- Is this color warm or cool? To be able to find colors that flatter our skin undertones, we need to recognize the temperature of colors. This video demonstrates how to do that with several tricks- not only for the 6 basic colors but also for "more complicated" colors (hues). It is a first video in a new series, dedicated to color, on this channel.

I recommend these 2 tools if you want to get into color & train your eyes. The Color-Aid set also tells you, on the back of each card, what color it is, through a code system - I used it a lot during my time in fashion school.

The next 2 episodes of this series are now live! Building a color palette for WARM undertones:
As someone who is colour blind this was very entertaining. The funny thing is I often get compliments on the colours I choose for my wardrobe and I've no idea what I'm doing.
Hi Justine! It was so cool that you mentioned how in the Vietnamese language we use the same word for blue and green. Can confirm!!! We use the word xanh for both, but to differentiate for green, we say màu xanh lá cây which describes the color of leaves, màu xanh dương which describes the color of the sky. 😁
This is what I was taught as a child, until I learned in watercolour painting that your primary colours can be all warm or all cool (so cool yellow, cool blue, cool red, and warm yellow, warm blue, warm red) to create an entire warm or cool palette. So purples with a lot or blue can still be warm, or there can be cool orange. The key is never mix cool and warm primary together or you get ‘muddy’ colours.
Justine, I love your logical, science-based approach to all fashion topics! I think you must be one of those rare people with highly developed left and right brains! Highly logical and highly creative. Like a modern-day DaVinci. ❤️
You know I realized I choose colours to fit my wardrobe, not my skin. But I like subdued tones and not jewel ones. There is no red no marine and no black in my closet. I like light pinks and blues, white and beige. You know a lot about clothing being your profession and my hobby. Thank you !
I often ask in the store if I can take an item into an open doorway, to get a better idea of the true color. This lighting problem varies from store to store, some of the newer stores have really warm, yellowish LED lighting that distorts all colors. I once bought what I thought was a pale green sweater, but when I got it home it was definitely gray and the “cool-pink” top turned out to be a hideous peach. The worst distortion is in online photos, they use filters and special lighting to make colors look brighter and lighter than they really are. I just bought a “purple” skirt that turned out to be black in natural light, it’s so annoying (Sundance, Garnet Hill and Mango, in these cases).
It's like Trinny from Trinny London said: "You can wear any color, it is all about tonality". Thank you so much for this video!
I always suspected that my understanding of warm and cool colours was lacking and now I know for a fact that I'm completely clueless.
Justine, I am a latina so my skin is light brown, always thought that my undertone was warm but after a meeting with a professional image consultor I discovered my undertone is cold. Imagine my surprise.
I always thought that blue is the cool primary colour, yellow the warm, and red - being independent if the two aforementioned is thus neutral.
I'd love a video on shades of brown. Unappreciatedly beautiful, yet also capable of draining all the colour from your face and making you "look like death warmed up". Warm, cool, and all shades in between!
Way back in the eighties a book titled “Color Me Beautiful” was published which introduced me to the warm/cool concept. I’ve adhered to cool jewel tones(according to the book, I’m a Cool Winter) and have never felt out of sync with my color choices.

Merci, Justine! I'm sure I'm not the only one to be thrilled when you introduced this video as the first in a series. This is a clear & succinct explanation of cool vs warm colors & how to assess color temperature. The swatches are an effective illustration of your points, with the added bonus of being a great opportunity to admire your beautiful rings. It's difficult to judge color temp in stores & online, but stores will usually let you take a garment into natural light, making it easier to see the true color. Online shoppers are pretty much at the mercy of the descriptions & photos. This video will help a lot, even with online shopping: it's tricky, but possible, to compare a garment's color to that of another garment that's obviously warm or cool in the same online shop. Thank you for showing us how comparing warm & cool versions of the same hue helps determine the temperature of a given color.
I hope this series will include a reference to bright vs. muted colours because it seems to be equally important when it comes to choosing clothes.
There are always links for other people's sites to explain similar ideas but if it's not you, I won't click it. I want to hear you tell us "It's Justine" with your little laugh and then your awesomely clear talks.
This is great. A while ago, I lost everything. While I am not quite in a stable position yet, I'm getting there slowly. Eventually, I would like to get some quality clothes back in my wardrobe. In the past, I always depended on other people for color advice. It will be nice to learn about this further and be able to color coordinate myself.
I have been taught that red is a neutral colour, not warm. Thus giving blue reds that are cool and orange/yellow reds that are warm. Also, there also seem to be cool greens (like emerald) and warm greens (like olive).
I now understand why I always received compliments when I wore a certain shade of green despite my skin having a warm undertone! It was a warm green with yellow in it. It was light so I always assumed it was “cooler.” This was brilliant. Thanks, Justine!
