The right colors will make you look healthier and younger while the wrong colors will make you look sick and tired. I joke that I have a couple of tops in my worst colors just to make people feel sorry for me if I am overloaded with tasks. It works!
Lol
Ha. That's me with all black and no lipstick. People will stop me and ask if I'm feeling okay or need to go.home.
Ha, so smart!😂👍
This is fantastic. Gonna try it
It looks like I need to go through the bags of clothes I plan to give away and make sure I have some just for that! hahaha!
Last comment. In my experience, if you are not a summer, pastels make you pale. If you are not an autumn, browns make you look sick and yellow. If you are not a winter, stark white or black will emphasize dark circles and you'll look terrible. If you're not a spring, bright, warm colors, like primary colors, will make you look red (all zits stand out).
Well summarized. Also, instead of using black and white for winter, testing it with icy colours like icy lilac will emphasize the result better. Because cool summer can also wear black and white. But icy colours would still be tricky and harsh for them.
Good summary! I am one of the rare deep autumns with blue eyes and neutral to peach undertones. I look terrible in ANY pastels unless they are warm and I have a dark tan. The only winter color I wear okay is black because it is full saturation. I can wear a navy if it is more a warm indigo. White and even ivory or light warm oatmeal makes me look blah. I have to have a deep rich color or it’s just not right.
@RCGWho What if none of those colors work for you? 😅
@paulahyatt5732 I've seen this. My husband has all these issues when I drape him. He chose to be a spring cuz he liked the bright, warm colors best. Lol
this is wrong. im a winter and intense colors emphasize my dark circles, because they give me color. and since they give color to my WHOLE face, it includes dark circles. that's why when i was at home i tended to wear grays. but when i conceal my dark circles, so i wont see them, i look best in intense, cold, darker colors.
In the Last 20 years i visited 3 colour analysts. They all had another opinion 😂 so now i wear the colours i always loved, feel great and got compliments
Another benefit of building a wardrobe around your seasonal colors is that your clothes will all coordinate better.
Absolutely! Some years you just have to wait for "your" colors to come back in.
Our Mom treated my sister and me to a Color Me Beautiful analysis 40 years ago and I’ve always found it very valuable. It was tricky for the analyst because I’m so close to neutral, but when she put aqua, a pale, muted turquoise, on me, it was obvious to all that I am a Summer. They didn’t have the subcategories then, but I later determined I am a Soft Summer, from doing a bit of study. I did eventually drop two of the recommended hues, purples and grays, they seemed to wash me out and were difficult to style. Still, the analysis has guided my wardrobe selection brilliantly for 40 years, it was very worthwhile.
My mom had a Come Alive with Color home party at our home in the 80’s when I was a teenager. (I live in Canada and that was the name of the company that did our color swatches.) At this party I was given fabric swatches that are grouped by color in a nice little booklet. I agree with you that this is such a beneficial tool that I can rely upon when purchasing clothes with the colors that look good on me. I too am a summer!
I had a d'Saison Creative Colour analysis done 40 years ago in 1983 and still have the color palette!
Most of it still applies as a guideline, but I've had to make slight adjustments over the years.
I studied image consulting at FIT in NYC, got analyzed by some of the best people (all coincided on me = soft summer, too), and one of the first things I learned is that summers are the trickiest to identify. In any case, yeah, getting this sort of color guidance has been invaluable for me.
I still have that book!
I was an autumn but now I have salt and pepper hair and it’s not so nice wearing autumn. Kind of clashes with my hair .
I think limiting colors in our wardrobe is key. I love having signature colors. Key colors that look absolutely fabulous and seek them out repeatedly. Makes it much easier to shop.
I've just been typed as a true spring. I'm in love with our coral and it's a colour I never would have worn before. I'm getting it in as many shades as I can!
In some ways it makes it impossible to shop, because so many items only come in a handful of colors (black, white, grey, navy, and sometimes brown).
i always wonder why orange, red & green look good on me turns out ima bright spring after consultation.
@@lem0nad384I can pull from light spring,but bright spring makes me look dead 😂Glad you've found your season
It feels like it matches more stuff in your closet if you have a set color theme
Years and years ago I had a professional analysis, and I have found I am happier in my colors. I actually looked up my consultant during covid. I found that she now works at a luxury resort setting where her husband is the historian. I found an article about them meeting. He spoke about noticing her immediately in her green dress. She had certainly used color to her best advantage. It was a great read, and i was glad I found the article that was a testament to the advantage of having your analysis completed.
