The effort that went into prepping and editing this video must have taken hours and hours of time. And the result is an unbelievably well done and helpful video. Props 👏👏👏
I'm stunned your boyfriend asked for the earrings back!!! In my world once a gift is given it belongs to the recipient and it's extremely bad form to ask for it back. Luckily I've always been drawn to the cool colours that suit me. When I was young I envied the girls who wore bright red lipstick but the nearest I could get to it was fuschia and at the time I didn't realise why. I've never owned or worn anything red ,orange or even on the warm side because they make me look ill/ off. It's great to see such a comprehensive demo. 🌷
I had a boyfriend once who showered me with gifts, even though one of the first things I mentioned to him is that I don't really like receiving gifts. Then, when we broke up, he asked for not just one but every gift back. I returned them, they were kitchy.
you can wear reds, but you've got to get the cool ones, and the intensity of red can make or break the look. OMG FIRETRUCK works on very, very few people
I think it's fine to ask for expensive gifts back. The gifts were given out of love...then you find out that person isn't the person you thought they were. It's honestly better to just not give gifts and not give expensive gifts at all because what is the purpose? expensive gifts are just manipulative gestures
Not really, if it was something expensive and they are not together anymore... imagine if those would be a family thing, like from the grandma or the like, you might want to have them back.
@@user-nb2sn6id4rno, no one should be giving gifts thinking they will take that back later. Gift is a gift and changing your mind just makes you vicious. No matter why you changed your mind. Also, “but it was expensive” means you can’t afford expensive stuff in the first place and shouldn’t be buying it.
@@studiobonvon exactly! I think I’m a summer. Cool but muted. So soft summer or true summer maybe. I haven’t had my colors done, but I gravitate to the same colors all my life it seems.
TRULY the absolute BEST video I have ever seen on this color theory and how to efficiently and accurately test yourself. Thank you so much for putting this together. I have watched at least 50 other videos too, and no one has laid it all out like this. I really appreciate all the work you did for this video, and you’re an excellent teacher. This saved me at least $400 that I was looking at paying for an image consultant. 👏🏼 ❤
I agree with your conclusion. Plus, the commenters who think you are summer, their screens may be showing the colors slightly different than my screen(s) and what you see in real life. For example, I paused the video on 23:15 and both the swatch cards look greener and softer on my iPhone compared to bluer and brighter on my iPad.
Yes - I agree that there might be some discrepancies with people’s screens. HOWEVER I’m starting to think there might be something to this whole Summer Cool thing that people are noticing. Either way, I’m going to be on the border of summer/winter, but maybe I can steal more from summer than I originally thought. Personally, I think my best colors are probably somewhere in between the two…
@@studiobonvon If you are on the border between 2 cool sub seasons, do you really have to choose? Why not pick your favorite and occasionally borrow from your second choice? At least they are both cool!
@@studiobonvonmy mom is like this and her coloring is similar to yours. She looks best in the more intense Summer colors or the softer winter colors. Somewhere in there.
I agree that Winter Cool suits you! You definitely seem to border Summer Cool. I think overall Summer is a bit too light and wouldn't fit as your season, but your ideal shades might be the lighter end of Winter and the Darker end of Summer.
Yes! I am Cool winter borderline with deep winter and Pine green is the worst for me in my palette while cobalt is my best color. She is the opposite but I agree she is a winter after all.
@@Arty_Crumbs I agree! I think she did the best she could with 16 seasons, but there's a lot of disagreement in the comments so one of the extended palettes between summer and winter would likely be the ideal fit.
Maybe I'm biased, but I really think you are more a summer than a winter. I believe the softer tones are giving more "richness" to your skin. But, in the end, we need to wear clothes that we like in colors that please us :-). You definitely deserve more attention and more like, your videos are entertaining, crafty and well thought! It is nice to see a real design process.
@@cassandrabrecht8974 Yes, that's how she made the error. Skin comes first. The intense winter colors were too dark for her skin. My eyes also pop with intense Winter colors, but I'm a Light Spring. Some professionals say cover the eyes when you do the analysis, because blue eyes in particular are misleading.
Agree. I was going to say, unless it was an engagement item, don't give back gifts unless it has sentimental value to him like it was his mom's jewellery.
It's really disrespectful and weak of him to ask for them to get back.. Otherwise if I was asked something like it I wouldn't want to keep it either because I wouldn't want to keep wearing a gift from such a disrespectful person.. also I would think about him each time I'm wearing it so... Not a fun thing 😄🤷
Came to the comments to say this exact same thing. The price doesn't matter, asking for gifts back it's beyond rude. He doesn't even deserve an answer.
My husband’s x (before we were married) asked for anything she ever gave him back. It wasn’t much, but one thing was a model ship in a bottle, like what in the world was she gonna do with it? It was from a vacation they went on, nothing special.
Your explanation in the beginning was so much easier to understand than any of the others I've watched. And watching you go through the analysis was really interesting. I'm going to give it a go. I've never been able to quite figure out what actually looks good on me Also, you have really nice skin and I think you're quite pretty without makeup. You have nice contrast in your features and makeup isn't necessary to accentuate them. Just my opinion tho
Oh thank you so much for saying so 😭 Really glad to hear you found this helpful! Find me on Insta @studiobonvon if you’d like to share your results, I’d love to see how it works for you 👀
I also think this method is going to be far more productive for me than the "vein" test--I can never tell just looking at my skin against white paper or looking at veins.
For what its worth, I agree with your assessment! It's pretty clear. Also, I think it's interesting that you chose colors for your studio that harmonize with your own coloring. I think it's pretty common for people to gravitate to their best colors.
The paint chip idea is GENIUS. I’m already pretty certain of my season (via draping with clothes stolen from my husband and children 🤣), but I will absolutely be doing this anyway and setting up a little kit to analyze all my friends 😆 I just adore colors, literally wrote a thesis on color theory in college (which I’m now realizing is longer ago than I think it is), this is the obvious next step on my color-obsessed journey.
Why thank you! I still haven’t done this (we recently sold our second vehicle, so finding a time to sneak off to the hardware store is more difficult than it once was). But I’m still planning to!
I've been borderline obsessed with color season theory for years now, and recently had a suspicion that my first analysis was wrong. I'm going to the hardware store to get the swatches today!! 😅 THANK YOU for this in depth, extremely professional and easy to follow video. This has been the most helpful of any other color analysis info I've found on the internet in 3 years of searching!!
I read the book "Color Me Beautiful" back when I was a teenager, and it was the best in explaining color theory - but this video is excellent in its explanation! 👏🏽
There's a mistake at 6:50--cool and warm blue are switched in the text. Teal/turquoise is considered a warm blue (with yellow in it). That purplish/royal blue is considered cool in color analysis.
She also said this at 8:24. She seems to be pretty convinced on the matter. But it seems completely wrong based on everything else she’s said. I’m confused.
