I'm also looking forward and curious about the comparison - I'm True autumn and I can't wear any of the Specific season subgroup palettes - they don't suit me, they don't fit me at all, I have to have another palette - a True autumn color palette with different properties than the Specific season subgroups , which also contain the characteristics of their sister seasons.
I did their virtual colour analysis, and they have me as a True Autumn. It has been so interesting and surprising. I am loving these videos and I am so so happy I had the analysis done.
I really liked the examples of the four summer seasons next to eachother. It made the differences much more clear. And I would love to see the other seasons presented this way as well.
I agree with these ladies that you should choose your analyst based on the method that they use. These ladies are fabulous! I love the analysis that they did for me. I have had other analysis where I did not feel that the colors suit me. These ladies are spot on!
I was initially set on getting a in-person colour analysis here in Norway and took a online analysis from these 2 ladies (while waiting for the in-person analysis here). I assumed the in-person analysis would be better, but here in Norway they use another method. However, the online analysis was so good I will never go for any other method or anyone else ❤ I'm a true summer
True Summer here! As in your method’s definition. Helped me sooooo much to learn this. It’s a little bit of a bummer to not have a sister subseason BUT I get the benefit of being able to choose from any and all of the whole summer season colors!
Love that you took the colour out of some of the video. It would be awesome to show the high intensity/low intensity background tests in a quick black or white when you are analysing it so we can see it without the colours causing bias. I think the green apple vs mossy/olive green on the warm tests often put people off because green apple is so abrasive. But a quick black and white edit might put it into context what we are looking for
Lovely explanation. I am confident that I am in the summer season but can’t quite figure out my sub season. I quite like the soft sub group because it can dip into autumn though!
I was analyzed as a True Autumn, but the 3 characteristics (depth, chroma and temperature are not exactly equal). I am slightly deeper in the depth scale. So in general, some of the slightly deeper colours look better on me than Autumn Soft, which can make me look pale. I have also found that sometimes the colour itself makes a difference. It’s fun to experiment with different Autumn colours to see what works and what doesn’t. Sometimes just a small difference in depth or warmth can make a big difference as to how they look on me.
@@BlueBird8925 i agree with you , i am also an True Autumn but in my best colours i've received 90% of my best ones in Warm and Dark subgroups, because i am leaning medium-dark, but this is more than enough to start your journey i believe, there are tons of colours, some harder to find .
In some systems there are "dark/deep/bright summer" - a person is defintely not a winter (needs more softer colors) but is clearly in the deepest end of summer palette. Where would you put that in your system - more cool or soft summer etc?
You both are such an obvious example of cool & warm but honestly I’m perplexed as to my season. I know your undertone does not change but now as a senior with white hair I swear my palette has changed!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 😊 It’s true that undertones stay the same, but as we age and our hair changes, our overall coloring can shift a bit. It’s totally normal for your palette to feel different over time! We’d be happy to help you explore how your colors may have evolved and find the best ones for this stage in your life. ❤

Thanks for this video. There are so many opinions on this and what a true season is or should be. As you said. It’s confusing. I think, from all explanations I heard, that’s yours makes the most sense.

There is an upate to this method, te least here in brazil, where 4 new seasons where created to solve this issue. Soft winter is one of them. Check it out!

They use the same word to mean something different. But anyway! What matters is that colour analysis is very confusing when you mix up different systems 😅 That’s why it’s important to check what system someone uses before listening to their advice Yes it makes sense that those colours would be too bright for you. It’s so cool that you know exactly which colours from the autumn palettes are best for you 🥰 That’s one of the reasons I love Giulia and Alessandra, they look at everyone as an individual and their analysis is thorough!
If you type someone as a True season, what do you send them for color references? If someone’s a true summer, do they take home each palette for cool, soft, and light summer, or is there a unique true summer reference you give them?
@ That’s what I thought! How does a True palette reference compare to the other subseason references? Are all the subseasons on the one card? Or is it a different palette entirely with different colors? In some systems, a true season is its own palette, but that wouldn’t make sense here, so I’m wondering.
