The weird part for me is that I prefer yellow gold, at least in my past. I'd never had lavender in my clothing until last year. Perhaps our seasons change more significantly as we age. ???

@MJDinVegas - I believe you can wear both, but one will probably complement you more. As an Autumn I look great in gold jewelry. But I love southwestern jewelry, which is silver. So I wear both!

In Winter I wear navy, burgundy/maroon, brown, teal and Plum. I wish I lived in Vegas in a penthouse at the Venetian (:

@Trinity11 I may try again with a picture taken in broad daylight with a good pic of my eye color. My natural hair color is a dishwater blonde, but It’s much lighter now, heavily highlighted to a light buttery blonde shade that’s slightly warm. I still think I’m a light summer because the peachy colors in the light spring palette aren’t good on me.

@Fluke67 - Think about whether you look better in white or off white. I look better in off white or cream colors, which usually means you're one of the "warm" seasons. If you look great in white you are probably one of the "cooler" seasons.

You can hold white up near your face. If you look light and bright you are probably cool. If you see shadows on your face and maybe a greyish look, you're probably warm.

Your eye color can also be an indicator. Mine are hazel (warm): DD's are green (cool).

Of course there are always exceptions. Some people lean neutral!

@beach-mom

You're so right about the white/off white test. I think that's the most reliable method to determine whether you're warm or cool. I had a Color Me Beautiful analysis done way back in the 80s and she classified me as a Spring, which was right on and has never changed. Off whites and creams are some of my absolute best colors - I already knew that, but didn't know why.

Green eyes can go either way, depending on what shade of green they are. My eyes are a deep true green and I'm a Spring through and through. I just googled it and AI (ha!) said that blue green eyes are cool and yellow green eyes are warm. It said that green is a neutral because it's a combination of blue (cool) and yellow (warm). Makes sense.

Interesting @shoesnbags! I didn't know this. DD's eyes are light green and she has very fair (Nicole Kidman fair) coloring. It's been a while since I've seen her natural hair color, but she grew up with ash-toned blonde hair. It became purple in high school, then bright red. (I chose my battles- LOL!) She looks great in pink, which I can't wear.

I was into that when it first came out--1980's? Anyway, to me it is indicative of a more structured and rules bound time of life from that era.

Honestly, I think anyone can wear any color they love and look good if it makes them happy. If you are happy, you are beautiful! I just don't think it makes that much difference in how you look. If you have on something pretty, it's pretty!

Life is short, wear what you love! And others don't care. Either they are busy fretting about how they look, or it's not something they pay a lot of attention to in others. Which is a nice thing!

I like your attitude about color analysis. I totally agree that you should wear what you like @Sooner . The reason I was curious was because I was trying to figure out why I have such a difficult time finding makeup foundations that match my complexion. Turns out, I am actually two seasons as I have elements of both Summer and Autumn. I guess it is called neutrality? Anyway, I think it explained to me that's why I can wear both warm and cool colors. The rules just went out the window.😊💐

Sooner · ‎03-10-2010

@Trinity11 I have always had a difficult time with foundations. They are either too yellow or too pink, and 90 percent of them too dark. The neutrals aren't great either. For the first time, when Trish McEvoy opened up in Dallas one of their artists looked at me and said "Your makeup is too dark for you." And it was! And sometimes my skin is redder, sometimes not.

Chantecaille just had 30 percent off and I ordered two shades. They will last me years, blend perfectly for me, and are the best for me I have found. I almost always have to modify the colors and blend as I apply.

@Sooner You might not say that if you saw me wearing black vs peach, aqua or creamy white. I've had strangers compliment me when wearing an aqua tee shirt at the gym. She said 'that's really your color' and she was right. In black I look as if I'm ill.

Not saying anyone else should care about color theory one way or the other, just that it's a real thing. A personal decision, just like wearing makeup or not or coloring gray hair or not. (and given the world we live in, I guess not of much consequence, either)