Maybe because red is considered warmer than yellow, and the purplish blue has more red in it, while the turquoise has more yellow. But the turquoise is closest to the warm side of the spectrum, and all the other colors operate on the principle that the closer it is to the warm side, the warmer the color.
@@studiobonvonI agree with @fiberandfox - this feels like a comprehensive course. But it is not just because of the info. It’s also because of your process. You take time to explain your journey through comments along the way. You ask questions, then answer them, the look at it a different way, then ask another question. Yet you always get to a decision you can defend and don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis. So the video feels like it can be a guide for my own questions.
@@studiobonvon Hello, Please can you tell me how you knew which colours to choose from Home Depot for your analysis. I would not know which ones to include as there are so many that are so similar, how did you whittle it down to those colours. Is there a guide somewhere that told you which pantone colours were correct? Thankyou.
I believe you're Summer Cool rather than Winter Cool. Summer Cool is medium intensity which in my opinion is what threw you off in the intensity phase of the analysis. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Color Analysis Studio on RUclips has some really great in-depth analyis videos that use the same method you use with drapes (going from undertone to inensity to subgroup).
The soft lavender eyeshadow and soft pink lipstick in her thrift video looked amazing. Same with the lilac shirt she wore in her thrift-flip. Color analysis is a spectrum, so as @comediancircus said she could be a “deeper” cool summer that is closer to winter but not quite a winter.
@@Squishbiscuits Exactly, the spectrum is a key concept to know. I did in person analysis, i'm a cool winter slightly softer, i'm just so happy of knowing my colours.
Even from the beginning of this video, I imagined those clear bright "jewel" colors on you, and knew right away that you are a "winter"! Amazing video, you are a very thorough and systematic person who does in-depth research for the subject. And you are able to make complex things looking fun and easy! Kudos, I am sure you will be able to follow your calling of an artist with great success in the future.
I’ve been obsessed with colour analysis for years and consumed way too much content on it but this was one of the most thorough and easy to follow videos I’ve seen. Thank you! Excited to see your upcoming content with your winter cool colours! 😁
I'd say you are more of a cool summer over cool winter, but since they are neighbors it doesn't really matter. I found my colors by comparing myself to the celebrities given as an example and then went by textbook definition. I narrowed it to cool, but from veins figured I'm more neutral cool and from there it was pretty easy to land at soft summer(only summer palette I'm ok with too😂). I borrow from soft autumn also a bit
25:32 this middle shade of blue/green is definitely the best of you from my pov. The more intense one I agree that is a more beautiful shade, but I definitely notice the swatch before I notice your eyes with that one.
this is the first color analysis that I completely understood and therefore was able to match your conclusions. appreciate that you took your time showing all the colors and flipping between them as it helped me separate the bias I had toward colors I just generally prefer from what actually looks good in this specific context. finally feel like I could actually try this for myself!
Definitely a cool summer, even your hair and skin has some grey to it, and summer cool is the most intense out of the summer palette, although you're definitely close to winter. I think everything of the summer cool palette looked amazing on you (except for the really light ones), but only a few softer cool winter colors looked good. The shirt you were wearing at the end looks stunning on you. In case you prefer winter, makeup (blush, lipstick. mascara) helps to increase intensity. Great video by the way!
Had to come down to the comments to say WOW this was such a well made and detailed video. I learnt way more about colour theory as well as how it applies to fashion/clothing than any other video. Plus, you're such a lovely and genuine person! 100% a great find in the depths of RUclips. Can't wait to try this myself. Keep up the great work!!!!
During all your winter evaluation I was feeling like you were lacking some softer colors and then you got into summer cool and it was crystal clear for me that you were a WINTER-cool/summer-cool. Great video
You could look into "Soft Winter". It's an additional to the 12 seasonal colors for winters that are slightly softer but not quite summer soft. It's a little controversial but it doesn't hurt to check it out
This was one of the best and most thorough RUclips videos I have ever seen. It was so thoughtfully made to be such a great tutorial. You make a great teacher. I had already done my own colour analysis with paint chips from the hardware store so when it was recommended I didn't think I would get much but it was great. Those days at the deli are numbered ;)
This has been the best color analysis video I've watched to date and I've watched way more than is sane. You did a University level amazing job. Thank you.
The color basics part of this video is sooo good. I knew all the things already, but only because I spend a lot of time figuring it out and I love how you talk about all the ifs and buts that in other videos are usually left out and leave you feeling like the story is incomplete and that you still have so many questions. Very well done!
This was so fun! My husband’s coloring is similar to yours, dark hair and blue eyes, but his skin color is deeper than yours and eye color more intense. I agree with your analysis. Because your contrast is greater than his, the saturation of the colors makes a difference. He can wear the darker colors that overwhelm your coloring. This was so interesting to me! I think you should use your cool summer colors in accessories, like dots of color in a scarf. As for me, I am an autumn, and I prefer the deeper colors, but I never did an analysis to the degree that you have done. I might just try it!
Thank you so much for this! I always knew I was an autumn, but now I realized I’m a warm autum. This explains why I was also drawn to some of the colors in warm spring! ☺️👏🫶
I've watched sooo many videos to figure out my color season, many with comments saying it was the easiest video to follow. Finally, I agree with people saying THIS video is the best and easiest! I now confirmed I'm a soft summer, thats why soft autum colors look good on me too. That really confused me many times and made me think i was an autumn even though silver looks best on me. Now i understand how the middle seasons can share the opposite middle season. Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you! I love that you included your thought process for each and every color swatch. You've given me the confidence to go out and try this myself.
This was a fun video to watch! ☺️ I have a BFA and I think you are a summer. I also work for House of Colour, we do color analysis and in our system if you are cool toned and black is too harsh for you, that typically makes you a summer. But it’s important to wear whatever colors make you happy! ☺️
Thank you, this presentation was great! I did colour analysis for several years back in the 80s when it was very popular. I guessed before you got into it that you were a winter, but wasn’t 100% sure about the subgroup. But after seeing the comparisons, I agree with your conclusion that you are most definitely a winter cool. The summer cool colours look good too, but not as amazing as the winter cool which really showcases your own natural colouring and beauty. Incidentally, this is also my season and subgroup (though my skin is, sadly, paler than yours), now that I have returned to my natural hair colour (which is pretty much the same colour as yours). While I was trying on life as a blonde, I looked better in summer cool.
This was fascinating to watch. And another case of how different screens may change things as I consistently thought the warm looked better where the cool washed you out
I think the light coming from her left side also changed the way colours looked. Eg when she tested her gold jewellery, she always turned her face sideways away from the light casting a shadow - which then made silver look better when she turned towards the light. But nevertheless screen colour could be different.
for a second there i truly thought you'd end up TRUE WINTER but then comparing your sister / sub categories really shown a light on the COOL WINTER analysis. so well done. so excellent. great advice. sending this to my friends
This is all fascinating. They all had an impact, but I really cannot get over the comparison of the two blush pinks. When you lifted the warm pink and revealed the cool pink you POPPED like you got so vibrant and harmonious. This is an awesome demonstration, really well done!