@@esotere Their True Pallete seems to be borrowing from each subseason, but making sure it the colors aren't too close to the sister seasons. I've received two palletes (True and Bright because they thought I had a good match with those too). My guess is that the colors I can borrow from winter bright are the ones that are not so close to spring bright.
I love being a soft summer, and being able to use the whole summer palette. I use soft summer mostly since being analysed as its amazing 9n me ❤ Your method makes perfect sense!
omggg im so glad y'all did a video of this because ive been asking in reddit and so confused because yall typed me Winter Cool recently and i dont know which ppl are pallettes people are talking about
Thank you for this explanation! I have been using more of the autumn palette in my clothes and I feel like I might fit in the true category! Maybe I just want to because I love the palette so much!
I had my report done earlier this year and got true winter result. The consultant told me I could wear all the colors of the winter pallette and that confused me. Now it makes sense! Thank you ladies for explaining! 🩶
One reason I really like your approach is it's not either-or. I really look best in the OG autumn palette from Color Me Beautiful, so I got off to a good start back in the day, then all these other versions started coming out that got me confused: was I warm or deep or soft? I don't necessarily like all the colours in the true autumn palette but I absolutely cannot stray outside it - colours have to be warm and soft to suit me, and deep is better than light, so I guess that makes me a true autumn. I have an array of seasonal colour theory books on my shelf and none of them combine true seasons with the subtypes, hence my confusion - maybe you should write a book. Another possibility for your diagram that would work for many people would be bidirectional arrows indicating that range that works for different people around the circle, but of course that wouldn't include those who are predominantly dark or light.
Thank you! You did my colors using the pics I sent you. I have had this question since then. The confusion comes when I try to learn more about my winter cool season because it seems to be named something else in other color systems. WHAT METHOD DO YOU LADIES USE? I am excited for the sister seasons video!
Within the subgroups are there still differences in lightness, softness and so on? So are there nuances of the colours of a subgroup palette that will fit one person of the subgroup better than another?
Hi lovely Alessandra and Giulia! Thanks for being lovely and putting out amazing content for us to learn from and to have fun! Just one question: Can person with light coloring be a Winter? I've found some analysts who claim that naturally blond people can be typed as Winters. Thanks!
Can somebody please confirm? As a spring light, I should be borrowing from summer light BEFORE any of the other spring subgroups, right? But they should also work too, but less than summer light, despite my warm undertone. Did I get it right?
@@barborabratova4346 yes because your main characteristics are lighter colours. So your body chemistry reacts beautiful with those colours, so you have to focus on your warm and light and then dipp in your season sister season but this doesn't mean that light summer palette will work completely for you, just some colours. You are warm undertone, summer is cool.
I’m a Spring Bright, and as much as I love Spring Light and Spring Warm colours - and I do wear them, especially as I age - the best palette to borrow from for me is Winter Bright, as it works better with my more neutral undertone.
@@barborabratova4346 my understanding from them is that typically no. Typically the other sub seasons of your season are next best although there are some cases where your sister season is the next best.
But what if someone is neutral undertone, medium intensity, medium value? I believe it’s called universal palette, have you ever analyzed someone of such season?
I have a question. If someone is a True Autumn, is it right that she/he couldn't handle the coolest and darkest colors of Dark Autumn, the brightest and warmest colors of Warm Autumn, and the lightest and palest colors of Soft Autumn? Like those extremes missing from the appearance. Thank you! 😊
Are you guys familiar with the 22 season color palette system? I am going to set up an appointment with someone who uses this? Anything I should know ahead of time. Like is it ok or flawed?
@@titocantarero1330 if you feel their system aligns with your preferences and beliefs and with what you have discovered til' now about you,than go with it. The 22 palettes system extend the 16 palettes to another in between subgroups like true muted, true bright, true cool, true warm etc. Carol bradley uses it but she also explained few weeks back the subtle difference between shades in the palettes for similar seasons. Plus this additional 6 palettes are extremely rare results.
I wonder in which season or subgroup a person would fall whose features are light, soft, warm (or bright, light, cool etc.)? I get it that too many subgroups would make it too complicated but are the missing combinations so rare you skip them or are they "hidden" in your subgroups? Love your videos, by the way, the best explained color analysis I have come across!
