Hi! Very interesting. Thank you for being inclusive. I liked that you said "winter is high contrast for your ethnicity" because not all your viewers (or people in general) are white. 😉 As an autumn, I haven't discarded my pink lipstick (still love it). It suits my old pink tops (which are not in my season) but it doesn't go well with the newer ones that I've bought (which are in my season). Looking forward to more color analysis content. Have you thought about making "shorts"? I've noticed that a lot of creators make them to make their vids/ themselves more popular. For example, I watch the shorts of "Andreas Fashion Galaxy" - she was recommended by the algo - she's funny & creative. However, I don't watch her long vids. Just an idea. Cheers!
Thank you! Yes I think a lot of talk around colour seasons can often just focus on white people, even pictures of people as examples for the different seasons don't often include people of different ethnicities. I haven't considered shorts, I'll look into it and see what content I wanna put out there :)
I'm a brown skinned black woman who is bright or sprinter winter, but I have an ethereal essence so often the lighter brighter icy colors look better on me.
Ah the bright winter colours are stunning! Was always so jealous of those shades when I was wearing my autumn colours lol. Love the combination of icy colours with an ethereal essence, I can imagine you'd look stunning! 😊
Just got my color analysis done and found out I am a true/cool winter. Was not expecting it at all but im so excited that im able to wear such bold colors! I have cherry red hair now though and they told me to specifically stay away from red hair. ive never gotten more compliments on my hair color than i do now, so im very torn on changing it back to my natural hair :’)
I’m so jealous of the bold colours in the winter palette, especially pinks! I think red hair is usually associated with being warm so as long as you’ve gone for a cool toned red (cherry red sounds cool toned to me) then no problem with keeping it that shade 😊
I'm a winter with fully cool undertone. Truth is, I never had any obviously warm clothing or makeup aside from one time when I bought a nude lipstick in high school before. I only wore it once and stopped using it after that 😂. It's crazy of how weird I look at that time. Looking like I'm about to die for real. Or like I had cancer at stage 4 😂. It made me look so pale and sick, like super sick. Kind of like a big warning to me to not purchase anything nude anymore no matter how much I adore the colour after that. It's a little bit sad coz I love Gigi Hadid and you know how pretty she looks in nudes, golds, and browns. I started to know about colour analysis at about 24 years old, so at that time, I started to understand why I couldn't really pull off warm and muted colours. Even slightly warmer colours like plum and olive green would already make me look super bad, so I never really bought them. The truth is, my wardrobe is always full of colours that I don't even like, which are the jewel colours, especially saturated cool red and classic blue. Never even realized that they are 'coloured' clothing coz I wear them as neutrals all the time. Most of my t-shirts are just red, maroon, blue, or black, there are no other colours. My only concern before is the lipstick, coz I tend to buy the same colour again and again, which is maroon or earthy deep red. I don't like makeup, so I tried to buy a lipstick that will look the most neutral on me all the time. But it gets boring with time, using the same colour. Now that I know my season, I started to buy cherry red lipstick too and even try the purple eye-shadow. They still look neutral on me so I'm very happy about the increase in choices I have right now about makeup colours. The conclusion is, colour analysis is very useful for someone like me that is afraid to wear a colour that will make me look unnatural. A very good tool for someone that like to play it safe and embrace their unique inborn characteristics. Probably why I was never bothered by the fact that I don't look the best in my favorite colours, which are orange, yellow, and pastels in general.
Thank you for leaving this comment, it was really interesting to read! As 'true' subseasons I think it's a lot easier for us. So for yourself you should stick to purely cool tones, and for me purely warm tones. Any deviation from that or feeling unsure if its cool or warm will not be the best on us. Nude lipsticks are so tricky to get right! It's really easy for them to make us look like corpses, and 'nude' differs so much from person to person. There's also a lot of trial and error with makeup, even when you know your season and try recommended shades. Oh I love the jewel winter cools! They're the colours outside of my season that I envy the most!
@user-fz9dn5bs7e How did you knew that you were true/cool winter? I am torn between true/cool winter and bright(sprinter) winter. I know dark winter isn’t for me those colors are too dark for my everyday or capsule wardrobe. I have actually quite of few warm colors clothes 😅
@@aylin7716 I thought that I'm a dark winter at first when I started to know about colour analysis. That's because I do glow in black and deep colours. Though the fact that deep winter has some slightly warm colours in its palette did bordered me since any warmth in a colour would immediately make me look pitiful. That started my suspicion that I might have fully cool undertone. Still cool winter colours can be a touch too bright for me at times, so I couldn't be confident that I'm a cool winter. It's only after I did an online colour analysis with a personal colour analyst that I was told that I'm a true winter. Meaning that I can wear all the winter colours but still need too avoid the 'too warm' or 'too bright' colours in the season. I'm neither the deep winter nor the cool winter, but something in between them, with coolness as my main characteristic and depth as my second characteristic. I got a specific palette from the PCA that I paid and it really works on me.