Wow! Thank you so much! I did the same process and was able to determine that was an autumn deep and love that I can use winter deep at times. Thank you!! Saved me $200
Really interesting! Thank you for the in depth analysis. The idea of taking a swatch of my best colors whenever I go shopping would really help me cut down on the time it takes to find the right things. Great idea!
Wow! I am also an artist and love color and color analysis, but haven’t had the motivation to jump in the way you did 😅 I appreciate it so much, especially because I have struggled really pinpointing my own color analysis!
This was a brilliant method! I was analysed as 'Cool Summer' by Carol Brailey. Sitting right in between Summer/Winter. I know other analysts call it 'Dark Summer.' I grew out my natural hair, which is 10% grey hair and 90% cool mid-dark brown. Very similar eye and skin colour to yours (Irish/English heritage). Great channel, thanks 😊
And a separate thank you for your efforts to highlight a corresponding wheel section simultaniously when talking/showing each color. That made a huge difference!
I've been wanting a cor analysis, but I definitely can't afford a professional one. Even the drapes are out of my price range. This is such a great way to do it that I hadnt even considered. Also, I think you're a cool summet based on what I see when you did the analysis. I think thats one of the reasons you really like it. I think your hair being dark makes you think you're more intense, but your skin/eyes aren't intense and fall under summer for sure.
I’m going with cool summer. Your intensity and contrast are not high enough for winter. But cool summer is the closest to winter so that’s what you are seeing. Kaya Scodelario, Emily Blunt, Bianca Balti are all cool summers.
Oh! As a MUA, I was shocked when you said "This is not my best side" (golden earring, I assume it' s not mirrored so your actual left). Almost 100% of people prefer the face side where their eye + brow is placed higher. (Fun fact: ±80% is left / ±20% is right and it comes from the sphenoid bone' s tilt) but you didn' t. Your brain seems to prioritize and love the bigger eye and more spaceful lid instead. You belong to the majority (80% of "facial lefties") and to the minority (size over obliquity) at the same time😅. Professional deformation at its finest, can' t help. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
proceeded to look through my selfies and yep - all are at least slightly favoring the left of my face. also the side I chose for my nose ring. thanks for the stats and facts! my life makes sense now.
This is fascinating, my left brow and eye is higher but I prefer the right side of my face. In fact, if I see the left side of my face in photos, I feel like it doesn't even look like me. I have a beauty mark on my right cheek that I've had since I was 4yrs old and that's just how I picture my face. Without it, it doesn't feel like me, so I prefer that side even though it's my low brow side.
This is so interesting! I tend to favor my right side in photos because I have a cowlick and have to part my hair on that side, so it feels heavy if I pose left side forward. Unfortunately, I always get a better blend of my makeup when I do my left side as opposed to my right so I'm also always putting my "worst" side forward makeup wise. Lol
Ma'am! The detail and time you are putting into these videos!! I feel like I'm spamming my girl group chat with them at this point. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
Tour Process was so thorough anni create. I’ve watched many colour analysis videos and yet this one managed to win my undivided attention. Yay Winter cool!
Love your video and how you went step by step and explained. It was easy to understand and a good “ visual “ way to see the differences in cool/ warm undertones.
I am twenty minutes in, and I was extremely skeptical of this "color theory" nonsense, honestly thought it was a bit silly. I prefer just to wear whatever colors I like... until I realized that I'm pretty sure I was, and am, selecting my favorite colors based on this color theory in my head. Color me impressed (ha!) I am totally starting to get why people do this. It's a great reference point. And you can make and break these rules as you please, I'm sure. I agree with you on the brighter colors in the intensity test. While my eyes are drawn to the brighter colors, they immediately go to the rest of your face, and everything is very vibrant and fun to look at. Whereas the dull color I go to your face because there is nowhere else to go. And even then it's not asking me to stay.
Haha I’m glad to hear that this convinced you! 😂 I think you’re right about breaking the rules too - I’m going to try to bring in other colors that aren’t “technically” part of my palette but I think will work. As they say…you have to know the rules in order to break them though!! I was skeptical when I first came across it too, but coming from an art background I knew how important color theory can be and how the right colors (at least in art) can make a HUGE difference, so I stuck with it and I’m glad I did 😉
Before beginning the analysis, I initially thought you matched the "summer" profile. However, during the analysis (before the sub-season), I started to lean towards "summer cool." I believe you have a medium level of intensity. This was a very good video overall. As a bright winter, people's reactions towards the vibrant colours always amuse me.I don't see many examples of people in bright palettes. Unfortunately, when I do see them, they are usually Spring types or celebrities (so unverified).
You deserve so much appreciation for this amazing video 👏👏👏 I have been watching colour analysis videos for YEARS and still didn't quite get how to find your subgroup and had trouble identifying some warm and cool shades. Not anymore. Your video helped me more than anything else and i want to thank you for all the effort you put into it. Just watching you go along with your analysis and the thought process really taught me a lot. I feel so much more confident now - THANK YOU ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I just did a color analysis on myself with the paint chips, and it turns out I'm a Cool Summer 👀😱. I'm utterly shocked and yet it makes so much since. I had thought going into it I was Soft Summer, but no. If that was the case, Soft Autumn would be my second best season, but Winter Cool works much better. I had no idea I was so cool. I have a slight yellow overtone that's been confusing me for years. But now that I see it, I can't un-see it.
This video was so amazing and well done I had to comment twice. I’ve been watching so many color analysis videos but this was by far the best. I feel like the others stop short of making it possible to do it for yourself
Excellent video. I think it's funny how we can see the colors in others (I knew you were a winter immediately) but so difficult to see it in ourselves. This is a great and inexpensive way to experiment. Thanks for the great video.
Glad you found it helpful!! ✨ I actually thought I was a summer originally, and I probably could have figured out winter pretty easily, but it’s the subgroups that I really had no clue about
I think you're a cool summer, your eyes are very grayed & your lips have softness in them (and blend into your skin tone), your skin isn't crisp and clear like a winters, it has an ashy quality. True summer has quite bright colours, the ones you held up for summer were more soft summer, which is too gray for you. The winter colours don't seem to make your eyes pop or bring out their colour as the right colours would. The black eyeliner feels intense and distracting too! However your blended lip look looks wonderful
I loved this video! From start to finish, you really broke this process down into easy, understandable steps, and loved how you finished it with the adorable keyring swatches! And you are gorgeous in that orchid top! Thank you so much for sharing!