Finally someone who is talking about color. I am so glad you have addressed this. So many influencers, lean toward neutral, neutral neutral. Thank you so much for this video. I am getting my colors done in person next week and I’m so excited.
My mom and I got the book “color me Beautiful” back in the late 70’s and did our colors back then-there were just four-spring summer fall winter. We got the fabric swatches and all-I will say it has never steered us wrong all these years. It was a great investment in Ourselves! ❤
I am an autumn but more specifically a blue autumn leaf. I got an in person color analysis with House of Colour in 2021. I love that I can ignore most clothing when I shop because of color alone. It makes shopping so much easier. I know technically it only matters what you wear close to your face, but it's better to buy everything in the same color family so that your entire wardrobe is harmonious and therefore interchangeable. Another gamechanger was my realization at 42 that pink makeup looks terrible on me. I thought I didn't like makeup, but now that I wear orange lipstick and bronze blush, I love makeup.
Wow; that's so cool. Glad you figured that out. I'm the opposite, but I can understand because the whole last decade that nude lips were in style was Impossible for me to pull off. I had to buck the trend to not look dead.
Same! Blue leaf autumn here done with House of Colour last year. Game changing! I thought for sure I was a spring or summer. I wore every shade of blue and dressed like a winter often!! So much fun, esp the HOC lipsticks. I wear my lipsticks every day.
Haha glad that you found your makeup. The same is also true for me. I'm a True Winter and had stick to only one single lipstick shade for a lot of years prior to getting my colours analyzed. It's true that shopping is much more easier now. I love pastels and had to say goodbye to them and transition to crayon colours instead (I don't like winter colours before). But I found my own light colour choices in winter which is the icy colours and had been wearing them a lot nowadays. I love icy lilac the most. And also finally bought a new lipstick shade which is cherry red. Had fun playing colours in the store nowadays and couldn't be more shocked to realize that I can wear purple eyeshadow 😂. But didn't buy it yet. We'll see.
@@user-fz9dn5bs7eif you ever decide to go for a colorful eyeshadow, I love the Pat McGrath (high impact) and Chantecaille (more understated) formulas.
I’m a spring…red hair, blue-green eyes, pale skin. The spring palette has always looked best on me. The startling thing is when my hair turned blonde after 50. Needed some tweaks with makeup, but my best colors were still my best colors. There are many channels that discuss “chic” and they always advocate black, white, grey, cream, camel, and navy as universally chic. But not everybody looks good in those colors. It’s nice to be the age where I’m comfortable doing me, rather than following a fashion.
Redheads can’t be warmed toned
Agree! Neutrals read as chic, but each season's neutrals are different.
I'm also a red-haired gal with blue- green eyes and yup, I'm a spring too. Pastel looks awful on me, and the more warm toned bright colours suit me best. I had my colours done, and realised why wearing autumnal colours looked drab too. So it really does help getting the colours done.
Agree. If anything, colour analysis actually teach us that everyone has their chance to look the best and pretty regardless of skin colours and styling skills. That we don't need to be an influencer to still look elegant and stylish. That we don't need to follow the trends and others. That we don't need to spend money all the time buying new things. It's a timeless investment and it helps us to feel the best in our own skin. To acknowledge our natural beauty. A lot says that it's restricting, and it's true. But it's what I want. To restrict myself and save up my money from unnecessary purchases all the time.
I'm just so surprised how many fashion influencers have only done their colors recently. I feel like it was always the first step in determining your fashion style. I am so glad you had it done and you look great!
It took me 5 years to gather the courage to do this. I didn't know whether I was a dark autumn (hate the colors) or dark winter (love the colors), because I couldn't tell whether my skin was warm or cool. It was a huge relief to find out I'm a dark winter and get to wear as much black as I want 😆
🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️
It sounds like your primary color characteristic is dark, making you either a primary winter or primary autumn. In this case, you would actually have a Secondary Palette of one of them. This does mean that all the colors for your Secondary Color Palette are good for you. They are very specific to the Winter Palette. Most people do not like the Autumn palette because they don't like the muted earthy tones. In the Autumn palette, there are muted colors and bright colors as well. You would want to wear the Bright colors of the Autumn palette. Like purple, teal, pumpkin, and reds, and avoid the muted tones, camel, khaki, and beige. Hope this makes sense. I am curious; however, what color are your hair and your eyes.
EVeryone always looks at the skin as warm or cool, you need to look at the whole picture. Look at the skin, hair, and eyes in combination. Is the story warm or cool?
