Your understanding of colour analysis is so much better than anything else on the internet
fr, i quote her work like she's Aristotle 🙇📖
I love that we get to see more of your strong opinions and personality in this vid!!
WELL I think you are very fun and nice. And all of your other videos are too 😁
aw thank you!
No problem at all. Keep doing your thing. Your content is always a good experience 🖤
“you don’t know what that’s gonna do to their skintone”🤣
😂
The "Simultaneous contrast is NOT great if you're Anne Hathaway and it makes you look more blue" sounded like some amazing quote Miranda Priestley could say 😂
I can watch your videos for hours! Great content
very informative! You just explained to me why when I was a little girl my undertone/skintone was so different than it is now.
5:03 "Oh that sounds fancy 'sImUlTaNeOus cOnTrAsT'" 😂
And I thought this was going to be a nice fun video… oh my goodness you crack me up, so funny. I enjoyed the video, thank you!
I have a theory that the most universal colors would be darker muted cool reds and greens. Burgundy and forest green, for example. They're cool, they're muted (and I feel like it's better for radiant undertones to wear a burgundy than for muted undertones to wear a bright red), they're close to neutral by virtue of being red and green, so they're not going to be extremely cool, and finally, the reason I think they should be dark is because blondes and other low-contrast people can actually look quite pretty in dark colors and can add makeup and accessories to tie them in, whereas those of us with higher contrast tend to look washed out in colors that are too pale.
wow, that's a perfect idea.
The deeper the skin the more you can't easily notice the effect unless you examinate carefully.its like when you wear dark clothes vs light and you spill something it's more noticeable and evident with the light because with dark you can't really see
I have no eye for colour analysis in people but I noticed that my mother and I often times suit way different kinds of clothes even though we have similar features and eye colour. She looks great in bright cool colours so she would pick such clothes for me as well when I was young and it looked ok but kind of costumy in my opinion. I started wearing muted neutral shades at some point growing up because I felt like it looked more classy but when I borrowed her my clothes she looked very washed out and sickly, way older than her age. I guess she is radiant and cool toned because anything else than those colours just does not work on her but for me, it kind of does? However, I don’t look my best, I feel very comfortable and elevated in camel tones and fleshy rosy colours, which look the worst on my mom, maybe I‘m warm and delicate?
I always thought that red works for everyone.
Conclusion: "There's no such thing as universal colors" and "Universal colors are usually just jewel tones"
Great video, thank you 💖
I don’t know what I am. We used to used the four seasons only. Now I’m not sure.
Really enjoy your color videos, thank you.
Am I the only one who doesn't think Anne looks terrible in the yellow? It looks like a cool-toned, lemony yellow to me - which a lot of Winters look great in.
I think just cause you are a cool season, doesn't mean you can't wear yellow. Everyone's skin literally has yellow tones in it, to varying degrees - it's just a matter of finding the right shade of yellow for you.
I honestly may not have known which was supposed to be the bad pic side by side with her purple suit. I just can't see what color analysts mean! But I don't think that's directly answering your question.
I think it just means the yellow sticks out like a sore thumb, it looks out of place and not in harmony with her natural features so it doesn't enhance her features. She looks beautiful in literally everything to me haha but I think this is what is meant :)
I believe it's a cultural thing. Here in my country, people don't like the yellowy effect people with warm undertones acquire when wearing cool and bright colors. It reminds us of a symptom of a disease we have here and we end up associating it with poor health. The blueish and greyish effect is not considered nice, but we don't think it's so much worse than the opposite. I don't think a cool lady wearing warm tones looks worse than a warm lady wearing cool tones. Both seem a little off.
I think that Merriam has a video in which she said that in her opinion yellow is always warm - no matter the tone of the yellow - it's just warm - I think she has a special video dedicated to yellow. If I remember correctly that is of the reasons she does not "believe" in traditional seasonal analyses b/c they put "cool/bright" yellow as an optimal color for bright cool people.
Anyway, back to Anne - when she is in that yellow (which in fact some may categorize as "cool" yellow) I have to drag my eyes to focus on her face and not on that color of the dress, and her skin does look red blotchy and wax like. Ann herself is beautiful som once I force myself to focus on her face - yep, she is beautiful but it is inspite of the color. When she is in that super bright purple first thing I see (despite the color being that bright) is her face and her glowing skin and only after that I see the color of her blazer.
Thanks for the video. I appreciate what I’ve learned from you. I was wondering, though, if red could be a universal color? Bluer reds vs. warmer reds (like they do with lipstick shades)?
I love your colour videos
I'm so grateful for these videos, every thing you talk about is so helpful! And what fascinates me, it always was this way, since I found you like 6 years ago
aw thank you so much!
I was told that Aqua of turquoise is a universal color because it’s in everyone’s palette
Warm delicates tend to look very ashy with that shade, very similar to orange in cool and delicate.
as a pale, cool and radiant olive skin tone my wardrobe is limited. Finding Anne Hathaway's clear chroma purple and jewel tones is difficult in "good fabrics" like linen or wool that use so many dusty/pale/pastel colors. thankfully I have black and white at least, and even then the black is often a "dusty black" not a clear chroma black. When I tan (naturally) I pull off warm and radiant colors better than cool and muted colors. but the jewel tones are my best colors
I understand exactly what you’re saying.
O m f g merriam you are psychic. I always think of your old videos years old about Anne Hathaway, and I seen her on WWHL in that yellow dress and I thought wow how stunning and gorgeous does she look in that, and I thought how maybe it's all wrong. I love her in that yellow dress I wonder if it's because it's kinda far from her face!
A bright yellow is part of a winter color palette, so that makes sense. I think she looks great in that yellow too! But most other yellows for sure don't work for a winter.
