Person #32 - A Cool Summer

Undertone test

Person #32 is quite cool, their slight rosy skin tone matching the lower row well. They are quite soft and would benefit from more grey, cool tones. We are most likely looking at a summer season.

Season test

 Predominantly cool, we are comparing summer and winter. 

 

True Summer


True Winter

True Summer is quite a good match. The cool, smokey tones compliments the skin instead of dominating or changing it. We do notice however, that the lighter tones don't supply the needed value-contrast for the skin. In the blue end of the True Winter colors, column 3, we see how extra depth frames the skin nicely - But to an excessive degree. This person has a slight flow from summer into winter, aka they are a Cool Summer. Person #32 might lean more towards True Summer than True Winter, but definitely benefits from a little extra depth and coolness:

 Their sister season is the Cool Winter palette - A deeper and more saturated cool palette:

Their worst colors 

Opposite to cool, we have warm, and opposite to soft, we have bright. The Warm Spring palette seems aggressive and heavy on person #32. The saturation separates them from the underlying colors.  Warm Autumn is less saturated, but here the softness and warmth shades the skin and enhances the yellow tones in a non-flattering way.

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 ...

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, in Wa...
