Welcome to a deep dive into white and black for the 12 Seasons. This video is part 1, with part 2 coming in a week or less. I'm looking forward to the best part, your questions and comments :)
This is a bit off-topic, but I can’t stop laughing about Christine’s videos where she draped herself to see if she was a summer instead of a winter. I loved your funny comments, especially When you put the summer pink on and said, “looks like baby clothes to me!” 😂😂😮
The funny associations that come to mind. Those videos are a few years old now, I try to be more reserved in the commentary these days but still, it can happen. What's interesting is that when a colour's right for a person, there are no funny associations. It's just good and normal and fine.
@@ChristineScaman oh, please don’t hold back! I love your unreserved commentaries! I think my favorite will always be, “It’s like putting a saddle on a unicorn. The two just don’t go together! “
@@ChristineScamanI think those associations might be quite helpful too. When the intention is not to bash the colour itself or insult a person, just honest discernment. I'm very curious to know when Light summer do not look fresh and crisp but more like hospital clothes instead. I came to the conclusion that happens when the person is a bit darker and warmer than LSu (but not all the way to DA). Have you observed similar effect during draping process?
@@RK-qs5dy I'm not sure I have an answer for that question. I could imagine darkness, warmth, or muting being involved. Probably depends on the person, as you say.
I think this might be my most awaited video topic, as I’ve become little more than obsessed with finding my best white hehe (Also, a few vídeos ago I comemores about a broken link in one of the blog posts, but I forgot to put with post it was. The name of the post was “Colour Analysis Questions From A Winter Reader”. Sorry!) thanks for another amazing video Christine!!
I hope the video helps you narrow down your white search :) A few links broke when the website migrated to Shopify a couple of years ago. Chasing them down takes time but if you know of any, I'm happy to fix them. I appreciate when readers point them out, thank you.
Thank you Christine for all these videos and blog posts! ❤ I found you and this magical world of colors a few years ago. I got analysed by JJ here in Finland and since then, true spring has been part of my identity. But all this started with your blog. Thank you so much! 💐
Cool, thank you❣️ I got a color analysis about 35 years ago. I was analyzed as Winter. Over the years I realized not all the Winter colors were suiting me. No problem, I chose the colors I liked. Now with 12 color types, I understand that probably bright Winter suits me best. I also analyzed my clothes and came to the conclusion that I can use the 2 sister colors as well with some little adjustments. I really appreciate your explanations- it is confirming my findings. Simply great😎
it's wonderful to continue moving forward on our journey, with colour and anything else we enjoy. Like refining the words we choose and how we speak, it makes life better for us and everyone around us. Thank you for sharing your story :)
im pretty sure im a winter..i look good in black and white and yes its a safe color for every winter when in doubt...been watching ur vids for weeks now, i love how you explain everything with insights ..thank u so much for this videos 😊
Really great video thank you. Your detailed descriptions of colours/ styles e.g. industrial look are more useful to me than just observing a plain colour to get a real sense of each season. Awaiting the future spring video as a spring that still likes black.
This is very interesting. Thankfully my shiny fine thick hair (dark autumn) is that light brownish hint in the photo of whites, , not the harsh white of one of my siblings. 🎉It’s nice for me, easy, with my pale skin I feared I would look like a dead thing if I went “ grey” but no.
Thank you Christine! I always learn so much from you. My experience as a BW who leans TW is that whites that read white are forgiving. Black need to be a vivid black or have shine if it is a big area or under my face. Black and white are easy to lean on.
Well said, easy to lean on, and not just for availability but also to create a beautiful effect. I can easily see you in TW white and shiny textile would actually close the distance to BW. Once we know our lane, our eyes become very good at filtering.
Although more focused towards women, I enjoy the way you talk about colour. I say this because I enjoy this topic but as a man I can only find so much about this haha, perhaps this is because men aren’t interested overall. What would you say about jet black? I know there’s a lot to consider, but which winter would wear jet black the best?
I understand entirely and would love to focus on videos for men. Having fewer variables in the presentation can make colour communication very powerful. The limitation on my end when I've tried in the past has been finding images to illustrate the ideas. I could probably find images for a Winter-oriented video but even there, the result might be conventional or not add anything to your knowledge. Jet black, as you say a lot to consider and we're probably imagining different colours. A Winter is most likely, maybe any Winter depending on how it's worn. Pure black next to the face can be heavy for many Winters, women with light skin tones or eye colours perhaps more, but men in the same Season often wear the intensity with more ease (and more if they're young and have dark hair or eye colours).
@@ChristineScaman thank you for replying! I totally get it, black can be a little too much at times. Like you said, it is not necessarily the best colour for a given winter person, just easy. I have also noticed that there are certain black and white patterns that work better (for me at least). For example, I much prefer wearing a white shirt and black pants than a black shirt and white pants. Even more interesting how certain neutral background-colour accents replicate better someone’s natural colour pattern. When I wear a white shirt and black pants, I just get the feeling that red, fuchsia or green/teal complement the outfit much better rather than blue, or violet.
No doubt, you're right about how these colours and combinations work. I can see how black shirt/white pants can look outstanding and still normal on some and possibly resort or Vegas on other Winters. Men are often amazingly perceptive, as you are, and I often ask clients, if you wore a white shirt and dark charcoal pants, how would you adjust it to feel comfortable? So interesting that you sense differences in these accent colours. I'm sure you're right, maybe a wavelength thing. I wonder what that's about. Blue, violet, and white pants are Bright Winter associations for me, maybe you're a different Winter :)
@@ChristineScaman thank you! I just go with my gut on this haha. Who knows, I might be wrong. yeah! I mean, I own a pair of white pants and as you say they go really well with purple and blue. That’s how I wear them actually (and I find it to be one of my favourite and best looking outfits hehe). Overall I see that a medium dark colour goes so much better with white pants rather than black ones. I suppose colours like blue and purple are dark enough when paired with white to create the big distances in contrast you have mentioned previously. Overall, I prefer white as a neutral for me. In fact I prefer wearing some colour near the face if I can. I have a very dark beard so I guess that’s why I don’t need that much black near the face, my skin is light so contrast in value is very well replicated by wearing white top/black bottom rather than the other way around (since I also tend to have very very short hair style most of the time). I don’t own blue or violet pants, but I guess If I did I would go a little crazy haha, I guess there would be so many posibilites for a shirt: my mind tells me icy yellow or white with a darker violet tie.
