I understand the confusion about the term "saturated" in this context, because in the visual art community "saturated" means very bright, and "desaturated" means the colour is closer towards grey. So it feels like the opposite to how i normally think of the word "saturated" when it comes to colour

after watching this video i realised i'm confused about things i didn't even know i could be confused about

[Livelovelife-tf]

I think you are naturally drawn to your seasonal colour palette. Being a south Asian I always thought I should wear warm colours because that’s what suits most Indian skin tones. Yet I always felt somewhat off in those colours. Have always been drawn to and felt comfortable in soft muted colours…..after a lot of research I realized that I am a soft summer! It was such a Eureka moment for me….🥰

The lip test was so helpful! I simply swatched a pinky purple and pinky peach eyeshadow on my lips near the corners of my mouth and blended a little to see which one looked the most similar and I came up with I’m cool toned!

Great vid, but I think it would’ve been best if you looked up “Cocoa Styling - for dark skin women”. She goes in debt about color analysis for women with darker skins in a way that genuinely helps. I feel like with most of these color analysis videos with women being white or light in color, you guys never really go into actual black women, which I understand may not be your fault. But I would love to see more people pull in color analysis that is geared for women of darker skin as well & include us more. They always put us in the category of just Autumns or summers and that’s not accurate at all :/. Literally I go through tons of these videos and they’re always the same. If you can, check her out!

Great video! I think there's a confusion about saturation. "Saturated" actually refers to a color's purest form. When you say a color is saturated you mean it's the most clear it can get. The opposite of saturated is desaturated, wich you get as the color looses it's vividness. The thing is most people relate "muted" with grayish tones, but in reality, with a medium value color, you'll notice it starts to look more grayish as it desaturates, but with a really dark or a really light value color, you'll only notice it by the absence of tone.

Determining whether you're warm or cool is way more difficult than I initially thought it was. My mom and I always thought we were both very cool toned, but after swatching my mom yesterday with the various colors we have around the house, lo and behold, she glows in the bright, *warm* colors! We were both so used to seeing her skin in cool tones, that it took us awhile to recognize how much better she looked in warm. Then I got to thinking about me, wondering if I was truly a soft summer because I had recently found a very muted, very blue top that washed me out. So I looked up several soft autumn color palettes and thought, "Would you lookie there, all of those colors are the colors that look good on me." I can't wear *clear* warm colors (the horror of me in bright yellow or orange 😬), and so I always thought I must be cool. Nope. Just need to be wearing *muted* warm colors instead.

I wish there was more info on how our seasons change with a tan. My skin is much more neutral and pale in the winter and incredibly yellow when I get a tan which I do easily in summer. I can wear colors with a tan that look not good in winter and the colors that flatter me in winter look very dull and wrong with a tan. I would love to see a video on this phenomena.

[kristenelaine]

This video helped so much! Thank you! As a medium toned black women, I've always been typed as a deep winter or autumn, but now I know I'm a true autumn! Completely changed my perspective!

[babsstrijkert]

Saturated means 'full of' color, saturated would be clear. ('It's clearly blue')
Muted or de-saturated is soft grayish. ('Is that green, grey or blue?')

Brightness, white balance and saturation :)

[FilippaSkog]

It’s so hard to be objective about these things! I thought I was cool for years and years, mainly because I have blue veins. Thought I had super grey ashy hair. Wore a lot of turquoise, which overpowered me (but brought out the blue in my very… hmm… bluegreengraynotreallyacolour eyes).

Began to realise only last year that I’m neutral and leaning towards warm when I got a muted terracotta coloured t-shirt as a gift, thought “oh no, I’m never gonna be able to wear this colour…” and put it on only to find it brought a healthy glow to my skin and coppery and brown tones in my hair. Now I’m pretty certain I’m a soft autumn.

However, since I’m more neutral than warm my first feature is muted and then light, so I need to stay away from the brighter colours of soft autumn, or pair them with neutrals such as off white.

I think the names are still confusing. I would opt for something like "streamlined vs. complex" colouring. This way it is clear what is meant: is your colour easy to name, it's simple and straighforward? Or is it compound, complex. with many add-ons, hues and tints mixed in?

As a biracial woman, I always thought I automatically had a medium coloring, but this video has me thinking I may actually be light instead. My whole life, I've always thought I am !ight for my ethnicity. My hair is lighter than my biracial people I've met, my eyes are light green/hazel instead of brown, and my skin tone is lighter than expected. This video made it click! Now I just have to decide between soft autumn and light spring. I've always considered myself a autumn, but I'm not sure now😅

[keatonpotatoes]

I've been draped, so I know 100% where I belong, however I have always struggled with warm vs cool, and I think it's because people dismiss neutral undertones. Even using the method you suggest, I really struggle because I actually have hints of both peach and purple. This was always my area of confusion. I typed myself as a bright spring, but I am actually a light summer. (your summary of bright "for a summer" TOTALLY made sense to me!)

Anyway, long winded way of saying that I loved your video, but wanted to point out that some people might struggle with cut and dry warm vs cool.

[preciousypenguino]

Since I have mixed/ oddball characteristics, I've come up with my own system. If a color gives me a "snow white" effect, whether mild or intense, warm or cool, then it works for me. 😊 I don't stress the season.

[somebody-brhm]

I agree u gotta repeat your features to look your best BUT as a girl with A LOT of redness in my skin i have found that blue colors make me look best while red ones make me look sicker

[morriganarcheron]

this was so helpful! I literally had given up on finding my color season because all the guides had been super confusing, now I know that I'm a Dark Winter!

[LexyLoki]

It would be wonderful if you could do a video to discuss those who don’t clearly fit into a category, eg, a redhead with dark blue-grey eyes and very cool skin.

A thought to share in case it might help someone:

Something that really helped me in being able to tell the undercurrent color of a person is how they look against their background. Like for example, your background is grey and you still look really alive and healthy in front of it. That tells us you have either grey or another matching color to grey in your undercurrent coloring. If a person has a warmer undercurrent they would look kind of sickly, pale, ghostly or tired against the grey background bc their undercurrent doesn't match the grey. Grey is typically a cool color, so if one looks good against a grey background it means they are cool toned. If they look good against both cool and warm backgrounds it means they are neutral toned.

This has helped me see why I've struggled with colour analysis for so long: I don't seem to be clearly anything!
Dark or light: I have extremely fair skin for my ethnicity (Mediterranean/Hispanic), medium-dark brown hair and dark brown eyes
Cool or warm: my skin is actually pretty neutral, my hair learns cool, my eye are very warm. From experience, neutral-cool colours are best, but it's definitely not something I would've figured out from my features at all
Saturated or clear: I have olive undertones so multiple colours are a natural part of my skin tone, my hair is pretty saturated I think (the exact shade it looks changes a lot with lighting), my eyes are more saturated than you'd expect considering how dark they are. But I know from experience that black works for me like no other, which seems to contradict all that
I've considered BW (feels too bright), DW (feels too heavy), TW (too cool) and SSu (but the black thing). Maybe I just need a different approach to colour!
