There's a reason every art/design student spends a year on color. Temperature--warm/cool--is kind of misused & saturation is misunderstood. Any time you add to a hue (can be white, black, grey or another hue/color) you change its temperature & saturation. That's how you end up with True Red (aka primary red) Warm Reds & Cool Reds. They are all RED but comparatively some will be warmer or cooler or brighter or duller (clear or soft/muted) It can be difficult to judge these attributes of a color without a comparison. That's where color swatches can be very helpful. In school we had to make color wheels, value scales, tint scales etc (we used numbers 1-10, with low numbers being dark values & high numbers being light values. If a painting was High Key it was done in light colors, Low Key was the opposite) So often I see soft colors as being described as having grey added or dusty or pastel. That's not really true since both white or black will soften a hue by lowering its saturation level as will another color especially a complementary color. TL:DR soft colors aren't necessarily " greyed out or dusty" they are just not fully saturated. How saturated/muted a "flattering" color is will be unique to you. Same with how light or dark. Color analysis is just a tool, & seasons are a shortcut visual since most people know what you mean by Fall/winter Colors or Spring/Summer colors because we all shop for clothes & colors tend to trend by season in fashion. Also, our coloring naturally softens with age regardless of what season we are.
Oh wow! I think I might be soft first, then warm, which explains why I was analyzed as an autumn, but think I look good in a few of the summer colors, too. Love you two!
Thank you so much- were a new channel and our goal is to create a whole community of the most informed color analysts, so we will be learning together.
You two are such a breath of fresh air! I've long struggled with figuring out my season because I can't tell what my undertones are. Green eyes. Dirty blond hair. I'm definitely light and soft. I wear a lot of blues and greys. But I don't know if they are my best colours or it's because I lack creativity 😂
I was analysed in this system over 20 years ago ( Colour Me Beautiful UK) when I had dark brown hair, eyes and brows as a deep with secondary characteristics of soft and warm. Now I am grey, with sparse eyebrows that have been “ powder browed” a slightly warmer brown. My skin is still neutral- warm, though paler now and my eyes are still dark. I’m going for a new analysis ( same system) in a few weeks so I’m intrigued to see what they decide. I’m enjoying your channel 😊
Very informative video. I can't wait to learn more. I am some type of spring I believe and with your help I know I will be able to finally figure it out❤thanks for all your great content.
I finally settled on soft as my dominant. Soft Autumn I suppose is the closest. My undertone is neutral leaning warm, my eyes are that mix that has the blue-green behind the brown, and my hair is neutral and actually leans cool. My contrast is medium. It's been the most annoying journey, especially without money to pay for analysis, and then which system would I get analyzed in any way?
New subscriber here and have struggled between classifying myself as a spring or summer but with this palette I feel like soft is a better fit ! Hooray, thank you so much! Can’t wait to learn about the color palettes w these categories! 👏🏻
1995 i vas analyst for autumn but I think I´m soft autumn. All my favorite colors seem to bee in that color palette. I love getting nye information from you beautiful lady´s.
I sure enjoy watching you ladies, it's so very interesting to listen, also it's a blessing that you can work as mom & daughter together on something u both really enjoy, love it!!
Is turning photos black and white a good way to determine soft or clear...I found this useful particularly when in photos of group of people where ypu can compare.
In 12 season I am a deep winter, by draping, but many of the colors are far too bright for me or just don’t sit right. I have a medium skin tone which is cool olive and very dark hair and eyes but not quite black. My primary is deep, and I am on the cool side of neutral but I am much softer than most winters, as I think many POC in this category might be, because I have a mixture that can lean ashy, almost silvery green like sage. The deeper colors of soft summer are almost right but almost too gray. Looking forward to finding out more about this system.
Now this makes sense! My dominant dominant characteristic is cool. My best hue has always been Crayola crayon blue in all its tints and shades. As a child, I had Elsa's coloring (Frozen). When Color Me Beautiful was all the rage, my hair was the darkest shade of ash blonde. As I matured, it grayed to what is now a pewter shade others always compliment me on over anything else. My secondary compliment is usually for my blue eyes, helps to have a Norwegian for a grandfather. When my hair was at it's darkest I never could figure out if I was a Summer (my sister clearly is) or a Winter. But I have always been very certain about being Cool. I even had a yellow/orange sweater for school spirit days (maroon and gold) in high school and when I wore it people always asked me if I was feeling okay. Thank you for presenting another way to do thus! 🎉❤
I first heard about the 6 being called color code system it asked for my hair color eye color and skin tone ash brown hair grey eyes fair skin. Then it came up clear.
