Understanding my colour palette was a game changer for my style & wardrobe, but colour analysis isn’t a religion, it’s just a guide to getting dressed =)
As a brown skin girlie I struggled so much to find my season! Winter seemed soooo harsh on me! Turns out I am a soft summer and dusty colors really really suit me. Also ladies learn your essence to capture the vibe of what you are going for and learn your body type so the silhouette suits you ❤
If you’re like me, you may shift your colors depending on the season and the actual depth of your skin. Summer I can get away with brighter and more pastels whereas winter, I tend to stick with dark.
Once you start wearing the right colours, you don’t want to wear other colours. I look terrible in any orange or peach. I avoid them like the plague. Thanks for this interesting conversation.❤
I'm not on Instagram, but could someone mention to them that I'd love to hear them talk with Justine Leconte. I think a conversation with her as a fashion producer who is sustainably minded would be really interesting. Also, I'd love to hear them chat with Hannah Louise Poston about anything and everything. :)
Second the motion. Both of them.
Ooo! That would be a great collaboration!
In addition to jewelry, for those of us who wear glasses, it's an opportunity to have a bold or subdued accessory (or two). I've had to wear glasses since childhood, and I've switched things up as my prescription and style changed. And when I think about glasses in terms of cost-per-wear, I have to wear them all the time unless I'm sleeping, so having a few pairs to switch between depending on how I feel and what style I'm feeling is my 'style dial' and one of my 'money dials.'
I beleive there was a huge missed opportunity here. Christina & Alyssa are both high contrast, but if we were to see them in black and white Christina has a higher contrast and Alyssa is SOFTER* in comparison to Christina
…
tanned skin in combination with high contrast allows for someone like Alyssa to wear soft colors like pastel blue because it creates contrast* against her skin.
Plenty of very high contrast people can wear pastels.
I understand and agree. I’m very similar to Christina and she’s very fair so pastels are not the best.
I think the reason the filters don’t work is because we can’t see the color bouncing off the skin the way we do when you hold up a swatch. There is no interaction. Between this conversation and Signe’s latest video I finally think I understand my colors better so thank you! I was so hung up on undertone and it is not the most important part for my type!
Signe’s tips have been HUGE for me! I have struggled with color for years and never understood why the colors in my supposed palette (I’ve paid for seasonal color analysis multiple times, always getting a different result from each consultant) didn’t work for me like they were supposed to. I now know it’s because temperature is not my dominant characteristic, and yet that’s the one I was basing my entire wardrobe on!
Another aspect of finding the right colors for yourself is personal perception. Yellows and oranges give me a physical sensation of nausea. Just a slight nausea. Thank goodness I am cool toned. If you are one of us that has physical or emotional reactions to colors don’t let salespeople talk you into colors that illicit those responses. Trying to wear this season’s color when it makes uncomfortable is a recipe for disappointment.
Any color can be warm or cool. And they also react to colors they are next to. I do custom framing and deal with this every working day
Exactly. colors are in relation to each other.
I have had my colors done with 2 systems. The seasonal one just wasn’t working. The next one had to do with undertone and contrast and was ALMOST it. Then I watched Signe and her method made more sense to me. As a Master Class student, she was able to work a little with me and I have a palette that really helps. One day I will have her do an official analysis 😉
Great video, thank you. For me, undertone does matter because it’s the deal breaker: I look terrible in warm colours. Other aspects have changed over time and with the seasons(my hair lightens a lot in summer due to sea and sun, and it’s starting to go white).
I think it’s important to try things out, especially if you’re somewhere in the middle at first glance.
So nobody is going to talk about how amazing Signes English is? Girl, you rock speaking so freely and confident among those native speakers! (I thought we Dutch do pretty well at speaking English but you Danish put us to shame 😆) Great episode, I love hearing you chat about this topic and Signe, your passion for colours is contagious!
Yes there's barely even an accent! Usually even though Europeans (like Dutch) speak English well, there is a very thick accent but she barley has one!
I always feel my best in black 🙈 I tried to ban black clothes for a week to be more creative with my clothes but I felt like a part of me is missing.
Seasonal color analysis was game changing for me. It cleared up years of confusion and misplaced shopping. It even helped me to figure out how to wear some colors that aren’t ideal by pairing them in with what is.