Blacks really don't tend to work for summers but it looks good on winters. Turquoise works for everyone. The colour of the clothes you are wearing are summer. I think you're a cool summer.
I love the summer cool colors on you. But both the winter and summer cools are beautiful on you. Your face just really shines and pops with summer cool to me. The mauve 😍 and navy 😍
I think you're wrong about blue. It may be true in colour theory that red is pure warm, but in skin colour analysis, orange is pure warm (also why there's no cool orange, while there is a cool red). The opposite of orange is indigo. Cooler blue is closer to indigo, and warmer blue is further towards indigo, trending towards green. This fits with the seasons. An autumn or spring is going to have an easier time wearing a tealy blue because it harmonises with the golden tones in their skin.
Agreed. People get too stuck on an individual colour, whereas a season is a pallette and a type of harmony of all its colours taken together, basically all colours within a season should match, and the artistic ways of finding harmonious colours (opposites, triangles, squares on the colour wheel) will inevitably (especially if you are a high contrast season) get you to a colour that is not strictly your season. Colour analysis is a more empiric tool, some things are just observable facts and still waiting for the theory to catch up)
Yes - I definitely made a mistake with the blues here. I have an art background so I was applying traditional color theory here - i.e. warm blue = more purple, cool blue = more green. But I'm learning that it's the opposite in color analysis, which makes perfect sense!
One of the best colour analysis videos I've seen so far! You were able to explain how undertone doesn't change, while intensity/contrast does. This is especially relevant for people who have gone grey. Similarly, I appreciated that you showed that the hair needs to be covered for undertone, but should be out for intensity/contrast.
I just came across your channel. You look stunning and I really loved your analytical and creative approach in this video. I did not know about the free paint chips in hardware stores, I'll look for them! Moreover the color palette booklet is SO CUTE! I am still figuring out about the colors that work best for me, I did a partial professional analysis ending up being Spring. Fine, but I love bright cool tones, now I understand more why, probably being bright and stealing from Winter Bright! Thank you for sharing and good look for your career here on RUclips!
I think OP is a Summer. IMO ppl put too much emphasis on hair colour as a decider of sub-season when your natural hair colour can be relative (eg. you think it's super dark because it's darker than a light/medium, but it's not actually that dark compared to black) and can be the odd feature out that is dissonant with the rest of you and wrong for your season. Maybe the camera setting is too desaturated creating this impression, but look at OP's muted eye colour, soft eyebrows, grey pigments in the skin and lips. I feel like she would have to paint on some serious brows / black mascara / bold lip & blush to pass as a bright winter, which shouldn't be the case if it's the right season. Inverse of this would be like if someone with electric blue eyes, naturally pigmented lips, dewy skin and strong eyebrows was like 'so I must be a soft because I have mousy brown hair.' If every feature but one is pointing in the same direction, you should follow that and ignore the odd one out imo. When OP put their down and started talking about winters, I thought 'but if you got a buzzcut, your basis for believing that would vanish; that shouldn't be possible, since season comes from underlying skin pigments, which don't change.'
I am amazed at how fun this ended up being! I can already tell that I'm a deep winter from this. I scrutinize the hell out of every colour I wear already and winter deep/autumn deep (sans orange) always works for me. Even my family mentions it. Algorithm gave me an early Christmas present today! 🎉
I think summer cool looks better for you. It brightens up your complexion. I feel like winter cool drags you down a little bit. I have heard before that it is better to have someone else do your analysis bc you will always be biased. You may gravitate toward a certain color but color analysis should be based on what it does to your skin and not based on how much you like the color. Excellent video. Thanks so much.
Great job, very informative and clear explanation thank you so much! ❤️. I would love if you made a video and took us shopping with you, or on how you choose clothes based on your colour palette and it would also be great if you do an analysis of hair colour.
Ooh you should get a virtual analysis with Carol Bradley to see if you got this right. I think cool is definitely right for you. My hunch is that you might be cool summer. Summers can have much darker hair than people think!
This was an amazing explanation of color theory. I love the idea of using the paint chips! Thank you for all of your work in this video! The undertone test screamed cool the entire way through. It was very interesting how much the cool just popped and made you glow. The darker pink perfectly matched your lips and the lighter pink you could see in the undertone of your skin. I think your most noticeable trait is cool. I liked the cool summer on you just a bit better than the cool winter. To me the slightly softer colors enhanced your features more, while the winter colors pulled away from them ever so slightly. Either way they both looked fab on you!
Interesting! Before I did the test my guess was that I would be a summer, but testing the other subgroups and stuff…they’re just way too light for me. However…I think there are some secret colors in-between summer and winter that I’m going to try to find…!
This is as well made as a skillshare class. Wow
Haha thank you 😊✨
💯🎯 exactly! Agreed
For real though!
great idea!!!
Agreed!!!

@@user-nb2sn6id4r then dont make gifts you can't aford or willing to lose, idk
@@user-nb2sn6id4rno, no one should be giving gifts thinking they will take that back later. Gift is a gift and changing your mind just makes you vicious. No matter why you changed your mind.

@@user-nb2sn6id4r Then he should NOT have given them to her. A gift is a gift.
As an artist I have an entire shoebox of paint chips. I always collect them for paper art. I should make myself a color guide for shopping.
They are such a great material for artists…I always feel inspired just looking at them
@@studiobonvon exactly! I think I’m a summer. Cool but muted. So soft summer or true summer maybe. I haven’t had my colors done, but I gravitate to the same colors all my life it seems.
TRULY the absolute BEST video I have ever seen on this color theory and how to efficiently and accurately test yourself. Thank you so much for putting this together. I have watched at least 50 other videos too, and no one has laid it all out like this. I really appreciate all the work you did for this video, and you’re an excellent teacher. This saved me at least $400 that I was looking at paying for an image consultant. 👏🏼 ❤
I agree with your conclusion. Plus, the commenters who think you are summer, their screens may be showing the colors slightly different than my screen(s) and what you see in real life. For example, I paused the video on 23:15 and both the swatch cards look greener and softer on my iPhone compared to bluer and brighter on my iPad.
Yes - I agree that there might be some discrepancies with people’s screens. HOWEVER I’m starting to think there might be something to this whole Summer Cool thing that people are noticing. Either way, I’m going to be on the border of summer/winter, but maybe I can steal more from summer than I originally thought. Personally, I think my best colors are probably somewhere in between the two…
@@studiobonvonor you could be a true cool maybe which is halfway between winter/summer 😊 just a though❤
@@studiobonvon If you are on the border between 2 cool sub seasons, do you really have to choose? Why not pick your favorite and occasionally borrow from your second choice? At least they are both cool!
@@studiobonvonmy mom is like this and her coloring is similar to yours. She looks best in the more intense Summer colors or the softer winter colors. Somewhere in there.
@@studiobonvonyes! You might be a "flow" season that is just considered Cool :) ... in between the two!
