Not really, if it was something expensive and they are not together anymore... imagine if those would be a family thing, like from the grandma or the like, you might want to have them back.
@@user-nb2sn6id4rno, no one should be giving gifts thinking they will take that back later. Gift is a gift and changing your mind just makes you vicious. No matter why you changed your mind. Also, “but it was expensive” means you can’t afford expensive stuff in the first place and shouldn’t be buying it.
Agree. I was going to say, unless it was an engagement item, don't give back gifts unless it has sentimental value to him like it was his mom's jewellery.
It's really disrespectful and weak of him to ask for them to get back.. Otherwise if I was asked something like it I wouldn't want to keep it either because I wouldn't want to keep wearing a gift from such a disrespectful person.. also I would think about him each time I'm wearing it so... Not a fun thing 😄🤷
Came to the comments to say this exact same thing. The price doesn't matter, asking for gifts back it's beyond rude. He doesn't even deserve an answer.
My husband’s x (before we were married) asked for anything she ever gave him back. It wasn’t much, but one thing was a model ship in a bottle, like what in the world was she gonna do with it? It was from a vacation they went on, nothing special.
Your explanation in the beginning was so much easier to understand than any of the others I've watched. And watching you go through the analysis was really interesting. I'm going to give it a go. I've never been able to quite figure out what actually looks good on me Also, you have really nice skin and I think you're quite pretty without makeup. You have nice contrast in your features and makeup isn't necessary to accentuate them. Just my opinion tho
Oh thank you so much for saying so 😭 Really glad to hear you found this helpful! Find me on Insta @studiobonvon if you’d like to share your results, I’d love to see how it works for you 👀
I also think this method is going to be far more productive for me than the "vein" test--I can never tell just looking at my skin against white paper or looking at veins.
I agree with your conclusion. Plus, the commenters who think you are summer, their screens may be showing the colors slightly different than my screen(s) and what you see in real life. For example, I paused the video on 23:15 and both the swatch cards look greener and softer on my iPhone compared to bluer and brighter on my iPad.
Yes - I agree that there might be some discrepancies with people’s screens. HOWEVER I’m starting to think there might be something to this whole Summer Cool thing that people are noticing. Either way, I’m going to be on the border of summer/winter, but maybe I can steal more from summer than I originally thought. Personally, I think my best colors are probably somewhere in between the two…
@@studiobonvon If you are on the border between 2 cool sub seasons, do you really have to choose? Why not pick your favorite and occasionally borrow from your second choice? At least they are both cool!
@@studiobonvonmy mom is like this and her coloring is similar to yours. She looks best in the more intense Summer colors or the softer winter colors. Somewhere in there.
For what its worth, I agree with your assessment! It's pretty clear. Also, I think it's interesting that you chose colors for your studio that harmonize with your own coloring. I think it's pretty common for people to gravitate to their best colors.
The paint chip idea is GENIUS. I’m already pretty certain of my season (via draping with clothes stolen from my husband and children 🤣), but I will absolutely be doing this anyway and setting up a little kit to analyze all my friends 😆 I just adore colors, literally wrote a thesis on color theory in college (which I’m now realizing is longer ago than I think it is), this is the obvious next step on my color-obsessed journey.
Why thank you! I still haven’t done this (we recently sold our second vehicle, so finding a time to sneak off to the hardware store is more difficult than it once was). But I’m still planning to!
Even from the beginning of this video, I imagined those clear bright "jewel" colors on you, and knew right away that you are a "winter"! Amazing video, you are a very thorough and systematic person who does in-depth research for the subject. And you are able to make complex things looking fun and easy! Kudos, I am sure you will be able to follow your calling of an artist with great success in the future.
I believe you're Summer Cool rather than Winter Cool. Summer Cool is medium intensity which in my opinion is what threw you off in the intensity phase of the analysis. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Color Analysis Studio on TH-cam has some really great in-depth analyis videos that use the same method you use with drapes (going from undertone to inensity to subgroup).
The soft lavender eyeshadow and soft pink lipstick in her thrift video looked amazing. Same with the lilac shirt she wore in her thrift-flip. Color analysis is a spectrum, so as @comediancircus said she could be a “deeper” cool summer that is closer to winter but not quite a winter.
@@Squishbiscuits Exactly, the spectrum is a key concept to know. I did in person analysis, i'm a cool winter slightly softer, i'm just so happy of knowing my colours.
@@studiobonvonI agree with @fiberandfox - this feels like a comprehensive course. But it is not just because of the info. It’s also because of your process. You take time to explain your journey through comments along the way. You ask questions, then answer them, the look at it a different way, then ask another question. Yet you always get to a decision you can defend and don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis. So the video feels like it can be a guide for my own questions.
@@studiobonvon Hello, Please can you tell me how you knew which colours to choose from Home Depot for your analysis. I would not know which ones to include as there are so many that are so similar, how did you whittle it down to those colours. Is there a guide somewhere that told you which pantone colours were correct? Thankyou.
This was one of the best and most thorough TH-cam videos I have ever seen. It was so thoughtfully made to be such a great tutorial. You make a great teacher. I had already done my own colour analysis with paint chips from the hardware store so when it was recommended I didn't think I would get much but it was great. Those days at the deli are numbered ;)
25:32 this middle shade of blue/green is definitely the best of you from my pov. The more intense one I agree that is a more beautiful shade, but I definitely notice the swatch before I notice your eyes with that one.
I’ve been obsessed with colour analysis for years and consumed way too much content on it but this was one of the most thorough and easy to follow videos I’ve seen. Thank you! Excited to see your upcoming content with your winter cool colours! 😁
for a second there i truly thought you'd end up TRUE WINTER but then comparing your sister / sub categories really shown a light on the COOL WINTER analysis. so well done. so excellent. great advice. sending this to my friends
I'd say you are more of a cool summer over cool winter, but since they are neighbors it doesn't really matter. I found my colors by comparing myself to the celebrities given as an example and then went by textbook definition. I narrowed it to cool, but from veins figured I'm more neutral cool and from there it was pretty easy to land at soft summer(only summer palette I'm ok with too😂). I borrow from soft autumn also a bit
This was so fun! My husband’s coloring is similar to yours, dark hair and blue eyes, but his skin color is deeper than yours and eye color more intense. I agree with your analysis. Because your contrast is greater than his, the saturation of the colors makes a difference. He can wear the darker colors that overwhelm your coloring. This was so interesting to me! I think you should use your cool summer colors in accessories, like dots of color in a scarf. As for me, I am an autumn, and I prefer the deeper colors, but I never did an analysis to the degree that you have done. I might just try it!
