Can't wait for the dark winter examples cause I'm trying to figure out whether I'm just a dark autumn in denial. I thought I would be dark winter cause I believe my skin is neutral cool , brown , and my eyes and hair contrast highly with my skin. Both are a very dark brown on close inspection but look black. But I have a mustard top that I think looks good on me. And coppery brown and warm brown look good on me too.
They are sister palettes and if you are truly neutral you can borrow a few colors from the other palette That means that if you are a Dark Autumn, you can wear the warmer colors from the Dark Winter palette And if you are a Dark Winter, you can wear the cooler colors from the Dark autumn palette The darker you are, the higher your color tolerance, so that is also a factor. I would suggest trying: Brown vs Black Brown/beige vs Grey Blue-purple vs Red-purple True Blue vs Orange
Micah, they probably say that you are a winter because you have a darker skin tone and you also have a lot of red in your skin, I saw your pictures. Color analysts confuse darker skinned people with winters, and they are not always winters.
I'm looking forward to this video! I've seen it somewhere that Teanna Taylor is a Dark Winter, it'd be cool to see if the next video includes her in the breakdown :)
I am more and more confused (or in denial 🙄) I've spent the last few years wearing mainly black during cold seasons (I live in the UK) or white during summer. But now I feel like I need to change things around a bit! So I got my undertones checked by a professional stylist and they said I'm a winter (blue veins, I like silver on me, but gold doesn't look too bad. But I like warm colours better and I thought I was a warm autumn after your videos (my foundation is a warm colour). Is there any relation between autumn and winter or am I just in denial?
This is so great! It took forever to figure out that I am a dark winter. Even longer to figure out that I have olive undertones. Love your videos-looking forwards to the next ones. (Also, for celebrities with olive skin-i'm not an expert but I think Lauryn Hill has olive undertones. And then this one is a bit more clear-Rihanna)
@@dawnssful i honestly don’t know. I keep getting put under the deep winter category after all of my research but I’m looking into being a summer now out of curiosity. It’s still hard for me to really know what i fall under bc i don’t have a great perception of self. Winter seems to suit me best bc if theres not enough contrast in my outfits or i wear overly muted clothing/ colors I’ll look washed out
The olive special will be posted after we finish with the seasons:) But I will try to include people with olive undertones in the examples for the other types!
Hi Micah I loved this video! Thanks for sharing. Please touch more on muted/soft dark winters and how or what differentiates from soft summers. The “mutedness” is what confuses me, TBH. Does this make them “soft dark winters” or “dark soft summers”. Which colours from either palette would suit people in these categories. So ready for the examples! ❤️✨ Ps. Congratulations on 20k!
Thanks!!! And thank you for your continuous support 🥰 I will definitely be touching more about it on the Soft Summer video:) It’s similar to what happens between Dark Autumns and Soft Autumns. Since a pure Dark Winter has a medium chroma level, some of them can be a bit more muted and some of them can be brighter The way you choose between a muted dark winter and a soft summer would be how many colors you can borrow from each palette
@@cocoastyling My pleasure! You're a blessing to many of us! Thank you for all you do! aaand bingo! :) it's making a lot more sense now. I look forward to learning more. I love this system!
I'm definitely a winter but the difference between clear and dark winter with black women is so slight, or maybe even non-existent, so I don't know if it makes much of a difference or is easy to type. For instance, I see Lupita most often typed as clear while Viola is often typed as deep. But when you see pics of them together I'm struggling to see a difference and find they both look good in the same colors. So honestly, I just make sure I'm in primarily cool tones and wear what I want in that range. I also wear select warm tones as accents. A totally cool toned outfit can be boring so I like to throw in gold jewelry or even shades of orange that are coral or amber toned. When black people glow we are bronze and copper hued like the sun, not silver, so in this aspect I think we are mostly neutral or always have a warmth. Anyways, I stopped caring about clear vs dark and just go with the outfit.
Hi there, is it possible to be both a clear spring and dark autumn? I feel like i am somehow a mixture of both Thank you again so much for all this knowledge you are blessing us with🥰
Is it possible to have warm undertone and be a dark winter? I’m confused cause I have warm undertone but my online color analysis keeps giving me dark winter
Hi Micah am from Kenya n am glad to find your channel, to help me figure out what clors work for my dark skin. One thing I still don't understand is dark winter, or summer, or cool winter I get lost please can u explain further about season is it skin or do u mean clothing
I removed the pure seasons from my system ( for example Cool Winter, Cool Summer, Warm Spring, and Warm Autumn) I will talk about why on the q&a But basically to answer the rest of your question, Dark Winters look their best in darker colors Clear Winters look their best in Brighter colors Soft summers look their best in muted (greyish) colors Light Summers look their best in light colors (pastels)
I was so much looking forward to this as well. I am still in between dark or clear winter. Not very obvious as both work for me and feel great. Dear Micah could you please use women of a medium to lighter skin for your pictures as well? I am mixed and medium to lighter skinned and find it sometimes a bit difficult to adapt myself to darker skin tones. More of Alicia Keys and Zoe Kravitz Type women would be amazing. Thank you so much 💓
I think zoe Kravitz is considered a deep winter if that helps any. I just looked it up online but i can’t guarantee the accuracy since it was a quick search but here are some celeb examples: Shay Mitchell, Lucy Liu for sure, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Hannah Simone, Taraji P Henson… I am also a medium/fairer skinned black woman of this color season with olive undertones and it’s still somewhat confusing to me. Good luck
I will try my best to include dark,medium, and light examples from the dark skin spectrum:) I haven done the complete color analysis for Zoe, and from the outfits I have seen she is either a Dark Soft Summer or a Muted Dark Winter But Alicia Keys is a Light Spring!
Is deep winter the same as dark winter?. I used the site color wise and I come up as deep winter every time. But when I look up deep winter I can’t find it. All I find is dark winter.

