This is your CLEAR/BRIGHT primary characteristic. It is the CLARITY of your coloring, clear beautiful contrast that we notice first. Warm or Cool, is not the most important aspect of your coloring. It may have been difficult to decide between Spring and Winter which seems strange because one is Warm and one is Cool. But one should be better or worse than the other one.Been determined Clear Spring? Then you don't fit easily into the Seasons. Important: Neither drape may be your best color, or maybe both look pretty good. The purpose of test drapes is simply to see which color looks better, or at least not the worst, under your face. If you have really light, soft coloring, you could use pastel pink and pastel peach. Start with a hot pink and a clear bright orange. But back to determining one's undertones: the way to do this is to use at least one, but more can be helpful, set of test drapes to draw out one's undertone. Fine tuning it is great and is what we do in the advanced ColorBreeze system, but simple observations should get you to one's dominant trait or at least her main season. The Light Summer and Soft Summer light are both Summers whose value is quite light. The Deep Autumn and Deep Winter share the same dominant trait and are sister-seasons. While I agree there can be some small surprises in a draping, like someone turning out to be a Deep Autumn rather than a Deep Winter, or a Light Summer is actually a light soft summer, these are not radically different seasons.
(I busted that myth in my "15 Myths of Color Analysis" Report). Because who needs to complicate things if it is not necessary? Some color systems insist one has to be draped (very often at a high price) since someone can turn out to be any season at all.
This is actually how most systems start an analysis but I wanted to talk about the 'dominant trait' method since it is easiest if your dominant trait super obvious. The alternative method for analyzing yourself is to simply determine your undertone. Below are some of those colors for each dominant group:ĭeep Autumn vs. While most seasons share colors from their “sister season”, there will be certain colors which will look best for one season over the other. If you have determined your dominant trait and are still a little unsure whether you lean toward cool colors or warm colors, then test these colors against your face with a swatch, a scarf, sweater, or my Face Flash Cards. Deep, Cool Colors = Deep Winter Deep, warm colors = Deep Autumn Light, warm colors = Light Spring Light, Cool colors = Light Summer Clear, cool colors = Clear Winter Clear, warm colors = Clear Spring Soft, warm colors = Soft Autumn Soft, cool colors = Soft Summer Warm, light colors = Warm Spring Warm, medium colors = Warm Autumn Cool, medium colors = Cool Summer Cool, darker colors = Cool Winter 3. But if your chroma is muted, you are a Warm Autumn. For example: if your dominant trait is “Warm”, and your chroma is clear and more delicate, then you are a Warm Spring. For example, if your dominant trait is "Deep", decide if the deep cool colors - like navy and dark red - look best on you, or the deep warm colors like chocolate brown and forest greenįor those whose dominant trait is already "Warm" or "Cool", decide your chroma next. Once you’ve determined your dominant characteristic, next decide if the warmer or the cooler colors look better.
But you know what? These steps are a good way to begin any analysis.
But now I'm using a much more advanced system.

I created these three steps to show you how to analyze yourself using the 12-season system.