Definitely a cool summer, even your hair and skin has some grey to it, and summer cool is the most intense out of the summer palette, although you're definitely close to winter. I think everything of the summer cool palette looked amazing on you (except for the really light ones), but only a few softer cool winter colors looked good. The shirt you were wearing at the end looks stunning on you. In case you prefer winter, makeup (blush, lipstick. mascara) helps to increase intensity. Great video by the way!
I am twenty minutes in, and I was extremely skeptical of this "color theory" nonsense, honestly thought it was a bit silly. I prefer just to wear whatever colors I like... until I realized that I'm pretty sure I was, and am, selecting my favorite colors based on this color theory in my head. Color me impressed (ha!) I am totally starting to get why people do this. It's a great reference point. And you can make and break these rules as you please, I'm sure. I agree with you on the brighter colors in the intensity test. While my eyes are drawn to the brighter colors, they immediately go to the rest of your face, and everything is very vibrant and fun to look at. Whereas the dull color I go to your face because there is nowhere else to go. And even then it's not asking me to stay.
Haha I’m glad to hear that this convinced you! 😂 I think you’re right about breaking the rules too - I’m going to try to bring in other colors that aren’t “technically” part of my palette but I think will work. As they say…you have to know the rules in order to break them though!! I was skeptical when I first came across it too, but coming from an art background I knew how important color theory can be and how the right colors (at least in art) can make a HUGE difference, so I stuck with it and I’m glad I did 😉
There's a mistake at 6:50--cool and warm blue are switched in the text. Teal/turquoise is considered a warm blue (with yellow in it). That purplish/royal blue is considered cool in color analysis.
She also said this at 8:24. She seems to be pretty convinced on the matter. But it seems completely wrong based on everything else she’s said. I’m confused.
Maybe because red is considered warmer than yellow, and the purplish blue has more red in it, while the turquoise has more yellow. But the turquoise is closest to the warm side of the spectrum, and all the other colors operate on the principle that the closer it is to the warm side, the warmer the color.
This was a fun video to watch! ☺️ I have a BFA and I think you are a summer. I also work for House of Colour, we do color analysis and in our system if you are cool toned and black is too harsh for you, that typically makes you a summer. But it’s important to wear whatever colors make you happy! ☺️
I think you're wrong about blue. It may be true in colour theory that red is pure warm, but in skin colour analysis, orange is pure warm (also why there's no cool orange, while there is a cool red). The opposite of orange is indigo. Cooler blue is closer to indigo, and warmer blue is further towards indigo, trending towards green. This fits with the seasons. An autumn or spring is going to have an easier time wearing a tealy blue because it harmonises with the golden tones in their skin.
Agreed. People get too stuck on an individual colour, whereas a season is a pallette and a type of harmony of all its colours taken together, basically all colours within a season should match, and the artistic ways of finding harmonious colours (opposites, triangles, squares on the colour wheel) will inevitably (especially if you are a high contrast season) get you to a colour that is not strictly your season. Colour analysis is a more empiric tool, some things are just observable facts and still waiting for the theory to catch up)
Yes - I definitely made a mistake with the blues here. I have an art background so I was applying traditional color theory here - i.e. warm blue = more purple, cool blue = more green. But I'm learning that it's the opposite in color analysis, which makes perfect sense!
You could look into "Soft Winter". It's an additional to the 12 seasonal colors for winters that are slightly softer but not quite summer soft. It's a little controversial but it doesn't hurt to check it out
Omg where have you been?! This makes much more sense than other guides on colour analysis. Thank you! I subscribed, having no idea you also sew - I'm an intermediate/want to get better, so excited to watch some of your stuff 😊
I've always skipped colour analysis videos because I didn't think I'd really "get it" but I clicked on yours as soon as I saw it cause I knew you'd be the best bet to explain it in a way that makes sense. This is such an incredibly well crafted video, and it's made me really want to try colour analysis for myself! I never thought that would happen! Thanks so much for sharing
One of the best colour analysis videos I've seen so far! You were able to explain how undertone doesn't change, while intensity/contrast does. This is especially relevant for people who have gone grey. Similarly, I appreciated that you showed that the hair needs to be covered for undertone, but should be out for intensity/contrast.
This was fascinating to watch. And another case of how different screens may change things as I consistently thought the warm looked better where the cool washed you out
I think the light coming from her left side also changed the way colours looked. Eg when she tested her gold jewellery, she always turned her face sideways away from the light casting a shadow - which then made silver look better when she turned towards the light. But nevertheless screen colour could be different.
I've been wanting a cor analysis, but I definitely can't afford a professional one. Even the drapes are out of my price range. This is such a great way to do it that I hadnt even considered. Also, I think you're a cool summet based on what I see when you did the analysis. I think thats one of the reasons you really like it. I think your hair being dark makes you think you're more intense, but your skin/eyes aren't intense and fall under summer for sure.
During all your winter evaluation I was feeling like you were lacking some softer colors and then you got into summer cool and it was crystal clear for me that you were a WINTER-cool/summer-cool. Great video
I completely agree with your analysis. I believe I have a pretty good handle on “color theory” from working in cosmetology for a couple of decades but I learned some new things (as far as intensity/saturation) Your video is a very nice refresher for those who have a working knowledge of color theory & is a fantastic crash course for those with little to no experience. I think the word you were looking for was “sallow” in the beginning when you comparing warm and cool. The warm undertones made you look sallow and a little jaundiced vs. the cool that gave you that fresh, alive and sparkle! I subbed! Excellent video/info ❤
Wow! I am also an artist and love color and color analysis, but haven’t had the motivation to jump in the way you did 😅 I appreciate it so much, especially because I have struggled really pinpointing my own color analysis!
