    There’s a whole other set of undertones that’s missing: Olive!! Olive undertones tend more green/less pinky and don’t really fall into strictly warm, neutral, or cool, because there’s just too much red in all of them. There are warmer/cooler/neutral olives, but just going by warm/neutral/cool when doing something like looking for foundation for example will make finding an accurate match basically impossible for someone with olive undertones (speaking from experience lol). It also affects what colors look best on you similarly to the other three main undertones!! (For example, olivey-greens and purples are colors that make me feel extra nice because they compliment the green in my skin!)

    Honest review of the survey, I think that the background had a significant factor in choosing colors (ones with high contrast backgrounds and muted colors were wholly better than muted colors and backgrounds, vive versa). Whereas when the backgrounds were similar, I was more inclined to choose the clothes that matched with the person.

      @aff77141 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      For sure! If you've never gone DEEP in artist color theory, it goes over this exact principle. This is how palettes function in artwork, if you have a pink hued themed piece and need something to look green, using a peach or yellow color will make your brain go "That's closer to green. Must be grass. Color correcting in 3,2,1", or for something that's monochrome green, cooler greens will look blue and warmer ones will look yellow

      That's probably why one of the questions on the first section was "what's your favorite color?". It'll probably be very interesting data to see how drastically color preference created bias in choices. Personally, I feel like I didn't let my personal bias influence my choices too much. there were several instances where I chose another color over blue despite liking blue more because I thought a different color looked better.

    As I was watching this I had the thought that the type of products you use and the order of how you use them when washing your face might have positive or negative results on the cleanliness of your face and the emphasis or your natural face shape, if they even need to be used at all. I'm not quite sure how that could be tested or what products are a must to include and which can be tossed to the side, but I think this could lead to an interesting theory. I hope MatPat can see this and give some insight to this idea.

    My mom still has Color Me Beautiful. Glad you guys got the whole 'this has been around a whiiile' out first. The biggest problem with these 'seasons' or whatever types of color matching ideas is it oversimplifies, like most 'tools' and 'hacks'. The second is it doesn't take into account that people's coloring can change over the years. Like, my mom wore tons of orange (and made it work) in the 70s and 80s, but now the same shades look terrible on her.

    • @kitty_s23456

      Hi. According to some color analysts, our colors may change as we get older - usually it becomes cooler/ softer/ more muted. Orange is a warm color (no cool counterpart) and only ppl with warm undertones can wear it. Only "springs" can wear bright orange. If your mom can't wear bright orange anymore, maybe she can wear softer versions of orange - like peach or coral, or muted & darker versions, like rust or copper orange (for autumns).

But probably involving a weave of artificial spider silk done ala Kevlar, and graphene (or another carbon ring based material) incorporated in some way. Likely even more. But you'd also need to get around distress failure from high velocity impacts on woven armors, and I don't see that happening without a material with plasticity (it can move/creep back into it's original, tightly-woven, shape with some amount of energy expenditure). So... smart spider silk and a lattice of long carbon nanotubes for the materials? Idk, just spitballing.

She and I have often disagreed on what clothes do and don’t flatter me (and she’s not great at explaining herself) but one of the prompts revealed that she dislikes the presence of yellow in the skin tone, so she avoids colors that accentuate it. I’ve always thought gold colors in the skin are beautiful, so I wouldn’t mind clothes that bring out the yellow in my skin, but my mother revealed that her history in Medicine makes her find any yellow in the skin as ill looking

    Important components to not forget about are subjective taste, lighting and cultural/ceremonial clothing. If you like to match colours, fabrics or whatever a certain way, don't let any internet skin tone colour matching test stop you from dressing the way you want to. If the test gives you a result that only goes for a certain kind of lighting, in another lighting both you and the clothes will look very different so perhaps we shouldn't obsess about colour matching too much and just go for clothes that could work in a large range of situations. If you are in a situation where the colours are limited or already predetermined for a cultural occasion or because the garment is cultural and only comes in a few colours then the test results can be thrown in the bin since you don't have much of a choice. Examples where the options of colours are restricted (not saying you can't break the norm just that most won't so if the test doesn't matter here why should it matter when we can choose more freely): Funeral - black everything, wedding - white brides gown and bridesmaids have matching colour to each other but not white, many religious, tribal and folk dresses and clothing have a very specific colour or exact combination of colours and patterns.