Totally obsessed with todays look of Christina, you look sooo elegant in this blue & black suit moment, also the slicked back hair - everything on point ❤❤❤
It’s so lovely to see you all together. My favourite trio! ❤
I can't remember if it is Hannah Louise Poston or DailyHelen, but the advice was... if you love to wear a color that's not in your palette, wear it away from your face, like in a pair of pants or skirt. Good, right?
That's right. I also learned this tip from Trinny. If it's a top (say a blazer) but in a color you like but does not really look good on you, wear something in your best color that's closer to your face (scarf, necklace, collar/turtleneck).
It's great to see you altogether!
I often hear about cool versus warm undertones, but seldom is an olive undertone discussed. Although I was typecast as a "summer" many years ago and look best in cool-tones clothes and makeup, I was shocked when I compared my powder compact to that of my co-worker; she is cool-toned and pale, like me, but her complexion was more rosy and her compact looked pink whereas mine looked very yellow in comparison. So, to me, there should almost be a third undertone - olive! I didn't think I could be "cool" AND olive but, there you are!
Since olive is green, and cool means blue while warm means more yellow leaning, olive can be either. Had to learn this the hard way and a medium cool olive who looks horrendous in truly warm colors, unless they are incredibly deep (my primary). Also, overtone can skew it. A cool olive is the blue tone under a warm overtone. I am, despite my tan overtone, a cool olive who can look positively green in winter.
We could also look to nature to see the power of color. For example, birds in the most striking plumage attract the mates. Very interesting conversation. Thank you ladies. 😊
I loved this discussion. I use my season to guide me. I have a cool undertone, and my season is winter. I'm clear/bright. I definitely don't adhere religiously, but I have always been drawn to my colour palette since I was a teen. I absolutely look ill in any shade of yellow 💛 Signe and Christina really explained this so well. I felt Alyssa is a non-believer 😅 However, Alyssa, you definitely know what looks great on you, always 💖 Thank you for another awesome video.
Fascinating! Love this discussion. I'm thinking of a time that I offended someone who I was working with on a weekly basis. One week I asked if she was sick, and she wasn't (but she looked sick). But now that I think back, she must have been wearing the wrong colors. I think she had on a dark navy sweater, but she's a blonde with light warm coloring. I did learn a lesson that day. Now I never ask people if they're sick LOL.
Just had my colours done with Signa this week, fantastic! makes so much sense and I would HIGHLY recommend her service, I was solidly down the rabbit hole of undertone, and it was a nightmare! the tonal system makes way more sense.
I like Signe's nuanced approach much better than the rigid seasonal approach. I've never been able to figure out my "season" as someone who is very fair, leaning cool/neutral (I think my undertone is actually olive). I don't think the seasonal approach works very well (or at least isn't as clear-cut) for people who aren't super-obviously cool or warm in undertone. For me, I agree also that if you ignore the noise of marketing, finding your "colors" is pretty intuitive. I've long felt that black looks too harsh on me (being very fair with dark blonde/coppery hair), so I wear navy instead. I tend to favor blue and green over any other color, and I've learned through a bit of trial and error that some greens look amazing while others make me look like Kermit the frog. But I don't take any of it too seriously--I don't want 100% of my brain space to be occupied by "Do other people think I look tired in this garment??"
I will let you use the traduction it’s more easy to comment in French. Dans la vague de COVID 19 et la fermeture de salon de coiffure j ai essayé de laisser mes cheveux devenir gris mais j ai pu constater que les couleurs qui m allaient avant étaient devenus fade je n aimait pas cela car les couleurs que j aime ne donnait plus le même effet je suis retourné au blond châtain …j aime vous voir toutes les trois interagir merci pour cette vidéo
Such a great conversation/exploration on colour analysis. Thankyou ladies, just loved it ❤
But that's not so different from the seasonal approach. Most systems have 12 or 16 sub-seasons (some even 20), not just 4. And the majority of those DOESN'T have undertone as their main characteristic. For example a deep/dark winter's main feature is depth. It's a neutral-cool season. That's why they can borrow some colors from the dark autumn palette. Bc they're both dark/deep.
It is a very different approach because even for those, you have to know which undertone you have. I am deep and muted, and colors in both palettes work for me. I had to be draped to see the cool but even then some colors don’t work for me. Knowing which are my primary attributes is way more helpful and much less limiting.