I'm the other way around. Can't decide between dark autumn vs darm winter but am hoping it's not dark winter. Love autumnal colours. Looool
From looking at your picture, you appear as a winter. Incorporate the colors you love by wearing it with your winter colors. This will personalize your palette. And reflect who you are. @@mahsamoadeli5294
Glad you had your color analysis done. Your love for bright reds and beige didn’t trick you. I’d be happy to hear you mention your season in your vids, when you present outfits, to make evaluations easier for your viewers.
I hate when summer-type online influencers fill their closets with so-called “neutrals” like camel, beige, black and true white, while there are tons of other options that would need half the amount of artificial tanning, concealers and blushes. (Just ranting here because I can.)
I know. Some of the "natural makeup colors" and clothes just necessitate putting on way too much makeup etc. to make up for the fact, that it doesn't look natural on very many people. I really think that current makeup, such as, black eyelashes glued on,with mud toned lips suits very few seasons (maybe springs? Dark autumns?) and looks less clean and simple than even eighty's makeup.
I had my colors done last year. I was draped as a light summer (with autumn envy) 😂. Seriously, almost everything in my closet was autumn colors! Best advice I received was that it can take a couple years to transition your closest to your season. The analyst also did my makeup which can be even trickier to get right.
I am 58 and had my color analysis done at a party in 1983. I have the swatch booklet to this day and I will have to say it is still accurate. I am blonde, but my eyebrows are very dark and she said I was a Winter which she said was unusual at the time, but told me that as I aged I might become a summer, which was also cool toned but not as harsh as we age. I find this to be true 40 years later!
Ok thank you! I’m the same: blonde with dark eyebrows (Northern Italian) and I was called a winter back in the 90s. I looked great in the reds and deep blues all through my 20s.
Fast forward to 2023 and I don’t like black or super saturated colours on me anymore. You just confirmed my suspicions at 44..😊
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I still do the winter colors in the winter, but the other 3 seasons I go into the summer colors. I am always drawn to the typical fall colors in autumn, but I know they make me look ill.
Are you in Italy or do you have Italian heritage?
Sounds like a Cool Winter there, aren't you? A Cool Winter could always transition to Cool Summer colours and it makes sense to shift sometimes if you feel necessary.
I was always sure you were some form of spring.
Me too. Here's how I test colors on myself...
Where do my eyes naturally go: to the item of clothing or to my face?
If the color is good for me, it's easy for my eyes to see my face. If the color is wrong for me, my eyes "want" to look at the clothing and not my face ( it's almost like i have to force my eyes to look at my face).
Takes a little practice, but you'll see what I mean.
This is probably one of the best comments. I find myself looking at the brightness of my face if it's a good color. If not, I focus on the item and the fact that it looks awful...
I had my colors done in my hometown of Panama City nearly 40 years ago. (Color Me Beautiful.) I’m a winter, but it didn’t have anymore descriptors. Our analyst would use full scarves of each color in our family and you could really see what made you pop! I got “permission” to stop wearing beiges and oranges, which I never really liked anyway. We got a little plastic card carrier with each color and either one to three checks. (I need to dig that up!) it made a huge difference for my sister who dressed like our Mom, an Autumn. When our stylist dropped her in Winter colors, it was shocking how much better she looked. She said you could wear what you wanted, but you’d look your best in your best colors. For example, I love periwinkle, an Autumn color and it looks fine on me. I’d look better in royal purple, but you can’t always find the shade each season.
Over the years, it can be frustrating when the popular colors are not your colors! Thanks for nothing Pantone. Sigh. Luckily, I look great in black, which is always in! As others have noted, if you want to wear something, like khaki which is awful on me, I can pull it off if I restrict it to pants or skirts. Same with muted or dusty colors. I mean I can’t wear black everyday! (Or can I?).
I hope you find your color journey fulfilling.
I recently came across my "cards". thank you for reminding me to pay more attention to them. I think it's been about 40 years since I did it.
Unfortunately some of the blacks in recently are very flat - like the black wall in Auschwitz. Totally feel the frustration of trends - I think color analysis becomes popular after every earth tone /70's decade.
If you want to keep using the soft yellow top pair it with really bright high intensity color earrings, or very shiny pieces or a bright color neckacle, like a bib necklace, that should do the trick. Also if your skin is more towards the neutral maybe you can benefit from a flow pallette (16 seasons system) and maybe you are more like a bright wich is the fow between bright winter and bright spring and that opens up your pallette a lot more.
