Person #7 - A Bright Spring

 Undertone test


This person is very interesting, and I must say I have run over these squares quite a few times. There is slightly more intensity and definition in the upper row than the bottom, so warm is better than cool overall, but the difference is slight. Additionally, this person is quite clear and shines in both pink and orange, so we are looking at a palette that is neutral-warm, clear and mid-range.

 

Season test 

Neutral and bright, we are looking at spring vs. winter seasons.  

 True Spring 


True Winter

 
 
The 16-season True Spring matches the best in depth and undertone, whereas the brightness of True Winter brings out the needed contrast for the skin not to appear muted.  This person is a flow-season, more specifically Bright Spring:
 
Bright Spring 
 
  
 
Person #7 rocks colors that most people find very hard to wear. Their sister season is Bright Winter:
 
Bright Winter 
 

Both palettes have the power needed to contrast this person's skin, but the additional yellow of the Bright Spring adds an intensity to the skin tone that isn't found in the Bright Winter palette. In this case, harmony is contrast.
 
Their worst colors 
 
Inverting neutral-warm and bright, we get neutral-cool and muted, such as Light Summer.  In this palette, person #7 is both disjoint from the background color and washed out:

Person #1 - A Deep Winter

Image
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

Image
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...