I agree that Winter Cool suits you! You definitely seem to border Summer Cool. I think overall Summer is a bit too light and wouldn't fit as your season, but your ideal shades might be the lighter end of Winter and the Darker end of Summer.
I think she is Summer Cool, it is more harmonious.
Yes! I am Cool winter borderline with deep winter and Pine green is the worst for me in my palette while cobalt is my best color. She is the opposite but I agree she is a winter after all.
She could also be one of those 4 additional seasons in the 20-season system, like soft winter or deep summer
@@Arty_Crumbs I agree! I think she did the best she could with 16 seasons, but there's a lot of disagreement in the comments so one of the extended palettes between summer and winter would likely be the ideal fit.
You seem more summer cool to me.
Maybe I'm biased, but I really think you are more a summer than a winter. I believe the softer tones are giving more "richness" to your skin. But, in the end, we need to wear clothes that we like in colors that please us :-). You definitely deserve more attention and more like, your videos are entertaining, crafty and well thought! It is nice to see a real design process.
I feel the same!
I disagree...her eyes totally popped with the Winter colors.
@@cassandrabrecht8974 Yes, that's how she made the error. Skin comes first. The intense winter colors were too dark for her skin. My eyes also pop with intense Winter colors, but I'm a Light Spring. Some professionals say cover the eyes when you do the analysis, because blue eyes in particular are misleading.
@@cassandrabrecht8974her skin was also brighter with winter but she has summer influences so I think cool winter 😊
@@headintheforest can you please explain what was way better?
Unless it's a family heirloom, don't give it back to him
A gift is a gift no matter how he feels about you now
Correct x
Agree. I was going to say, unless it was an engagement item, don't give back gifts unless it has sentimental value to him like it was his mom's jewellery.
It's really disrespectful and weak of him to ask for them to get back..
Otherwise if I was asked something like it I wouldn't want to keep it either because I wouldn't want to keep wearing a gift from such a disrespectful person.. also I would think about him each time I'm wearing it so... Not a fun thing 😄🤷
Came to the comments to say this exact same thing. The price doesn't matter, asking for gifts back it's beyond rude. He doesn't even deserve an answer.
My husband’s x (before we were married) asked for anything she ever gave him back. It wasn’t much, but one thing was a model ship in a bottle, like what in the world was she gonna do with it? It was from a vacation they went on, nothing special.
Your explanation in the beginning was so much easier to understand than any of the others I've watched. And watching you go through the analysis was really interesting. I'm going to give it a go. I've never been able to quite figure out what actually looks good on me
Also, you have really nice skin and I think you're quite pretty without makeup. You have nice contrast in your features and makeup isn't necessary to accentuate them. Just my opinion tho
Oh thank you so much for saying so 😭 Really glad to hear you found this helpful! Find me on Insta @studiobonvon if you’d like to share your results, I’d love to see how it works for you 👀
I would say very pretty, without makeup!
I also think this method is going to be far more productive for me than the "vein" test--I can never tell just looking at my skin against white paper or looking at veins.
Wow. I think a trip to Home Depot is in my future. Thanks for explaining it so concisely!
Absolutely!!! So glad to hear you’re gonna give it a go!! 🎨
me too but not sure how to choose the pallets
For what its worth, I agree with your assessment! It's pretty clear. Also, I think it's interesting that you chose colors for your studio that harmonize with your own coloring. I think it's pretty common for people to gravitate to their best colors.
The paint chip idea is GENIUS. I’m already pretty certain of my season (via draping with clothes stolen from my husband and children 🤣), but I will absolutely be doing this anyway and setting up a little kit to analyze all my friends 😆
I just adore colors, literally wrote a thesis on color theory in college (which I’m now realizing is longer ago than I think it is), this is the obvious next step on my color-obsessed journey.
I freaking love you enthusiasm and vibe!
Why thank you!
I still haven’t done this (we recently sold our second vehicle, so finding a time to sneak off to the hardware store is more difficult than it once was). But I’m still planning to!
I've been borderline obsessed with color season theory for years now, and recently had a suspicion that my first analysis was wrong. I'm going to the hardware store to get the swatches today!! 😅 THANK YOU for this in depth, extremely professional and easy to follow video. This has been the most helpful of any other color analysis info I've found on the internet in 3 years of searching!!
I read the book "Color Me Beautiful" back when I was a teenager, and it was the best in explaining color theory - but this video is excellent in its explanation! 👏🏽
There's a mistake at 6:50--cool and warm blue are switched in the text. Teal/turquoise is considered a warm blue (with yellow in it). That purplish/royal blue is considered cool in color analysis.
She also said this at 8:24. She seems to be pretty convinced on the matter. But it seems completely wrong based on everything else she’s said. I’m confused.
Maybe because red is considered warmer than yellow, and the purplish blue has more red in it, while the turquoise has more yellow. But the turquoise is closest to the warm side of the spectrum, and all the other colors operate on the principle that the closer it is to the warm side, the warmer the color.
WOWW!!1 The way that the darkness under your eyes just vanished as soon as you pulled away the gold swatch was crazy!!!! :o
No need to apologize for no makeup, I didn't realize you weren't wearing any because you already look beautiful.
@@brookewebley4932 I I agree, thought she had light makeup on.
All women are already beautiful without makeup.
Men need makeup to be beautiful though
This was like a comprehensive course! Great job on clearly explaining this & love the paint chip concept!
Thank you!! I was worried it would be too technical and dry, but I really wanted to make a good reference guide that people could come back to 👩🏻🎓
@@studiobonvonI agree with @fiberandfox - this feels like a comprehensive course. But it is not just because of the info. It’s also because of your process. You take time to explain your journey through comments along the way. You ask questions, then answer them, the look at it a different way, then ask another question. Yet you always get to a decision you can defend and don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis. So the video feels like it can be a guide for my own questions.
@@studiobonvon Hello, Please can you tell me how you knew which colours to choose from Home Depot for your analysis. I would not know which ones to include as there are so many that are so similar, how did you whittle it down to those colours. Is there a guide somewhere that told you which pantone colours were correct? Thankyou.
I believe you're Summer Cool rather than Winter Cool. Summer Cool is medium intensity which in my opinion is what threw you off in the intensity phase of the analysis. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Color Analysis Studio on RUclips has some really great in-depth analyis videos that use the same method you use with drapes (going from undertone to inensity to subgroup).
I agree with you
I definitely agree. Winter blue made her disappear and the summer blue brought her back into focus.
Agreed
The soft lavender eyeshadow and soft pink lipstick in her thrift video looked amazing. Same with the lilac shirt she wore in her thrift-flip. Color analysis is a spectrum, so as @comediancircus said she could be a “deeper” cool summer that is closer to winter but not quite a winter.
@@Squishbiscuits Exactly, the spectrum is a key concept to know. I did in person analysis, i'm a cool winter slightly softer, i'm just so happy of knowing my colours.