This is very helpful! I've always been confused about whether I'm warm or cool (I understand the theory, I just don't neatly fit anywhere). I also feel middle of the range soft versus clear. But my skin is about as light as it can be so there we are. 😅 My "tan" is a slightly warmer shade of beige. 😂
Once again you have produced another outstanding video!!! Please clarify this for me: I thought that soft summers were a mix of summer and autumn. Now I am understanding you all to say that they are a mix of spring and summer. This can help me understand a lot if it is a mix of spring and summer. I have been racking my brains trying to figure out why I would have been analyzed as a spring and a soft summer when the two seems so opposite. Perhaps they are not so opposite. Thank you so much for educating us all!
I've learned that the syster palette of soft summer is soft autumn, not spring, which is a clear season. They can borrow some shades from each other. The sister palette of light summer, however, is light spring, and they can also borrow some shades from each other. But you can sometimes borrow a shade or two from any other season.
I would consider SOFT closer to neutral than a season. I will create a chart and post it on our facebook page Color Class Inc. It might take a few days. 😊
I am cool and clear. I am very sure I am cool, mustard and similar colors look terrible on me. And I know I’m not soft. This system with these characteristics make sense to me.
Hello. I have started watching your videos and am finding them interesting and useful, thank you. May I recommend however numbering your videos? I am a little lost in which one comes after which and I hate skipping my lessons :)
You are both great!!! Love your videos! One of the bloggers said that women look more elegant wearing light colors. And that became a problem what are the light colours for autumn? I don't want to be a stylist or anything), I just want to find the colors that suit me. I am warm autumn (not always soft, I think), so I have dark brownish), deep blue.
Unless this blogger was the man of your dreams, ignore her. Elegance is created by cut and style, not tone. Having said that Autumns can wear plenty of light colors like ivory and terra cotta. This strikes me has a great topic for a show- stay tuned!
This light, soft muted top suits You very well Lucinda. Better than the one in a video from 12.4.2024, which is cooler. In my opinion, You are still soft autumn, but more muted. But, You are the expert, this is just my feeling.😊
Your instincts are brilliant. Carole Jackson, author of Color Me Beautiful calls me an Au-Summ. A little too cool for the warmer shades in Autumn but still able to wear some of the Autumn shades.
12 palette coming next, then the 16, tonal, and a system that Sara and I are creating with Carole Jackson that covers all the blank spots in all the systems!
@@ColorClassIncthat sounds amazing. Hopefully, it’ll have a little more help for those of us who have more melanin, at least example wise, because whilst I am definitely cool leaning, I have been typed as an autumn in past because the analyst has “never seen translucent skin on a person of color”. Same problem with foundations, where neutral/cool actually winds up being olive the darker you get, not pink but they just make them a darker version of lighter neutral.
@@ColorClassInc actually soft summer flows between summer and autumn. The light summer palette is the one that flows spring. Just remember it is always the thing the two seasons have in common so for summer it will be cool: summer/winter light: summer/spring and so: summer/autumn.
I really enjoy this channel. You are both so smart and lovely. Could I be a light if I have dark blonde hair (level 7). I have very cool pink skin. Reliability, the lightest cool foundation shade if they have one light enough. I also have bright light azure blue eyes? I feel like am light but am unsure with my hair color. Thanks.
What I find confusing is that every color analysis company has different colors representing the seasonal colors. I believe I'm a deep autumn, but sometimes the colors are fairly bright, and others are more a medium chromatic palette. Also, it is a little difficult sometimes to disingenuous between DA vs. WA
Awesome! Is it possible then to go from being 'clear' to being 'soft' ? What I've struggled the most with is greying hair, I think the grey hair makes it difficult to see anything else on myself. And a lot of other analysts just recommend dying hair to match our season/skin. But i dont want to do that 😂
Super helpful video, ladies!! 🥰💯. Thank you so much for the wonderful content you put out here on the RUclipsland 🫶🏻🌾. You may be on YT for only a couple of months, but you manage to garner almost 6k subscribers, and that's an amazing accomplishment 😺😸. May your channel grow 💛✨️💗💖🩷💝💓💞💕. I'm clear (primary tonal feature) and cool (secondary tonal feature -- this is my undertone) 🌞❄️.
