I'm a warm olive, an "autumn" in seasonal color system, and I always felt the "warm" purples and blues in autumn palettes looked awful on me making me appear sallow, and I was so confused since it makes sense warm undertones will look better in "warm" color variations but in practice didn't work. I've always felt indigo and traditionally "cool" purples looked better, and now I understand why!
Thank you for such a unique and refreshing approach in color analysis ❤
This is great to hear! The seasonal color analysis has the idea of warm vs cool which is not based on science and this is why it doesn't work at all.
I disagree with your take on olive skin-toned people. Not all olive skin tones are warm-toned. This information is outdated. I have yellow skin, so I am cool olive, and blue-reds look great on me. However, green pulls out the green in my skin, making me look even greener.
this is pure science, not opinion that I am sharing.
Thinking in warm versus cool is wrong from the get-go.
The human skin color spectrum is within the warm colors from yellow to red - all warm colors.
This doesn´t mean that you can only wear warm colors as an olive skin. This is also a flawed idea planted by the seasonal color analysis that is not scientific!
You will be able to wear warm and cool colors, as all the other color types - but very specific ones based on your unique color type and features.
I think you are both right in part. There is the scientific explanation but then our perception is still something to be considered
@labb592 perception is always altered and influenced by habituation, culture, religion, media, the health status of your eyes/body, and more. My observation is that many people perceive dissonance as desirable because of media influence in the last decades (especially in the west). You living in dissonance creates illness that certain people highly benefit from.
yellow skin doesn't make you olive. My friend has yellow skin but I am definitely olive compared to her.
there is plenty misconceptions around olive skin.
Yellow glow of the skin doesn´t necessarily mean you are olive but it means that you have yellow pheomelanin dominance which oftentimes lies in the Yellow Root Skin Color Family - which is olive skin.
Be aware of the variety between different olive skin tones. Not all olive skin tones look the same!
I love this thank you❤️❤️❤️ so helpful as always. I would love to see hair colors for olive skin tones

Well, I thought I was olive, but these colours don't work for me at all. Especially the orange. Makes me look sickly.
Orange has a fairly large spectrum and most people/Color types can wear some type of orange. Maybe you have a True Orange in mind while your best Orange could be a red-orange or a yellow-orange.
there is cool and warm olive, bright and muted olive; maybe you are cool and muted olive?
"cool" is oftentimes referred to in seasonal analysis when it is simply soft chroma.
Scientifically, there are only warm skin tones as they can only range from red to yellow - all warm colors.
@@ellaraystylethat’s very interesting. what about people who have very dark skin with that violet-like hue to them?
edit: ohh i think you actually have a video on it , i just saw someone else’s comment mentioning a blue chart that you have ☺️
people who have a blue or violet like hue to their dark skin are part of the Blue Root Skin Color family.
Here we have to consider the lighting as well because certain type of light can make anyone´s skin look blueish.
So under analysis conditions, I would make sure that the person´s image is made correctly with the right lighting to make sure no outside source is influencing the skin color.
I love the details I can learn from this video, really. They do confirm some things I thought might be true and clarify other things I was a bit confused about.
By the way: I do wear only gold jewelry by now and I was absolutely stunned about how much different I feel by doing this. I basically exchanged every single piece I wore and not only do people tell me, it suits me better than silver, I feel so much better too. But that switch made me feel like certain colors I wore are actually not great for me on an energetic level, honestly, I thank you so much for kickstarting this journey. I really wish we didn't have so many things on the list we have to spend money on so I could show my appreciation in booking your services, actually supporting your business, but that's absolutely impossible atm.
It is such a blessing that you create and share your perspective and knowledge with the www, honestly.
Unrelated question (I hope I didn't already ask this): Do you feel color energy and do you sense color? Can you tell what color a scent would have or what color a musical composition has? I think this might just be sensing energies in general and your brain creating a connection with something you feel most at home with. But I might be wrong here. E.g. all my favorite perfumes have a similar color to me. Some are more rich, others more subtle, but they all share similar qualities OR sit in a triadic relation to the others. The types of music I prefer to listen to comes down to a similar color family as the perfumes, really and that really made me smile yesterday, because I do think there is a specific connection existing, but I just haven't fully figured it out yet.