I really love the videos you have done after your color and style analysis! They are so informative and inspiring. As a fellow autumn, analyzed last summer, I am in a transformative process too. I do prefer your videos on Autumns and all things related (clothes, makeup, ...), but the others you did on the other seasons and subseasons were really good too.
Being into goth fashion, it was difficult news to find out I am a blue autumn. I still wear black, but I have started to incorporate accessories/makeup from my color season and it has worked for me.
Blue autumns can rock some beautiful deep shades, the darkest shades of the autumn colour palette. May be a way of showcasing your goth fashion? But sounds like you've got things worked out! It's all about wearing what you're comfortable in, if it's in your colour season then that's a bonus :)
Hi Vicki I have just had my colours done in London by HoC and was told I was a Winter season. I was so shocked as I have a medium brown very warm with yellow undertones skin tone. I have super dark brown eyes and black hair. I am shocked as I always thought warm yellow undertones suited warm colours and should wear gold jewellery….. I wish there was more info out there to help people who have a brown skin tone as I am not convinced I have been analysed correctly….thanks for your very helpful videos!❤
I was surprised with my results too at first (I did mine with Colour Analysis Studio) I was always told that I’m warm by friends but I actually turned out to be a Cool Winter - so completly cool, with olive skin. I was shocked, but it makes total sense now that I settled into it. Maybe it would help if you check out videos by Colour Analysis Studio as they explain really well and show examples of the process on different clients. Listening to them explaining the seasons AND comparing sisterseasons on me made it so clear! It was so logical, thourough and fun that after I had my analysis done my hubby booked one aswell😂
@@Aisstylish I hope it helps and wish you the best! 😍❤️ P.S. I took pictures of myself in the new recommended cool colours, and put them together in a collage, then did the same with the warm colours I used to wear….and then I could really see the difference! 🤩
There's some really good tips in @hn6634 replies! I agree about taking pictures in your new season colours as you can then compare them to colours that aren't in your season. It may take some time to adjust to your season but if it doesn't still feel right then I'd go back to your consultant and ask for further clarification. I agree about there not being enough information out there on colour analysis for people who aren't white :(
I've been told by a few people I must be a dark winter but my best winter colours are not the deepest. For example I look much better on bright emerald green than a forest darker green. Same for the red tones. I wonder if there is something in between.
@@vickilouise7764 I thought about that possibility but my first characteristic is not cool, I'm more towards neutral-cool. I'm happy to wear both colour palletes anyway 😁
Try doing a photo test. I was virtually typed dark autumn but when it didn’t sit well, I took every item of clothing I had and draped myself in quick succession in a bright natural light (but not direct) on a neutral background. I found that royal purple, black, deep navy, and charcoal are some of my best colors and that very deep colors work better for me than medium or pale. A camera works like our eye adjusting values relatively. With really pale colors, my shadows were deepened. Warm colors made me look sallow rather than more tan. I also need some softness. That means deep winter. I was typed in person and my suspicions were confirmed. In practice, I look for very deep and rich colors that have black added, or medium colors with some degree of gray.
Great question. They're very similar so can be difficult to tell the difference. Ultimately spring is warm toned and winter is cool toned. So blue spring will be the least yellow toned colours but still have some warmth in them, and sprinter winter will have a bit of spring's lightness in them but are still cool toned. Both subseasons are bright.
Sometimes you can buy the season swatches from the house of colour website, but they’re not always available. Worth keeping a regular on it just in case they come back in stock.

Not all winters are high contrast though. As a dark winter I am low to medium contrast.

As best as I can tell, I am a true winter in the 12 season system, trying to figure out how that translates to the 16 category system.
I think if you're a true in one system you're true in other systems.... I'm an autumn leaf in HoC which is true autumn in other systems.
Is Sultry Winter like Soft Winter?
Hmm, is sultry winter bordering summer in that case?
I've been told by a few people I must be a dark winter but my best winter colours are not the deepest. For example I look much better on bright emerald green than a forest darker green. Same for the red tones. I wonder if there is something in between.
You might be a true winter? Whatever your sub season it’s great to know your colours, and the winter palette is so beautiful!

I don’t have any of the House of Colour swatches for springs/winters/summers so the Kettlewell palettes are the next best thing!