I recently went from a number 2 level. Very dark brown black hair with a hint of red to bleaching my hair and now all of my clothes which are mostly black. I must say, don't look good on me 😢 Do you ever do virtual color analysis?
We do virtual color analysis that is quite unique. It includes a digital dossier with your image captured in multiple colors. We also offer digital color collections that are housed on your cellphone.
I am light Asian with dark hair and eyes. So I kinda fall into the middle of light and deep. I lean towards warm. And seems like I am a clear? 😅 it’s so hard!
Your videos are so edifying! May I ask whether the two dominant characteristics can be soft and deep? Are those two as contrary as they sound or is this possible? I am one of those neutral folks. In seasonal, I'm a soft summer who can borrow pretty much anything from the soft autumn palette. That said, in both palettes, my best colors hands down are dark. Add enough black to a color and it will look great on me. Am I someone who should be looking for blackened variations of dusty colors? If that exists, any tips on how to find a few lighter colors I can depend on? I'm currently trying to build out some dusty rose browns and mushroom grays. I am just so sick of black and navy. They look great but I'm so bored. If I could pull it off, I'd be in beige linen all day! (Sadly, I cannot pull it off. Light from head to toe adds so much weight to my frame and unfortunately I need to wear monochromatic outfits...I'm a soft dramatic in Kibbe.) Anyway, would love your thoughts if you have the time and space to reply. Thank you for making this work available to us!
Is it possible to be Clear + Cool if your undertone isn't cool? I've been typed in Color Breeze as a Clear Cold Winter.... but I think maybe that was just an assumption by the person. I never got to talk to them about myself or anything like that, lol. Is this something your guy's system will have like a way to determine and type that person in a situation like this? I have a neutral undertone and my outertone is Olive. However, I get soooo pale just by that paleness everybody assumes I'm very Cool undertoned/overtoned and it's not until I tan they finally believe what I'm telling them that I'm not. 😅
In this system I’ve been told I’m clear but when I attempted to lighten my hair with either warm highlights or cool highlights which were disappointing I was told I was a soft. I’m a winter so are winters primarily clears in this system?
Winters are never “soft,” too much contrast. Winters can be deep, cool or clear in the 12 palette system. But these shouldn’t influence your highlights. Winters have a tough time with highlights - here’s why. Hair when lightened tends to go warm so you have to tone your result. I was studying the l’oréal website and one option they suggested was a cool red. It looked ver cool. Here is link- www.lorealparisusa.com/beauty-magazine/hair-color/hair-color-ideas/highlights-for-black-hair
@@ColorClassIncthat is my problem with the 12 system. All winters are “brighter”. I am a winter (deep) by draping but I also have a higher degree of softness (olive medium skin), to the point where darker soft summer colors actually seem more representative almost the whole palette isn’t in harmony just the darker ones. Black and optic white seem to almost be too contrasting but very pale gray and charcoal suit me well.
I have become confused. I thought that if your dominant characteristic is soft and you are more light, so more Summer, then you would borrow from Soft Autumn, not Spring as Lucinda said....
I find it kind of frustrating when there are so many different, like 12 seasons, then the 16 seasons systems etc. And some call dark and deep winter the same, for some they mean different things. 🙄😜🙄 Who and what system to believe?
It’s great when folks fit neatly into the four seasons, but with greater diversity the need arises for more sub-seasons. If we understand them, no one will slip through the cracks.
There's a reason every art/design student spends a year on color. Temperature--warm/cool--is kind of misused & saturation is misunderstood. Any time you add to a hue (can be white, black, grey or another hue/color) you change its temperature & saturation. That's how you end up with True Red (aka primary red) Warm Reds & Cool Reds.

6-palette works very well for people in transition. Especially the light and soft palette for people with graying hair.
💯

This is the BEST channel about color analysis
Thank you so much- were a new channel and our goal is to create a whole community of the most informed color analysts, so we will be learning together.

It’s really nice to have someone out there going through everything. I’m looking forward to watching you as this channel grows.
Welcome to the family!
I am always in love with Lucinda's fashion choices, especially with grey hair.