That’s why I love silk neck scarves, they allow me to wear the wrong colors for me by introducing some of the right colors near my face, especially white. Dark and bright colors are both pretty bad next to my pale, Soft Summer, skin, especially black. But a black-on-white scarf, and extra cheek and lip color, make black wearable. It’s hard to have a good, classic wardrobe without any black at all, but I try to keep it to a minimum. Navy is “my black”.
I don't have black anymore, navy is the darkest I go, I also love muted cool brown and charcoal grey as navy gets boring.
In the 70's --- wondered why I always needed to wear my red scarf with my gold ultrasuede dress-- until I had my colors done- (the simple 4 seasons way) and found out I'm a winter!!! Since then -- winter colors have worked well -- but I will still wear a scarf that's in one of my best colors to bring my face to life no matter trending color the rest of me is wearing-- the wrong white or cream or green or...... 😅
@@kryssygee4814Emerald green would be a good green for a Winter.
Have you ever tried charcoal or a lighter gray? It's supposed to be an on-trend color this season. 😊
I’m a soft autumn (so muted and warm), I love my soft colours but I have some black in my wardrobe that I really enjoy. I’ve found the trick for myself to be wearing black items - when close to my face - that are soft in other ways: lace necklines, ribbed fabrics, etc. Also not all black are the same, so i look for blacks that have warm tones when reflected in the light (yellow rather than blue). A bonus is that my clothes usually look better on me as they age, because the more washed out they become the more suited they are to my skin!
I guessed you were a spring! I would love to get my colors done someday. Those spring colors look great on you!
I’m a soft summer, and I was dressing as a winter until I was color analyzed so it was pretty life changing for me.
Oh I bet!! That’s awesome!
I'm soft summer too! 🥰
It's the opposite for me. From summer to winter. I look much younger and healthier now in winter colours eventhough in reality, I'm currently suffering from a sickness and is getting older.
So very glad you had a positive experience! One BIG mistake is thinking your seasons change because your hair got gray. NO. Color analysis is how color pulls out hues in your skin. My background is art and design, and I taught Interior Design. I was a true ash blonde with deep green eyes and gray rims. I am a soft winter that looks horrible in caramel beige which I never liked for myself. I wear true white and bright winter white. I was one of the first coded and a model for a well known salon here. Most people are pulled to decorate their home in their season.
Would you not say that greying hair affects the face that is warm toned? As hair is so close to the face?
So grey hair doesn’t affect the colors!? And the plot thickens! 😄 I thought it did ❤️
Except that many times a person's skintone and eye color loses intensity/brightness as they get older. I don't believe that someone changes from warm to cool or cool to warm, but I know that people can switch within warm seasons or cool seasons.
@@ANNAREID29Gray hair affects which colors look best from your palette, but I know that someone can change palettes within their range. Often, people's skintone and eye color soften with age, so someone might shift from a Bright/Clear Spring to a Light Spring, or from a True Summer to a Soft Summer, for example. In the original Color Me Beautiful book, the instructions included covering up your hair with a white towel so that hair color wouldn't affect your perception of how the swatches look on you.
Thank you for stating that gray hair doesn't change your natural coloring!!
Dark Autumn here. I love the colors and I also love that I can borrow colors from my sister season, Dark Winter.
Totally agree with this . I’m a spring too and I can see a huge difference in my face when I have spring color on. I look younger brighter 😊so it’s only spring colors now !!
I think the words that describe it the best are that you look washed out when you're in your wrong color palette. That's what I noticed about myself too when the color is wrong. That's the first thing that comes to mind: This washes me out....
The biggest place where I've noticed all of this color scheme stuff is when a woman wears a red lip. That red lip HAS to be the right one or it will RUIN the entire makeup look. For me, I only look good in Brick reds or mauve reds. No orangey reds, no pinky reds and in most cases even some blue reds don't work on me. Mauve under tone red looks best and on the blue reds it depend on how fair or tan my face is. A Red Lip HAS to be the right one to look good! :)
My coloring and yours are very similar and after much study, I had “self-diagnosed” as a Bright Spring. Thanks for the confirmation! 😂 Like you, I’m a bit of a neutral and once stamped a color professional who told me that I was “one of those rare people” who could pull off most seasons. (?) Yet, as you affirmed, it really IS the difference between “a slight flu” and standing out. 😂 Good job explaining it all in the video! ❤
For years and years I thought I was a winter but recently discovered that I’m a deep autumn. And that definitely explains why I never really loved those winter tones on me. My skin tone is light but warm/neutral. Now I buy things in the deep autumn palette and they look amazing on me.
