exactly. I hate pastels on me with a burning passion. I look sicly. Buy jewel colors - I always get compliments when I wear my fave deep purples, deep greens and deep reds. :)
It’s interesting that when you added black it created a camo color range. That’s why the camo colors work in harmony with one another. Gosh this is so good!
I love this! Now it's making sense why I'm drawn to brown and navy instead of black, as a slightly warm toned person, and why I like my browns/camels and aqua greens and blues together - they're complementary, if you account for the pure hues!
I love colour on other people, but the toned down suits my skintone, personal style and personality (it’s also the designer and architects uniform 😄) with a pop on lips 💋 Loving this series!
Loving this color series so far! As a warm-colored myself, I find it soooo hard to resist the urge for cool hues :( A major change came when I bought a beautiful orange dress for my birthday last year and I discovered how big the difference is when you wear colors that match your skin and don't compete with it.
@@Beteljess you mean Justine's video? Not at all. I don't know if you've seen her previous videos, but she has been very vocal about personal style and high quality clothing. She even has several videos against fast fashion and excessive buying.
@@Beteljess I mean, you can wear whatever color you like, that's not the point of the video. I think she's just trying to show which colors will look better depending on your skin tone. This isn't something exactly new, she's just structuring it on a video series. I think everyone has an item of clothing that gets them compliments such as "that color looks amazing on you!" And that's what she's trying to show in this video, the colors that will give you that special glow. I love some shades of pink, even the ones that are too cold for me. Will I stop wearing them? No. But I'll definitely try to find warmer shades in the future. That doesn't mean I'll be throwing my pink rain boots away.
👏🏼 Thank you very much for your contribution into popularizing the basics of color theory! I am on the warm side of the color wheel, and I’ve replaced “standard neutrals” in my wardrobe with warm, earthy tones. I have always seen that pure black&grey&white do not suit me well, but I worked in the bank and I was somewhat restricted by corporate dresscode. I did what I could to flow towards warm pallette, i.e. choosing a milky white or cream white rather than blueish or greyish white etc. In the last few years I’ve left that job to become accessories designer and I am gradually changing all my wardrobe basics into beige/orange/terracotta/brown with a pops of grass green, olive green, yellow, coral, red and everything that looks good on me. Still have some black and white clothes, but much less than before and I’m really happy about it. I like to dress colorfully and I feel great wearing colors, even pure hues.
I love playing colors, but my challenge these days is that my skin tone is warm (my wardrobe is full of golden-warm-browns, golds, reds--basically, my closet is eternally Autumn), but now I need to balance that with my cool-toned naturally gray hair which really pops with cool tones! That burgundy shirt, by the way, is fabulous!
I have the same problem: a wardrobe full of darker warm tones and my new hair (Before an operation they shaved them all and they grow back whitout the warm tones. I think my age adds to it.). My hair is mostly mid- to darker neutral brown with some greys. I toned down the colors in my wardrobe and wear more neutral with them - it helped. But Im still sorry, I couldn't wear my golden browns with my bright yellows in one outfit anymore. I will incorporate them like accessories - according to Justina's proposal.
Same here, I have warm undertones, and now white hair. I used to look nice in deep browns and reds, now the reds not so much. I never wore pastels and I looked horribly in greys, now grey looks nice, and pastels even nicer, including blue... It’s a bit confusing. :) Someone on another channel said that with grey/white hair pastels are out and we should wear dark colours and black. I look a hundred years old in black and sick, plus I really don’t like black, so definitely no black for me. Braun still looks nice though. I wonder what Justine would say about this.
Thank you for another succinct explanation of the colour palates. I have a more yellow-warm undertone and realised I naturally tend to gravitate towards corals and earthy browns for my lipsticks. I'll now consciously try to include these in my wardrobe as well :)
Thank you! As an autumn colour type - this is exactly what I started to do and now my drying rack usually looms like a painting. Because the colours match so well together and there are so many different colours. Thank you for the tips on how to build a monochrome outfit, that looks very colourful and joyfull. And my appreciacion on how pedagogically well built your series is. ♥️
I am going to watch this video a few more times so I can really understand this. I am warm undertone and love brights but I love how you are mixing more muted colors to this to really add depth. Love this!
Wow. This was so helpful. I'm in the process of creating my colour palette. I have also been choosing middle hues like Coral and Golden yellow. I was elated to see that you recommended such a combination
Thank you for mentioning brown as a neutral! I am a very fair autumn, and black looks terrible on me. There is not enough talk of brown as the alternative. I love wearing color too- all the ones you mentioned, and any warm orange is my favorite!
What a great topic! I've been dwelving all my life with color issues in my wardrobe. I think I may have warm undertone but cool greens, blues and greys suit me the most. These are very hard to find in stores because most collections (specially winter collections) gravitate a lot arround beije. It´s the worse color ever for me because it makes me look sick like anemic sick. It´s very frustrating because it matches everything and I find it very pleasing to the eye. However I'm sticking to your advice and choosing what looks good on me. Best thing ever. I narrowed down my wardrobe by 80% and I feel much happier. Thank you Justine!
I love the burgundy and wine tones. I move towards black and dark colours, but this series makes me wonder if I should explore brilliant ones. Thanks for the tips, Justine!
As the last woman said, I'm the opposite, cool but I do love coral. Can't wait for the cool mix, I loved how you added black and showed us such an array of brown. We forget how versatile it is.