Wow! Thank you so much! I did the same process and was able to determine that was an autumn deep and love that I can use winter deep at times. Thank you!! Saved me $200
This is so fascinating! I'm a creative person too so i know about color context (how - especially subtle - colours change in perceptive depending what they're adjacent to). And watching your skin color in context was super interesting! Also to see how some of the colors that look so gooood for me, make you look dull and, as you put it, sickly. Very very cool (hah 😂). I watching you go I would have loved to whip out individual cards and say "look, this one is YOUR variation of this color!" Ugh.. Just so fascinating! 😍✨
Ma'am! The detail and time you are putting into these videos!! I feel like I'm spamming my girl group chat with them at this point. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
I love this video and watching along as you determined your best colors with color swatches. Your presentation of this and how you used the paint chips for color draping was brilliant. I also love the idea of hole punching your best colors onto a keyring and taking the little punch out circles and putting them onto it. Very clever!
I think you're a cool summer, your eyes are very grayed & your lips have softness in them (and blend into your skin tone), your skin isn't crisp and clear like a winters, it has an ashy quality. True summer has quite bright colours, the ones you held up for summer were more soft summer, which is too gray for you. The winter colours don't seem to make your eyes pop or bring out their colour as the right colours would. The black eyeliner feels intense and distracting too! However your blended lip look looks wonderful
Wow, congratulations!👏 This is probably the best colour analysis video I've seen in my whole life - and believe me, I've seen so, so many of them ...! A huge thank you! 💝
Love your video and how you went step by step and explained. It was easy to understand and a good “ visual “ way to see the differences in cool/ warm undertones.
This is a true class for free, and thank you very much. It has helped a lot, and I am finally determined within my colors. Thank you very much for such a big work you have done for this video! Now my yarn choices for my knitting will be so much better!
This video was so amazing and well done I had to comment twice. I’ve been watching so many color analysis videos but this was by far the best. I feel like the others stop short of making it possible to do it for yourself
This is just genius! I've been obsessed over these videos too and the apps just donc give me a clear answer. I'll try that method. Thank you sooo much for all the work you've put into this ❤
This was a brilliant method! I was analysed as 'Cool Summer' by Carol Brailey. Sitting right in between Summer/Winter. I know other analysts call it 'Dark Summer.' I grew out my natural hair, which is 10% grey hair and 90% cool mid-dark brown. Very similar eye and skin colour to yours (Irish/English heritage). Great channel, thanks 😊
This is so much fun! Props for the editing👌🏻 Watched 50 at least myself🤭 and last week I did a coloranalysis with my mum. We are both Spring. She a soft and I am a bright Spring. Still so excited about it! Thanks for this one and you are definitely a winter!💙🖤
I think summer cool looks better for you. It brightens up your complexion. I feel like winter cool drags you down a little bit. I have heard before that it is better to have someone else do your analysis bc you will always be biased. You may gravitate toward a certain color but color analysis should be based on what it does to your skin and not based on how much you like the color. Excellent video. Thanks so much.
I have watched sooo many colour analysis videos on YT and IG - this is hands down the best video I've seen. I appreciate the explanation at the beginning, and also how many comparisons you did! I am torn because I think the summer cool made your features so harmonious (also, you seemed to love those colours more) but that's just me! If you ever make a follow up video - or make videos for short form content - I think it's really neat to see how wearing your best colours can make your teeth look whiter. Anyways, I'm rambling and fan-girling because this video was just 10/10 perfection. I'm subscribed now and a follower!
This was an amazing explanation of color theory. I love the idea of using the paint chips! Thank you for all of your work in this video! The undertone test screamed cool the entire way through. It was very interesting how much the cool just popped and made you glow. The darker pink perfectly matched your lips and the lighter pink you could see in the undertone of your skin. I think your most noticeable trait is cool. I liked the cool summer on you just a bit better than the cool winter. To me the slightly softer colors enhanced your features more, while the winter colors pulled away from them ever so slightly. Either way they both looked fab on you!
Interesting! Before I did the test my guess was that I would be a summer, but testing the other subgroups and stuff…they’re just way too light for me. However…I think there are some secret colors in-between summer and winter that I’m going to try to find…!
I loved this video! From start to finish, you really broke this process down into easy, understandable steps, and loved how you finished it with the adorable keyring swatches! And you are gorgeous in that orchid top! Thank you so much for sharing!
@@studiobonvonA follow up on a warm toned friend would be awesome! I’m also an “obvious winter,” so it would be really helpful for me to see how cool tones look terrible on someone, as dumb as that sounds 😅 I just have a hard time conceptualizing it!
I actually might suggest checking out the Colour Analysis Studio channel here on TH-cam! I learned a lot from watching their videos, they are actually experts (I’m not) and they have lots of videos where they analyze all the different seasons!
YOU ARE A GENIUS!! I went to home Depot and got the paint chips (there are a ton! Thanks so much for listing them all!) and I've now color analyzed half of my friends and family! Thanks so much for doing this!
I know this wasn't the point of the video but an ex asking for a gift back is actually unhinged and insane. I'm so sorry and you're clearly better off. haha
I went to home depot and did the thing! Thank you for putting in the work for this, I needed a nice free activity for myself to do and this was just perfect.
Thanks so much!! I’m totally gonna try this. I appreciate all your work getting the colours together and putting them together for us. I’m excited to try this.
Blacks really don't tend to work for summers but it looks good on winters. Turquoise works for everyone. The colour of the clothes you are wearing are summer. I think you're a cool summer.
We tend to choose the our best colors for home furnishings and for the things we feel best and most confident in. A side note from a tanned, cool leaning olive whose primary is dark, followed by soft, and then cool, so value, intensity, then temperature. Sometimes you have to eliminate in a different order when someone isn’t clearly warm or cool. It is also a strike against deep winter for you since you are very clearly cool.
Ooh you should get a virtual analysis with Carol Bradley to see if you got this right. I think cool is definitely right for you. My hunch is that you might be cool summer. Summers can have much darker hair than people think!
