I'm fairly certain I'm soft, cool and deep, which is why I was never able to find my season in traditional seasonal or 12-season analysis. This palette has all the colours that are most flattering on me. Seasonal analysis kept trying to put me in winter, whose colours were too bright, clear, or stark for me, or autumn, whose colours are too warm and sallow for me. This is one of those missing seasons from other systems that really fills in the gap for those of us who could never find ourselves elsewhere.
Totally agree. I've been typed as either a deep autumn, deep winter, and even soft autumn using virtual color analysis multiple times - knowing that none of those were quite right. 16 Season analysis comes closer with the Dark Summer and Soft Winter types.
I have mid- dark chestnut brown hair, with a definite reddish hue and deep chestnut brown eyes and am slightly tanned naturally. My skin tone is definitely cool. Blue veins, pinkish skin tone. I have never fitted into any of the standard seasons but now 12 categories have become 16, I’m sure that I’m a soft, deep winter which is this category here! It’s only taken me 50 years to discover this. And it all makes sense.
Oh! This explains why I can't wear solid pastels, but pastel patterns like a micro gingham or minor houndstooth look good on me. They have just enough white added to soften it, while still maintaining the brightness. Thank you for this video.
Very useful, thank you! According to me I'm medium-deep soft and cool and I have a lot of medium colored clothes but something is missing. I really liked that palette and now I'll add some colors from it in my wardrobe to achieve some contrast. This for the soft orange is so true! Warm red and warm yellow make me look sick but that orange is perfect on me - it makes my skin looks bronzy in a healthy way.
Pretty sure this is where I fit though can pull off a rich cool red and black and white thought tend more to navy blue, rich berry, etc. Natural hair is soft black, eyes are a deep cool army green but can go amber. My skin is neutral to cool and super pale. Thanks for showing how people can pull into related fields. If you take that bright jewel ring out then I’m definitely a BCD. Interesting.
Can one's color type change? I used to wear Bright, Cool, and Medium/Deep colors, including jewel tones, but I was recently typed in another system as Soft, Cool, and Medium-Deep. My hair has gone from dark brown to salt-and-pepper gray, but I'm still medium to high contrast. My eyes are dark brown and my skin tone light/medium. Can a high contrast person be soft?
Yes. In YCS, Soft Cool Deep can be high contrast. and they can wear brighter colors. The only difference is the sharp intense jewel tones are just too intense on them. So, slightly softened is best. SCD also don't wear pastel's well, where as BCD can wear icy light colors very well.
@@YourColorStyleso basically, it just means soft relative to the contrast winter usually has, but not as gray as the typical soft summer? That makes so much sense.
It doesn’t translate, because Soft = Light and Deep=Bright in seasonal colour analysis. That system doesn’t have a space for SCD so you would need to approximate something between DW and SSu.
There is in some systems something called a dark summer/deep summer which would be the equivalent of this. They have depth and perhaps some contrast, but are more muted than a winter. A deep winter may also be classified as soft cool deep, as they often do not look good in the extreme bright colours of bright winter, and often look very good in deeper colours (which are soft, as they are deep) There’s a misconception that all winters are incredibly bright. They all need a certain saturation and presence of colour but only bright winter is the “crazy bright” sub season!
This would be a toned winter in seasonal analysis (16 palette not 12). I was typed as a dark winter but the colors are just a smidge too bright. Soft cool and deep works better for me.

Very helpful! So what would SCD translate to in seasonal color analysis?
I really don't know. I'm here to help you find your best colors within Your Color Style.
@@YourColorStyle Understood ❤️