This episode just feels extra special because all of you are in the same room together, which makes listening and watching this very enjoyable for me! Pink has always been my favorite color, but when it comes to dressing myself in that color, I feel like my skin tone looks better in lighter shades of pink. There are other colors that I can pull off in heavier shades like burgundy, orange, dark purple or green, but the saturation of the shade really does seem to have an effect on how it makes me look. I always appreciate the insights and educational comments that Signe has on this concept. They've been a huge help in my style journey 😊
This explains why, when I am tanned in the summer, I can get away with brighter and more pastel colors whereas in the winter I tend towards darks, as my skin gets more tanned and lower contrast in the summer (hair and eyes lighten a bit with stronger light and exposure) and lighter and higher contrast in the winter. I was initially typed a dark autumn but lean more winter, with my medium cool olive skin and deep hair but never felt like I sat wholly in either palette. Signe’s approach of tonality, looking at the dominant color explains why I have been able to get away with colors outside of a seasonal palette or why certain “characteristic” colors don’t jive with me. Now I look at the colors I gravitate towards and focus on the primary characteristic first.
That makes so much sense to pay attention to even the tones in our hair colour! I have blonde hair with lots of grey coming in, so I recently “cooled” down my blonde hair to match the roots better,…and I noticed that certain colours I wear don’t look as a good as when my hair was more of true blonde. Also vice versa, other colours look better now with my cooler blonde hair. So my question is, how important is it to make the tone of our hair go with the tone of our skin so that it all works together with our clothing? Does skin tone or hair tone trump the colour analysis?
Loved this session. The color systems are definitely not based on fair or dark skins. It is based on tones. The guidelines vary. It is personal. Thanks for doing this!
I’ve been looking at colors and the colors I wear ever since I bought a green shirt that looks terrible on me. I love greens and wear them all the time so I was confused as to why that one was terrible. Finally realized it’s a softer green and a bit too yellow. I need deeper, bolder colors.
The one color I cannot wrap my brain around is royal purple. I get so many compliments when I wear it. Like, everywhere I go, people will stop me to tell me how amazing I look. But I absolutely HATE the way it looks on me! I’ve tried to like it but I just can’t. I don’t know what other people are seeing that I’m not.
It’s funny but that was how I figured out I’m cool toned😂. I saw a photo of me in royal purple and was flabbergasted. True royal purple is actually quite deep (my dominant) and usually pretty clear (not me at all). Just like with the white balance on your camera, it might be balancing your complexion on their eyes. That is why I have trouble with seasons because if a color is deep, it will look pretty good no matter what and if a deep color is cool and/or muted, it is ideal.
Very helpful! So I guess warm/cool is just one of the three dichotomies, along with soft/bright and light/dark? I love the idea of identifying one's dominant trait.
Great conversation from Signe and Christina. Thanks.
Wearing a scarf meet your face in your colors is a good way to wear other colors that are not as suitable for you, especially if you really like those less suitable colors and still want to wear them.
Black, grey, navy and similar are all traditional colors of menswear. That is why they are seen as serious, business-like, etc.
I agree that we often know our best colors instinctively- or at least due to the response we see in others. As for dark being perceived as “strong” or “confident”… I do believe some of this is due to patriarchy and the divisions in gender norms. Some men refuse to wear pink or pastels, and historically, women have been associated with pastels. This surely differs between cultures, but the “Western” notion is that men should project strength, and women should project comfort and softness. There is that word, though, and I don’t believe any of us are best served by “shoulding ourselves.” 😊
Filters aren't seasonal color analysis. Tonal analysis is just as confusing until you learn the system. Once I learned what I was in both seasonal and tonal colors it all seems so silly. My dominant characteristic is warm, but I have soft and medium. I'm a true autumn seasonally. Those are the exact same thing. They teach me to do the same thing with how to wear colors.
One advantage to tonal that I see is that it isn’t as rigid as your skin and hair change and the palette is much more specific to you. I’m a deep winter. Many of the lighter pastels are not my cup. My primary right now is deep but as my hair grays (hopefully slowly) that will change and necessitate a change in my colors. Black may look too harsh then, for one and those pastels may not be so out of keeping.