I HAD THIS IDEA A YEAR AGO AND SENT IT TO MY FRIENDS AND COLLECTED A MILLION PAINT SAMPLES BUT YOURE SO MUCH MORE QUALIFIED AMD IM EXCITED. BLESSINGS UNTO YOU.
My only question was if you were a cool winter or a cool summer. Or straight up cool. But you are definitely on the right path- your college major did not hurt you doing this!
This is such an amazing video! I've been wanting to do this too! I personally thought summer was so much more complimentary for you. The balance of your features with those shades just felt transcendent and so harmonic to me!
This was an amazing step-by-step breakdown and I enjoyed this video a lot! In my opinion, the summer worked ever so slightly better than the winter because it really made you pop. The bright turquoise colour is much more vibrant and cheerful than the calm sea-foamy one, and I think it caught your eye so much that you ended up leaning into that. However, the in-between shade you show at 15:20 is a *perfect* match, and I think in reality you're in between summer/winter. During the selection of subgroups, I felt like you're in fact a true mix of cool summer & cool winter. The summer variants of the cool colours elevated your colour palette, but you need to get your warmer colours (eg. that swatch of red) on the winter side. Overall loved seeing this analysis; so in-depth and informative. ^ ^
I even said some of the words you said right before you said them. That soft green washes you out. I think you did a phenomenal job showing all these steps.
As a fellow artist, this is by far the best explanation I've heard on color analysis. You are speaking my language. Thank you! I have really enjoyed your other content as well. Also, THANK YOU for providing closed captioning considerations for the Deaf and hard of hearing!
หลายเดือนก่อน
Wow! I work as a video editor in colourisation and I'm just getting interested in this. And really your video has been a Masterclass! Thank you so much! I'd love to see more videos like this haha
Great video! Great explanations! I will try this. what a great reference. BTW- sounds like you dodged a bullet with the boyfriend... only a stinky person will ask for a gift back eeww!
Glad to hear it was helpful!! Feel free to find me on Insta @studiobonvon to share your results, I’d be really interested to see how it works for you! And about the earrings 😂 😂…. we’ll just leave it there
You did a great job looking at which colours suit you. But keep in mind there are plenty of other factors to consider such as a) where on your body you're wearing the item, b) how large the item is, and how much of the colour is showing compared to how much skin is showing, and what other colours you are wearing c) what actual season it is (we all tend to wear lighter and brighter colours and fabrics in summer) d) how old you are and your general personality (are you an over-the-top person or fairly understated?). I personally don't get fixated with the seasons system, just look at which colours suit me. And that has definitely changed over the years. BTW, your ex is a loser for asking for the earings back (a gift is a gift!), but you can definitely wear gold jewellery. Just pair it with other colours that suit you.
I definitely think you're a winter cool and all the summer cool colors are lovely accent colors. I definitely want to try this, for two reasons- I've gone gray early and quickly from darker hair and this has really changed what I now know is my intensity. Because of this, colors that I used to love wearing (and vice versa) don't look great on me. I've hesitated to do large scale replacement of my clothes because I don't know what colors to go for (and the thought of trying on piles of garments to find out sounds like torture). Secondly, I have always struggled to choose colors when picking fabric for sewing, to the point where it's kept me from making more things because I can't decide on what fabric to choose. I think this will be immensely helpful to help overcome that hurdle. Thank you for this great video!
I was right on my first guess (before the analysis part) that you were a cool winter! Few months ago I was also experimenting with diy color analysis so I guess I built up a keen eye 😅. I'm a winter, too. A dark winter😄
I came to comment about your ex asking for the earrings back! I’m glad others are equally appalled at that. Douche move! Anyway, I’m not even halfway through the video and it’s the most helpful and comprehensive, user-friendly guide I’ve seen! The way you explain everything is so clear. Looking forward to watching more from you. ❤
This is fantastic - many people have called me an artist but I’ve always felt like I have a terrible sense of color. Thank you so much for doing this video!
this is already my favorite video on color analysis. I'd love it if you could find someone with a warm undertone to analyse, especially someone whose season is autumn as I'm pretty sure I'm an autumn 😅

@@user-nb2sn6id4rno, no one should be giving gifts thinking they will take that back later. Gift is a gift and changing your mind just makes you vicious. No matter why you changed your mind.

It's really disrespectful and weak of him to ask for them to get back..
Otherwise if I was asked something like it I wouldn't want to keep it either because I wouldn't want to keep wearing a gift from such a disrespectful person.. also I would think about him each time I'm wearing it so... Not a fun thing 😄🤷

Your explanation in the beginning was so much easier to understand than any of the others I've watched. And watching you go through the analysis was really interesting. I'm going to give it a go. I've never been able to quite figure out what actually looks good on me
Also, you have really nice skin and I think you're quite pretty without makeup. You have nice contrast in your features and makeup isn't necessary to accentuate them. Just my opinion tho
Oh thank you so much for saying so 😭 Really glad to hear you found this helpful! Find me on Insta @studiobonvon if you’d like to share your results, I’d love to see how it works for you 👀
I would say very pretty, without makeup!
I also think this method is going to be far more productive for me than the "vein" test--I can never tell just looking at my skin against white paper or looking at veins.
I agree with your conclusion. Plus, the commenters who think you are summer, their screens may be showing the colors slightly different than my screen(s) and what you see in real life. For example, I paused the video on 23:15 and both the swatch cards look greener and softer on my iPhone compared to bluer and brighter on my iPad.
Yes - I agree that there might be some discrepancies with people’s screens. HOWEVER I’m starting to think there might be something to this whole Summer Cool thing that people are noticing. Either way, I’m going to be on the border of summer/winter, but maybe I can steal more from summer than I originally thought. Personally, I think my best colors are probably somewhere in between the two…
@@studiobonvonor you could be a true cool maybe which is halfway between winter/summer 😊 just a though❤
@@studiobonvon If you are on the border between 2 cool sub seasons, do you really have to choose? Why not pick your favorite and occasionally borrow from your second choice? At least they are both cool!
@@studiobonvonmy mom is like this and her coloring is similar to yours. She looks best in the more intense Summer colors or the softer winter colors. Somewhere in there.