This is beautiful to hear! I appreciate your feedback and thoughts, Julia.
Yes, I feel/sense colors with related senses like sounds and smells (synesthetic).
This is why I feel utterly overwhelmed in stores as I see, hear, smell, taste everything at the same time from one source of sense. It creates a massive overload that my brain needs a lot of time to process.
It´s interesting that you have a preference for a triadic setting in perfumes. When you start analyzing the content of perfumes you can see relations to your color type as the ingredients based on flowers have a color/frequency - a fascinating field that I will definitely dive into in future videos.
Light olive skin. I could never figure out why I couldn’t wear blue. With light skin and dark hair, so many Winter palettes featured blue. I can only wear blue if a lot of yellow has been added - teal or turquoise. I’ve found a tomato red works well. Now I understand why.
This is so beautiful to hear! What´s your eye color?
I'm olive, and anything remotely warm or orange-leaning looks absolutely awful on me. Red and blue are some of the best shades I can wear.
My experience shows that many olive skin types have not explored the entire orange/warm spectrum and thus believe they cannot wear warm colors. Even though this spectrum is one of their best!
I can guarantee, that red and blue are dissonant with your color type - unless you are not olive/yellow Root Skin Color.
This. The video makes no sense. Especially blue fits in so many variations with olive skin, same with darker reds and burgundy.
are we talking about the same definition of olive skin?
There will be a huge difference between someone who has brown eyes or hazel eyes when it comes to the question of whether or not they can wear blue and red. Also, the specific sub-Root Skin Color will heavily influence whether you can wear red and blue or not.
Most olive skin types (scientific definition) cannot wear those colors well.
Be aware of the wide spectrum of red and cool red as well as cyan-classic blue-indigo blue which cannot be treated all the same way.
Burgundy can be based on classic red but also true pink. They cannot be treated the same for olive skin types.
There are barely any standards in color names which is why I rather work with frequencies and wavelengths because you can measure and calculate those exactly for every person.
Generic advice is only that: generic. While it sometimes can help to categorize color types I don´t fancy it much, because there are 9 billion unique color types! I love this very aspect that people are unique and what will work for one olive skin type will not work for another EVEN if they look very similar. And this comes down to energetics - not only what coloring you have.
It is always the safest to get your custom color analysis done for the most accurate results and fully aligned colors.
Pretty sure I'm olive and your right about the blue. Reds kind of hard to wear but I'm going to try the red orange.
Let me know how you feel about red-orange when you tried it!
Thank you 🙏🏼
That blood orange is fantastic and I can wear a spiced tomato. Very informative 💕
Most welcome! Good to hear you find value.
Thank you! This was helpful for me! I always thought that I leaned olive, but according to this video I clearly am not. I think I'm actually on your Blue chart in the MB4-5 range. Now to figure out what to do with that information 😅
Most welcome, this is great to hear!
If you can exclude Yellow Root Skin Color, you can cross-check with the Skin Color Chart to find your exact Sub-Root Skin Color.
Once you know this, many of my videos will make more sense to you, and I am giving advice for specific Root Skin Colors in future videos.
Or you say you don't want to rely on your eyes and your own analysis and potentially get it wrong you can book a Color analysis (Color Palette 3, 12, or 48 for your wardrobe, hair color, and/or makeup) to know for sure which Root Skin Color you have and the colors that are aligned with your True Color Type. Links are in the description.
Let me know if you have questions.
FINALLY. More people need to realise this. You are absolutely correct with every point you made. A lot of people just do not understand skintones and colour and I mainly blame the makeup industry for the whole "cool, warm, neutral" thing. They tried to simplify undertones for the average person to understand but in reality it just spreads misinformation. I hope your videos can reach so many more people. ❤
Thank you! I appreciate you sharing this with me. 🌺
I’ve got yellow skin - not warm unless I’m tan (which I do quickly in the summer). I have cool gray eyes and brunette hair - with cools as it grows out at the roots- but warms up to a red in the summer sun. When I bleach my hear - the undertone is corn yellow. I use anti-brass toners & the cooling of my hair compliments my face better than the reddish yellow that creeps in during the summer months of sun.
Cool colors seem to suit my skin & softer, muted colors are key to keeping balance in winter - when my tan fades and my skin looses that warmth.
