Person #29 - A True Spring

Undertone


Person #29 is at home in the saturated mid-tones of 2nd column. The lighter tones of 3d column work as well, except they lack saturation. Their skin-tone benefits from the warmth of the orange, but the clarity of their skin enables them to wear the cooler pinks as well, which is typical for a spring. 
 
Season test

We are looking for light to medium-deep colors, and will compare spring vs summer.
  

True Spring

 
 

True Summer

 

Person #29 looks healthy and radiant in the True Spring colors, whereas the soft, cool tones of Summer cast a grey shadow on their skin. We might have a True Spring at our hands; To be sure, we need to check for potential flows: 

 

Warm Spring

 

Light Spring

 

Bright Spring

Warm Spring is too deep and soft, rendering the skin dark and muddled. Light Spring is too cool and soft, the warmth of the skin tone is turned down (especially the colors of the first 2 columns). Bright spring is too cool and overly saturated, but #29 might benefit from a slight increase in saturation from the 16-season True Spring in the summer, as long as they keep the colors warm. 

Zara Larsson is a great inspiration for Springs. She mixes both warm and cool, mid-range, saturated colors. Underneath, I have sampled a custom palette of her outfits:

The pinks and turquoise are on the cooler side, slightly darkening and greying person #19's skin, but a True Spring can pull off a lot of colors outside their palette, as long as they are light to medium in tone and saturated. 

Their worst colors 

Some colors do not suit a True Spring, namely deep, muted and cool colors. These drain springs of color and radiance.

Person #1 - A Deep Winter

Undertone test This person has a quite neutral skin tone. Though the cool row at the bottom is best at bringing out the skin in a flattering manner, the two pinks are a bit too harsh. Oppositely, the deep brown in the top left is quite good.  Deep colors seem to be their best.   Season test Neutral and deep, we are looking at winter  vs.  autumn  seasons . I start out with a 16 palette system .    True Winter   True Autumn The winter palette is closer in skin tone (cool-neutral) than the autumn palette. In the autumn palette, the rosy undertone is very evident, and is not reflected in the underlying warmth (yellow, green and red especially). Still, the winter palette is too harsh. This person has a flow  and is a Deep Winter :   Deep Winter    Their sister season  is Deep Autumn:   Deep Autumn    Their worst colors Their worst colors are described by the inverting the characteristics of  deep , clear ...

Person #26 - A Deep, Cool Summer

Undertone test  Person #26   has a cool , beige and rosy skin tone and looks great in the medium-deep , cool colors of the bottom row. Though they are muted , they can handle a decent amount of saturation.  Season test Suspecting a cool summer, I am comparing summer and winter colors .   True Summer     True Winter     True Summer is a better fit than True Winter, but the depth and coolness of True Winter blue and purple gives a nice contrast to #26's skin tone. Person #26 is indeed a  Cool Summer :     Cool Summer   Their sister season in the 16-season system is Cool Winter:    Cool Winter   I notice that person #26 primarily benefits from the depth of winter, so I have adjusted the Cool Summer palette into a deeper version that brings out their best qualities:    Deep, Cool Summer (custom)     Their worst colors Being muted, cool and deep, the bright and warmer colors of Bright Spring c...

Person #3 - A True Autumn

Image
Undertone test  Person #3 is very warm. They glow in the warm colors of the upper row, whereas the blue tones of the lower row almost make their skin seem greasy. Especially brown and orange suits this person well, indicating medium to deep colors are the best. They look like an autumn, but to sure, we put them in both autumn and spring colors. Season test We put person #3 in 16-season True Autumn vs. True Spring .   True Autumn   True Spring      This person absolutely rocks True Autumn colors, whereas they seem muted and slightly grey in the brighter and lighter spring palette. We could conclude the analysis here, but to be sure, we also take a look at Deep Autumn and Warm Autumn, to see if there is any indication of  flow : Deep Autumn   Warm Autumn      Increasing depth and coolness or warmth and lightness does not improve anything. In Deep Winter colors, the skin tone floats and the undertone is not reflected in the background...
