Deep Neutral: Advice needed on alternative to white

Deep Neutral: Advice needed on alternative to white

Hi everyone! I had a draping done last week and the results (from the 10 season system that is most often used around where I live) was that I am an Autumn-Winter type (basically a bridge between deep winter and deep autumn, so deep neutral). From the true colors, autumn was a better fit than winter so I probably lean slightly warm, but my main characteristic is deepness basically!

Now I'm just looking for an alternative to white, for when I do want to wear something light (like on a hot summer day). I tried a cream top since my palette does have a light yellow, but I have to conclude that for me personally, anything yellow makes me look a little ill (my palette does not include any of the oranges or warmer yellows from the autumn palette in general)

I do have some very light pinks, browns and greens in my palette that might work better, and I want to shift my wardrobe toward more brown tinted basics with added greens, teals and purples.

Anyone with experience with a deep neutral palette whose skin also does NOT like yellow, who has found a nice light shade to substitute for white?

I'll include a picture of my palette :)

Type me :)

I posted earlier today with a few suggested color palettes for a capsule wardrobe, but I figured I would do this properly and take NMIP photos with actual drapes :) I tried to get different shades but I have a lot of blues, purples and pinks in the house, and almost no yellows and browns. So hopefully you can still make something out of it!

Edit: the consensus seems to be (true) autumn so far, but I have added two photos with white and cream drapes in a comment (also taken yesterday at the same time as the others) as requested :)

Type me for capsule wardrobe!

Hi all, I'm trying to start assembling a capsule wardrobe because all my clothes are now just a mix of different seasons and colors and I always feel like I cannot mix and match anything... But now that I'm trying to decide on a color palette, I'm realizing I don't actually know what my season is. I always assumed I'm a winter (because that's what my mom's told me based on her own colors), but by now I'm starting to see that I'm most likely not.

I have made a few testing palettes for my wardrobe and I would like you all to weigh in on my NMIP photo (taken in indirect daylight near my window) with these different palette-drapes. Where do you think I fit? These are based on soft summer (a lighter and a darker variety) and then I have a true autumn and a soft autumn version.

I can add additional drapes from specific colors if you all think I'm way off! :)