Even from the beginning of this video, I imagined those clear bright "jewel" colors on you, and knew right away that you are a "winter"! Amazing video, you are a very thorough and systematic person who does in-depth research for the subject. And you are able to make complex things looking fun and easy! Kudos, I am sure you will be able to follow your calling of an artist with great success in the future.
She was easy to see as a clear winter for sure. Lucky to not be an olive because that's a beast when trying to find colors.
I’ve been obsessed with colour analysis for years and consumed way too much content on it but this was one of the most thorough and easy to follow videos I’ve seen. Thank you! Excited to see your upcoming content with your winter cool colours! 😁
Oh my gosh, thank you for saying so!! 🤗 And yes, expect lots of winter cool sewing projects from this point on 😄
I'd say you are more of a cool summer over cool winter, but since they are neighbors it doesn't really matter. I found my colors by comparing myself to the celebrities given as an example and then went by textbook definition. I narrowed it to cool, but from veins figured I'm more neutral cool and from there it was pretty easy to land at soft summer(only summer palette I'm ok with too😂). I borrow from soft autumn also a bit
25:32 this middle shade of blue/green is definitely the best of you from my pov. The more intense one I agree that is a more beautiful shade, but I definitely notice the swatch before I notice your eyes with that one.
Oh my gosh, I totally agree. I love that color!
this is the first color analysis that I completely understood and therefore was able to match your conclusions. appreciate that you took your time showing all the colors and flipping between them as it helped me separate the bias I had toward colors I just generally prefer from what actually looks good in this specific context. finally feel like I could actually try this for myself!
Definitely a cool summer, even your hair and skin has some grey to it, and summer cool is the most intense out of the summer palette, although you're definitely close to winter.
I think everything of the summer cool palette looked amazing on you (except for the really light ones), but only a few softer cool winter colors looked good. The shirt you were wearing at the end looks stunning on you. In case you prefer winter, makeup (blush, lipstick. mascara) helps to increase intensity.
Great video by the way!
New Subbie based on your color chip short !! BRILLIANT !!! Definitely going to Depot to get some Paint Chips ASAP !!
Finally I found someone doing this who has my coloring! Thank you. This solidified my pallete for me!
You’re so welcome 😊
Had to come down to the comments to say WOW this was such a well made and detailed video. I learnt way more about colour theory as well as how it applies to fashion/clothing than any other video. Plus, you're such a lovely and genuine person! 100% a great find in the depths of RUclips. Can't wait to try this myself. Keep up the great work!!!!
During all your winter evaluation I was feeling like you were lacking some softer colors and then you got into summer cool and it was crystal clear for me that you were a WINTER-cool/summer-cool. Great video
Thanks! This was so helpful. And you are STUNNING without makeup.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much!!! 🤗🌷 This is officially my first Super Thanks! Thank you so much for your support and the kind words 😊
You could look into "Soft Winter". It's an additional to the 12 seasonal colors for winters that are slightly softer but not quite summer soft.
It's a little controversial but it doesn't hurt to check it out
The cool colours brightens your skin
This was one of the best and most thorough RUclips videos I have ever seen. It was so thoughtfully made to be such a great tutorial. You make a great teacher. I had already done my own colour analysis with paint chips from the hardware store so when it was recommended I didn't think I would get much but it was great. Those days at the deli are numbered ;)
This has been the best color analysis video I've watched to date and I've watched way more than is sane. You did a University level amazing job. Thank you.
I genuinely thought you looked way better in the warm colours at the beginning 😂
yoooo right??!! i was humbled!! once she explained it, i got it 🎉
Same!!
No - I was on the cool side from the start.
The line from nose to mouth is much deeper with the warm colours!
Me too!
You are definitely a WINTER! The vibrant colours complement you much more than the less intense cool shades. ❤
The color basics part of this video is sooo good. I knew all the things already, but only because I spend a lot of time figuring it out and I love how you talk about all the ifs and buts that in other videos are usually left out and leave you feeling like the story is incomplete and that you still have so many questions. Very well done!
This was great! way more helpful than some of the other DIY color analysis videos I've watched!
This was so fun! My husband’s coloring is similar to yours, dark hair and blue eyes, but his skin color is deeper than yours and eye color more intense. I agree with your analysis. Because your contrast is greater than his, the saturation of the colors makes a difference. He can wear the darker colors that overwhelm your coloring. This was so interesting to me! I think you should use your cool summer colors in accessories, like dots of color in a scarf. As for me, I am an autumn, and I prefer the deeper colors, but I never did an analysis to the degree that you have done. I might just try it!
Such a graceful genuine way of telling us to like the video
This is so well done! Bravo and thank you for sharing this gem. 💎
I have watched a lot of color analysis videos and this is one of the tops. Thank you so much! I love it.
Thank you so much for this! I always knew I was an autumn, but now I realized I’m a warm autum. This explains why I was also drawn to some of the colors in warm spring! ☺️👏🫶
You are so welcome 🤗 I’m so happy to hear this helped you find your subgroup!! 🍂🌞
I've watched sooo many videos to figure out my color season, many with comments saying it was the easiest video to follow. Finally, I agree with people saying THIS video is the best and easiest! I now confirmed I'm a soft summer, thats why soft autum colors look good on me too. That really confused me many times and made me think i was an autumn even though silver looks best on me. Now i understand how the middle seasons can share the opposite middle season. Thank you so much for this video!
This is the clearest explanation of color theory and analysis I've seen. Great job.
I loved your color journey, much more affordable than a color consult. The little book is so cute!
Thank you! 🤗🌸
Thank you! I love that you included your thought process for each and every color swatch. You've given me the confidence to go out and try this myself.
This was a fun video to watch! ☺️ I have a BFA and I think you are a summer. I also work for House of Colour, we do color analysis and in our system if you are cool toned and black is too harsh for you, that typically makes you a summer. But it’s important to wear whatever colors make you happy! ☺️
Thank you, this presentation was great! I did colour analysis for several years back in the 80s when it was very popular. I guessed before you got into it that you were a winter, but wasn’t 100% sure about the subgroup. But after seeing the comparisons, I agree with your conclusion that you are most definitely a winter cool. The summer cool colours look good too, but not as amazing as the winter cool which really showcases your own natural colouring and beauty. Incidentally, this is also my season and subgroup (though my skin is, sadly, paler than yours), now that I have returned to my natural hair colour (which is pretty much the same colour as yours). While I was trying on life as a blonde, I looked better in summer cool.