I'm a warm olive tone, and it can be soo hard to find colours that compliment not just the warm, but the yellowy-green... for example I look terrible in khaki but a lot of warmer toned people look great in it! This was a great video- I love how helpful this series is!
Justine, I am so happy to watch your videos. My grandmother was French and she taught me soooo much about fashion. I adore your videos because they remind me so much about Juliette, my granmere who I loved so much.
Thank you so very much. I have been working on a color palette for a while now, as I draft and make much of my own classic office-type wear. I am a natural blonde, but with yellow undertones, and needed some fine tuning as to hues in the choices of fabric colors I choose. As to jewelry, I love silver, but recently found that a pale gold that has pink undertones works best against my skin color.
Thanks Justine. Love your videos for years now. I'm Asian but not yellow... And finally I can understand how to work with my tone. Thank you thank you thank you.
Absolutely loving your colour series Justine. I'm cool toned and my daughter is warm toned so have been guiding her on colour choices. We are both so much happier with our wardrobe content 😊 Thank you 😉
You look fabulous in this dark warm red (bordó). I remember your old video a few years ago, but this was better for me. I know my color type and the colors that look good on me, and yet your illustrations with color swatches give me an even deeper understanding.
You are the still the most educational creator among all the ones I'm subscribed to.. I so enjoy when you show colour cards for example, coz when people just verbally describe or show it on screen it's hard to understand what it will look like in the physical world under natural light !!
I feel like I'm entering a new stage in my life and I'm trying to build a wardrobe that really suits me and is sustainable, also in the way that I'll want to wear the new clothes for quite a while. On top of that, it's been a year where so many of my clothes have gotten holes in them, discoloured, worn out,... they are just no longer wearable. So I'm looking forward to the rest of these colour videos to help me build a wardrobe that really suits me :))
i have a warm undertone and cool skin tone. I worked in color analysis at one time and write for a color analysis group on Facebook. This is a great video Justine. I must add it's also important to know if one looks best in clear chroma colors with black or white added or muted colors with black or white added. It's the entire combination of hair, eyes and skin that makes one warm or cool. I look great in browns, olives, navy and camelsetc. Black, jewelt ones, and pastels wash me out. I love color. The psychological effect that happens when people find the colors that really flatter them can never be overlooked.
It's been difficult finding brown/camel/rust neutrals the last few seasons. (I've had to rely on olive as a basic )Black, grey & pantone fashion color of the year have dominated every Fall/Winter for a long time. I was finally able to find a wool coat in camel just last Xmas & another shorter coat in caramel this sale season. I was so pleased. I wear a lot of peach/coral/salmon, yellow-greens both muted & bright, & red-violets. I already have plenty of white, black & light grey in my wardrobe & have been trying to incorporate more tans & browns in jackets, bags & shoes to go with the warmer colors of my wardrobe. I've been color analyzed twice-the first time I was told Autumn & the second time Warm Spring. They are both warm but there is a different intensity & feel to the palettes.The Warm Spring palette seemed more flattering although at first it felt very bright & a little too girly lol compared to the earth tones & black I had been wearing from the Autumn. But I always get more compliments when I wear those feminine "spring" colors, it never fails.
Hi Justine! Thank you for making this series about colour, a topic I am very interested in! A few years ago I discovered through a colour analysis that I have a warm skin undertone and since then, I always look for what I call ‘autumn colours’. And you’re right: when you’ve build up your wardrobe around (in my case: tuned) colours, the combinations are endless 😊! Again: thanks for this inspiring and interesting video!
Thank you for the jewelry tip! That brass and copper go better than gold with very warm colors is new information for me. Would love to see the various colors of your jewelry placed on top of the cards.
You are very at explaining the color analysis things. I have watched many gurus clips but yours is the easiest to understand and to apply! You’re awesome!!!!
I’m going to be a little bit annoying, I do apologise in advance since I’m sure you already know these tidbits that I find missing. One of my main AHA moments with colour students was when I revealed to them that their long-standing view of the colour palette division of cool and warm divided in half was narrow. That there are, in fact, cool yellows and warm blues; that the temperature in them could also be accentuated by the surrounding chroma depending on the proportion of the sample, and that there were so many more unexplored possibilities once they opened that door. The other thing I find missing is a deeper dive in olive undertones. We can be both cool and warm, as well! I do appreciate that these two tangents of information can over complicate a short, easy video, but since you’re a very good communicator and you are doing a series, I dare say a lot of people would love to go in depth at this possibility of expression.
You are brilliant, Justine! I’ll say it again. A modern day Da Vinci. I love your scientific, left-brain breakdowns of creative, right-brain topics. Just brilliant!
I have noticed that what ever the color is, if it's dark enough (with added black) it will suit me. Purple is probably the only bright color from the wheel that suits me. My skin is yellowish and it has cool undertone. My veins actually look more like turquoise than blue or green. It's not a pretty combination to be honest, and neither gold or clean silver suit me very well. However copper and steel are both very good and old darkened silver too. This series is very interesting and helpful, thank you!
Wow, this is so eye-opening! I am always struggling to find colors that suit me, and this video helped me feel more confident about choosing colors! Thank you so much Justine! Looking forward to new episodes!
