Thank you for the WOC color analysis. I liked the idea of color analysis but struggled to find my place in it. Normally, WOC are cast into autumn or winter. But those didn't seem right to me. It wasn't until I read a blog post that typed Kerry Washington as a "Bright Spring" that it clicked for me. It explained why both pale pastels and warm, muted shades were "off" for me. Thank you again for these videos. I hope the women who watch them feel as affirmed as I do.
So many girls saying they were dark/deep autumn and realized they were spring! Yes! I used every app and article and came as dark/autumn but on the tests I did myself with the rainbow palette it was waaaay too obvious that my face would glow more with the spring one, the autumn absolutely emphasized my dark circles. So, if you as me and many here, had the same problem trying to really see if you are spring or autumn (since both are warm) just use that filter or app armocromia, and take a screenshot, and compare, your face with all the palettes. I swear it's SO obvious when you hit the right one. The hard part was finding someone who said that indeed, brown skin can be spring too 🎉😂 TY girl! It was a great videooo ❤
This is me!! I'm still like is this real? The bright spring colours do scare me a little but omg did my face need a pop of colour!! The thing is the first thing people notice when they see my face is colour not dark/contrast which means I can't be dark autumn
Yes! There’s just no way these bright and warm colors can be limited to only fair colors when these shades are so prevalent in many traditional ethnic clothing!
Thank you! I’m glad these WOC videos aren’t limited to one or two which usually happens. I originally thought you were a Bright Spring so this was helpful to compare.
I went from thinking I was an dark autumn to a bright spring this year. It made me a bit sad at first but now I know that I can have a bright autumn and use that saturation to my advantage in photos 😁 bright witches do exist hehe
I feel like dark autumn can be an alternative palette to bright spring for women of color bc we tend to have dark hair and eyes which creates contrast, esp if u want to go into dark colors for the fall. From warm/cool undertone, dark/light contrast, and clear/muted saturation, I would be warm + dark + clear. My dominant 2 attributes (in order) would be: 1) warm 2) clear which = Bright Spring But I would say my contrast is almost equally as dominant as my saturation, so if I take those two attributes: 1) warm 2) dark then = dark autumn From my wardrobe, both seem to work for me (or maybe for dark autumn I am just gravitating to the colors that overlap - bright red, bright orange?) The funny thing is that I gravitate more twds dark autumn instead of a season close to bright spring, even tho they use the same exact attributes, just in a different dominant order: 1) clear 2) warm = true spring
Bright spring colors make me so nervous because I thought I was a dark autumn for so long. I also don't like standing out and most people wear dark or neutrals, but I wanna look good! So I'm adding my true colors one piece at a time until I become comfortable with it.
Thank you thank you thank you for making these videos for us women of colour! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and love your calm, thorough analyses.
Thank you so much! It's so nice for you to talk about this because I always get confused when people talk about what colors look best, they always say dark hair and dark eyes means you're probably dark winter or dark autumn maybe. I still don't know what I am but I'm fairly certain I'm not a winter at all!
Thank you 💕 and yes, there are so many possibilities and really, its all about what colors look great on you and less about limiting yourself based on dark/light features ☺
Ni-ni is like me! I'm just a plain ol' white girl but I have very dark coloring, dark brown nearly-black hair with dark hazel or light brown eyes and pale skin. But my veins are mostly green, with *some* blue. I thought I was a winter! (or summer, as people keep swapping those two particular palettes baaaaaack and forth...) but I didn't feel *pale* enough. I figured I must be muted, but I didn't feel I looked as grey as other muted types. I certainly am not bright and cool, but I'm so neutral I could never tell my tone. Now it all makes so much sense, I feel excitement actually looking at these colors instead of dread like with all the other palettes.
Omg NO IM IN SHOCK NONA DID U DELETE OTHER OLDER VIDEOS ,THEY WERE MY FAVOURITE I always went back to look at how you describe the videos with ID comparisons , I can't find them? Specifically the one where you compared marylin vs viven lee, and also viven lee vs Elziabeth taylor in Cleopatra? Please do return those videos they are my favourite I watch them on repeat every often it helps me so much.
this is so helpful!!! can you do a video on neutrals for spring seasons? I'm not sure which spring I am but I'm trying to choose a shade of white for my wedding dress and am totally lost :(
Just make sure something about the colours is still working for you!! I try to choose warm colours and colours that are either mixed with black or white, not with grey. On me I also find darker colours better because they usually contrast more with my features, but others might find the opposite to be true? Also you can try some of the neutrals from the spring palette and see if you like any of them 😊

Ah I'm so glad this helped you feel more resonance with the right colors! WOC are definitely more than just dark and deep autumns and winters!
SAME! Kerry Washington brought it home for me.
So many girls saying they were dark/deep autumn and realized they were spring! Yes!

