Contradicting Warm and Cool tones, low contrast, and central heterochromia.

*EDIT: as suggested, tomorrow I will add pictures with my hair tied back and more color swatches. I live in Europe and it's already dark so there isn't natural lighting right now. This is my natural hair color, but lightened to a copper color from sunlight. I'm considering changing the color because I do not like it on my face.

What season am I? I cannot figure it out.

I have lots of warm tones (brown hair with very red/copper undertones), yellow central heterochromia (see eye closeup). I feel like I only really look nice in black or dark muted or greyish colors. I've included a few color "drapes", it's nothing professional. I'm curious to see what you guys think. I haven't seen a lot of people with such coppery brown hair or heterochromia. My hair usually stays kind of a mousy brown but turns copper with sunlight.

My guess is some kind of Autumn, but I can't pull of any pale colors.

Anyone else finding it tough to find clothes in true summer colours at the moment?

It's really frustrating! I've finally figured out what looks good on me and now I can't find many clothes in those colours. I'm especially looking for greens and blues which are my best colours, but greens are all super warm and blues are all too light at the moment. Turquoise only seems to come in practically fluorescent tones.

Are others seeing the same? If you've found any clothing sites/brands with some good true summer colours (greens and blues especially) please let me know!

Drapes from image institute with names

For reference. I dyed my hair dark back for a balayage. Natural hair is one or two shades darker with a neutral undertone. It was dyed a warm 6

Which hair colors suit me best?

Which suits me best, and which is maybe second best? If you like blonde, can you lmk your 2nd favorite because blonde is so expensive to keep up 😭

FWIW I’ve never been professionally analyzed but most of my research says true summer. I feel pretty confident I’m not a spring or winter.

P.s. my natural color is in the first pic, dark ash blonde/light ash brown. I had to put it in a ponytail to just show my roots because my current lengths are very bright.

Gold or Silver?

It seems gold blends and silver stands out but I don’t know what that means about which looks best? Thanks!

Soft winter pocket-sized fabric swatch

TLDR: I’m looking for a pocket-sized fabric swatch collection for the soft winter palette.

I was typed in person as a bright winter a few years ago. The person who did it used the 12 season system. I was really hard to type and she and her coworker went back and forth between summer and winter seasons with me.

She gave me this awesome collection of bright winter fabric swatches that I keep in my purse. Since realizing I’m a soft winter, I’d like to find something similar in that palette. She’s since moved away so I can’t contact her for help.

My initial google search only came up with some plastic things for a key chain and a very abbreviated palette. I’m looking for something more comprehensive like in this photo. less

Which is better!

I’ve self-typed as a light spring, but why do I feel like the red top looks better than the light blue (which is in light spring pallet)? Or am I completely off about my season?

Is dark/deep winter makeup not ideal for me?

First image is without any lipstick. I have an olive overtone, so that complicates everything.
I look so different depending on lighting.

Winter? Cool Summer?

NMIP
Please help!
I only ever wear black and I hate how I look with gold jewellery. I think my undertone is neutral leaning cool. My natural hair is mid brown but I usually dye it darker.
Friends always type me as Winter, but I’ve had cool summer or soft autumn too.

I hope these drapes bring enough information

It's me again! I hope this doesn't bother anyone, I just really want to start looking good and buy make up that actually suits me. I know there are some stores where there are people that can help with that but I don’t have that where I live

Okay, so in my last post someone mention that the drapes I saw using didn’t have the same quality of depth to be considered so I decided to take all the shade I could found of all the colors to see if this could be of more helped

I promise this is the last time I bother you guys with this 😭 if this still isn’t enough to get an answer I'll just save money to get it profesionally done irl

Thank you all in advance

Added all the colors I could think of

Thank you all for your patience and kindness. Some of you adviced me to try to find warm drapes and people usually say that orange can only be warm so I decided to try different shades of it

I also added the pics from my first post

Thank you all again!

I’m going to do irl drapes tomorrow, so thought it would be fun to compare everyone’s responses and thoughts.

Gold or Silver

I’ve always been a silver girl but I got my grandmas 14k gold wedding band. I don’t know if it suits me or not. I took picture in different lighting.
I used to think I was too pale for gold but now I’m not sure 🤔
Thank you in advance 💚

**I have painted my hair in a different color so I decided to wear something white on my hair NMIP

i hate my hair colour

I got my hair done a few weeks ago - I asked for a dark cool ash brown and ended up getting a colour close to black (7th pic), it definitely wasn’t jet black at that point but the point is that it looked the same as before but with a lot of warm red and purple dimension, as she did just highlights on me, and toned it with a purple and green toner, so definitely not what I asked for, because I was looking for a lighter and primarily COOLER colour. Anyways, I got a full refund a few weeks later as the colour washed out to this disgusting red brown purple patchy colour (pics 1-6), which is not disgusting itself but it looks atrocious on me, I just cant figure out why!! My best guess is that it is way too warm for my features, but genuinely I personally think that it washes me out very badly. And it makes me miss my black hair (last 4 pics) which made my eyes look greener! So, I just want to know your opinion and what you think I should do, does this confirm that I am fully cool toned and if so should I get it toned or maybe lightened again and toned to a proper ash colour?