Justine, thank you for your great content! I love this series about color theory. This video just reassured me that I'm doing things right in my wardrobe. All the clothes I wear look exactly like the second and third row of the warm colors mixed with black + the peachy pink. I love to wear my burgundy culottes with a peachy- old rose ribbed turtleneck and some gold or rose gold coloured jewellery.
Justine, thank you for this - absolutely brilliant series! I believe Im somewhere between warm and cool, yet not neutral perhaps more olive. What should us olive toned girls do?
Thanks for the video it really helped me understand why I instinctively gravitated towards certain colours while choosing my clothes. I have a warm undertone for sure (not too much since muted warm colors suit me better than bright colours) but I still look good in some cool colours like Electric blue, Aubergine, and Lilac....etc which honestly is a mistary to me.
Why can't I press like more than once? Thank you for this video. Since I started watching your content my wardrobe has turned into a (mainly cool-toned) rainbow. I can make warmer colours work as well by strategically placing them further away from my face, either on the lower half of my body or by layering something brighter that shows closest to my face underneath a warm toned top. Hope this tip helps!
I really appreciate this series! Personally, I love bright colors and they suit me very well. I just have a hard time combining them. I rarely own neutrals.
Love your video, Justine! It’s amazing how much things change, once you wear the “right” colors! I always thought that I understand aesthetics really well, but only recently I have discovered that I was wearing the wrong colors most of the time! Pandemics really gave much free time for us. I used it for studying things on youtube, incl. color analysis :)) So now I’m really “shining” in my delicate warm colors and rose gold jewellery☺️ I repeat the same mutted colors in my make-up (browns, greens, rose tones) and it works perfectly! Not even mentioning how amazing it is when your wardrobe finally works and you can mix and match everything!
I love your videos. They go more in depth about colouring than other folks do (at least in ways I can understand). As someone on the olive-skin spectrum, I’m still unpacking my undertone and colour palette. To answer your questions: the I gravitate toward bright cool colours, but darker or muted warm colours (deep reds and greens, but earthier/ dark browns). Pure gold makes me look too yellow and I’ll. Bronze, copper, (and silver) make my skin shine…at least this is how I interpret my colouring. Eagerly awaiting your next videos - especially the ones covering neutrals! 😅😀
so glad this series popped up on my recommended!! I'm excited to see the next episodes 🙏 I think this unfortunately? fortunately? solidified for me that I am as neutral as they come...I thought I was cool-toned for the longest time until I tried a neutral-toned foundation and it blended right into my skin. It makes sense now why my natural hair colour suits me - it's N E U T R A L mousey brown - and I tended to hair colours that were a combination of warm and cool (like a cool brown with a warm purple mix) 😭 I'm hoping there's still directions for neutral-toned people after your cool-tone episode because it feels like I have *too* many options, and none of those options really bring out the best in me. It's all 'meh'.
Love this , I’m warm tone and love all the autumnal colours , but I fell in love with a navy blue trench which I’m pairing with burgundy and sometime mustards , I think it’s working well !!!
Fantastic, thanks! Best I've seen this topic addressed! I lean towards the reds, but a bit toned down. A burgundy or plum, but not cool. Can't think of the color I'm trying to describe, but it's a heavy part of my wardrobe. It always gets me the "wow that color looks great on you" reaction.
Excellent system .. thank you, Justine. I am somewhere between soft and bright, and warm-neutral. Hazel eyes (slate, olive, gold-brown), golden brown hair. Your explanation has been very helpful. Customization is important. Your combinations are more sophisticated. Makeup is a bit mysterious. I just have to try everything, and not have a closed mind. Then, once I have finally found a great lipstick, the manufacturer discontinues it. Every time.
Finally caught up to watch this video. Thanks Justine! I'm warm but not crazy warm-toned. My complexion is quite muted, so high chroma colours don't work as well, they drain me. I wish I could wear bright orange but I can't 🤣 At least there's terracotta ;) When you added the black to those first hues I was like YES that's what I like! I also like pastels, dusky pinks for example look nice against my skin 😊 Look forward to the cool-tones.
I've always been in the warm camp - using brown primarily as a neutral with lots of brighter hues depending on the season. It's no surprise that fall is my favourite time of year! 😁
I love this series. I am warm toned, blonde and blue eyed. When I have a tan, however, I know I can wear almost every color on the color wheel. Why is that? Does a tan cover up your undertone? Does it change it? I'm trying not to get tanned anymore because it's not great for my skin, but I really love being able to wear the brighter colors!
Thank you for the video. I am a Warm Spring and have worn my warm tone colors for years. I always feel good and everything I buy goes together. Glad to see you embracing this. It's such fun, as well. .
I love the deep rich reds. I want to wear red but want the right one since I am warm undertoned. Heading over to the lipstick video and awaiting your next video in this series.
Haha I didn’t know I have naturally made my whole wardrobe warm hues 😂 I love chartreuse, coral and peach as my pops of colour in clothes but mostly I wear tuned down colours. Makeup- I wear a rainbow of colours on my eyes, today I wore neon yellow, peach and royal blue 😊
Me wearing Mustered Yellow head to toe while watching the video 💛 I am warm undertone and really enjoy wearing jewel tones. Right now we are having winter and wearing bright colors is my preference for the season. I love watching your content it reflects your efforts you behind making it. 💖
Great video breaking down colours and I like the brighter lighter colours as I am fair haired. Looking forward to the next video with neutrals. Merci beaucoup.
