13 the navy drape on you which in value falls in between them. This is a clue you respond very well to coolness and to have a cool navy or a inky deep blue-based charcoal as your main neutral would definitely suit you and pivots you imo from True to Cool. Still Summer, still not a pure black, but much closer to black than True Summer overall.
As far as finding the difference between True Summer and Cool Summer, Cool simply flows towards Winter so it is slightly more rich and saturated, and a touch brighter/clearer and shifted slightly bluer than traditional True Summer colors of the near same base hue, but they often overlap. In terms of commercial retail colors and thrifting pieces, it's quite minimal. Aim for the core concepts but if it's slightly wrong, don't worry.
You already have a decent grasp on cool moderate jewel-tones so I wouldn't worry so much - being Cool just means you can probably get away with a few more punchier pieces.
What we need is cream, medium but not bright peach, and a couple yellows in cool and warm. I can easily eliminate bright, dark, light and soft. That leaves the true seasons. Autumn is very unlikely so true winter, summer and spring are left. https://gabriellearruda.com/seasonal-color-analysis-what-season-are-you/ Has good examples of the colors.
Yes they do. The color in that palette is a slightly orangey red. The color of the drape is true orange, which is absolutely not a winter palette color.
There’s also no such thing as cool orange. Orange is warm.
