Person #5 - A Warm Spring

 Undertone test


Person #5 has obvious warmth and clarity. They shine in the warmth of the upper row, and in the saturation of the middle column. This is a strong indicator of a spring, with possible flow towards autumn. 

Season test

Since the primary characteristic here is the warmth, we consider True Spring and True Autumn:

True Autumn

We notice that though Spring is a favorite in terms of depth and clarity, the bright light blue of the upper right corner of the True Spring palette is a bit too saturated. Person #5 might have a slight flow towards the more muted tones of autumn, though actual autumn palettes are too muted and dark. Person #5 stuns in Warm Spring colors:

 

Warm Spring 

 

Their sister season is Warm Autumn:

Their worst colors 

Opposite of warm, bright and light-to-midtone is cool, muted and deep. Such a palette doesn't exist in the 16-season system, but it would be akin to a custom Soft Winter or Deep Summer as seen underneath:

 

Deep Summer (custom) 

 

As with person #3 who is a True Autumn, overly cool colors on a warm person can drain them and make their skin appear tired or greasy. Above the golden hue of the skin is completely lost on the background color, and the skin appears to be floating on top of the background.

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...