I’m a fall season, woman with yellow undertones and a peaches and cream complexion. I had my coloring done in the late 1990s. I wear only my colors, and get complements about how well I wear browns and oranges. Alas, no pinks or blues or blacks. Love your channel.
Love your well-informed videos, Justine! I'm a warm undertone, red is my accent colour and I'm trying to move away from black as my go-to neutral, especially as I usually wear it on top to balance out my inverted triangle frame. Hard transition, it's so practical!
Justine great series! Love! Would you consider doing live/zoom with viewers to find their colours? Maybe then they can dig into their wardrobe & find options we could see in another video? I only ask because I am pretty sure I am neutral but there’s definitely colours that each me out so does that mean I am not?
I am happily surprised by your descriptions of colour choice. Bright yellow will never turn up in my wardrobe but I am going to choose more copper and browns. Thank you Birdy
Hi Justine, I'm a cool winter person and quite pale skinned. I love brown with a blue undertone and I use it as a neutral. I prefer it to grey. I feel brown has more depth... think crushed velvet. Oddly enough too when I wear corald I get lots of compliments.
thank you justine i was looking forward for this video, now looking forward for the next in the series. i've a warm undertone and i'm very attracted by the tuned down warm tones, and now I understand why I have so many brown pieces, they are my neutral!
Definitely warm. For this winter I’m doing a palette of green/cream/black; warm burgundy or maroon and brown or black; and pumpkin or rust, brown and sage green. For anything cooler like black I will use away from face. I do plan on wearing navy pants with burgundy or wine top.
I am very fair neutral with slightly warm undertones. Warm colors make me look pasty so I opt for muted warms,burnt orange is my favorite! Being neutral I am lucky enough to be able to wear everything but in the muted form. Bright hues look garish on me. Excelent video Justine!
I definitely liked the tones down hues, but I still couldn't wear them. I am very excited for the video for cool tones. I have been told that I have extremely cool co!oring, which made sense of a few experiences I have had. I once had a lovely grey shirt that was apparently such an unflattering shade on me that people asked me if I was ill EVERY TIME I wore it. Every single time! I loved every other thing about that shirt, but I took the hint and gave it away.
I am cool and grey looks fine on me. But I am learning it is sometimes about your undertone. I have pink/red undertones and pink and grey are complimentary so kinda makes sense.
I’ve let my hair go to its natural color of warm grey and I’m experimenting without any black or white. I’ve been lightening and softening my warm pallet, mixing with brown and grey neutrals. I still need some intensity difference in each outfit and some colour. My favorites are a dark chartreuse, brick, plum and a brassy gold. It’s been so much fun! I’ve created a warm or neutral base colour for each season, and then I added three accents in warm mid hues which all go together with my colouring, intensity and contrast. It’s very unique and I’m finally using decades of carefully collected pieces! I Love your show💕, thank you for this series! 🙏
I am 100% cool-toned (always "winter", in those seasonal-color analyses) but I still watched because you're such a fountain of knowledge, and such a pleasure to listen to!
Wow, that color red looks so good on you! I love dark, dramatic reds, but I'm so decidedly cool toned, I hardly ever find a shade of red that suits me. Well, at least I can compromise by wearing my nails red most of the time 😅. Looking forward to next weeks installment. Finding the exact shades of the right colors is such a challenge when shopping. It's not just cool vs warm. I've found, that I look great in deep, muted jewel colors, for example, but not in pastels or bright pink or blue. Navy blue, charcoal grey and white are my best neutrals. Black is only ok and light to medium grey doesn't work at all. It all still puzzles me a bit still.
Great video!!! Please do another one for the cool toned too! I am very pale cool toned with jet black eyes/eyebrow/hair and all I stick to is navy blue/burgundy/forest green or black and white, I really need to add more color to my wardrobe! unfortunately all warm tone colors or pastels look terrible on me.
As an Asian girl whose skin is fair to medium with a warm-leaning neutral undertone, I am most used to wearing white, grey, and some earthy colors such as Khaki green and muted pink. But I do find that I might actually look better and a lot more energized if I add one to two more saturated colors to my outfit. Will try to expand my wardrobe by experimenting with some cooler pinks, purples, and blues in the future. This series is helpful!
I was hoping this video would come out soon! I personally tend to love bright colors, even in winter. Where I live it gets very cold and grey, and it can be so tiring to see the same neutral tones all the time. I've found a number of lovely, bright sweaters that really pop on me, but I think I can pull it off because of my personality. I do like seeing how to make such a color more subdued by adding earthier tones, since it's one thing to have a pop of color and it's another to be overwhelming. My biggest issue is I look fantastic in oranges and yellows, but I absolutely love the color blue. I want to learn how to play with color and have the cool tones that I love look good on me, and also play up my skin with the warm tones that look stunning on me. Perhaps I'll just end up with the entire color wheel in my closet 😅
I definitely tend towards the more muted hues. My current wardrobe palette is a mix of earthy browns/coffee brown + beige as my light neutral + copper for jewellery and for a accent colour I’m drawn to khaki green or sage. But I love your tip about mixing muted hues with bright hues, I’ll have to give it a try, just in time too as I’m thinking of getting a new top for the party season!