This was fascinating to watch. And another case of how different screens may change things as I consistently thought the warm looked better where the cool washed you out
I think the light coming from her left side also changed the way colours looked. Eg when she tested her gold jewellery, she always turned her face sideways away from the light casting a shadow - which then made silver look better when she turned towards the light. But nevertheless screen colour could be different.
for a second there i truly thought you'd end up TRUE WINTER but then comparing your sister / sub categories really shown a light on the COOL WINTER analysis. so well done. so excellent. great advice. sending this to my friends
This is all fascinating. They all had an impact, but I really cannot get over the comparison of the two blush pinks. When you lifted the warm pink and revealed the cool pink you POPPED like you got so vibrant and harmonious. This is an awesome demonstration, really well done!
Thank you! Great explanation and fun to see you go through the process.
Great video! Very well executed explanation. Thanks for your content. (Also, who asks for a gift back? ….so petty!)
This was the best breakdown/explanation ever!!! Thank you 😊
Definitely cool summer.
Hands down the most thorough and well explained video on color analysis I’ve seen and I’ve gone down that rabbit hole too
Wow! Thank you so much! I did the same process and was able to determine that was an autumn deep and love that I can use winter deep at times. Thank you!! Saved me $200
Really interesting! Thank you for the in depth analysis. The idea of taking a swatch of my best colors whenever I go shopping would really help me cut down on the time it takes to find the right things. Great idea!
Wow! I am also an artist and love color and color analysis, but haven’t had the motivation to jump in the way you did 😅 I appreciate it so much, especially because I have struggled really pinpointing my own color analysis!
The level of energy this video took is amazing. Thank you so much. I have watched sooooo many videos and this is the 1st time I undearstood
This was a brilliant method! I was analysed as 'Cool Summer' by Carol Brailey. Sitting right in between Summer/Winter. I know other analysts call it 'Dark Summer.' I grew out my natural hair, which is 10% grey hair and 90% cool mid-dark brown. Very similar eye and skin colour to yours (Irish/English heritage). Great channel, thanks 😊
And a separate thank you for your efforts to highlight a corresponding wheel section simultaniously when talking/showing each color. That made a huge difference!
I've been wanting a cor analysis, but I definitely can't afford a professional one. Even the drapes are out of my price range. This is such a great way to do it that I hadnt even considered.
Also, I think you're a cool summet based on what I see when you did the analysis. I think thats one of the reasons you really like it. I think your hair being dark makes you think you're more intense, but your skin/eyes aren't intense and fall under summer for sure.
This video is fantastic! Your preparation, editing, and explanations are so appreciated. I’m studying this video!!!
I’m going with cool summer. Your intensity and contrast are not high enough for winter. But cool summer is the closest to winter so that’s what you are seeing. Kaya Scodelario, Emily Blunt, Bianca Balti are all cool summers.
That's the clearest explanation of colour analysis I've heard. Really like your videos.
Oh! As a MUA, I was shocked when you said "This is not my best side" (golden earring, I assume it' s not mirrored so your actual left). Almost 100% of people prefer the face side where their eye + brow is placed higher. (Fun fact: ±80% is left / ±20% is right and it comes from the sphenoid bone' s tilt) but you didn' t. Your brain seems to prioritize and love the bigger eye and more spaceful lid instead. You belong to the majority (80% of "facial lefties") and to the minority (size over obliquity) at the same time😅. Professional deformation at its finest, can' t help.
🧛🏻♀️🖤
proceeded to look through my selfies and yep - all are at least slightly favoring the left of my face. also the side I chose for my nose ring. thanks for the stats and facts! my life makes sense now.
Wow that’s so interesting and true for me as well (left side preference; higher brow). Thanks for sharing!
this is so interesting! How much do people's preferences of their own face side match up with what someone else would say is their "best" side?
This is fascinating, my left brow and eye is higher but I prefer the right side of my face. In fact, if I see the left side of my face in photos, I feel like it doesn't even look like me. I have a beauty mark on my right cheek that I've had since I was 4yrs old and that's just how I picture my face. Without it, it doesn't feel like me, so I prefer that side even though it's my low brow side.
This is so interesting! I tend to favor my right side in photos because I have a cowlick and have to part my hair on that side, so it feels heavy if I pose left side forward. Unfortunately, I always get a better blend of my makeup when I do my left side as opposed to my right so I'm also always putting my "worst" side forward makeup wise. Lol
Best explanation of seasonal colour palettes I've seen. Excellent.
When you held up the Summer Cool strip of colors, it just lit up your face! Def lucky that both Winter and Summer Cool really flatter your coloring!
thanks for breaking this down so well! super helpful!🙏🏻
Ma'am! The detail and time you are putting into these videos!! I feel like I'm spamming my girl group chat with them at this point. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
Oh my gosh this is the sweetest compliment, thank you!! 😊🌷
Tour Process was so thorough anni create. I’ve watched many colour analysis videos and yet this one managed to win my undivided attention. Yay Winter cool!
LOVE this video. Thank you! I’m off to Lowes to rake through color chips!!
Haha yesss!! Good luck and feel free to share your results with me on Insta @studiobonvon!!! 🌷
Love your video and how you went step by step and explained. It was easy to understand and a good “ visual “ way to see the differences in cool/ warm undertones.
I am twenty minutes in, and I was extremely skeptical of this "color theory" nonsense, honestly thought it was a bit silly. I prefer just to wear whatever colors I like... until I realized that I'm pretty sure I was, and am, selecting my favorite colors based on this color theory in my head. Color me impressed (ha!) I am totally starting to get why people do this. It's a great reference point. And you can make and break these rules as you please, I'm sure.
I agree with you on the brighter colors in the intensity test. While my eyes are drawn to the brighter colors, they immediately go to the rest of your face, and everything is very vibrant and fun to look at. Whereas the dull color I go to your face because there is nowhere else to go. And even then it's not asking me to stay.
Haha I’m glad to hear that this convinced you! 😂 I think you’re right about breaking the rules too - I’m going to try to bring in other colors that aren’t “technically” part of my palette but I think will work. As they say…you have to know the rules in order to break them though!! I was skeptical when I first came across it too, but coming from an art background I knew how important color theory can be and how the right colors (at least in art) can make a HUGE difference, so I stuck with it and I’m glad I did 😉
What an exceptional tutorial. The content, the structure, the pace, the visuals - all of it is absolutely fantastic! Thank you!
Before beginning the analysis, I initially thought you matched the "summer" profile. However, during the analysis (before the sub-season), I started to lean towards "summer cool." I believe you have a medium level of intensity. This was a very good video overall. As a bright winter, people's reactions towards the vibrant colours always amuse me.I don't see many examples of people in bright palettes. Unfortunately, when I do see them, they are usually Spring types or celebrities (so unverified).