I feel very between and changeable. I’ve been a dyed redhead, blonde, and dark brunette at different phases of my life & have pulled each off decently. Wanting to grow into a more natural state in my 40’s is a challenge. I’m a chameleon with the seasons. It not that I can choose wrong- I certainly have made terrible color combos- but as the gals say in the comments - I tend olive in my skin - but struggle to wear those warm colors - and yet- to wear the cool colors effectively, I must stay out of the sun completely (not a possibility for my work and location), and I must keep cooling the warmth out of my hair as it ages. I wonder if olives need more work to really pin down all that goes on with them during the changes of a year?
The most work transition types have. Each color type has their challenges. Just because you see yellow in your skin doesn't mean you have olive skin. Light skin people have both yellow and red melanin in their skin. So all light color types have yellow to some degree.
@@ellaraystyle I’m very yellow. Other skin looks pink compared to mine. I have Spanish Mexican ancestry with Cherokee and Scottish. It’s a crazy combo. My skin is not warm - or at least - color matching my skin takes makeup artists a long time. It’s not neutral- and cool is too pink still. I mix my own skin tint - every time. I use yellow skin powder and it works.
Sounds like a beautiful mix between pheomelanin and eumelanin!
Based on how you describe your features it seems that you are a transition type.
But to be sure, I would need to conduct a full analysis or you could find your exact Root Skin Color with my Skin Color Chart. It will show you what Root you have and whether you are a transition type.
If interested, you can get it here: www.ellaray.com/store.
Let me know if you have any questions.
i’m definitely olive!!! i made some palettes of my skin tone with an app i have & they definitely match colors on your yellow chart. i have some of those light yellowish gray tones in me as well. i’m hoping i can learn from your channel bc i’ve been so lost trying to find my season & colors trust suit me.
i can see you don’t reference cool & warm. and that always confuses me bc some people say Olive is an undertone vs. an overtone. and some people say all olives are cool. so i truly get so lost. but i can definitely see a difference in different olive tones. so do you have a certain system you use for olives? i know not every olive skin tone works with the same colors or would that just be because of the chroma or deep vs. light etc. ?
My science-based system is not based on warm vs. cool (like the seasonal analysis), which makes it more accurate and inclusive (while the seasonal is exclusive: it was developed for white women).
Most people end up frustrated like you searching for years for their season only to be disappointed by the colors given once they "find" their season.
Scientifically speaking, there are not 4 color types as the seasonal analysis suggests but 9 billion.
My system is the only one capable of finding all 9 billion instead of squeezing you in 1 of 4 boxes where you don't belong.
There are no under- or overtones. This was a helpless and clueless attempt to describe the skin color when people knew nothing about it on a scientific level. Now we do, which is incorporated in my system.
Olive is Yellow Root Skin Color, and all color types are warm. All color types can wear both warm AND cool colors (something the seasonal analysis will rob you of).
Yellow RSC can not wear all the same colors as they all have slightly different color frequencies, which are directly connected to color harmony rules that I apply to every client individually.
My system works for all color types in the same way as I analyze every client individually. There is no cookie cutter color type template that I apply to each one (to save time or resources as other systems do).
This makes the system rather complex, in-depth, and time-consuming. But my obsession and commitment to colors, harmony, health, and perfection are a good match for this high-demanding endeavor.
Every person is unique, and I respect and honor that through my system and the colors I develop. 🌺
@@ellaraystyle omg thank you so much for this detailed response! i’m so happy i found your channel!
@@ellaraystyle i can’t thank you enough for taking the time to respond to my comments!
that’s actually very interesting! i’m so intrigued to learn more about your system. it definitely makes sense though. i’m part of a group on reddit & we’re all fair olives.. and most of us are frustrated & confused 🤣. a lot of people i’ve talked to that are similar to me find they can mingle in between 2 seasons in the 12/16 season categories. or find some of the colors don’t work as well in them. so i can totally see what you’re saying.