I am cool toned and a bit jealous how warms can rock corals, peaches and oranges. btw I also remember your video about choosing hair color according to your undertone, and distinguishing warm blonde vs cool blonde hair etc. A pretty important point when building a pallette, along with makeup
The video about building a color palette for COOL undertones is now online too: ruclips.net/video/XDThBOFWdzw/видео.html 😘
Absolutely love all these videos and looking forward to the black/white/grey. I have the hardest time telling my vein color!
I am warm but I dislike this colors😢
I love jewel tones, I can do both warm and cool, but pastels make me look ill. Love this series!
SAME. Pastels look horrible on me!
Me too.
exactly. I hate pastels on me with a burning passion. I look sicly. Buy jewel colors - I always get compliments when I wear my fave deep purples, deep greens and deep reds. :)
Same, I think it may be that I'm more "olive". Also, pastels make me look like a corpse.
same!
It’s interesting that when you added black it created a camo color range. That’s why the camo colors work in harmony with one another. Gosh this is so good!
Justine this new color series is so helpful ps love how you matched your lipstick color to the color of your blouse❤
I love this so much. I'd watch 1hr live video on this seeing how you play with colours in real life. I learn so much from you 💕
I love this! Now it's making sense why I'm drawn to brown and navy instead of black, as a slightly warm toned person, and why I like my browns/camels and aqua greens and blues together - they're complementary, if you account for the pure hues!
I love colour on other people, but the toned down suits my skintone, personal style and personality (it’s also the designer and architects uniform 😄) with a pop on lips 💋 Loving this series!
Loving this color series so far! As a warm-colored myself, I find it soooo hard to resist the urge for cool hues :(
A major change came when I bought a beautiful orange dress for my birthday last year and I discovered how big the difference is when you wear colors that match your skin and don't compete with it.

@@MarielaInojosa very well answered. I wanted to say the same :) I think in the next video she might add pink to our palette as it is red+white :D
I am also warm and have a great orange dress for the summer. I wish it was not so hard to find clothes based on a warm palette all year round.
As a cool person i have trouble resisting warm toned colours
👏🏼 Thank you very much for your contribution into popularizing the basics of color theory!
I am on the warm side of the color wheel, and I’ve replaced “standard neutrals” in my wardrobe with warm, earthy tones. I have always seen that pure black&grey&white do not suit me well, but I worked in the bank and I was somewhat restricted by corporate dresscode. I did what I could to flow towards warm pallette, i.e. choosing a milky white or cream white rather than blueish or greyish white etc. In the last few years I’ve left that job to become accessories designer and I am gradually changing all my wardrobe basics into beige/orange/terracotta/brown with a pops of grass green, olive green, yellow, coral, red and everything that looks good on me.

Justine, I am so happy to watch your videos. My grandmother was French and she taught me soooo much about fashion. I adore your videos because they remind me so much about Juliette, my granmere who I loved so much.
Loooove this new series so much Justine 😍 looking forward to the next episode since I'm cool toned, but really enjoyed this video as well! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so very much. I have been working on a color palette for a while now, as I draft and make much of my own classic office-type wear. I am a natural blonde, but with yellow undertones, and needed some fine tuning as to hues in the choices of fabric colors I choose. As to jewelry, I love silver, but recently found that a pale gold that has pink undertones works best against my skin color.
Thanks Justine. Love your videos for years now.
I'm Asian but not yellow... And finally I can understand how to work with my tone. Thank you thank you thank you.
Absolutely loving your colour series Justine. I'm cool toned and my daughter is warm toned so have been guiding her on colour choices. We are both so much happier with our wardrobe content 😊 Thank you 😉
You look fabulous in this dark warm red (bordó). I remember your old video a few years ago, but this was better for me. I know my color type and the colors that look good on me, and yet your illustrations with color swatches give me an even deeper understanding.
You are the still the most educational creator among all the ones I'm subscribed to.. I so enjoy when you show colour cards for example, coz when people just verbally describe or show it on screen it's hard to understand what it will look like in the physical world under natural light !!
Ahh now I understand why I love both yellow and kaki so much! Thanks Justine :) I guess I will combine them more in one outfit as well.
Between Trinny and Justine you can’t go wrong with understanding colour in your wardrobe
The way you explain color theory is so much easier to understand and will help me look at colors so differently when I shop for clothes. Thank you
I feel like I'm entering a new stage in my life and I'm trying to build a wardrobe that really suits me and is sustainable, also in the way that I'll want to wear the new clothes for quite a while. On top of that, it's been a year where so many of my clothes have gotten holes in them, discoloured, worn out,... they are just no longer wearable. So I'm looking forward to the rest of these colour videos to help me build a wardrobe that really suits me :))
Thank you Ms. Justine for your videos on color palette. I knew already what colour suits me and it made me feel better.
i have a warm undertone and cool skin tone. I worked in color analysis at one time and write for a color analysis group on Facebook. This is a great video Justine. I must add it's also important to know if one looks best in clear chroma colors with black or white added or muted colors with black or white added. It's the entire combination of hair, eyes and skin that makes one warm or cool. I look great in browns, olives, navy and camelsetc. Black, jewelt ones, and pastels wash me out. I love color. The psychological effect that happens when people find the colors that really flatter them can never be overlooked.
We are lucky to have you on this platform!
Couldn’t agree more!
love this color series!! I love orange, corals and browns
Thank you so much Justine! I find understanding my best colours to be terribly challenging!