Bright, light and cool is basically light summer. It is close to spring which is a bright season. Also bright winter has relatively light colors and is even brighter than light summer. Light soft warm would be light spring, since these colors are relatively soft for the spring season and very light, but still warm. Or warm autumn if you are not looking for extremely light colors but still soft and warm.
I’m wondering why the combinations are so specifically 4 quadrants? Couldn’t it be possible for someone to be: 1. light, warm and soft? 2. dark, cool and soft? 3. light, cool and bright? 4. dark, warm and bright? By the way, I love your channel🥰
I recently got my first Color Analysis done by Giulia and Alessandra! 🌟 I can really recommend doing it because it changed everything for me. I thought I was a COLD and muted Summer … to find out I am WARM True Spring. I was never really able to put outfits together and now I know why! Thanks Again Alessandra & Giulia !! 🩷
They have - look out for the video where they each analyse a client separately (one analysing on-line & the other analysing the same client in-person). It was awesome!
When I see all these summers in a line I think gosh I must be a summer. But my analysis showed I was cool winter. My problem is always the hair! My hair has some warmth naturally and I’m dark blonde having been naturally platinum as a child and hairdressers somehow keep enhancing the warmth even when I am going in for ash colours. Ongoing issue…. My only option is dramatic hair change and there’s probably a reason I died my hair black for 15 years when you ger😂 not sure about the tatts….
I think what confuses people is that other systems call Winter cool "true winter", autumn warm "true autumn" etc! - especially when looking at palettes online, it can be confusing! So rather than being called "true"... I think the right word in your system could be "balanced" - it conveys the meaning even clearer that this person doesn't have a dominant subgroup 😊
I think that better is True season (doesn´t go to another season) and than season going to other season - e.g. True Autumn, Autumn going to spring, Autumn going to summer, Autumn going to winter.
@@ColorTypology exactly! A true Season is kind of a balanced but Warm Autumn mean that your dominant characteristic is actually warm you can flow into Warm Spring , Deep Autumn will be actually deep and your flow sister season is Deep Winter etc. Me, as an True Autumn was recommended to stay in my Autumn Season because to much , to bright is actually not my best thing, of course you can still wear colours in another season but you actually have to put more effort to look put together.
I was typed as deep autumn, my Mum was typed as deep winter, my Dad was typed as soft autumn. I thought the deep autumn & deep winter palettes had more in common than deep autumn & soft autumn.
I'm so confused. This is not what my colour analysis taught me. She said a cool winter and a true winter are the same thing. Is your method universal or your own? I was always taught as a cool winter, the muted tones of a cool summer was aesthetic suicide as it completely mismatches the intensity of winters.
Hi. I got my colors done by you and got cool summer. Can you explain at all why all blues (assuming intensity and value are correct) are not in season. Isn’t any blue, cooler than a cool pink, or purple, or green? Also can you explain more about identifying a cool vs warm blue. Is it that true blue is the coolest and the more red or yellow added, the warmer?
@ I know already a lot of blue in the summer cool palette but I find it harder to identify which are best. Determining a cool pink/red, or purple, or green, I don’t find too difficult, but blue, I get confused. Aren’t they all cool.
In the way we talk about colours outside of colour analysis, yes blue is a cool colour and is always cooler than a pink or green. But in colour analysis when they say a cool blue or a warm blue they’re talking about a cooler version of blue and a warmer version of blue. The warm versions of blue have a hint of yellow that makes them harmonise with people with a warm undertone because those people also have an extra hint of yellow. I think of it like an undercoat in an oil painting, if you don’t know what that is google oil painting undercoat and you’ll hopefully see what I mean! The undercoat helps the colours painted over the top harmonise together. When we look at the finished painting we see many different colours, but there’s a hint of the undercoat everywhere that ties it all together. Colour analysis tries to create harmony in a similar way. When they talk about trying to see the undertone in a colour or person you can imagine it as trying to see the undercoat in a finished painting!