This video’s topic is great! So I have a question regarding the neutral seasons. Do you think that a cool-neutral season (ex: Light Summer) could somewhat harmonize with the other cool-neutral seasons (such as Bright Winter)? The same logic could be applied to warm-neutral seasons interacting with other warm-neutral seasons. Since they share the same temperature setting on the neutral spectrum, wouldn’t that commonality give them a little bit of crossover? I’ve been wondering about this for a while.
A great question. When the colour temperature is the same, it creates similarities and occasional overlaps. When the light-dark level is also the same between two colours, you'd think there would be even more overlap. That leaves the brightness difference, which can actually be most obvious when the other dimensions are similar. Maybe more so with the LSu-BW comparison in which one Season is brighter plus at the brightness extreme. It depends on the colour and the particular Seasons. Neutral Seasons of the same True, such as DA and SA, may have the closest relationships, or closer would be immediate neighbours, like BSp and TSp. Even if temperature is different, as warm-neutral and warm, the Neutral in the pair has some latitude with warm-cool. Too vague? If I didn't answer your question, please ask :)
@@ChristineScaman Not too vague. Thank you. It makes clear sense that the Neutral relationship is dependent on which Neutral season. For example, I would assume Bright Winter would have a difficult experience trying to fit in with Dark Winter and Soft Summer but perhaps it’s more adjacent to Light Summer? Just as Soft Summer might be more adjacent to Dark Winter than to Bright Winter?
Yes, that's probably right. In a way, DW keeps going where SSu stops, but there are substantial differences. Seasons are really just a mental model for seeing relationships and helping us organize and classify the massive world of all possible colours, but once we experience them in the real world, they can be more different than we thought. Maps can appear to equalize things that are not equal :)
I think it's fine. Always comes back to the person, their own appearance and colour preferences. For Summers, pastels may be too far from white to provide high contrast the way whites can, and there's no colour alternative, the way silver and icy pinks could work for Winter, but Summers have many, many options in neutrals. For Autumns, the natural contrast range may be wider and colour as neutral works, say light pink with dark brown or olive. Wow, a revelation to me too. Thanks for pointing it out!
A question that’s been lurking in the back of my mind is this: Is a black and white small-patterned houndstooth wool blazer and skirt considered black-and-white since that’s how it appears close up, or is it gray since that’s how it appears from a distance and since gray is the overall effect? Thank you for this video! Can’t wait to learn about the other seasons’ black-and-white.
I actually considered this same question. I'm a winter, if the pattern is small it looks bad on me/ washed out If it's large it looks good with a high contrast. Edit: I'm also a flamboyant natural according to the kibbie system
Great question. I decide based on how it looks from 3-4 ft, a social distance, and a 2 second (social) glance, and also who will be wearing it. Small scale prints can blur and become another colour, more so if colours are similar, which can work to the advantage of persons who are coloured with the same gradual transitions. Large scale prints and brighter colours can work better on larger scale body types or persons with wider colour transitions. I once met a Winter man who had a fairly large body type and wore a tie with a small ladybug print in which looked great up close, but from a distance the colours lost energy and the design was hard to make out. If the houndstooth looks gray from a distance when you wear it, I might think of it as dark gray. Interesting question because if you place your palette on it to see the colour harmony, the black and white might be more distinct and give a different effect.
@@AlexLouiseWest same with my Belgian sheepdog! She is definitely a winter, with her black coat and white little mustache! She’s blowing her coat right now and is decorating my wardrobe and my whole house with bits of black!
I have been struggling to buy cashmere sweaters in workable colour. I have dark autumn white hair and the black in Quince sweaters is nicest cashmere. Of course it’s not the perfect black however the soft depth is nice. Perhaps if I hang it in sunlight I might adjust it slightly.
@@ChristineScaman thank you Christine. I see the importance of softness in my fabrics, Watching and listening to you has been so helpful. I find interesting how you think about colours and of course texture and softness matte and shine. Since I have my new hair colour I can wear pearls, of course with attention to colour. It’s very interesting getting older, not awful at all. Quince has nice Mongolian lamb cashmere, lovely weight and drape and well cut. And great price, Christine. I used to buy good quality dark brown cashmere sweaters and little cardigans with diamond buttons on eBay but those times are over. The quince leather jackets are nice soft and well made. Great price.
I had my colours done over 30 years ago and was classed warm spring. Now I notice people use different names for the seasons and warm spring is very rarely mentioned so I’m not sure what I am anymore. Am I a light spring?
Warm Spring and True Spring are terms used by different colour analysis companies. I'm familiar with True Spring, which means Spring with no influence from another Season, compared with the Neutral Spring Seasons of Light Spring and Bright Spring, which are blends of Spring with Summer or Winter. I can't speak for other systems but Warm Spring may mean the same or possibly is a term for a Spring-Autumn blend, which is not a group within the system I use. Hard to know which Season you are today, but it probably indicates that Spring colours play the primary role in your colouring.
That may be too general of a conclusion from that single observation. Gold is like any other colour, it can have warmth, brightness, and darkness levels that would agree better with some Seasons than others. Also, since most people are between warm and cool, called neutral, they can wear gold or silver depending on the shade. An example video might be "How to be Dark Winter, not True Winter' on this channel. DW is a cool-neutral Season and can wear both metals.
Love your videos!! I was wondering if you have any advice for wearing the "wrong" shade of white? I'm a TW and have a black&white dress where the white is more of a cream.. It's not *right* under the face, though the nearest thing (off the shoulders).. Do you think jewelry can help in that scenario? Certain type of makeup maybe?
Jewelry seems the easiest idea. Great to keep the clothes we own and find ways of bringing the overall effect closer to our Season. Perhaps cosmetics in borderline TW-BW colours? With the low neckline and black in the composition, the dress is probably well beyond the 80% point.
A great question. I'm not a colour theorist but the reason may relate to how neutrals are les saturated versions of the Season's main colours, allowing them to share the same tones and look well together. Summer and Autumn have softer colours with more pigment in the neutrals (Winter is the reverse, high saturation colours and low saturation neutrals to give balance). In Autumn compared with Spring, I believe that red and small amounts of black are added to provide golden warmth from yellow, along with muting, and darkness, therefore the source of the red in some colours. In Summer, the pink tone appears in neutrals as their source is the cooler versions of brown and blue, which tend closer to violet on the colour wheel. I'm sure my answer is incomplete but may explain some of the reasoning.
A great suggestion, thank you :) In the videos on this channel, Your Best Pink and True Autumn Neutrals, you can see pinks and browns with varying saturation, that may help.