It's been difficult finding brown/camel/rust neutrals the last few seasons. (I've had to rely on olive as a basic )Black, grey & pantone fashion color of the year have dominated every Fall/Winter for a long time. I was finally able to find a wool coat in camel just last Xmas & another shorter coat in caramel this sale season. I was so pleased. I wear a lot of peach/coral/salmon, yellow-greens both muted & bright, & red-violets. I already have plenty of white, black & light grey in my wardrobe & have been trying to incorporate more tans & browns in jackets, bags & shoes to go with the warmer colors of my wardrobe. I've been color analyzed twice-the first time I was told Autumn & the second time Warm Spring. They are both warm but there is a different intensity & feel to the palettes.The Warm Spring palette seemed more flattering although at first it felt very bright & a little too girly lol compared to the earth tones & black I had been wearing from the Autumn. But I always get more compliments when I wear those feminine "spring" colors, it never fails.
Hi Justine! Thank you for making this series about colour, a topic I am very interested in! A few years ago I discovered through a colour analysis that I have a warm skin undertone and since then, I always look for what I call ‘autumn colours’. And you’re right: when you’ve build up your wardrobe around (in my case: tuned) colours, the combinations are endless 😊! Again: thanks for this inspiring and interesting video!
I loved the deep red hues with a pop of coral. I’m going to try that combination! Another great video Justine. 🤎❤️🧡
Thank you for the jewelry tip! That brass and copper go better than gold with very warm colors is new information for me. Would love to see the various colors of your jewelry placed on top of the cards.
You are very at explaining the color analysis things. I have watched many gurus clips but yours is the easiest to understand and to apply! You’re awesome!!!!
I’m going to be a little bit annoying, I do apologise in advance since I’m sure you already know these tidbits that I find missing.
One of my main AHA moments with colour students was when I revealed to them that their long-standing view of the colour palette division of cool and warm divided in half was narrow. That there are, in fact, cool yellows and warm blues; that the temperature in them could also be accentuated by the surrounding chroma depending on the proportion of the sample, and that there were so many more unexplored possibilities once they opened that door.
The other thing I find missing is a deeper dive in olive undertones. We can be both cool and warm, as well! I do appreciate that these two tangents of information can over complicate a short, easy video, but since you’re a very good communicator and you are doing a series, I dare say a lot of people would love to go in depth at this possibility of expression.
You are brilliant, Justine! I’ll say it again. A modern day Da Vinci. I love your scientific, left-brain breakdowns of creative, right-brain topics. Just brilliant!
Eagerly awaiting the cool toned version of this series
Your videos are addictive, I learn a lot about style and fashion with you. Thank you.
I have noticed that what ever the color is, if it's dark enough (with added black) it will suit me. Purple is probably the only bright color from the wheel that suits me. My skin is yellowish and it has cool undertone. My veins actually look more like turquoise than blue or green. It's not a pretty combination to be honest, and neither gold or clean silver suit me very well. However copper and steel are both very good and old darkened silver too. This series is very interesting and helpful, thank you!
I love the earthy colors. Hoping you share some similar options for cool undertones!
Thanks Justin... I love your no nonsense videos... You don't waste my time. Yet the videos have appropriate information.
Wow, this is so eye-opening! I am always struggling to find colors that suit me, and this video helped me feel more confident about choosing colors! Thank you so much Justine! Looking forward to new episodes!
Justine, thank you for your great content!
I love this series about color theory. This video just reassured me that I'm doing things right in my wardrobe. All the clothes I wear look exactly like the second and third row of the warm colors mixed with black + the peachy pink. I love to wear my burgundy culottes with a peachy- old rose ribbed turtleneck and some gold or rose gold coloured jewellery.
Justine, thank you for this - absolutely brilliant series! I believe Im somewhere between warm and cool, yet not neutral perhaps more olive. What should us olive toned girls do?
I love the brightest colours!
Thanks for the video it really helped me understand why I instinctively gravitated towards certain colours while choosing my clothes.
I have a warm undertone for sure (not too much since muted warm colors suit me better than bright colours) but I still look good in some cool colours like Electric blue, Aubergine, and Lilac....etc which honestly is a mistary to me.
Why can't I press like more than once? Thank you for this video. Since I started watching your content my wardrobe has turned into a (mainly cool-toned) rainbow. I can make warmer colours work as well by strategically placing them further away from my face, either on the lower half of my body or by layering something brighter that shows closest to my face underneath a warm toned top. Hope this tip helps!
I really appreciate this series! Personally, I love bright colors and they suit me very well. I just have a hard time combining them. I rarely own neutrals.
Love your video, Justine! It’s amazing how much things change, once you wear the “right” colors! I always thought that I understand aesthetics really well, but only recently I have discovered that I was wearing the wrong colors most of the time! Pandemics really gave much free time for us. I used it for studying things on youtube, incl. color analysis :)) So now I’m really “shining” in my delicate warm colors and rose gold jewellery☺️ I repeat the same mutted colors in my make-up (browns, greens, rose tones) and it works perfectly! Not even mentioning how amazing it is when your wardrobe finally works and you can mix and match everything!
your makeup vs. clothes choice makes a lot of sense... well done!!
I love your videos. They go more in depth about colouring than other folks do (at least in ways I can understand). As someone on the olive-skin spectrum, I’m still unpacking my undertone and colour palette.