For what its worth, I agree with your assessment! It's pretty clear. Also, I think it's interesting that you chose colors for your studio that harmonize with your own coloring. I think it's pretty common for people to gravitate to their best colors.
Wow. I think a trip to Home Depot is in my future. Thanks for explaining it so concisely!
Absolutely!!! So glad to hear you’re gonna give it a go!! 🎨
me too but not sure how to choose the pallets
The paint chip idea is GENIUS. I’m already pretty certain of my season (via draping with clothes stolen from my husband and children 🤣), but I will absolutely be doing this anyway and setting up a little kit to analyze all my friends 😆
I just adore colors, literally wrote a thesis on color theory in college (which I’m now realizing is longer ago than I think it is), this is the obvious next step on my color-obsessed journey.
I freaking love you enthusiasm and vibe!
Why thank you!
I still haven’t done this (we recently sold our second vehicle, so finding a time to sneak off to the hardware store is more difficult than it once was). But I’m still planning to!
No need to apologize for no makeup, I didn't realize you weren't wearing any because you already look beautiful.
@@brookewebley4932 I I agree, thought she had light makeup on.
All women are already beautiful without makeup.
Men need makeup to be beautiful though
Even from the beginning of this video, I imagined those clear bright "jewel" colors on you, and knew right away that you are a "winter"! Amazing video, you are a very thorough and systematic person who does in-depth research for the subject. And you are able to make complex things looking fun and easy! Kudos, I am sure you will be able to follow your calling of an artist with great success in the future.
She was easy to see as a clear winter for sure. Lucky to not be an olive because that's a beast when trying to find colors.
You are definitely a WINTER! The vibrant colours complement you much more than the less intense cool shades. ❤
I believe you're Summer Cool rather than Winter Cool. Summer Cool is medium intensity which in my opinion is what threw you off in the intensity phase of the analysis. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Color Analysis Studio on TH-cam has some really great in-depth analyis videos that use the same method you use with drapes (going from undertone to inensity to subgroup).
I agree with you
I definitely agree. Winter blue made her disappear and the summer blue brought her back into focus.
Agreed
The soft lavender eyeshadow and soft pink lipstick in her thrift video looked amazing. Same with the lilac shirt she wore in her thrift-flip. Color analysis is a spectrum, so as @comediancircus said she could be a “deeper” cool summer that is closer to winter but not quite a winter.
@@Squishbiscuits Exactly, the spectrum is a key concept to know. I did in person analysis, i'm a cool winter slightly softer, i'm just so happy of knowing my colours.
This was like a comprehensive course! Great job on clearly explaining this & love the paint chip concept!
Thank you!! I was worried it would be too technical and dry, but I really wanted to make a good reference guide that people could come back to 👩🏻🎓
@@studiobonvonI agree with @fiberandfox - this feels like a comprehensive course. But it is not just because of the info. It’s also because of your process. You take time to explain your journey through comments along the way. You ask questions, then answer them, the look at it a different way, then ask another question. Yet you always get to a decision you can defend and don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis. So the video feels like it can be a guide for my own questions.
@@studiobonvon Hello, Please can you tell me how you knew which colours to choose from Home Depot for your analysis. I would not know which ones to include as there are so many that are so similar, how did you whittle it down to those colours. Is there a guide somewhere that told you which pantone colours were correct? Thankyou.
This was one of the best and most thorough TH-cam videos I have ever seen. It was so thoughtfully made to be such a great tutorial. You make a great teacher. I had already done my own colour analysis with paint chips from the hardware store so when it was recommended I didn't think I would get much but it was great. Those days at the deli are numbered ;)
I genuinely thought you looked way better in the warm colours at the beginning 😂
yoooo right??!! i was humbled!! once she explained it, i got it 🎉
Same!!
No - I was on the cool side from the start.
The line from nose to mouth is much deeper with the warm colours!
Me too!
25:32 this middle shade of blue/green is definitely the best of you from my pov. The more intense one I agree that is a more beautiful shade, but I definitely notice the swatch before I notice your eyes with that one.
Oh my gosh, I totally agree. I love that color!
I’ve been obsessed with colour analysis for years and consumed way too much content on it but this was one of the most thorough and easy to follow videos I’ve seen. Thank you! Excited to see your upcoming content with your winter cool colours! 😁
Oh my gosh, thank you for saying so!! 🤗 And yes, expect lots of winter cool sewing projects from this point on 😄
for a second there i truly thought you'd end up TRUE WINTER but then comparing your sister / sub categories really shown a light on the COOL WINTER analysis. so well done. so excellent. great advice. sending this to my friends
That's the clearest explanation of colour analysis I've heard. Really like your videos.
I'd say you are more of a cool summer over cool winter, but since they are neighbors it doesn't really matter. I found my colors by comparing myself to the celebrities given as an example and then went by textbook definition. I narrowed it to cool, but from veins figured I'm more neutral cool and from there it was pretty easy to land at soft summer(only summer palette I'm ok with too😂). I borrow from soft autumn also a bit
This was so fun! My husband’s coloring is similar to yours, dark hair and blue eyes, but his skin color is deeper than yours and eye color more intense. I agree with your analysis. Because your contrast is greater than his, the saturation of the colors makes a difference. He can wear the darker colors that overwhelm your coloring. This was so interesting to me! I think you should use your cool summer colors in accessories, like dots of color in a scarf. As for me, I am an autumn, and I prefer the deeper colors, but I never did an analysis to the degree that you have done. I might just try it!
Definitely a cool summer, even your hair and skin has some grey to it, and summer cool is the most intense out of the summer palette, although you're definitely close to winter.
I think everything of the summer cool palette looked amazing on you (except for the really light ones), but only a few softer cool winter colors looked good. The shirt you were wearing at the end looks stunning on you. In case you prefer winter, makeup (blush, lipstick. mascara) helps to increase intensity.
Great video by the way!
I am twenty minutes in, and I was extremely skeptical of this "color theory" nonsense, honestly thought it was a bit silly. I prefer just to wear whatever colors I like... until I realized that I'm pretty sure I was, and am, selecting my favorite colors based on this color theory in my head. Color me impressed (ha!) I am totally starting to get why people do this. It's a great reference point. And you can make and break these rules as you please, I'm sure.