Good question! I want to know how that works from an scientific perspective. I can tesitify though, that in my in person analysis, I tried two navy's. They had the same depth en were both relatively soft (the warm one was a bit softer than the cool one) but one was warm and one was cool. The difference on my face was huge!! One made me patchy and yellow and the other one crisp and clear. I have seen the same effect with lighter blues (cool light blue en warm turqoise blue). The warm blue looks off, even though the colors are so close, seemingly. They are both dominantly blue (cool). How does that work? Why does this drop of yellow has such a huge effect while a sage green or emerald green does look good on a cool person? It has a lot more yellow than the warm blues... I hope they will answer your question in an upcoming video. I would love to know the answer.
The point is that the True season has a different color palette with different characteristics than the Specific subgroup season. Because Specific subgroup season always has certain characteristics of its sister season in the color palette, which True season cannot have, e.g. Warm Autumn radiance, while True autumn must be muted. So, rather than talking, you need to know and understand those specific color palettes, of which there are actually 16 different ones in this 16-type system.
@@ColorTypology Carol Bradley took those extra True Seasons palettes few weeks ago and explained that actually the difference between those colours are very subtle and people from Autumn can intercalate them and sometimes even with Spring Season ( so basically is what Giulia and Alessandra try to explain altogether ).Of course if you look horrible in pinks like me as an Autumn you will not focus on many coral pinks , you will go with yellows, oranges,reds etc . When i received my best colours from Giulia and Alessandra they offered me 26 best colours and for example i love blue but there weren't many blues, only some teals , so i've understood that i don't look good in blue and to try avoid it on my upper body, but some other people are stucked on their preferences and even after analysis they don't want to accept the truth and others that watch to many different systems/ interpretations videos and become super confused.
@@AndreeaC. The connection does not work - each of the Specific season palette has different colors with different characteristics and their connection does not form a complete system, they are 3 different palettes and True season is the fourth different palette - and everyone only suits their own palette. It is necessary to understand the individual characteristics of colors - e.g. Autumn: "winter" autumn and "spring" autumn have bright colors - True autumn cannot have those, they must only have muted colors, "summer" autumn has cool colors - True autumn has only warmed up, etc. I'm writing my own experience - I'm True autumn and I have a palette other than 3 Specific seasons, and their colors don't suit me, nor do they go together with my palette (cold doesn't go with warm, bright doesn't go with muted).
@@ColorTypology i agree with you but in reality you will probably find more True Autumn colors like terracotta, brick reds, olive green, mustards etc. for example, than very specific interpretations of these colors in each subgroups going shopping, so what Carol explained is that people have to stop being so literal with color interpretation, she took True Autumn, Warm Autumn, Warm Spring etc. Cards and put them together side by side and explained very clearly that you can work with most of those colours no mather what you find in stores , you don't have to stop buying just because you didn't find the exact shade, tinted interpretation of 1 colour that is in your assigned palette. I hope i am making sense. Of course each season have some colors in palettes that are no go like black, grey, super bright neon colors that suit only the specific sub groups ,but the generic colors will suit almost everybody in the warm or cool seasons depending where they fall into.So if a person let's say is Warm Spring and and want to buy some brown neutral clothes go shopping and find not Camel brown but some muted Autumn brown, i'm sure it will end up buying it because 1. you can't find explicit colors interpretation and 2. if you need something immediately, your buying impulse will activate. In theory everything is simple but in reality you will find many colors very hard to actually get 😑. Again i am speaking from reality as someone who did the analysis and started to navigate throught colors and etc.
@@AndreeaC. At first, I shopped as you write, because you have to wear something :-D And then I realized that some feature just didn't fit me. So I gradually bought only my exact True Autumn colors = muted+warm+medium dark+medium contrast - and gradually threw out the inaccurate ones. Now I have everything just right, everything I need and I continue to buy more, yes - it costs a lot of time, but I found that the biggest selection is second hand, so I go regularly and I already have enough things that I don't need to compromise on things that they are not exactly for me. But it took time and effort, but I enjoy it and I'm happy with the result and I can see the difference.