@@TheBaumcm age related changes are considered with seasonal color analysis too. Whether you're working with HOC who just says your "wow" colors change or with another system who might say you "soften or lighten" as you age or gray. They all factor it in.
Im predominantly warm bc i can barely wear blue at All (unless it's like a green, which is one of my Better colour) but i can wear both warm spring and autumn colours so Ye, i def look at the predominant trait, bc getting Further is SO HARD
loved this ❤ (also enjoyed the color reading signe did for christina and chrisrina's more recent video on the color wheel)
Charlie's Angles😊❤
We need a Charlie! Haha
This makes so much sense. I've always been very sensitive to color, I guess I'm one of those that have a very precise eye for it. Thank you Signe, this definitely helps me look differently at the outfits I do it don't like.
Very interesting, new perspectives for me. Nice conversation and surroundings. Thanks.
As an artist who uses paint, colour is huge for lifting a mood but also the tone and depth are important or 'undertone' too. This topic has many strands and tangents you can explore further down the line. A very very long time ago I had my 'colours done' at a small party with a group of friends. The consultant was hesitant and could not decide whether I was an Autumn or Winter person. I'm not sure either but instinctively know I shouldn't be wearing a particular shade because I look like death warmed up. 😄 Good to see you all. Many thanks 😊 xxx
My coloring is very similar to Christina and Alyssa’s, in my experience depth and contrast somehow it makes our look pop, whereas,muted tones tend to “wash” the depth out. I prefer to wear muted tones as under layers with their contradictory deep tones and as bottom layers further from my face… 🙏🏻💕
I’m deep and muted so I’d say it depends on the clarity of your coloring. Muted is mixed with either gray or brown so if you go with one that has too much white or yellowy tones, and you’re cool, it might wash you out.
There are so many different colour analysis systems out there so yes it can get confusing.
My sense is that apps or filters cannot be relied upon for accurate results.
It's funny because every colour analyst I have watched has reported that they have had many clients who have tried other systems than the one they use and that the clients have received completely different results (results they didn't feel quite resonated). Is it because of the system that was used? Is it the consultant? 🤷🏻
As for all things in this world I don't think there is a one size fits all when it comes to colour analysis and I think that different systems resonate for different people, whether you are the client or the consultant, and that there are, as in all professions, consultants that are better at what they do than others.
I find that undertone is key (and no, the colour of your veins does not indicate undertone, I think that's a social media thing 🙄).
However, most systems (if not all) take into consideration so many more factors than just the undertone: intensity, value, contrast, depth etc. So, for instance, I don't think that Signe would ever get recommended to wear pure fuchsia no matter which colour analysis system is used (reference to an example Christina gave in the video).
"Neutral" does come up in certain systems even though they may otherwise be viewed as "Seasons systems" because of the wording that is used to name the different colour palettes.
Whatever system you go with: never wear *any* make-up whether you're doing a consultation or an at-home DIY analysis, and your hair needs to be covered in particular if you have dyed your hair or have highlights etc.
I personally believe that we have one palette no matter how old we are once we have gone through puberty (so from our early twenties). Going grey should not affect the colours that we look best in. A good colour analysis system can be used on all skin colours from the fairest to the darkest.
No colour analysis palette needs to be followed in a strict manner if you don't wish to, even though I think that colour combining is probably easier if you do.
To sum up this very long comment: we all need to go with what feels best for us 😊🌺💜
Brilliant 👏
@@katem3961 Oh thank you Kate!! ☺ What a lovely way to start my day 😎🌺💜
Just stumbled upon this because I'm interested in sustainability and colour analysis. I totally agree that colour is subjective but I can understand people getting frustrated if they need to have multiple analysis and have had different results as the cost really does add up. I am having my second one done and I am very excited. I don't have the money to invest more in it after that though 😂
There are so many colour analysis systems out there that it can get confusing and the results can vary quite significantly from one system to another or from one consultant to another.
I don't know which system could be considered the absolute best or the most accurate because I think different systems work and resonate for different people, as with everything else in life 😊
I do however believe that we only have one colour palette throughout our life, no matter how old we are once we have gone through puberty (so from our early twenties). Going grey or having a tan should not affect the colours that we look best in simply because, as far as I have understood, our "best colours" are based on our biology and DNA.