What does it mean if you wear orange better than true blue?
@@sakuralaedy7068 you may be a warm spring.
@@sakuralaedy7068 remember, dark autumns, need darker oranges, especially if they have a neutral warm undertone.

There's not that much difference between summers and winters in that, summers are cool and light, and winters are dark and cool.
Mutedness just means that they tend to look more gray and dull than people that look more bright, and saturated.
If you are muted or more grayed out, you need more muted colors than very bright colors because they overwhelm you.
Thanks!!!
And thank you for your continuous support 🥰
I will definitely be touching more about it on the Soft Summer video:)

Can we please have a video of patterns to wear being dark winter? Because patterns also depend on body type😊

Yay new video 💕
Is it possible to have warm undertone and be a dark winter? I’m confused cause I have warm undertone but my online color analysis keeps giving me dark winter
Can you do sister seasons for deep autumn or which spring colors work for them aswell?
We’re here! 🌸
Hi Micah am from Kenya n am glad to find your channel, to help me figure out what clors work for my dark skin. One thing I still don't understand is dark winter, or summer, or cool winter I get lost please can u explain further about season is it skin or do u mean clothing
Dark winters have dark hair and eyes with either rosy brown skin, olive gray skin, or blue undertone skin.
I removed the pure seasons from my system ( for example Cool Winter, Cool Summer, Warm Spring, and Warm Autumn) I will talk about why on the q&a
But basically to answer the rest of your question,
Dark Winters look their best in darker colors
Clear Winters look their best in Brighter colors
Soft summers look their best in muted (greyish) colors
Light Summers look their best in light colors (pastels)
@@cocoastyling ❤️ so excited to learn more about this system.
@@cocoastyling Micah they get that diagnosis from the fact that you have deep dark skin, and it just seems cooler to them.
@@cocoastyling Can dark winters wear ivory white? Please I need to know.
Thanks. I think I am a warm clear spring though 😁
Great information!
I thought that Dark Autumns are dark and WARM, Dark winters are dark and COOL.
Tarki skin very beautiful I love dark skin.
I was so much looking forward to this as well. I am still in between dark or clear winter. Not very obvious as both work for me and feel great.

I am mixed and medium to lighter skinned and find it sometimes a bit difficult to adapt myself to darker skin tones. More of Alicia Keys and Zoe Kravitz Type women would be amazing.

She does use them.

Good luck
@@victoriataylor5584 yes I know but to me it feels that in this series there are only darker skinned women as examples
@@amayaperry thank you and good luck to you too.
I will try my best to include dark,medium, and light examples from the dark skin spectrum:)
I haven done the complete color analysis for Zoe, and from the outfits I have seen she is either a Dark Soft Summer or a Muted Dark Winter
But Alicia Keys is a Light Spring!
Is deep winter the same as dark winter?. I used the site color wise and I come up as deep winter every time. But when I look up deep winter I can’t find it. All I find is dark winter.
They use dark and deep interchangeably. It confused me at first too
@@amayaperry thank you so much!
Yes, it does.
I have nth deep winter in my wardrobe
I'm surprised you grouped Liya Kibede here. Her undertones are very green. She seems neutral/olive.
Yes! I included her in the examples video:)
im her complexion and deep winter in the cooler months
Netural and Olive are cool undertones.
