If any of you want to dive more into the world of colour with me, I'd love to have you in my online colour analysis training: www.fashiontranslated.com/online-colour-analysis-training

If black is not in your palette and you feel you need to wear it for social reasons, i.e. funerals, etc., just go with the deepest color in your palette. It will still look appropriate yet flattering.

THANK YOU !!! I'm tired of hearing that we should ALL have a LBD and a WHITE BLOUSE. I look horrid in both colors

My mind and eyes just don't see what other people see because when Christie holds up the winter palette, I think she looks really great with those colors next to her skin. I also can look at a color and I am POSITIVE it's a cool (blue~toned color) but I find out it's a warm color! I get so frustrated at myself; I doubt I'll ever find the colors right for me.

As someone who had her color analysis about 5 years ago, it is such a game changer. I am a WINTER, so i can wear black, but this comment is not about that. It is about getting your colors analyzed. Such a powerful tool and amazing. I love walking into a store, scanning and knowing right away that my “colors” are there or not! . Highly recommend color analysis. Just makes you feel so good!!!

Not me, wearing all black watching this! 🤣

I think as a Teenager i gravitated towards purple because I looked good in it, my eyes looked really striking and my skin healthier. I instinctively just chose purple when buying new clothes because I knew it suited me. But then people started commenting, calling me "purple girl" and asking if I wore any other colour. Of course this really knocked my confidence and I didn't wear purple again for years, which is a shame as I really do look good in it. I'm trying to slowly bring it back into my wardrobe now that I'm in my 40's as it is much softer and more flattering than black or grey. But that feeling is still there!

I struggled with my colors for years. I colored my hair a deep blackish brown and got a ton of compliments on my hair. Was draped multiple times and for some odd reason I was always at odds with it. Until I realized what I was really looking at in the mirror. Now I am finally feeling at peace in my summer colors. And I’ve gotten rid of 90% of the black in my closet. I am so happy now with my clothes and how I feel in them. Lit up like a Christmas tree in my soft cool hues!

Finally!! A stylist who doesn’t push a black wardrobe! I do not have one clothing item in black in my closet. I use navy and grey as my neutrals and lots of beautiful tones. I discovered DYT which has helped me dress in my colors and style. The right colors on a person is a game changer!

When I wear black, I look at least 10 years older. Black dress looks very heavy on me. Navy is my black, I feel good in navy.

Clicked this so fast! I recently determined I'm a soft autumn and realized that all the bright white and rich black that I wear has been completely working against me and this confirms entirely.

I live in nyc and have worn so much black. It was not until I was teaching remotely because of the pandemic that I realized that black was not for me. Looking at myself in zoom meetings forced me bring in more color. Now, my closet is filled with warm prints. I now love getting dressed and wear black sparingly. I never thought that I would ever give up black.

I love it that we need to change our point of view regarding style. Thank you Christie

This is the best colour explanation I have ever encountered…Thank you so much

Hi Christie! I’m also a true Spring Color Palette. I enjoy wearing all of those beautiful vibrant, warm tones like you do! Having this information has really helped me to stay focused in selecting makeup and clothing which compliments me. Having this knowledge keeps you from wasting money and time! I really enjoy your channel! Xoxo 😘 Deborah

This is perfect - no hideous music- thank you Christie.👌🏼❤️🐨🇦🇺

I agree with you 💯 Your videos are so helpful 👍🏼 Please keep them coming ❤️

The BEST video I've seen on colours! Thank you so much 👏

I've never liked black (or solid white, for that matter). I prefer clear browns, navy and beige for pants, skirts and jackets. I own the old "Color Me Beautiful" book and know I'm a warm spring and look best in those colors. Trouble is, it's always been harder to find those colors, though I've found well-made clothing, shoes and purses in thrift stores over the years that I've hung onto. I don't care all that much about trendy styles at my age (near 70). I definitely get compliments when I wear coral or peach lipsticks. And it never seems to fail that when I wear the right color scarf, I get compliments. The dark cool colors up around my face bring out lines and circles, and I look unhealthy. I'm happiest when I keep things simple. I like to get out there and look but really don't buy much of anything anymore.

Love, love Black and White and even off white ( I am a winter!!) jewel tones on occasion, my go to colors are black in the winter and white in the summer. Definitely no prints with wild colors. You look great Christie. Cheers

Knew the answer before clicking. I look terrible in blank. Navy blue is my go to color instead.

you explained this so well! thank you so much!