Good for you!
I wonder how much we compensate for the “wrong” color with make up?
You don't
The thing is, there are so many different color systems. There's overlap in some of them, but some systems give pastels to winters and others give it to summers. Draping fabric in natural light is best. The system i was done with in the 80s was basically: winter is black and white and navy and other dark cool season colors, browns, creams, peach, teal etc are autumn, pastels, light grey, and "winter" white are summer, and bright, warm colors like melon, camel, aqua, royal blue are spring.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time! Congratulations on knowing your results 👍
Yea girl !! I have always thought you were maybe a spring ! Can’t wait to see
Wow... Never thought about this but definitely going to try it. Thanks again for helping me step my game up!!!
I was a Color Me Beautiful consultant years ago. I enjoyed working with clients helping them to look their best. Imo, it’s a valuable tool and saves so much time and money. After I had my colors done I stopped wasting money on the wrong makeup and clothes.
Firm believer in Color Me Beautiful, since the 80's.😊
I'm so glad you did this!
Also, that top looks great on you!
I always thought you were a Soft Autumn. The ginger, persimmon and caramel colors you seem to be drawn to really enhance your natural beauty.
Yep!
i loved my analysis done by house of colours. Highly highly recommend them! So glad you did it anna!
I was leaning more toward winter brights for you but I definitely agree that the Spring colors are your jam!
So glad you got this done. It was very thoughtful of you to supply affordable options. I had a color analysis done just before Covid. After the consultation, I received a fan of colored cards and a binder with information about my colors. I am warm light spring that flows to summer. I really need to review that information! Thanks for the reminder!
I love your cropped reddish orange jacket! Very striking!
Honestly, I think you looked beautiful in all of the colors. All the effort you put in to be fit and put together brings out the natural beauty you have! 😘
Totally agree with you being a Spring. You look stunning in the bright, saturated colors.
I’ve always wondered about my colors ever since my coloring changed with my more mature years. It seems I am leaning towards bright colors for the first time in my life! This blows my mind and will be treating myself to a color analysis when budget allows. Thanks for the great, informative video Anna. You knocked it outta the park! ♥️
Anna wear exactly what you want and the colors that you love, you look beautiful in all of them.❤
I had my colors done by House of Color back in January. Wow! What an eye-opening experience it was. I was surprised to see I am also a Spring! Bright and clear! It really has helped me shop better and now I love wearing my colors, makes me feel and look brighter. Can't wait to see all the same colors on you. Thank you for the great video!
Thank goodness you did this! I watch all your videos and kept wondering which season you were in!
I am certified with The Outfit Cutator, the same one you had done in person, but I have been doing the service online for years. She did a great job! I love your explanation and you look absolutely stunning in your spring colors 💕
I always thought you should get one done! It can really take your fashion to the next level and enhance your natural beauty and coloring.
I’ve been professionally typed as deep winter and I love wearing my colors
I love this; I still have the original "Color Me Beautiful" book from the 80's! I could never fully figure out if I was a summer or a winter because I felt like I could get away with certain colors from both palettes - until I went gray! Now I know I'm Definitely a Winter. Clear, dark, true, bright? Who knows. I don't really concern myself too much with that. I do know I look best - like you - in the bright, saturated hues. Also, I have to say it was very confusing when I was younger because I did have some red highlights in my hair and a hint of green (hazel) in my brown eyes - so the prevailing wisdom would say you're a warm season - but I look sickly in those colors!
Me too
Read the book again - you can have those natural colors & be a Winter.😊
You definitely look better in brighter colors - I agree. That red that you’re wearing looks good. Ive also been getting into color analysis. I think I’m a dark winter.
I've never really thought about this, but it's very interesting and makes so much sense!
I loved this video! You actually seem to be able to pull off a lot more colors than most. I had my colors done by Color Me Beautiful about 40 years ago and I did find it very helpful, even though there weren’t as many sub categories back then. I would like to revisit this since my coloring may have changed a bit as I have aged. I am a Summer (which, I don’t know) but I still feel great wearing black! 🙂
I just had mine done in July. It's the most interesting thing. I was just as confused as you, and was often wearing all the wrong colors. For one, I kept leaning toward warm greens, because my eyes are hazel green. But in that lighting with a professional, it was SO obvious. I'm a True Winter for sure. What was interesting was the realization that while dressing for special occasions and speaking engagements, I always reached for those True Winter power colors. Instinctively, they made me feel more confident. (I was also delighted to hear my type gets to keep black! lol) Definitely a recommended experience!
