Thank you so much, Amy! It was a blast to create your beautiful palette and I'm thrilled you are enjoying it. LOVE those purples and reds on you! Enjoy!!

[MissSholia]

I love the fact that the person doing your color analysis told you to wear what you like. I think it's soooo important. There's usually so much focus on which colors people "should" wear and I see many people commenting they're so sad they "can't" wear their favorite color. We don't wanna feel miserable wearing clothes in colors that don't make us feel good, even if those colors suit our attributes well.

It feels like on the colour season wheel you would be between dark winter and dark autumn 😄 It looks so fun to have a personal colour pallet, your's looks gorgeous, especially for you 😊

I agree that white is much better than gray on you! So flattering.

[emmastone]

Wow you held up the pinks that were warmer than you expected and they look so good for you! Ginger made great picks :)

[missnewvillage]

The warm reds and reddish pinks make sense because I thought that the mini mock neck tank you made with the Sewrella Strawberry Fields color looked so good on you. Obsessed with the greens and blues in your palate. I love jewel tones even though I don’t think they look the best on me. I’ve been wanting to get a color analysis done to see if I’m wearing colors that look good on me. Super cool video!

[mphailey]

Ooh, I think she did a fantastic job! Those versions of reds are going to be stunning on you! Maybe you can go buy some new yarn lol! Thanks for sharing

[knittielynnie]

So cool! Or so warm 😂 I had my colors done, and then I made myiuki bead bracelets in my colors to wear when I shop for clothes and for yarn. And since they're my colors, I wear the bracelets stacked all the time. I know that you've been looking for a color consultant for a while...I'm glad that you had a great experience!

I like this video so much that I rewatched some segments. Thank you for sharing it with us. Ginger must be very talented and have an excellent eye for colour to be able to customize colour selection to each client. I think you have received a lovely colour palette to work with your natural colouring. I was colour analyzed this summer, and it was in person consultation. My consultant did not used „seasonal colour analysis” but she used an „ Absolute Colour System”. I am very happy with the results, and it helped me tremendously with picking the right colours in my projects. My palette is named „sophisticated”. Basically it is close to yours just lighter while keeping the colours smoky or a bit dusty. Since many of us who have some interest in the personal colour palette are familiar with the seasonal system, I would be in the „Dark Winter” category, but my personal palette does not have pastels and only darker greys, and overall darker neutrals, soft white and pearl grey. I was surprised as well to have some smoky warmer reds and greens, and a chestnut colour, in my palette and I love them. Although I have a cool undertone with a bit warm overtone, many greys, cool blues and cool purples don’t look good on me. I am sure you will enjoy incorporating your colours into your future projects.

I’ve always felt like you would look fantastic in a bright poppy red garment after that one mini scarf you made and it’s so satisfying to see colors like that in your professional pallet

[BiizziiLiizzii]

I've had color analysis with Ginger and it was 🎉. I really appreciate your detailed video because it walks step by step through everything. It's also fantastic to see your results - because I have a "no pastel" palette too, but seeing your face by your colors "that's so you!" and no one else.

[sharonmerton]

That was fun! Ginger has certainly captured your colours - from where I sit. The knits that you put up of you wearing with either a cross or tick, I totally agree with. Well done Amy - what a powerful activity for choosing your yarn and look in to doing the same for my yarn dyeing now 🥰

[rmgalardo]

Good to know your skin color looks good on you 😂 I like her way of doing the color analysis better than seasons, but I think if I was going to spend that amount regardless, I'd definitely go in person! There are just so many differences that could happen over computer screens, regardless of how much work you do on your end to take care of proper lighting. I'd love to do this kind of thing, especially for the same reason as you with the yarn 💖

[bethany]

I loved getting my colour palette done! Makes yarn shopping way more streamlined.

[munchmary]

I think blue looks good on anyone. Green can be a hard color to pull off so I’m happy it looks great on you! I always wanted a color analysis done on me.

[lisamitchell]

This is so cool! I did my colour analysis here in Germany and it was exactly the same process - love your knitting podcasts Amy!

[LinnieKnits]

Interesting to hear about another approach to color analysis!

Seasons are limiting in a way, but I think the benefit is that the color fan included colors I never would have thought of. I have yellows in my Dark Winter-fan (a color that I have written off in the past) and now I feel safer somehow to try it out! Same with purples, I’ve never liked how they look, but I’m more open to get purple now that I can find a shade that should look good 😄

[christybray]

Amy those colors are great! Loved seeing this process. So interesting that yellow is a no-go for you! It seems like yellow is always a hard color for a lot of people.
I’m definitely going to do this as well! Thanks for sharing!

Hello Amy! 👋🏾This was such an interesting video. I must admit that at first I was very skeptical of the process. But wow...she really matched you well. I have always thought that deep purples and blues suited you well. Now, I would love to see you knit a garment using one of those green colors that she suggested for you. 💚

[franwagner]

Thanks for the episode, Amy. It’s super interesting. On my screen though, that Anker Tee looks fabulous on you. 😊