To answer your questions: the I gravitate toward bright cool colours, but darker or muted warm colours (deep reds and greens, but earthier/ dark browns). Pure gold makes me look too yellow and I’ll. Bronze, copper, (and silver) make my skin shine…at least this is how I interpret my colouring.
Eagerly awaiting your next videos - especially the ones covering neutrals! 😅😀
so glad this series popped up on my recommended!! I'm excited to see the next episodes 🙏
I think this unfortunately? fortunately? solidified for me that I am as neutral as they come...I thought I was cool-toned for the longest time until I tried a neutral-toned foundation and it blended right into my skin. It makes sense now why my natural hair colour suits me - it's N E U T R A L mousey brown - and I tended to hair colours that were a combination of warm and cool (like a cool brown with a warm purple mix) 😭
I'm hoping there's still directions for neutral-toned people after your cool-tone episode because it feels like I have *too* many options, and none of those options really bring out the best in me. It's all 'meh'.
I am so enjoying this series. Playing with colours is my thing!
Love this , I’m warm tone and love all the autumnal colours , but I fell in love with a navy blue trench which I’m pairing with burgundy and sometime mustards , I think it’s working well !!!
Fantastic, thanks! Best I've seen this topic addressed! I lean towards the reds, but a bit toned down. A burgundy or plum, but not cool. Can't think of the color I'm trying to describe, but it's a heavy part of my wardrobe. It always gets me the "wow that color looks great on you" reaction.
Justine, you look sooo beautiful in that ruby shirt!
Excellent system .. thank you, Justine. I am somewhere between soft and bright, and warm-neutral. Hazel eyes (slate, olive, gold-brown), golden brown hair. Your explanation has been very helpful. Customization is important. Your combinations are more sophisticated. Makeup is a bit mysterious. I just have to try everything, and not have a closed mind. Then, once I have finally found a great lipstick, the manufacturer discontinues it. Every time.
Je suis ravie de trouver une vidéo avec beaucoup d’informations!! Bravo et merci beaucoup 😊
Finally caught up to watch this video. Thanks Justine! I'm warm but not crazy warm-toned. My complexion is quite muted, so high chroma colours don't work as well, they drain me. I wish I could wear bright orange but I can't 🤣 At least there's terracotta ;) When you added the black to those first hues I was like YES that's what I like! I also like pastels, dusky pinks for example look nice against my skin 😊 Look forward to the cool-tones.
I've always been in the warm camp - using brown primarily as a neutral with lots of brighter hues depending on the season. It's no surprise that fall is my favourite time of year! 😁
I love this series. I am warm toned, blonde and blue eyed. When I have a tan, however, I know I can wear almost every color on the color wheel. Why is that? Does a tan cover up your undertone? Does it change it? I'm trying not to get tanned anymore because it's not great for my skin, but I really love being able to wear the brighter colors!
As a naturally blonde and blue eyed Native American (directly descended from 3 different Native Nations), I have the same issues.
Warm undertones and having more pigment in your skin gives more "tolerance" to the non colors, you're blessed ✨
Thank you for the video. I am a Warm Spring and have worn my warm tone colors for years. I always feel good and everything I buy goes together. Glad to see you embracing this. It's such fun, as well. .
I love the deep rich reds. I want to wear red but want the right one since I am warm undertoned. Heading over to the lipstick video and awaiting your next video in this series.
I have been looking for a channel like yours for ages and I'm so glad you were finally recommended to me on another one of your videos. Subbed 👍
Yay! I hope you do OLIVE cool undertones because we are a separate alien species 😁
Yes that would be really lovely!
Yes! Please do neutral-cool undertone with warm overtone!
Yes please! And olive warm undertones! I’m so confused about those lol
@@carosamchwa3081 You have it easier though! 😭
@@di3486 Sometimes! But most of the time I’m just confused😅 one of the colors that I do gravitate to is a wine red
Haha I didn’t know I have naturally made my whole wardrobe warm hues 😂
I love chartreuse, coral and peach as my pops of colour in clothes but mostly I wear tuned down colours.
Makeup- I wear a rainbow of colours on my eyes, today I wore neon yellow, peach and royal blue 😊
Me wearing Mustered Yellow head to toe while watching the video 💛
I am warm undertone and really enjoy wearing jewel tones. Right now we are having winter and wearing bright colors is my preference for the season.
I love watching your content it reflects your efforts you behind making it. 💖
Great video breaking down colours and I like the brighter lighter colours as I am fair haired. Looking forward to the next video with neutrals. Merci beaucoup.
I’m a fall season, woman with yellow undertones and a peaches and cream complexion. I had my coloring done in the late 1990s. I wear only my colors, and get complements about how well I wear browns and oranges. Alas, no pinks or blues or blacks. Love your channel.
So this is why everyone likes my mustard jumper and beige coat. Thank you, Justine
Can’t wait for the cool toned video
Love your well-informed videos, Justine! I'm a warm undertone, red is my accent colour and I'm trying to move away from black as my go-to neutral, especially as I usually wear it on top to balance out my inverted triangle frame. Hard transition, it's so practical!
Now that you’re doing this great series I will finally read Josef Albers’ little book on the interaction of colors. Thank you Justine!
Justine great series! Love! Would you consider doing live/zoom with viewers to find their colours? Maybe then they can dig into their wardrobe & find options we could see in another video? I only ask because I am pretty sure I am neutral but there’s definitely colours that each me out so does that mean I am not?