You are so welcome!
Brilliant study of the colours. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Haven't seen u in awhile, what a treat, u look so well rested it shows.😊
😊 thank you
Your hair looks so great, Christine 🎉

My hair was charcoal when young with silver shine.
I know the colour you mean. Gorgeous really.

"People don't wear shine in their everyday lives. " 😅 I do Christine
i do too! and i do it more in the last year, now that i know i am a bright winter and it helps me!
Fair point. I'm partial to sparkle myself. And built-in jewelry totally qualifies as everyday shine!
Thank you Christine! ❤

If Gold looks better than silver on me ( in clothes and jewellery)
Is that can mean I have warm undertone
That may be too general of a conclusion from that single observation. Gold is like any other colour, it can have warmth, brightness, and darkness levels that would agree better with some Seasons than others. Also, since most people are between warm and cool, called neutral, they can wear gold or silver depending on the shade. An example video might be "How to be Dark Winter, not True Winter' on this channel. DW is a cool-neutral Season and can wear both metals.

Why summer and autumn has pink in it could you plz explain that thank you
A great question. I'm not a colour theorist but the reason may relate to how neutrals are les saturated versions of the Season's main colours, allowing them to share the same tones and look well together. Summer and Autumn have softer colours with more pigment in the neutrals (Winter is the reverse, high saturation colours and low saturation neutrals to give balance). In Autumn compared with Spring, I believe that red and small amounts of black are added to provide golden warmth from yellow, along with muting, and darkness, therefore the source of the red in some colours. In Summer, the pink tone appears in neutrals as their source is the cooler versions of brown and blue, which tend closer to violet on the colour wheel. I'm sure my answer is incomplete but may explain some of the reasoning.
@@ChristineScaman thank you so much is that possible to make a video
Less pigment pink more pigment brown that’s amazing thank you so much
A great suggestion, thank you :) In the videos on this channel, Your Best Pink and True Autumn Neutrals, you can see pinks and browns with varying saturation, that may help.