9 billion is a crazy number! that’s actually amazing.. i knew skin tones were complex but that’s mind blowing.
i can definitely see the yellow in my skin lol. along with other colors. and i find it so interesting that you mix warm & cool colors with all color types.
i am so eager to learn what harmonizes with me. i’ve never thought about it in regards to clothing. i don’t have that bestie that tells you the truth. and bc of other reasons i’ve cut out old friends & don’t talk too much family. so i don’t have many people to turn to for opinions. and i’m definitely the hardest on myself. i’m my own worst enemy & i over analyze myself. i can usually see harmony with other people, most times when i follow your videos i can point out what colors work for that person. but when it comes to myself i’m just lost. and i just find it so hard to know what guidelines to follow. some beliefs cross over & some don’t. lots of it makes sense, but then you have people who don’t fit certain “types”. i can see what you’re saying about the seasons though.. they keep adding more sub categories. as it’s grown from 4 to 12 to 16 to i think 22 now. but everyone is unique like you said. yes there’s similar types but we’re all individuals.
but i’m definitely interested to learning more about your system & i look forward to seeing more videos from you!
most welcome!
I feel you when you say you don´t have many people you could turn to for advice. This was my situation back then and I had to make a decision: either suffer through insufficient systems that would never satisfy my fairly perfectionist mind and eye or I had to develop one myself.
I am honored to be able to help other people. I wake up grateful every day.
Olives have it the hardest if I may say so from my professional perspective - and being an olive/yellow RSC myself.
Not only are we neglected and misanalyzed in the color analysis systems, but also in stores we hardly find the right colors especially when we don´t know what to look for.
It was a real struggle for me as a teen and adult.
What I have uncovered helps me so much in knowing what colors, combinations, and styles to wear to always look my best - but most importantly having an armor of healthy colors that help my body stay healthy is my number one reason to move these mountains. It is not about being pretty but about being healthy. And a healthy body is always the most beautiful in my eyes.
There are certainly so many different approaches out there that I can imagine how confusing it may feel.
I hope you find a home on this channel that would help you see the light. 🌺
most welcome 🧡 feel free to share it with those who might benefit from it.
Mmmm I was thinking my root skin color is yellow but,I am starting to doubt a bit...I like red(mainly as lipstick) whitch root skin color can benefit from the color red,and how to be sure if you have really found your root skin color?
Liking a color and it being aligned with your body frequencies are two different things.
Generally speaking, Red Root Skin Colors look radiant in red, while there are also color type variations beyond Red RSC that also look aligned in red.
To be sure what Root Skin Color you have you can check out the Root Skin Color Chart which I specifically created for this purpose (you can find your Root Skin Color by observing the given colors in the chart).
Https://www.ellaray.com/store
The more expensive solution is to get a Color Palette where I will find your exact Root Skin Color so you don't have to guess.
This is all very informative but the prices are ridiculously high for the charts and analysis.
I am offering payment plans for those who might be on a smaller budget. Let me know if that would be helpful for you.
Finally i found someone says that red doesnt look good on olive skin undertone i always avoid that color but i go for corals peaches Salomon same with blue it doesn't do any good on me i thought i was a dark autamn but i felt that some colors are not made for me for example teals muted olive color or muted dark reds this is why i think every one has special features i dont like seasonal color analysis at all thank you for this information ❤❤
You're most welcome! Beautiful that I can shed some light.
I’m a Bright Winter (done by a professional) with medium olive skin, some colors like you mentioned will make my skin look more yellowish/green. What can you advice me? Corals for an example look amazing on me and balanced, black looks great. It can be very confusing because we can borrow from our sister palettes but still..our colors are not stable because of our olive skin.
I see many people, even professionals, confuse olive skin with a specific skin tone or chroma.
I would first make sure to analyze whether you are truly an olive skin type, having yellow Root Skin Color.
To find your perfect colors - based on my recommendations in this video - I would analyze your chroma, depth, contrast and exact Root Skin Color (there are no undertones or warm vs cool color types!) and Triadic Set (a system based in the physics of color energy) which will reveal the right red-orange, true green, and indigo blue for you - to not make your skin look more yellow/green.
Corals will only work for specific yellow Root Skin Colors (Olive skin tones).
Most corals are based in red and while they are not the worst for olive skin they are too dissonant to create a radiant appearance.
Black is harmonious for true bright color types and those who have black hair, black eyes, and for certain Root Skin Colors with high contrast.
The seasonal analysis only knows one type if bright color type. My system is much more granular so that I can detect the exact level of brightness you have. I see professionals declare some people as bright even though they are medium chroma!