@@rosethorn0232yellow is still yellow no matter how "winter" it is, all jewel tones look 100x times better on Anne than her "best" yellow, and being fair it's not gonna work for all winters out there
I think yellow only works on Bright Winters, not on Deep or True Winters. And that yellow has to be bright BUT not golden. So like a neon, lemony yellow rather than a sunflower or canary yellow.
I think that turquoise is probably more "universal" than purple is, but it's still going to make a difference how bright it is. I think this actually goes for any color that is just right or left of cyan. Purple and grey are my worst colors.
I know I’m a winter but not sure about the sub categories. I really love to wear true soft yellow but always mix it with black or navy. But the greens, cobalt blue and emerald green hot pink are my favorites. Perhaps I am missing something. I’d love to have my analysis done. I just cannot tan.
Thank you thank you thank you for this. I am warm neutral and love cool tones and I don’t think I look that bad in them even though technically I am not supposed to wear them. I don’t prefer very black though.. look paler❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've seen navy blue, watermelon, teal are universal but I look much better in teal than watermelon so it's too warm I think? For universal colour.
Wouldn't universal colors be like a pure red and a pure green? The ones right in the middle of the warm/cool spectrum?
My melasma complicates things. My body is super pale but i have diffuse hyperpigmentation on my cheeks so i have a warmth to my face but body is cool olive color. Im gonna stick to burgundy, navy and dark green.
I rea6 appreciate this video. As a warm and medium deep person, I've always been confused about the fact that so many cool colours that shouldn't look good on me, actially work.
I often thought that my judgement was off, and would still avoid a cool colour, even when it seemingly looked good.
You are excellent at what you do. 🏆
You really should have pulled up the picture of Anne Hataway with that terrifying golden dress with the hoodie she wore at that fashion show and it would have made the point across real quick lol
Can you show what a cool and radiant tan looks like in a future video
I've heard that when you tan, it's actually your overtone changing not your undertone, so your color season doesn't ever change, even with a tan. Do you have any thoughts on that theory??
Yes, she has. Watch her other Videos on undertones/overtones. ;)
I I’m warm tone and that deep blue on Drew Barrymore is my favorite even though I it is prolly not the best on my warm neutral skin tone
I learned many things: your colors are supposed to bring out what your skin mostly has. when you described yellow bringing out the little yellow Anne Hathaway would have in her skin (therefore making it look blotchy) I remembered seeing myself in yellowish colors and thinking it looked like I had hives 😂. and cool toned clothes look at least okay on most skin tones and it’s really the cool toned people that are more limited in colors to wear.
I guess when in doubt buy a cool tone 😂
I read somewhere, because of Rihannas warm olive skintone that she wears cool colors to counteract the yellow or sallowness so...idk.
Yes, a lady selling clothes was mentioning that Navy Blue was a universal colour, as Coral !! Eggshell?
I am extremely extremely light but warm toned. And never than not a bit.
Can you please please do a video on how a soft gamine with a romantic essence can prioritize her lines while blending in the romantic essence.
Since my Mother went fully silver, she relies heavily on Jewel tones for colour and contrast.
Cool bright jewel tones ? Not on me !
But I like the distinction radiant vs delicate.
I was typed winter by hoc. When I wear muted cool tones I turn yellow, almost orange. In warm tones I look grey and blotchy. I think its odd muted cool tones (like baby blue) make me almost appear jaundice! Ps I'm always told I resemble Anne Hathaway!
I've experienced something similar. I used to wear black because "it looks good on everyone" but it makes my skin looks orange. Merriam's system was a life saver for me. I was so confused about color analysis but her point about "orange vs magenta" made me realize that I was warm and delicate and I've never looked back!
@@anarchsnark oh I am definitely not warm. Cool and bright is best on me. I'd still love to see how Miriam's analysis would be though and hope to do one soon!
@@Celeste-.-marie Sorry didn't mean to suggest you're warm at all just sharing that I also noticed my wrong 'universal' colors making me look orange and odd.
I've heard such opinion that grey could be called a neutral or rather safe choose. But the point is that for everyone there are colors that suit better than gray, as well as colors that look worse
I’ve realized jewel tones actually don’t work on me at all. They just overpower me. Pastels also look horrible on me. They wash me out or bring out my skin’s imperfections. I am pretty sure I am soft autumn.
Everything looks good on me (soft warm here), EXCEPT beige. If you are a flamboyant gamine with high contrast, forget the neutral beige! (Unless it’s Halloween and you go for the corpse bride look 💀).
Yeees! I love the minimalist camel colored clothing but I look like a blob in them lol
I heard Rihanna is a soft summer or something close.
She's cool n delicate, whatever season that is
She doesn’t look like a summer to me. She has more warmth than what you would expect in a summer.
I‘m warm and delicate and I look horrendous in jewel tones. I better make sure to stay away from any TV shows 🤣 another “universal” colour that’s supposed to look good on everyone but makes me look like I need to throw up: mint / sage green
If Anne Hathaway would look blue in a warm tone, why do some cool toned people look yellow in warm tones? (Like me!)
Same question!
Yes I've noticed that some fully cool toned turn yellow when They wear warm colors and fully warm turns grey when they wear cool colors
Are you ok? You seem kind of distracted and irritated in this video.
that's so funny! I filmed this right after I filmed the ChatGPT video so that's probably why. sorry about that.
And I was thinking how she seems more confident than usual
This is also a topic the fires her up 🔥
I tend to listen without looking and it sounded like the usual confidence 😂
0:44 "we're not gonna get upset, we're gonna have some fun, this is how I have fun ok??!!!" 😂
I personally love this energy
Well this makes sense why my bridesmaids lobbied for green dresses and not coral… 😂.