This is simply my point of view. I haven't myself had a colour analysis... yet ☺but I have seriously been considering it for many months now as I've been feeling a desperate need and want to get out of my black wardrobe rut 🙄 and it's also something I've always been interested in.
But it's a big investment even though I'm convinced that once you've found your right palette you save money in the long run when making clothing purchases.
Wishing you the best of luck with your second colour analysis 🤞🏻😊🌺
❤
Lovely to see you all together!! ❤️
The reason "You're getting cooler analysis wrong" is....MOST people who do Color Analysis are not trained correctly how to do it! Sad to say there are MANY out there doing it that don't have a clue and do people wrong.
Love this conversation and how to wear colors. I had my colors done and the analyst suggested I donate all of the things that don’t look good on me - I was a little offended haha! I really like hot pink (as a dark autumn, this is not a “good” color on me.) But I think learning how to make our favorite colors work, I started being more mindful about clothing pairings and how jewelry, hair, and outerwear can impact how my “worst” but favorite colors I love can still look great on me.
completely agree! i think incorporating my colors into makeup was a game changer for me and allows me to feel great in clothes that aren’t my colour. i am like textbook deep winter-pale cool skin very dark hair, brows and eyes. I think steering away from warm bronzers and nude lips made way more difference to how i look than my pants or something. my face definitely looks more alive and less made up with cool contrasting lipsticks
That is great, but I dont even always see if it is a warm or cool colour nor if Silver or Gold look better on me 😅
I enjoy you ladies so much. You’re gracious and kind to each other. So refreshing! Question: I’m 67 and had my colors done in my 20s by Color Me Beautiful which classified me as “ 33:10 Summer. “ This year I just had my colors done with House of Color. Which confirmed me as a True summer as well . Which I was told both times no gold they it would look cheap on me. I can’t really see that but do wear delicate gold jewelry. Ignoring that part Of the rule. Summer has a bright green but no soft pale sage green which I love . I’m continuing to wear these pieces and wondering about your color analysis which does include this green like your coat and jacket Signe. Thanks for clarifying that your method includes this color. I have hair colored like you just a bit darker blonde and get a toner to cut the gold and light brown eyes with blue vines and italian easily tanning skin. Love to have you Broaden my choices with the anew Color Me beautiful technique. Thanks ladies I love all three of you!
I'm also a summer and that light sage green was in my palette from my Color Me Beautiful analysis, back in the 80's.
I think it would depend on whether you are clear or soft. I was told that my palette is the swatch colors but also all the colors between, meaning if it would fit between two of my existing colors, it works. Also, not all yellow gold is super yellowy.
Great topic ladies! Would deep autunm be warm, deep, and clear?
Sister season dark/deep winter is deep cool and soft/muted.
You need to get together with somebody who has an olive undertone, that would be a whole other podcast. Also, I keep coming across various excperts who can't even agree if Taylor Swift is a spring or a summer type, for example.
This is all very well until your colouring changes with age. I used to be dark autumn, lived like that for years, until hair got some grey (I covered it slightly lighter brown gradually) and brown went from eyes, living them brighter green. I went to three different colour analysts and got three different results, so completely confused.
I understand your confusion and I'm sorry that you're feeling that way 😞
There are so many different colour analysis systems out there and the results can vary so significantly from one system to another or even from one consultant to another that it makes it very difficult to know which one or who to truly trust. Is there one system that is better than the others? I don't know. I don't necessarily think so. It has to be a match between the system, the consultant and the person having their "colours done".
There must have been something that made you consult 3 different colour analysts. Was there something that felt off in the colours that you were recommended? 🤔
I believe that we only have one colour palette throughout our life, no matter how old we are once we have gone through puberty (so from our early twenties). Going grey or having a tan should not affect the colours that we look best in simply because, as far as I have understood, our "best colours" are based on our biology and DNA. There are some consultants who like to see pictures of their clients throughout the years in order to make a more accurate assessment.
If you wish to cover your greys, I would recommend you try to stick as much as possible to your natural hair colour before going grey.