@@ColorTypology i am an True Autumn too, and i found everything i wanted to buy because we actually are more fortunate then other subgroups and yes i buy second hand a lot but other people from rarer subgroups aren't so fortunate and also not thrifting, they probably want new clothes. Believe me is super hard to find some colours if you go in stores , let's say i find much easier an terracotta sweater than someone in Bright Spring a Ferrari red. Stores have Winter and Autumn colours and some Light Palettes colours , probably some Summer here and there but very hard for many others to find specific ones. Second hand is easier to find everything.
In other words, "true" seasons are the original 4 seasons. Which most people don't fit, hence dividing into at least 12 to 16 types. Which still doesn't fit everyone.
I have never seen a true Winter or True Autumn on your channel. I would love to see one of these through the analysis process.
I haven't even seen a bright season
I'm also looking forward and curious about the comparison - I'm True autumn and I can't wear any of the Specific season subgroup palettes - they don't suit me, they don't fit me at all, I have to have another palette - a True autumn color palette with different properties than the Specific season subgroups , which also contain the characteristics of their sister seasons.

They use the same word to mean something different. But anyway! What matters is that colour analysis is very confusing when you mix up different systems 😅 That’s why it’s important to check what system someone uses before listening to their advice
Yes it makes sense that those colours would be too bright for you. It’s so cool that you know exactly which colours from the autumn palettes are best for you 🥰 That’s one of the reasons I love Giulia and Alessandra, they look at everyone as an individual and their analysis is thorough!
Very good, that cleared that up for me …thank you
Love the updated graph! Makes so much sense!
This was so helpful! I loved seeing the example of the 4 different summers! Thank you ❤
You're welcome! We're so glad you found it helpful. 😊
If you type someone as a True season, what do you send them for color references? If someone’s a true summer, do they take home each palette for cool, soft, and light summer, or is there a unique true summer reference you give them?
They only give one palette :)
@ That’s what I thought! How does a True palette reference compare to the other subseason references? Are all the subseasons on the one card? Or is it a different palette entirely with different colors? In some systems, a true season is its own palette, but that wouldn’t make sense here, so I’m wondering.
@@esotere Their True Pallete seems to be borrowing from each subseason, but making sure it the colors aren't too close to the sister seasons. I've received two palletes (True and Bright because they thought I had a good match with those too). My guess is that the colors I can borrow from winter bright are the ones that are not so close to spring bright.
Thanks 😊
Please a video about olive tones and if it is true that this type of skin can only be cool
Ahh. Penny has dropped now. Clears up some of my confusion when talking to others. Thanks. H x
I really wish you would have done a visual line up of winters the way you did summers. But I still enjoyed the information!
I love being a soft summer, and being able to use the whole summer palette. I use soft summer mostly since being analysed as its amazing 9n me ❤
Your method makes perfect sense!
I love the explanation, thanks!!!
Thank you for another great video! I am so happy I found your channel. It would be amazing if you could compare soft summer to a soft winter.
omggg im so glad y'all did a video of this because ive been asking in reddit and so confused because yall typed me Winter Cool recently and i dont know which ppl are pallettes people are talking about
Thank you for this explanation! I have been using more of the autumn palette in my clothes and I feel like I might fit in the true category! Maybe I just want to because I love the palette so much!
Amazing
I had my report done earlier this year and got true winter result. The consultant told me I could wear all the colors of the winter pallette and that confused me. Now it makes sense! Thank you ladies for explaining! 🩶
One reason I really like your approach is it's not either-or. I really look best in the OG autumn palette from Color Me Beautiful, so I got off to a good start back in the day, then all these other versions started coming out that got me confused: was I warm or deep or soft? I don't necessarily like all the colours in the true autumn palette but I absolutely cannot stray outside it - colours have to be warm and soft to suit me, and deep is better than light, so I guess that makes me a true autumn. I have an array of seasonal colour theory books on my shelf and none of them combine true seasons with the subtypes, hence my confusion - maybe you should write a book.
Another possibility for your diagram that would work for many people would be bidirectional arrows indicating that range that works for different people around the circle, but of course that wouldn't include those who are predominantly dark or light.
Thank you! You did my colors using the pics I sent you. I have had this question since then. The confusion comes when I try to learn more about my winter cool season because it seems to be named something else in other color systems. WHAT METHOD DO YOU LADIES USE? I am excited for the sister seasons video!
