r/coloranalysis

Hey guys, I posted a few days ago asking for your opinion on my season - the vast majority said winter (lots of cool/true and some bright) but a few people thought summer.

I’ve just received my results from an online analysis with The Colour Mentor (IG) and her opinion is cool summer. I can’t share the report as it’s supposedly a copyright breach, however my list of best colours include dusty rose, smoky blue, mauve, cool taupe. She describes my palette as “soft, cool, refined”.

She based it off these same photos, as well as a collection from my past (hair colours, makeup, outfits etc). The first headshot (directly in front of window, no direct sunlight etc) is the closest representation of what I look like on an average day. I also provided some photos in different lighting conditions (one was under industrial LEDs - see last photo) in case it could be of any help. I have Raynaud’s and my skin becomes very blue and muted during a flare, which I made clear in the questionnaire.

I guess my question is whether you think I’ve been mistyped? Is it that my eyes are bolder with soft colours, even though my skin and shadows are much worse? Should I have left out the photos with unnatural lighting, or is it reasonable to think that I could indeed be a cool summer regardless?

NMIP, natural hair colour. Thanks!

The first few drapes are different shades of green since it’s the color I wear most (like most), after that, I tried to use what I had.

I really see no difference...soft autumn? Brown eyed soft summer?... Dark autumn?... A winter?

NMIP. Photos taken in indirect light near a window.

Some of these are repeat images from my soft autumn post. Some are repeat images from my warm autumn post. I do not have very much bright-colored clothing or much to drape for spring, so I’m working with that I have.

After all these exercises, my decision is still soft autumn, with the ability to wear some of the warm autumn more muted colors. I am warm, and I suspect a warm olive, which I believe helps bridge the gap between soft autumn and warm autumn. I definitely do not have high contrast.

thanks everyone who responded to my first post! i’ve tried to incorporate more deeper tones to see if i am a deep autumn and a deep winter? also, ive had some suggestions of bright spring or bright winter?! hopefully this will help sort out what season i am.

i have to mention that my natural hair color is the super dark almost blackish u can see at the top and the rest is dyed, also i didn’t choose other colors to take pics with cause i just can’t see myself being any other season but autumn or maybe winter

I am so confused! I was typed digitally as a true summer, which in their system means I suit cool, light and soft summer equally well. However, I feel SO washed out and uncomfortable in light and soft colours, I’m starting to wonder if I was mistyped.

I put my hair back because it’s dyed a much lighter blonde - my natural hair colour is very dark blonde with grey (the grey is actually pure white).

Unfortunately I do not have a white background available, so I hope this works. I tried to include lots of colours, but let me know if you need to see more. Thank you!!

my hair isn’t as shiny and jet black in the photos in IRL. it’s more grey & ashy.

i think i’m olive undertone because i always have a hard time figuring out my undertone. foundations that has a yellowish tint works best for me. i also prefer silver necklace/earrings!

Hello! One of my work besties of 10 years has told me since I’ve known her (before color analysis was a “thing”) that I’m a winter. What do you think? NMIP :)

Hi all! Please can you type me? I thought I was a cool summer (just based on my own looking in the mirror) but then I feel like in pictures some cool summer colors make me look really washed out, and I think I look quite good in brilliant white (but never black which is why I thought I'm probably not a winter).

Glasses still on because I'm blind as a bat and I couldn't see the screen to take the photos if I took them off sorry!

Also double sorry if it's too many photos, I just went for a range! 😂

Idk if the lighting is the best but I have nooo idea which is better for my skin tone
Edit: omg thanks everyone who replied :)

I tried photographing myself (on an iPhone) with as many colors, tones, and shades as possible given the 20-photo limit. I’ve been told I have a neutral skin tone (warm foundations are too yellow and cool foundations are too pink). I burn once in the summer and then tan. I have some freckles. There’s NMIP here, and I tried to make a similar facial expression each time. I took these photos in the same room (with a skylight) within moments of one another, in front of the same wall. Tell me what you think I am and thank you in advance. 😊

I am olive , that I know, I always felt i had cool undertone and yellow overtone, but now that I am thinking, maybe I lean a bit toward soft autmn actually, and not soft summer? One note is that I gaind some tan this summer.
There is a photo of how I look in the winter in the end

NMIP: Hi everyone, hopefully 4th times a charm as my neighbours are starting to think I’m nuts! As I’ve said previously, everything here is shot in the same spot, in RAW on my phone camera. There is only a few “bright” colours as it’s become quite obvious to me in this process that bright is definitely not flatter on me. I feel more confused than ever but I’m hoping after taking all your input I’ve got enough of a selection here to lead in a more definitive direction! I appreciate all your time for looking! Signed, a pregnant mama trying to get her pink back!

please help type me! looking to find a hair color, makeup, and clothes that suite me! NMIP :)

(sorry my hair isn’t done lol)

i have always struggled to find my season and the sub type too - pls help me! i think i can tell somewhat in the photos, but not 100%, thanks!

NMIP. So I tried to get similar pictures in front of a white background together with the warm tones I was able to find (not a lot, but maybe enough).

This time with an index for easier discussion.

Thanks in advance :)