Wishing you the best in finding *your* true colours 😊🌺
Yes, something did make me consult 3 different colour consultants! The original one had retired, the next one was the same company, so thought would be OK, but she told me bright spring (I was deep autumn before), the colours (bright pinks, blues, corals) looked awful on me (I tried for a year), husband and friends told me I looked ill! I went to another one, the same company, told me warm spring, i.e. still brighter than autumn before but very hot (colours made me looked flushed and red in face). The third, a different company told me warm autumn, but again the colours were so warm (warmer than deep autumn had been) made me flushed and red in the face. I do dye hair close to original colour, but lighter, as a retired person, I would look strange being very dark brown!@@soulexplorer76
@@trishagoodwin4069 Hello Trisha. Sent you a long reply over on Carol Brailey's channel a little while ago. I was going to recommend that you look it up but I saw that you were already familiar with her channel 👍🏻
Wishing you to find your best colours 😊🌺
Consider looking for what you see as your primary first. I am primarily deep and soft, but also cool. Deep colors of all undertones look good enough but it isn’t until I pull medium colors that you can see the difference, soft from clear and cool from warm. As I tan in the summer, my overtone takes over a bit and my contrast goes down so I will often wear paler versions of the colors I wear in winter, or the more medium shades of my palette, which I expect would happen as I age as well. Mostly, I think the palette gives you a pool to work with and then you can narrow it by trial and error.
@@TheBaumcmThanks for your kind reply! I have been "auditioning" different clothes from my wardrobe to wear on holiday next week, including a black tie event. The pale turquoise dress was warm toned but too light, made my skin look off. A deeper mid tone warm turquoise better but not brilliant. The best colour (I had not even worn it, at the back of my wardrobe) was very deep, quite bright, almost neon, but warm pink; definately warm it works with gold jewellery, but not silver and made my skin glow. Also a dress in deep, warm and very bright shades of pink, yellow and green dots on ivory background, same effect. I am wondering now about bright spring?!
Wait a minute…. If my main feature is contrast, when you younger (pale skin, very dark hair) as I age and get grey hair, contrast is what I am going to lose completely and become tonal. So how can I orientate on that then? Makes no sense at all…
I personally don't think we change colour palette (or "season") as we age or if we get a tan etc. I believe that we have the same one throughout our life simply because, as far as I have understood anyway, our "best colours" are based on our biology and DNA. The fact that we can get assessed differently depending on analysis system and/or consultant is a whole different story... 🤔😕
@@soulexplorer76I disagree wholeheartedly, with this small caveat. Your overall palette doesn’t change but the colors within your palette that most suit you will, for seasonal analysis. Tonal analysis focuses on your coloring overall, as it is and as it changes, and will change accordingly. My overall is deep. I can wear deep colors of both autumn and winter but not the more clear colors of either. As I gray, the contrast will change and I will probably not go for black as much as charcoal but will be able to go more towards the medium shades of cool and muted and still have contrast.

Sorry I'm still no wiser about how to find out what colour suits me ...I think red pink blue white navy black ok ..not brown cream
Talk to the designers… they don’t design for these concepts of color
I think the center lady would look so much better in stronger colors, the pastels and neutrals she wears wash her out…makes me doubt the whole idea!
I think we can sometimes mistake "washed out" with a naturally fair skin as well as certain colours giving our faces "more colour". The question is whether our skin looks healthy or not in certain colours.
I'm not a colour analyst myself. I haven't even had my own colours done... not yet anyway but seriously considering it 😊
From what I have observed: if you have a cool undertone, your best colours will enhance that "coolness" in your skin which should not be confused with it looking paler or more "washed out". On the contrary, warmer colours will give the skin a sallow aspect which can be confused with the skin having gotten some colour and not looking so fair/pale. But... it's not a healthy glow.
If you have a warm undertone, cool colours will definitely wash you out whereas warmer colours will give your skin a warm healthy golden glow.
The "center lady", Signe, is Danish. She has what has long been considered to be typically Scandinavian colouring: blonde with fair skin. I think that stronger colours would make *her* disappear and the focus would be mainly on the colour she would be wearing. The whole point of finding our "best colours" is to make *us* shine and look our best, not our clothes or the colours we are wearing. They come second.
I hope this helps 😊
I agree. Not like her best colors
I don’t see her washed out here
I truly love the content but..the over use of the word 'like' "like" distracts from that great content.!
Too many "like, like" in every sentence. I'm surprised grown people talk like that.