You can still use things that are not in your color family by adding a bright scarf or sweater/jacket. I was always a winter when I had dark brown hair, now I have let it go white, gray. I put on a gray shirt and wow, I could wear a different color. It is always an indicator when you naturally gravitate to certain colors that you feel good in. That strong blue color looks great on just about everyone. Going out in natural light is an excellent idea. I have gone out thinking I was matching my blacks only to find my shoes were navy - ugh. I had two pair of matching shoes, one pair navy, one black. Yes I did go out wearing one of each!
So worth it. The big but is who is doing it. She has to be good. It is not a cookie cutter tool. Everyone is unique and finding the uniqueness. I have found you come from one color group (season) but can have influences of other seasons. Add to that your best patterns, textures, and combinations and you develop your own uniqueness. A lot to it but so wonderful.
Color analysis has changed a bit in the last few years. Along with many others, I bought the Color Me Beautiful book (I had it in 1981 when it came out) and learned that I was a "Spring" which was pretty enlightening. This year I learned that the 4 seasons have subseasons so that was a new development. After doing some research again I came to the conclusion that I am a Bright Spring like you (it is easier for us to wear black than it is for True Springs) and that makes a lot of sense and helps with shopping now. Things do keep evolving!
This is crazy… I was trying to find an app to help me figure out what colors look best on me Friday. Love this!!!
You're right. It is complicated! I don't look good in pastels either and much prefer brighter colors.
I figured yours out pretty quickly when I saw you in several key colors. I’m a Bright Spring as well. I watched about 8 of Sarah Ryan’s videos, and her info helped me refine my color palette. I had been told I looked best in Brights and Darks, which was pretty close. I can borrow from Bright Winter also.
Wearing the right colors is important. I do this as part of my practice, and cannot believe how many people think this is unnecessary before having their colors done.
I’m glad you did this video❤
I thought you were a Spring and you are! I am also a Spring, so welcome to the club ;-) Princess Diana was a Spring, so if you want to wear light blue, have a look at some of the outfits she wore to get a good idea of the kind of blue you can wear. As a Spring I should be able to wear beige, but the beige I am seeing in online shops just washes me out and I am not sure why? Perhaps like you, I am a "bright" Spring and I probably have to wear neutrals together with a bright colour so that I don't look pasty and ill. Btw, I love that tomato red on you, and it would look great with navy.
Thank you for saying it is not easy/obvious. I pegged you as Spring from the initial clips / swatches, but it is a lot easier to step back when it is not yourself! 😊
This was a really helpful video. I had my colors done when I was 18 back in the early 1980s (I am a winter) and I have found it useful my whole life. Even now that I have some grey hair it still seems to be true. I can’t wear yellows or oranges at all. I look sick in them. I have not heard about the bright vs true vs neutral sub categories of color palettes before. That was very interesting. I think the color analyst did a great job on you. You do look great in bright spring colors. I agree that the pastels aren’t as good on you compared to brights. I really like the on screen comparisons you showed during the video. It was easy to see the differences…and I don’t think color analysis is an easy thing to see for most people. So, great job on teaching us the differences. This was well done ❤
I had my colors analyzed back in the late 70’s and was told then that I was a Spring, before there were subcategories! Later on I began to doubt my undertone and bought more Summer colors. Now that my hair is graying, I find I need to rethink my values again! With online advice groups, people tell me I’m a “Light Spring”-which means the original analysis might have been right all along 🤷🏼♀️. The problem is finding autumnal clothing in light Spring colors without looking out of place! That is the real challenge-especially living in a warm climate, as you know! (I’m in Houston, transplanted from the SF Bay Area as you will note from my Warriors t-shirt 😂!)
Have you ever tried looking at your overlapping colours from your sister seasons? Especially for neutrals? Still won't help with the autumn vibe,but might give a few more options,especially if you can work with some of the true spring neutral crossover coloura
This is so cool! I think you look pretty in all colors, Anna! I've been told I look best in royal colors. I feel the worse in soft colors, like peach, lavender, light yellow. I think I'll try the $15 option to see what they say. Thank you for the tips!
I'm so glad you posted this. I think I'm a winter of some sort. I'm definitely going to be looking into someone who does this locally.