Zoom doesn't do the job, it shows colors completely wrongly, unfortunately... This needs to be done in person, in daylight...
I'm learning so much! :) I get a lot of compliments when wearing coral or dusky pink. I think my skin tone is warmish but not too warm.
I am happily surprised by your descriptions of colour choice. Bright yellow will never turn up in my wardrobe but I am going to choose more copper and browns.
Thank you
Birdy
Hi Justine, I'm a cool winter person and quite pale skinned. I love brown with a blue undertone and I use it as a neutral. I prefer it to grey. I feel brown has more depth... think crushed velvet. Oddly enough too when I wear corald I get lots of compliments.
thank you justine i was looking forward for this video, now looking forward for the next in the series. i've a warm undertone and i'm very attracted by the tuned down warm tones, and now I understand why I have so many brown pieces, they are my neutral!
Definitely warm. For this winter I’m doing a palette of green/cream/black; warm burgundy or maroon and brown or black; and pumpkin or rust, brown and sage green. For anything cooler like black I will use away from face. I do plan on wearing navy pants with burgundy or wine top.
I am very fair neutral with slightly warm undertones. Warm colors make me look pasty so I opt for muted warms,burnt orange is my favorite! Being neutral I am lucky enough to be able to wear everything but in the muted form. Bright hues look garish on me. Excelent video Justine!
I definitely liked the tones down hues, but I still couldn't wear them. I am very excited for the video for cool tones. I have been told that I have extremely cool co!oring, which made sense of a few experiences I have had. I once had a lovely grey shirt that was apparently such an unflattering shade on me that people asked me if I was ill EVERY TIME I wore it. Every single time! I loved every other thing about that shirt, but I took the hint and gave it away.
I am cool and grey looks fine on me. But I am learning it is sometimes about your undertone. I have pink/red undertones and pink and grey are complimentary so kinda makes sense.
I’ve let my hair go to its natural color of warm grey and I’m experimenting without any black or white. I’ve been lightening and softening my warm pallet, mixing with brown and grey neutrals. I still need some intensity difference in each outfit and some colour. My favorites are a dark chartreuse, brick, plum and a brassy gold. It’s been so much fun! I’ve created a warm or neutral base colour for each season, and then I added three accents in warm mid hues which all go together with my colouring, intensity and contrast. It’s very unique and I’m finally using decades of carefully collected pieces! I Love your show💕, thank you for this series! 🙏
This video is amazing! I'm more a tuned down type of person. But I'm definitely going to use the tips you've provided. Thank you.
I am 100% cool-toned (always "winter", in those seasonal-color analyses) but I still watched because you're such a fountain of knowledge, and such a pleasure to listen to!
Wow, that color red looks so good on you! I love dark, dramatic reds, but I'm so decidedly cool toned, I hardly ever find a shade of red that suits me. Well, at least I can compromise by wearing my nails red most of the time 😅.
Looking forward to next weeks installment. Finding the exact shades of the right colors is such a challenge when shopping. It's not just cool vs warm. I've found, that I look great in deep, muted jewel colors, for example, but not in pastels or bright pink or blue. Navy blue, charcoal grey and white are my best neutrals. Black is only ok and light to medium grey doesn't work at all.
It all still puzzles me a bit still.
Pleaaase! Make videos with complete outfits for each undertone! I love your videos!
Great video!!! Please do another one for the cool toned too! I am very pale cool toned with jet black eyes/eyebrow/hair and all I stick to is navy blue/burgundy/forest green or black and white, I really need to add more color to my wardrobe! unfortunately all warm tone colors or pastels look terrible on me.
As an Asian girl whose skin is fair to medium with a warm-leaning neutral undertone, I am most used to wearing white, grey, and some earthy colors such as Khaki green and muted pink. But I do find that I might actually look better and a lot more energized if I add one to two more saturated colors to my outfit. Will try to expand my wardrobe by experimenting with some cooler pinks, purples, and blues in the future. This series is helpful!
I was hoping this video would come out soon! I personally tend to love bright colors, even in winter. Where I live it gets very cold and grey, and it can be so tiring to see the same neutral tones all the time. I've found a number of lovely, bright sweaters that really pop on me, but I think I can pull it off because of my personality. I do like seeing how to make such a color more subdued by adding earthier tones, since it's one thing to have a pop of color and it's another to be overwhelming. My biggest issue is I look fantastic in oranges and yellows, but I absolutely love the color blue. I want to learn how to play with color and have the cool tones that I love look good on me, and also play up my skin with the warm tones that look stunning on me. Perhaps I'll just end up with the entire color wheel in my closet 😅
Yes! Bring color to our lives!
I definitely tend towards the more muted hues. My current wardrobe palette is a mix of earthy browns/coffee brown + beige as my light neutral + copper for jewellery and for a accent colour I’m drawn to khaki green or sage. But I love your tip about mixing muted hues with bright hues, I’ll have to give it a try, just in time too as I’m thinking of getting a new top for the party season!
This is great video! Thank you. can't wait for the next one
I am cool toned and a bit jealous how warms can rock corals, peaches and oranges.
btw I also remember your video about choosing hair color according to your undertone, and distinguishing warm blonde vs cool blonde hair etc. A pretty important point when building a pallette, along with makeup
