I think there are other factors when we look at the pictures.  Many are photo shopped to remove discolorations.  Makeup artists can use colors under makeup to compensate, and they would because they want you to buy that item being shown.

I've draped several hundred complexion.  When you're seeing it done, the results are undeniable.   

Here is winter's palette.  

This is Autumn's palette.  The jacket has undertones which slide right in here.

Let's just say I don't subscribe to the concept. I am fairly neutral and can wear most colors. I have friends who believe a lot of rules in the fashion industry don't always apply. The entire Color Me Beautiful concept now has subdivisions completely contradicting the original message. 

It's basically a trap when women allow themselves to stop wearing something because some "rule" tells them they should not. The concept is outdated and I agree to disagree @ECBG .

Please allow me to clear a few concepts up.

First, there are no "rules" for dressing.  A person should wear what makes them feel beautiful. 

Second, The "proof is in the pudding" when it comes to skin undertones.  Put an olive complection in yellow based foundation and the visual us undeniable.

Even the designer Justine Leconte, graduate of Parsons with Tim Gunn has a blog on skin tone.  She recognizes

undertones and also works with neutrals which I have not seen draped in real time.

Since Color Me Beautiful is a rule based concept, than your statement, "Wear what makes you feel beautiful" completely refutes the entire idea that a Winter cannot wear Autumn colors @ECBG 

Like I said, I agree to disagree. For every die hard believer in the rules surrounding color theory and analysis, there are equally famous designers and experts who disagree.

Designers don't discuss color and skin undertones.  They want you to buy that dress.  They generally chose colors with wide appeal.

The sale pays their rent.  They won't tell you not to buy it.

When they create for a client, they do match unless there was a color request.