Winter cool = winter going to summer = January, Sultry, Elegant Winter.
@ Thank you for teaching me!!!
Our method is the Italian 12+4 :)
@ thank you ladies! Love you guys!
What do you think of the House of Colour analysis system?
Within the subgroups are there still differences in lightness, softness and so on? So are there nuances of the colours of a subgroup palette that will fit one person of the subgroup better than another?
❤❤❤❤
Hi lovely Alessandra and Giulia! Thanks for being lovely and putting out amazing content for us to learn from and to have fun! Just one question: Can person with light coloring be a Winter? I've found some analysts who claim that naturally blond people can be typed as Winters. Thanks!
Can somebody please confirm? As a spring light, I should be borrowing from summer light BEFORE any of the other spring subgroups, right? But they should also work too, but less than summer light, despite my warm undertone. Did I get it right?
@@barborabratova4346 yes because your main characteristics are lighter colours. So your body chemistry reacts beautiful with those colours, so you have to focus on your warm and light and then dipp in your season sister season but this doesn't mean that light summer palette will work completely for you, just some colours. You are warm undertone, summer is cool.
@@AndreeaC. Thank you!
I’m a Spring Bright, and as much as I love Spring Light and Spring Warm colours - and I do wear them, especially as I age - the best palette to borrow from for me is Winter Bright, as it works better with my more neutral undertone.
@@barborabratova4346 my understanding from them is that typically no. Typically the other sub seasons of your season are next best although there are some cases where your sister season is the next best.
But what if someone is neutral undertone, medium intensity, medium value? I believe it’s called universal palette, have you ever analyzed someone of such season?
I have a question. If someone is a True Autumn, is it right that she/he couldn't handle the coolest and darkest colors of Dark Autumn, the brightest and warmest colors of Warm Autumn, and the lightest and palest colors of Soft Autumn? Like those extremes missing from the appearance. Thank you! 😊
Hello! Can deep winter wear bright winter? Anyone?
How do I know if I am a Bright Winter or a True Winter?
Are you guys familiar with the 22 season color palette system? I am going to set up an appointment with someone who uses this? Anything I should know ahead of time. Like is it ok or flawed?
@@titocantarero1330 if you feel their system aligns with your preferences and beliefs and with what you have discovered til' now about you,than go with it. The 22 palettes system extend the 16 palettes to another in between subgroups like true muted, true bright, true cool, true warm etc. Carol bradley uses it but she also explained few weeks back the subtle difference between shades in the palettes for similar seasons. Plus this additional 6 palettes are extremely rare results.
I wonder in which season or subgroup a person would fall whose features are light, soft, warm (or bright, light, cool etc.)? I get it that too many subgroups would make it too complicated but are the missing combinations so rare you skip them or are they "hidden" in your subgroups? Love your videos, by the way, the best explained color analysis I have come across!
Bright, light and cool is basically light summer. It is close to spring which is a bright season. Also bright winter has relatively light colors and is even brighter than light summer.
Light soft warm would be light spring, since these colors are relatively soft for the spring season and very light, but still warm. Or warm autumn if you are not looking for extremely light colors but still soft and warm.
Can't wait to see more true seasons analyzed on the channel. ❤
I’m wondering why the combinations are so specifically 4 quadrants? Couldn’t it be possible for someone to be:
1. light, warm and soft?
2. dark, cool and soft?
3. light, cool and bright?
4. dark, warm and bright?
By the way, I love your channel🥰
The primary characteristics are always undertone and intensity! If someone is Light, Warm and Soft, they're Autumn :)
Thanks! :)
👌🏼😊
Do you belive that there are inbetween types like "true light" or "soft spring"?
I recently got my first Color Analysis done by Giulia and Alessandra! 🌟
I can really recommend doing it because it changed everything for me.
I thought I was a COLD and muted Summer … to find out I am WARM True Spring.
I was never really able to put outfits together and now I know why!
Thanks Again Alessandra & Giulia !! 🩷
Thank YOU so much for trusting us and for this beautiful comment. We're so glad you're embracing your Spring palette 💛
Have you done a Cool Winter Analysis video?