I agree with you on the brighter colors in the intensity test. While my eyes are drawn to the brighter colors, they immediately go to the rest of your face, and everything is very vibrant and fun to look at. Whereas the dull color I go to your face because there is nowhere else to go. And even then it's not asking me to stay.
Haha I’m glad to hear that this convinced you! 😂 I think you’re right about breaking the rules too - I’m going to try to bring in other colors that aren’t “technically” part of my palette but I think will work. As they say…you have to know the rules in order to break them though!! I was skeptical when I first came across it too, but coming from an art background I knew how important color theory can be and how the right colors (at least in art) can make a HUGE difference, so I stuck with it and I’m glad I did 😉
There's a mistake at 6:50--cool and warm blue are switched in the text. Teal/turquoise is considered a warm blue (with yellow in it). That purplish/royal blue is considered cool in color analysis.
She also said this at 8:24. She seems to be pretty convinced on the matter. But it seems completely wrong based on everything else she’s said. I’m confused.
Maybe because red is considered warmer than yellow, and the purplish blue has more red in it, while the turquoise has more yellow. But the turquoise is closest to the warm side of the spectrum, and all the other colors operate on the principle that the closer it is to the warm side, the warmer the color.
This was a fun video to watch! ☺️ I have a BFA and I think you are a summer. I also work for House of Colour, we do color analysis and in our system if you are cool toned and black is too harsh for you, that typically makes you a summer. But it’s important to wear whatever colors make you happy! ☺️
Finally I found someone doing this who has my coloring! Thank you. This solidified my pallete for me!
You’re so welcome 😊
I think you're wrong about blue. It may be true in colour theory that red is pure warm, but in skin colour analysis, orange is pure warm (also why there's no cool orange, while there is a cool red). The opposite of orange is indigo. Cooler blue is closer to indigo, and warmer blue is further towards indigo, trending towards green.
This fits with the seasons. An autumn or spring is going to have an easier time wearing a tealy blue because it harmonises with the golden tones in their skin.
Agreed. People get too stuck on an individual colour, whereas a season is a pallette and a type of harmony of all its colours taken together, basically all colours within a season should match, and the artistic ways of finding harmonious colours (opposites, triangles, squares on the colour wheel) will inevitably (especially if you are a high contrast season) get you to a colour that is not strictly your season. Colour analysis is a more empiric tool, some things are just observable facts and still waiting for the theory to catch up)
Yes, I am a winter and I have always disliked teal but I know many Autumns who wear it all the time.
Yes - I definitely made a mistake with the blues here. I have an art background so I was applying traditional color theory here - i.e. warm blue = more purple, cool blue = more green. But I'm learning that it's the opposite in color analysis, which makes perfect sense!
You could look into "Soft Winter". It's an additional to the 12 seasonal colors for winters that are slightly softer but not quite summer soft.
It's a little controversial but it doesn't hurt to check it out
This is the clearest explanation of color theory and analysis I've seen. Great job.
The cool colours brightens your skin
Honestly I agree with your take about the intense cyan not looking great but the turquoise is like it was MADE for you. It makes your eyes shine.
Omg where have you been?! This makes much more sense than other guides on colour analysis. Thank you! I subscribed, having no idea you also sew - I'm an intermediate/want to get better, so excited to watch some of your stuff 😊
I've always skipped colour analysis videos because I didn't think I'd really "get it" but I clicked on yours as soon as I saw it cause I knew you'd be the best bet to explain it in a way that makes sense. This is such an incredibly well crafted video, and it's made me really want to try colour analysis for myself! I never thought that would happen! Thanks so much for sharing
Hands down the most thorough and well explained video on color analysis I’ve seen and I’ve gone down that rabbit hole too
One of the best colour analysis videos I've seen so far! You were able to explain how undertone doesn't change, while intensity/contrast does. This is especially relevant for people who have gone grey. Similarly, I appreciated that you showed that the hair needs to be covered for undertone, but should be out for intensity/contrast.
This was fascinating to watch. And another case of how different screens may change things as I consistently thought the warm looked better where the cool washed you out
I think the light coming from her left side also changed the way colours looked. Eg when she tested her gold jewellery, she always turned her face sideways away from the light casting a shadow - which then made silver look better when she turned towards the light. But nevertheless screen colour could be different.
I am so impressed with what you are doing with reusing the fabrics. Thank you for figuring out and explaining how “color analysis”works
I loved your color journey, much more affordable than a color consult. The little book is so cute!
Thank you! 🤗🌸
I've been wanting a cor analysis, but I definitely can't afford a professional one. Even the drapes are out of my price range. This is such a great way to do it that I hadnt even considered.
Also, I think you're a cool summet based on what I see when you did the analysis. I think thats one of the reasons you really like it. I think your hair being dark makes you think you're more intense, but your skin/eyes aren't intense and fall under summer for sure.
During all your winter evaluation I was feeling like you were lacking some softer colors and then you got into summer cool and it was crystal clear for me that you were a WINTER-cool/summer-cool. Great video
I completely agree with your analysis. I believe I have a pretty good handle on “color theory” from working in cosmetology for a couple of decades but I learned some new things (as far as intensity/saturation) Your video is a very nice refresher for those who have a working knowledge of color theory & is a fantastic crash course for those with little to no experience.
I think the word you were looking for was “sallow” in the beginning when you comparing warm and cool. The warm undertones made you look sallow and a little jaundiced vs. the cool that gave you that fresh, alive and sparkle! I subbed! Excellent video/info ❤
Wow! I am also an artist and love color and color analysis, but haven’t had the motivation to jump in the way you did 😅 I appreciate it so much, especially because I have struggled really pinpointing my own color analysis!
Wow! Thank you so much! I did the same process and was able to determine that was an autumn deep and love that I can use winter deep at times. Thank you!! Saved me $200
This is so fascinating! I'm a creative person too so i know about color context (how - especially subtle - colours change in perceptive depending what they're adjacent to).
And watching your skin color in context was super interesting!