There are also transition types who have "unstable" color types which means they oftentimes are not monochromatic (one color frequency in hair, eyes, and skin) but multiple. This dictates for them different color harmony rules - something the seasonal analysis will never catch up on because it was developed on the idea of 4 seasons and not on science. I see the seasonal analysis fail every time for every client.
I'm olive. Similar to Mila Kunis. And my colors are Sapphire, burgundy, baby blue, pinks, light to medium grays and black. But....I also have salt and pepper hair. So I tend to stay away from warm colors as they don't flatter my skintone/hair color combination.
what´s your eye color?
@@ellaraystyle a medium brown.
Olive/Yellow Root Skin Color Types can wear warm colors very well (from Red-Orange to Green) - and I noticed that many people are struggling with warm colors not knowing which ones really suit them best and so they stay away from them entirely.
Having brown hair and brown eyes, you will have more colors to wear than other color types while you would have to be more careful with depth and chroma.
I am a neutral cool olive and true red and blue leaning red loves me. Green has to be a dark pine green, that works on me but all other greens make me look more green, its awful.
I recommend going into red-orange, never classic red for olive skin.
Blue is the worst color for olive skin tones.
I see people confusing olive skin tones with specific chroma types or depth types.
But olive can be an overtone to both cool or warm.
According to science, there are no overtones and no warm vs cool Color types. All Color types are warm and are able to wear both warm and cool colors.
I explain why there are no undertones (or overtones) in this video:
th-cam.com/video/21byvu3ZsZg/w-d-xo.html
I still have no idea what my undertone is. And I have never found a singl color that looks good on me. Happy if it doesnt make me look too sick..😢.
There are no undertones, and I show why in this video: th-cam.com/video/21byvu3ZsZg/w-d-xo.html
I have not met a single person who didn't fit into my system and had beautiful colors that made them look radiant and healthy!
This sounds like you could be a soft or medium chroma type and/or a transition type.
Those have the hardest time finding the right colors (me included 10 years ago, which is why I developed this system that has the highest level of accuracy on the market so far because it is based on science).
Would love to show you through a color analysis that there are colors for you out there that will make you look beautiful, radiant, and healthy.
I am olive I believe.
What makes you sure or unsure about it?
@@ellaraystyle cause I am green sometimes. My husband says I am green, specially in the winter.
makes sense
I am nutural I can’t figure out worm or cool but I have yellow over my skin and pink on my skin too that’s why I gave up brown eyes and hair I just know that dark brown and dusty pink and rose are great on my and green not good
there are only warm color types, so you can stop figuring out warm or cool. You are warm.
Having yellow over or in your skin doesn´t mean that you are olive or have yellow Root Skin Color as most people have some yellow in their skin. It is the amount and mix with other colors/frequencies that will determine your color type/Root Skin Color.
@@ellaraystyle then why I have a rose or. Pink skin color on me
@@ellaraystyle and if color has a brown and pink on it that’s my best color for every think like lipstick blush specially rose pink
I would have to see a picture of you and make an analysis to tell you what Root Skin Color you have; whether or not you have pink in your skin and whether it is your natural skin color or a skin condition which is very common in women due to hormonal imbalances, etc. Otherwise, Yellow Root Skin Color as well as Red Root Skin Color can have both yellow and pink/rose in their skin.
You could find out what Root Skin Color you have with the help of my Skin Color Chart.
Have a look: www.ellaray.com/store.
If you don´t want to do it yourself, you can also book a Color Palette 3, 12, or 48 for your wardrobe, hair, and/or makeup.

@@ellaraystyle thank you. So much it’s very helpful
I taught green is not good for olive skins it brings yellow and green on them face up .?….??
A misconception taught by the seasonal analysis.
Olive Skin tones can wear True Green because it has the right frequency distance to their Root Skin Color and won't bring out any green or yellow in their faces.
This is a general guideline. When analyzing a client, I make sure I choose the right frequency distance to their exact Root Skin Color to avoid yellow or green to appear in their faces.
Yellow is a difficult color for Yellow Root Skin Colors that brings out the yellow in their skin (not green).
For some bright chroma types, it can happen that Olive colors will bring out the green/yellow in their skin. It is very individual, which is why my system is highly personalized.
4:20 😅
Can you elaborate?