That was really helpful, Anna! I recently had mine done, and although it wasn't a revelation as I'd first had them done years ago in the early 90s, it was more nuanced now than then, as you found out! It has been helpful, although the challenge is then to find garments in "your" colours that you actually want to wear!
Sometimes you just have to wait & see what colors are presented in the next fashion season.
No wonder you rock those red and orange outfits like a boss
You crack me up--bright spring, light spring, true spring, or a faux spring!
🤣🤣🤣
You definitely look best in bright colors! So do I. People have criticized me for wearing them and even acted like I don’t know how to dress, in the past, but I was analyzed and I’m between Light and Bright Spring. Warm is my tertiary characteristic, because I’m also Warm-Neutral. It was a validating experience. I guess I did know what looked good. I think some people just feel bright colors are “too much,” or they don’t work for them, so they assume they don’t work for anyone. I purchased many muted clothes to try to conform in my lifetime, regrettably. Now, I wear them when I want my doctor to take my illness seriously 😂. My favorites Bright Spring palette is My Color Style. I think you would like it, considering the shades you choose. I am glad you have the confidence to rock your colors. You look gorgeous in brights!
This subject has always interested me. It is complicated but worth learning about to help spend your clothing budget more efficiently. Thank you.
👍 well done I had a colour analysis done when I left school 😊
40+ years ago and I still have and use my little book of colour swatches
🎉 if you're wearing the wrong shade of blue simply add a scarf or blazer/ jacket of the right shade of blue
(hey what are) it will work a treat "i promise" 👌
First of all, I want to say I really enjoy watching your channel - you are very natural and have a great sense of humour. Now I wanted to comment because I am so happy you had a colour analysis done in person. I am a colour analyst myself and went through quite a journey before becoming an analyst myself. Literally every result I had done online was different - I was soft cool and deep in one and Jeweltone summer in another - neither of those colours worked for me. Then I had a colour analysis in person and I am a Bright Spring just as you. While I was trained to provide colour analysis online I don't do it because I simply believe that we cannot rely on the accuracy of a photo plus the effect the colour has on our skin is so subtle and nuanced, we simply cannot see it from a photo. I would recommend you to ignore your True Spring result and just go with the Bright Spring palette - it is a wonderful palette and you will absolutely shine. I look forward to more videos seeing you wearing your colours ❤
The red you’re wearing looks fantastic on you! It’s your power color! I can’t tell what color your eyes in your lighting maybe green or brown but not blue. I think that’s why the blue shirts didn’t go with your coloring. I did an online color analysis during the pandemic and for $20 I felt she did a good job and I emailed her questions for further qualification. I wanted to do it again in person but saw that the professional charges $300 so no thanks. I totally believe in color analysis and think it’s a powerful tool for dressing.
I knew right away at the beginning of the video that you were a bright spring. That colour looks amazing on you. I am bright spring as well- lovin the bright oranges and corals
I love the colours you are wearing in the video, obviously you look good in the spring colours. If you pair the pale blue with light warm accessories it would look more in harmony and I think you could pull together a great outfit. I agree colour analysis is a tool and it's great if you want to keep a small well coordinated wardrobe. I'm a deep autumn although my overall look is softening as i age. Great informative video!
Spring here, did this in the 80's and it has saved me a ton of money over the years.
I'm sorry but that yellow and light blue looks good on you. And the hubby looks nice in that green shirt .Wear what u like and makes you feel good.
Thanks for sharing...I think I'm spring too..but maybe more on the neutral side. I too don't suit light colours as much. Trick is to wear the colours that suit close to your face or if not wearing your colours by combining earrings or necklace or scarf in your colours will help take focus.
GIRL that red dress!! Stunning!
This is literally what I’ve been looking for…. Had no idea what this was called or that there are professionals that you can hire to do this for you. Because let me tell you, I am lost when it comes to knowing what looks good on me period! Thanks for this video!!
Thank you, per usual. I have bright blue eyes with white hair (since 35). When people ask me if its real, I trll them yes and verh exoensive, its called FIVE CHILDREN... 😅 I can get away with jewel tones, cooler colors. My trick is if I don't want to do much make up, I just wear electric blue. Makes the eye color pop out FARTHER than no make up. 😂😂😂 If I'm on a, I'm HERE mood, I'll wear true white as that plays on the hair color. Fun stuff!
🤣 🤣 love this!
How about scarlet red? 😊
🥰 Anna...you're so pretty in your colours. Thank you for sharing your results 👗👠💄
You’re so welcome! Glad you liked this one! ❤️❤️
I always thought I was a spring until a friend with more training told me I was a deep autumn and to please not wear bright orange ever. Again. She was right and now I stick with muted, deep colors.