Also to see how some of the colors that look so gooood for me, make you look dull and, as you put it, sickly.
Very very cool (hah 😂).
I watching you go I would have loved to whip out individual cards and say "look, this one is YOUR variation of this color!"
Ugh.. Just so fascinating! 😍✨
Ma'am! The detail and time you are putting into these videos!! I feel like I'm spamming my girl group chat with them at this point. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
Oh my gosh this is the sweetest compliment, thank you!! 😊🌷
I love this video and watching along as you determined your best colors with color swatches. Your presentation of this and how you used the paint chips for color draping was brilliant. I also love the idea of hole punching your best colors onto a keyring and taking the little punch out circles and putting them onto it. Very clever!
I think you're a cool summer, your eyes are very grayed & your lips have softness in them (and blend into your skin tone), your skin isn't crisp and clear like a winters, it has an ashy quality. True summer has quite bright colours, the ones you held up for summer were more soft summer, which is too gray for you. The winter colours don't seem to make your eyes pop or bring out their colour as the right colours would. The black eyeliner feels intense and distracting too! However your blended lip look looks wonderful
I really thought she was a summer from the start, but when she did the cards, it was a close call.
i agree with cool summer!
Yeah I agree with this, the analysis made it pretty clear that the winter colours were overpowering her and the summer colours were complimenting her.
When you held up the Summer Cool strip of colors, it just lit up your face! Def lucky that both Winter and Summer Cool really flatter your coloring!
Wow, congratulations!👏 This is probably the best colour analysis video I've seen in my whole life - and believe me, I've seen so, so many of them ...!
A huge thank you! 💝
Love your video and how you went step by step and explained. It was easy to understand and a good “ visual “ way to see the differences in cool/ warm undertones.
This is a true class for free, and thank you very much. It has helped a lot, and I am finally determined within my colors. Thank you very much for such a big work you have done for this video! Now my yarn choices for my knitting will be so much better!
This video was so amazing and well done I had to comment twice. I’ve been watching so many color analysis videos but this was by far the best. I feel like the others stop short of making it possible to do it for yourself
This is just genius! I've been obsessed over these videos too and the apps just donc give me a clear answer. I'll try that method. Thank you sooo much for all the work you've put into this ❤
This was a brilliant method! I was analysed as 'Cool Summer' by Carol Brailey. Sitting right in between Summer/Winter. I know other analysts call it 'Dark Summer.' I grew out my natural hair, which is 10% grey hair and 90% cool mid-dark brown. Very similar eye and skin colour to yours (Irish/English heritage). Great channel, thanks 😊
Such a graceful genuine way of telling us to like the video
This is so much fun! Props for the editing👌🏻
Watched 50 at least myself🤭 and last week I did a coloranalysis with my mum. We are both Spring. She a soft and I am a bright Spring.
Still so excited about it!
Thanks for this one and you are definitely a winter!💙🖤
I think summer cool looks better for you. It brightens up your complexion. I feel like winter cool drags you down a little bit. I have heard before that it is better to have someone else do your analysis bc you will always be biased. You may gravitate toward a certain color but color analysis should be based on what it does to your skin and not based on how much you like the color. Excellent video. Thanks so much.
I have watched sooo many colour analysis videos on YT and IG - this is hands down the best video I've seen. I appreciate the explanation at the beginning, and also how many comparisons you did! I am torn because I think the summer cool made your features so harmonious (also, you seemed to love those colours more) but that's just me! If you ever make a follow up video - or make videos for short form content - I think it's really neat to see how wearing your best colours can make your teeth look whiter. Anyways, I'm rambling and fan-girling because this video was just 10/10 perfection. I'm subscribed now and a follower!
amazing. the colour theory part in itself is a master class.
This was an amazing explanation of color theory. I love the idea of using the paint chips! Thank you for all of your work in this video!
The undertone test screamed cool the entire way through. It was very interesting how much the cool just popped and made you glow. The darker pink perfectly matched your lips and the lighter pink you could see in the undertone of your skin. I think your most noticeable trait is cool. I liked the cool summer on you just a bit better than the cool winter. To me the slightly softer colors enhanced your features more, while the winter colors pulled away from them ever so slightly. Either way they both looked fab on you!
Interesting! Before I did the test my guess was that I would be a summer, but testing the other subgroups and stuff…they’re just way too light for me. However…I think there are some secret colors in-between summer and winter that I’m going to try to find…!
I loved this video! From start to finish, you really broke this process down into easy, understandable steps, and loved how you finished it with the adorable keyring swatches! And you are gorgeous in that orchid top! Thank you so much for sharing!
You look so pretty in your natural self! Your explanations are understandable and interesting! Thank you for making this video! 🙂🌸
I'm on the beginning of the video but OMG THIS VIDEO IS SPECTACULAR, THE BEST EXPLANATION I'VE SEEN SO FAR
You need to do a friend who is a warm tone for comparison.
Yes this is a good idea…maybe I’ll do a follow up?
@@studiobonvonA follow up on a warm toned friend would be awesome! I’m also an “obvious winter,” so it would be really helpful for me to see how cool tones look terrible on someone, as dumb as that sounds 😅 I just have a hard time conceptualizing it!
@@studiobonvon Yes please!
I actually might suggest checking out the Colour Analysis Studio channel here on TH-cam! I learned a lot from watching their videos, they are actually experts (I’m not) and they have lots of videos where they analyze all the different seasons!
@@studiobonvonthat would be absolutely brilliant 🎉
Those winter deep swatches looked amazing on you as well.
Definitely cool summer.
YOU ARE A GENIUS!! I went to home Depot and got the paint chips (there are a ton! Thanks so much for listing them all!) and I've now color analyzed half of my friends and family! Thanks so much for doing this!
This is the best color analysis I’ve seen. Thank you! I really liked how you broke it down. It makes sense now! 😂😊
This was fantastic I’ll be showing this to my Fashion students when I go through colour theory with them 😊
I know this wasn't the point of the video but an ex asking for a gift back is actually unhinged and insane. I'm so sorry and you're clearly better off. haha
I went to home depot and did the thing! Thank you for putting in the work for this, I needed a nice free activity for myself to do and this was just perfect.