Yes! I knew it Spring is not just for blonde and redheads and fair skin types.
Yes! There’s just no way these bright and warm colors can be limited to only fair colors when these shades are so prevalent in many traditional ethnic clothing!
@@thealignedlover good point the bright spring colors are used magnificently in fabrics from Africa, India and Asia for example.
Thank you! I’m glad these WOC videos aren’t limited to one or two which usually happens. I originally thought you were a Bright Spring so this was helpful to compare.
Yes WOC are usually just told to wear dark and deep colors and there’s sooo much more subtlety to it!
I went from thinking I was an dark autumn to a bright spring this year. It made me a bit sad at first but now I know that I can have a bright autumn and use that saturation to my advantage in photos 😁 bright witches do exist hehe
Ah sorry I am a little confused as to what you mean by bright autumn!
I feel like dark autumn can be an alternative palette to bright spring for women of color bc we tend to have dark hair and eyes which creates contrast, esp if u want to go into dark colors for the fall.
From warm/cool undertone, dark/light contrast, and clear/muted saturation, I would be warm + dark + clear.
My dominant 2 attributes (in order) would be:
1) warm
2) clear
which = Bright Spring
But I would say my contrast is almost equally as dominant as my saturation, so if I take those two attributes:
1) warm
2) dark
then = dark autumn
From my wardrobe, both seem to work for me (or maybe for dark autumn I am just gravitating to the colors that overlap - bright red, bright orange?)
The funny thing is that I gravitate more twds dark autumn instead of a season close to bright spring, even tho they use the same exact attributes, just in a different dominant order:
1) clear
2) warm
= true spring
This makes me happy
Awww 🥰🥰🥰
You’re amazingggggg thank you! No one has done a WOC about Bright Spring.
Bright spring colors make me so nervous because I thought I was a dark autumn for so long. I also don't like standing out and most people wear dark or neutrals, but I wanna look good! So I'm adding my true colors one piece at a time until I become comfortable with it.
Thank you thank you thank you for making these videos for us women of colour! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and love your calm, thorough analyses.
Yayy so glad to hear you like :)
I love the varied pictures and examples. It really shows a broader color analysis.
So glad you like!
Thank you so much!

Yay, I'm so glad you feel excited about your colors! I hope you have lots of fun with exploring that :)
Love this. Please make one for bright summer.
Light summer for sure
I’m a bright spring! Tysm for this video! I thought I was a winter like you mentioned women of my skin colour tend to think
Yay I'm glad this helped! And yes, def trying to spread the message that WOC are not all winters haha!
Thank you, this was a great way to showcase a season 😊
Thanks so much 🥰
I thought I was a deep autumn because of my warmth and darkness of hair + eyes, but I look great in bright spring colors…
Subscribed! Looking forward to you doing true spring!
Yes it’s coming up ☺️
I’d love a video comparing spring and fall (unless you believe there’s already a helpful video you can recommend)
I loved this video ❤🎉

thank u! I look great in spring colors and I get sooo confused whenever I search abt springs and it shows blonde hair ppl only 😭
Spring colors work for a much more diverse range of people than the internet lets on!
what about warm spring ?????????????????????????????? i need help please
Solange analysis? Yes, please!
Yesss, having so much trouble choosing which of her outfits to include. Too many good ones!
I think I’ve found my palette ❤
yayyyy 🥰
What if the colors that makes me feel good aka blend in (muted colors and neutrals) are not within my season of bright/saturated colors? XD
Just wear a nice gloss and some blush to enhance your season if you like!
Just make sure something about the colours is still working for you!! I try to choose warm colours and colours that are either mixed with black or white, not with grey.