They have - look out for the video where they each analyse a client separately (one analysing on-line & the other analysing the same client in-person). It was awesome!
When I see all these summers in a line I think gosh I must be a summer. But my analysis showed I was cool winter. My problem is always the hair! My hair has some warmth naturally and I’m dark blonde having been naturally platinum as a child and hairdressers somehow keep enhancing the warmth even when I am going in for ash colours. Ongoing issue…. My only option is dramatic hair change and there’s probably a reason I died my hair black for 15 years when you ger😂 not sure about the tatts….
I think what confuses people is that other systems call Winter cool "true winter", autumn warm "true autumn" etc! - especially when looking at palettes online, it can be confusing! So rather than being called "true"... I think the right word in your system could be "balanced" - it conveys the meaning even clearer that this person doesn't have a dominant subgroup 😊
I think that better is True season (doesn´t go to another season) and than season going to other season - e.g. True Autumn, Autumn going to spring, Autumn going to summer, Autumn going to winter.
@@ColorTypology exactly! A true Season is kind of a balanced but Warm Autumn mean that your dominant characteristic is actually warm you can flow into Warm Spring , Deep Autumn will be actually deep and your flow sister season is Deep Winter etc. Me, as an True Autumn was recommended to stay in my Autumn Season because to much , to bright is actually not my best thing, of course you can still wear colours in another season but you actually have to put more effort to look put together.
I was typed as deep autumn, my Mum was typed as deep winter, my Dad was typed as soft autumn. I thought the deep autumn & deep winter palettes had more in common than deep autumn & soft autumn.
I'm so confused. This is not what my colour analysis taught me. She said a cool winter and a true winter are the same thing. Is your method universal or your own?
I was always taught as a cool winter, the muted tones of a cool summer was aesthetic suicide as it completely mismatches the intensity of winters.
Hi. I got my colors done by you and got cool summer. Can you explain at all why all blues (assuming intensity and value are correct) are not in season. Isn’t any blue, cooler than a cool pink, or purple, or green? Also can you explain more about identifying a cool vs warm blue. Is it that true blue is the coolest and the more red or yellow added, the warmer?
Isn't Savoy blue in the summer cool palette?
I'd also love a video about warm vs cool blue!
@ I know already a lot of blue in the summer cool palette but I find it harder to identify which are best. Determining a cool pink/red, or purple, or green, I don’t find too difficult, but blue, I get confused. Aren’t they all cool.
In the way we talk about colours outside of colour analysis, yes blue is a cool colour and is always cooler than a pink or green. But in colour analysis when they say a cool blue or a warm blue they’re talking about a cooler version of blue and a warmer version of blue. The warm versions of blue have a hint of yellow that makes them harmonise with people with a warm undertone because those people also have an extra hint of yellow.
I think of it like an undercoat in an oil painting, if you don’t know what that is google oil painting undercoat and you’ll hopefully see what I mean! The undercoat helps the colours painted over the top harmonise together. When we look at the finished painting we see many different colours, but there’s a hint of the undercoat everywhere that ties it all together. Colour analysis tries to create harmony in a similar way. When they talk about trying to see the undertone in a colour or person you can imagine it as trying to see the undercoat in a finished painting!
@ that makes a lot of sense. Thank you!!
Good question! I want to know how that works from an scientific perspective. I can tesitify though, that in my in person analysis, I tried two navy's. They had the same depth en were both relatively soft (the warm one was a bit softer than the cool one) but one was warm and one was cool. The difference on my face was huge!! One made me patchy and yellow and the other one crisp and clear. I have seen the same effect with lighter blues (cool light blue en warm turqoise blue). The warm blue looks off, even though the colors are so close, seemingly. They are both dominantly blue (cool). How does that work? Why does this drop of yellow has such a huge effect while a sage green or emerald green does look good on a cool person? It has a lot more yellow than the warm blues... I hope they will answer your question in an upcoming video. I would love to know the answer.