Thanks so much!! I’m totally gonna try this. I appreciate all your work getting the colours together and putting them together for us. I’m excited to try this.
Blacks really don't tend to work for summers but it looks good on winters. Turquoise works for everyone. The colour of the clothes you are wearing are summer. I think you're a cool summer.
the blue winter bright color make your eyes pop, you look so bright anyway
We tend to choose the our best colors for home furnishings and for the things we feel best and most confident in. A side note from a tanned, cool leaning olive whose primary is dark, followed by soft, and then cool, so value, intensity, then temperature. Sometimes you have to eliminate in a different order when someone isn’t clearly warm or cool. It is also a strike against deep winter for you since you are very clearly cool.
This must be my favorite video on this subject. Liked!
Ooh you should get a virtual analysis with Carol Bradley to see if you got this right. I think cool is definitely right for you. My hunch is that you might be cool summer. Summers can have much darker hair than people think!
I HAD THIS IDEA A YEAR AGO AND SENT IT TO MY FRIENDS AND COLLECTED A MILLION PAINT SAMPLES BUT YOURE SO MUCH MORE QUALIFIED AMD IM EXCITED. BLESSINGS UNTO YOU.
Thanks! This was so helpful. And you are STUNNING without makeup.
My only question was if you were a cool winter or a cool summer. Or straight up cool.
But you are definitely on the right path- your college major did not hurt you doing this!
This is such an amazing video! I've been wanting to do this too! I personally thought summer was so much more complimentary for you. The balance of your features with those shades just felt transcendent and so harmonic to me!
This was an amazing step-by-step breakdown and I enjoyed this video a lot! In my opinion, the summer worked ever so slightly better than the winter because it really made you pop. The bright turquoise colour is much more vibrant and cheerful than the calm sea-foamy one, and I think it caught your eye so much that you ended up leaning into that. However, the in-between shade you show at 15:20 is a *perfect* match, and I think in reality you're in between summer/winter.
During the selection of subgroups, I felt like you're in fact a true mix of cool summer & cool winter. The summer variants of the cool colours elevated your colour palette, but you need to get your warmer colours (eg. that swatch of red) on the winter side. Overall loved seeing this analysis; so in-depth and informative. ^ ^
I even said some of the words you said right before you said them. That soft green washes you out. I think you did a phenomenal job showing all these steps.
As a fellow artist, this is by far the best explanation I've heard on color analysis. You are speaking my language. Thank you! I have really enjoyed your other content as well.
Also, THANK YOU for providing closed captioning considerations for the Deaf and hard of hearing!
Wow! I work as a video editor in colourisation and I'm just getting interested in this. And really your video has been a Masterclass! Thank you so much! I'd love to see more videos like this haha
Great video! Great explanations! I will try this. what a great reference. BTW- sounds like you dodged a bullet with the boyfriend... only a stinky person will ask for a gift back eeww!
Glad to hear it was helpful!! Feel free to find me on Insta @studiobonvon to share your results, I’d be really interested to see how it works for you! And about the earrings 😂 😂…. we’ll just leave it there
@@studiobonvon You dodged a bullet !!
Winter green is better. Not too intense. Balanced.
I’m winter and is be the same with those greens. The paler summer colours du to and make you look a bit washed out.
You did a great job looking at which colours suit you. But keep in mind there are plenty of other factors to consider such as a) where on your body you're wearing the item, b) how large the item is, and how much of the colour is showing compared to how much skin is showing, and what other colours you are wearing c) what actual season it is (we all tend to wear lighter and brighter colours and fabrics in summer) d) how old you are and your general personality (are you an over-the-top person or fairly understated?).
I personally don't get fixated with the seasons system, just look at which colours suit me. And that has definitely changed over the years.
BTW, your ex is a loser for asking for the earings back (a gift is a gift!), but you can definitely wear gold jewellery. Just pair it with other colours that suit you.
I definitely think you're a winter cool and all the summer cool colors are lovely accent colors. I definitely want to try this, for two reasons- I've gone gray early and quickly from darker hair and this has really changed what I now know is my intensity. Because of this, colors that I used to love wearing (and vice versa) don't look great on me. I've hesitated to do large scale replacement of my clothes because I don't know what colors to go for (and the thought of trying on piles of garments to find out sounds like torture). Secondly, I have always struggled to choose colors when picking fabric for sewing, to the point where it's kept me from making more things because I can't decide on what fabric to choose. I think this will be immensely helpful to help overcome that hurdle. Thank you for this great video!
Next step, how to build your own me-made wardrobe based on your colors! We are here for the journey!
How did you guess?? 😂 Thank you so much for the support, it means a lot to me! ✨🌷
Your video is easy to follow and you explain everything very well.😊
This is a fantastic video! I've seen so many of these videos and I didn't understand but this helped me so much! I agree that you are a winter!
I was right on my first guess (before the analysis part) that you were a cool winter! Few months ago I was also experimenting with diy color analysis so I guess I built up a keen eye 😅.
I'm a winter, too. A dark winter😄
On some of the colors I thought about a sundress vs a winter jacket. I think the actual season of the year should be considered. I loved this video!
So glad you've posted again! Love your channel!
I came to comment about your ex asking for the earrings back! I’m glad others are equally appalled at that. Douche move!
Anyway, I’m not even halfway through the video and it’s the most helpful and comprehensive, user-friendly guide I’ve seen! The way you explain everything is so clear.
Looking forward to watching more from you. ❤
I never thought I would watch a whole video and colour analysis and love it but this was so well made and informative!! 👏
This is fantastic - many people have called me an artist but I’ve always felt like I have a terrible sense of color. Thank you so much for doing this video!
❤❤❤ You did a fantastic job explaining ❤❤❤
this is already my favorite video on color analysis. I'd love it if you could find someone with a warm undertone to analyse, especially someone whose season is autumn as I'm pretty sure I'm an autumn 😅
Thank you so much!! 🌷 I’ll see what I can do…perhaps I’ll make a follow up in the future
This process was thoughtfully executed and so enlightening for me! The ending of a relationship is hard...be gentle and kind to yourself 💖