You deserve so much appreciation for this amazing video 👏👏👏 I have been watching colour analysis videos for YEARS and still didn't quite get how to find your subgroup and had trouble identifying some warm and cool shades. Not anymore. Your video helped me more than anything else and i want to thank you for all the effort you put into it. Just watching you go along with your analysis and the thought process really taught me a lot. I feel so much more confident now - THANK YOU ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I just did a color analysis on myself with the paint chips, and it turns out I'm a Cool Summer 👀😱. I'm utterly shocked and yet it makes so much since. I had thought going into it I was Soft Summer, but no. If that was the case, Soft Autumn would be my second best season, but Winter Cool works much better. I had no idea I was so cool. I have a slight yellow overtone that's been confusing me for years. But now that I see it, I can't un-see it.
This video was so amazing and well done I had to comment twice. I’ve been watching so many color analysis videos but this was by far the best. I feel like the others stop short of making it possible to do it for yourself
Excellent video. I think it's funny how we can see the colors in others (I knew you were a winter immediately) but so difficult to see it in ourselves. This is a great and inexpensive way to experiment. Thanks for the great video.
Glad you found it helpful!! ✨ I actually thought I was a summer originally, and I probably could have figured out winter pretty easily, but it’s the subgroups that I really had no clue about
From what I've heard, the cool-warm pink test is mostly about what makes your skin look the most healthy! You were right on track with that!
I think you're a cool summer, your eyes are very grayed & your lips have softness in them (and blend into your skin tone), your skin isn't crisp and clear like a winters, it has an ashy quality. True summer has quite bright colours, the ones you held up for summer were more soft summer, which is too gray for you. The winter colours don't seem to make your eyes pop or bring out their colour as the right colours would. The black eyeliner feels intense and distracting too! However your blended lip look looks wonderful
I really thought she was a summer from the start, but when she did the cards, it was a close call.
i agree with cool summer!
Yeah I agree with this, the analysis made it pretty clear that the winter colours were overpowering her and the summer colours were complimenting her.
I loved this video! From start to finish, you really broke this process down into easy, understandable steps, and loved how you finished it with the adorable keyring swatches! And you are gorgeous in that orchid top! Thank you so much for sharing!
Blacks really don't tend to work for summers but it looks good on winters. Turquoise works for everyone. The colour of the clothes you are wearing are summer. I think you're a cool summer.
I love the summer cool colors on you. But both the winter and summer cools are beautiful on you. Your face just really shines and pops with summer cool to me. The mauve 😍 and navy 😍
I think you're wrong about blue. It may be true in colour theory that red is pure warm, but in skin colour analysis, orange is pure warm (also why there's no cool orange, while there is a cool red). The opposite of orange is indigo. Cooler blue is closer to indigo, and warmer blue is further towards indigo, trending towards green.
This fits with the seasons. An autumn or spring is going to have an easier time wearing a tealy blue because it harmonises with the golden tones in their skin.
Agreed. People get too stuck on an individual colour, whereas a season is a pallette and a type of harmony of all its colours taken together, basically all colours within a season should match, and the artistic ways of finding harmonious colours (opposites, triangles, squares on the colour wheel) will inevitably (especially if you are a high contrast season) get you to a colour that is not strictly your season. Colour analysis is a more empiric tool, some things are just observable facts and still waiting for the theory to catch up)
Yes, I am a winter and I have always disliked teal but I know many Autumns who wear it all the time.
Yes - I definitely made a mistake with the blues here. I have an art background so I was applying traditional color theory here - i.e. warm blue = more purple, cool blue = more green. But I'm learning that it's the opposite in color analysis, which makes perfect sense!
One of the best colour analysis videos I've seen so far! You were able to explain how undertone doesn't change, while intensity/contrast does. This is especially relevant for people who have gone grey. Similarly, I appreciated that you showed that the hair needs to be covered for undertone, but should be out for intensity/contrast.
Cool summer for u. Your one of the traditional easy to spot season.😊
Yep, that was my instant reaction. The intense colors overwhelmed her.
I just came across your channel. You look stunning and I really loved your analytical and creative approach in this video. I did not know about the free paint chips in hardware stores, I'll look for them! Moreover the color palette booklet is SO CUTE! I am still figuring out about the colors that work best for me, I did a partial professional analysis ending up being Spring. Fine, but I love bright cool tones, now I understand more why, probably being bright and stealing from Winter Bright! Thank you for sharing and good look for your career here on RUclips!
I think OP is a Summer. IMO ppl put too much emphasis on hair colour as a decider of sub-season when your natural hair colour can be relative (eg. you think it's super dark because it's darker than a light/medium, but it's not actually that dark compared to black) and can be the odd feature out that is dissonant with the rest of you and wrong for your season. Maybe the camera setting is too desaturated creating this impression, but look at OP's muted eye colour, soft eyebrows, grey pigments in the skin and lips. I feel like she would have to paint on some serious brows / black mascara / bold lip & blush to pass as a bright winter, which shouldn't be the case if it's the right season. Inverse of this would be like if someone with electric blue eyes, naturally pigmented lips, dewy skin and strong eyebrows was like 'so I must be a soft because I have mousy brown hair.' If every feature but one is pointing in the same direction, you should follow that and ignore the odd one out imo. When OP put their down and started talking about winters, I thought 'but if you got a buzzcut, your basis for believing that would vanish; that shouldn't be possible, since season comes from underlying skin pigments, which don't change.'
I am amazed at how fun this ended up being! I can already tell that I'm a deep winter from this. I scrutinize the hell out of every colour I wear already and winter deep/autumn deep (sans orange) always works for me. Even my family mentions it.
Algorithm gave me an early Christmas present today! 🎉
I think summer cool looks better for you. It brightens up your complexion. I feel like winter cool drags you down a little bit. I have heard before that it is better to have someone else do your analysis bc you will always be biased. You may gravitate toward a certain color but color analysis should be based on what it does to your skin and not based on how much you like the color. Excellent video. Thanks so much.
Great job, very informative and clear explanation thank you so much! ❤️. I would love if you made a video and took us shopping with you, or on how you choose clothes based on your colour palette and it would also be great if you do an analysis of hair colour.
Ooh you should get a virtual analysis with Carol Bradley to see if you got this right. I think cool is definitely right for you. My hunch is that you might be cool summer. Summers can have much darker hair than people think!
MUST DO AGAIN PLEASE!!! Best analysis yet! Can you do more on friends and family!!!! You are the best love love love!
This was an amazing explanation of color theory. I love the idea of using the paint chips! Thank you for all of your work in this video!
The undertone test screamed cool the entire way through. It was very interesting how much the cool just popped and made you glow. The darker pink perfectly matched your lips and the lighter pink you could see in the undertone of your skin. I think your most noticeable trait is cool. I liked the cool summer on you just a bit better than the cool winter. To me the slightly softer colors enhanced your features more, while the winter colors pulled away from them ever so slightly. Either way they both looked fab on you!
Interesting! Before I did the test my guess was that I would be a summer, but testing the other subgroups and stuff…they’re just way too light for me. However…I think there are some secret colors in-between summer and winter that I’m going to try to find…!