True season is not rare as you say, but True autumn with blue eyes is said to be rare? It's me :-D
The point is that the True season has a different color palette with different characteristics than the Specific subgroup season. Because Specific subgroup season always has certain characteristics of its sister season in the color palette, which True season cannot have, e.g. Warm Autumn radiance, while True autumn must be muted. So, rather than talking, you need to know and understand those specific color palettes, of which there are actually 16 different ones in this 16-type system.
@@ColorTypology Carol Bradley took those extra True Seasons palettes few weeks ago and explained that actually the difference between those colours are very subtle and people from Autumn can intercalate them and sometimes even with Spring Season ( so basically is what Giulia and Alessandra try to explain altogether ).Of course if you look horrible in pinks like me as an Autumn you will not focus on many coral pinks , you will go with yellows, oranges,reds etc . When i received my best colours from Giulia and Alessandra they offered me 26 best colours and for example i love blue but there weren't many blues, only some teals , so i've understood that i don't look good in blue and to try avoid it on my upper body, but some other people are stucked on their preferences and even after analysis they don't want to accept the truth and others that watch to many different systems/ interpretations videos and become super confused.
@@AndreeaC. The connection does not work - each of the Specific season palette has different colors with different characteristics and their connection does not form a complete system, they are 3 different palettes and True season is the fourth different palette - and everyone only suits their own palette. It is necessary to understand the individual characteristics of colors - e.g. Autumn: "winter" autumn and "spring" autumn have bright colors - True autumn cannot have those, they must only have muted colors, "summer" autumn has cool colors - True autumn has only warmed up, etc. I'm writing my own experience - I'm True autumn and I have a palette other than 3 Specific seasons, and their colors don't suit me, nor do they go together with my palette (cold doesn't go with warm, bright doesn't go with muted).
@@ColorTypology i agree with you but in reality you will probably find more True Autumn colors like terracotta, brick reds, olive green, mustards etc. for example, than very specific interpretations of these colors in each subgroups going shopping, so what Carol explained is that people have to stop being so literal with color interpretation, she took True Autumn, Warm Autumn, Warm Spring etc. Cards and put them together side by side and explained very clearly that you can work with most of those colours no mather what you find in stores , you don't have to stop buying just because you didn't find the exact shade, tinted interpretation of 1 colour that is in your assigned palette. I hope i am making sense. Of course each season have some colors in palettes that are no go like black, grey, super bright neon colors that suit only the specific sub groups ,but the generic colors will suit almost everybody in the warm or cool seasons depending where they fall into.So if a person let's say is Warm Spring and and want to buy some brown neutral clothes go shopping and find not Camel brown but some muted Autumn brown, i'm sure it will end up buying it because 1. you can't find explicit colors interpretation and 2. if you need something immediately, your buying impulse will activate.
In theory everything is simple but in reality you will find many colors very hard to actually get 😑. Again i am speaking from reality as someone who did the analysis and started to navigate throught colors and etc.
@@AndreeaC. At first, I shopped as you write, because you have to wear something :-D And then I realized that some feature just didn't fit me. So I gradually bought only my exact True Autumn colors = muted+warm+medium dark+medium contrast - and gradually threw out the inaccurate ones. Now I have everything just right, everything I need and I continue to buy more, yes - it costs a lot of time, but I found that the biggest selection is second hand, so I go regularly and I already have enough things that I don't need to compromise on things that they are not exactly for me. But it took time and effort, but I enjoy it and I'm happy with the result and I can see the difference.
@@ColorTypology i am an True Autumn too, and i found everything i wanted to buy because we actually are more fortunate then other subgroups and yes i buy second hand a lot but other people from rarer subgroups aren't so fortunate and also not thrifting, they probably want new clothes. Believe me is super hard to find some colours if you go in stores , let's say i find much easier an terracotta sweater than someone in Bright Spring a Ferrari red. Stores have Winter and Autumn colours and some Light Palettes colours , probably some Summer here and there but very hard for many others to find specific ones. Second hand is easier to find everything.
I’m pretty sure I’m a cool summer.
In other words, "true" seasons are the original 4 seasons. Which most people don't fit, hence dividing into at least 12 to 16 types. Which still doesn't fit everyone.