I could tell right away what you were because I am exactly the same. When I was younger people would always guess me to be a fall but that was just because of my brown hair and eyes. When I started to have my hair highlighted very similar to yours it became very clear that I am a spring.
Even the light colors you chose are still “clear.” The pastels you should stay away from are those with grey/muted tones. But a clear pale blue or yellow still works on you!
I agree, the blue & yellow are good on hee
Anna, this interests me a lot! I would love to get a color analysis. I think that is so interesting that you had one done. I’m sure you learned a lot. I would do the same and go shopping after my analysis too! 😆
Sometimes I find it so easy to know who is which season just with a short observation, but springs make me work harder everytime to spot the season. I will doubt myself over it a dozen times even when I believe oh its spring. When I am back and forth over which one, it ends up Spring. Spring has an amazing colour chart much like a floral garden full of surprise, obviously its why it is Spring!
Well said.😊
Always thought you were a spring! Had color me beautbook 30 years ir so ago, had an analyst confirm me about 20 years ago! Great video today, thanks!!!
I'm in between a bright and true spring too, so I could tell you were.
Love you in the bright orange! You do look somewhere between True Spring and Bright Spring, to me. I’ve been told Bright Spring is the most neutral of the Springs. I’m a Light/Bright Spring, but I can’t wear a lot of oranges well because of my light red hair. I never thought about why I can only wear bright tomato 🍅 red, not cooler reds. It’s definitely warmer, complements my hair, without competing with it, and flatters Spring skin tones. True orange competes with my hair, which only wins if the orange is very light…there’s a dreamsicle orange I immediately bought 4 tops in, because they were almost out of stock (replaced with summer colors and now it’s fall, so they’re selling rust and pumpkin). I have to save money for Spring shopping and buy it all then, in certain brands!
I guessed Spring. Yay 😊 I've had both fun and frustration with color analysis. Im a winter. Light skin dark brown hair. But yeah but it gets complicated because like you I put highlights in my hair. Im a medium brown with alot of blondish highlights. I have a cool undertone with now warming hair.... lol and light green eyes. Oh boy!! I still tend to look best in bold winter colors a blue toned Red, purples, bright to dark green. I did purge my wardrobe of a few things. I also learned to put the " not best color" on my bottom half or wear a small scarf or high collared shirt to be next to my face when wearing a " less great" color.
these new colors on you look Great!!
I went to a professional color analyst about 3 weeks ago. I decided to go because I was born a strawberry redhead, but then stopped coloring my hair. To my shock, my gray hair is pure pale blonde!!! No roots, no brown at all. I defintiely needed help learning how to be a blonde. The lady I went to is an experienced professional. She did the draping and showed me differences, side by side, which was a huge help. It's not cheap, but I for sure will save a lot of money shopping for clothes and makeup. To me it is very worthwhile. And I'm a Light Spring! In the COlor Alliance system, I am a Light Sedona Spring.
As a dark winter, I’m shopping for blue reds and burgundy’s for fall. ❤
I had my colors done in January in person and I am a soft summer. It was worth the $$$ to really know what colors I look best in. The other thing it showed me, was that my hair color was all wrong (too warm), so I toned it down to a darker ashier blonde and it has made such a huge difference in how my face and skin look. Thanks for all your videos!
Well done!
I had my colors done many years ago when I was in my late teens/early 20s back in the 80s! I have always tried to stay in my colors when buying clothes that will be up against my face. I am a fall and have never been able to wear black, although I love black on other people. I really think it helps with clothes shopping to know at least what color will look best before trying on for style/fit.
Hey Anna, I had it done a few months ago. Im a neutral spring, which is warm, light and muted. It really helped me, I was wearing a lot of black and was tired of it. I always learned from people around me that some colours like blue and red would look good on me and it never felt right. And now I know why. My skin tone is neutral but I'm leaning more on the warmer side. I actually love a lot of the new colour options I got from the analysis. So I loved the experience, it makes me want to experiment more. It was so cool to see what the colours did to my face. Very helpful for make-up aswel. Thanks for the video, for me it was very clear what looks good on you 🙂
Agreed with this! I’ve never considered wearing turquoise but apparently I need to try it 😄
Love this for you! So helpful.. I would have guessed you were Some kind of spring but it is always tricky to just guess 😅 I am a summer. Love your channel!
Thank you, Margreet! ❤️