Love seeing you here❣️

Dear Christie, you are a beautiful person in all aspects. And i think you definitely deserve a lot more subscribers and likes! Brilliant vlogs....

This is a great video! So much useful information!

Thank you for this video. I never did like the color black, I will only wear it to look older and more mature. I had a very hard time coming up with a capsule wardrobe because most of the samples I see are mostly black or white (so boring.) so I picked 3 colors I actually like and made my capsule out of that.

I missed your videos so much! Thanks for the info!

I gave up wearing black a few years ago when I saw some photos of myself wearing it, and I looked 20 years older at least...however, I have one pair of black shoes, far enough away from my face, I figure! :)

This video is so interesting! I have noticed that as women get older (that's me), black tends to accentuate darkness under the eyes, the sagging areas around the mouth, and hollowness in the cheeks. My cousin says, "Black is classy, and anyone can wear it." I disagree.

Such a helpful video. Great and original content!

❤️❤️❤️Wow, these are awesome tips! 😁👌🏻🌺Thank you.

Terrific video Christie! Now I can see why black doesn't work for me! I have been trying to incorporate new colors into my wardrobr slowly but I have soooo much black it will take a loing time!

I had my colours done years ago and I'm an autumn. It's all true. I witnessed it done on other clients. I wear black with a suitable colour near my face.

Invaluable, thank you!!!

I am a true winter,fortunately,but even so,a duller/browner black does not flatter me as well as a clearer black.It is sometimes hard to see the black tone on- line. Always enjoy your videos!!

I’m blessed because I’m a Winter and I look great in black. My favorite colors are jewel tones.

Love wearing black. I feel powerful. And confident!

I'm a spring and it was life changing to have my colors done (back in the O.G. "Color Me Beautiful" days) and realize that black does NOT look good near my face. It's supposed to be such a basic. Sorry, I'm looking for the Little Gray, Brown, or Navy Dress!

I know I look great in black but I still wanna watch this cause the thumbnail is cute Also, great voice and pacing cause I just stayed and watch and truly enjoyed the video 🥰

Wow, I came here randomly, and the moment I saw you I wanted to ask did you have professional color analysis. What a mistake, I should have guessed right away that you are a professional. Great job, your look represents your work in the best possible way!

As a True Warm Spring like you I totally get it and I thank you for this great video. As a guy, before I had my colors done I had a ton of black t-shirts yet I realised that navy t-shirts looked better on me or a warm brown for example. Can you do a video on what are the 'better than black' colors for other seasons?

Green, purple, light blue are forever my favorite colors. But this year I also experienced sudden draw to orange, more like bright apricot. Never used to like that color. And now I am sooo into it! Actually I used to think I am soft summer until one day my eyes opened and I realized I'm a spring. 😂 Spring has always been my favorite season. Even in nature.

I have never liked black and didn't wear it much until I started working. Then I had my colors done years ago and found out that even though I am cool, black doesn't work for me. In a work wardrobe, its difficult to not wear black. So I will only wear black pants and then tops in my colors.

I’m a warm spring I just remember growing up I would love to wear dark brown instead of black and I got so may compliment but when I dyed my hair black women and men would tell me that color was to hard for me. Great video

Black is so classic and elegant 🖤

♡ Interesting!

Loved it. Please do one for white as well.

When you wear the right colours you immediately look healthier

What if your color palate doesn’t match your personality. I think I’m a spring but winter and autumn colors are much better at fitting my personality and style.

I’m a cool summer and love black but mix it with a taupe or beige. My hair is a light ash brown with champagne highlights. My eyes are blue green. My skin is very fair, cool porcelain. In the summer however, I wear navy instead because the strong sunlight here in the South will wash me out if I wear black.

I'm a natural dark blonde with dark blue/gray/green eyes with a fair skin but because of my Native American ancestry I can't tell if I'm olive (cool undertone with a warm overtone), warm, or neutral - definitely not straight up cool toned cause I look sickly in cool toned makeup. I can get a decent warm tan when I'm in the sun a lot. I wear black all the time and love how it looks on me - friends have told me that I look great in it too. I've also been able to wear both cool and warm colors and look great in them so I don't really know what my undertone or palette is lol. Jewel tones definitely wash me out but somehow black works. I tend to gravitate towards warm tones and neutrals. Bright and pastel colors as well as stark white wash me out too. I'm so confused haha I feel like a paradox- help!

Thank you, Christie. I used to wear a lot of black but not any more. I find that black drains my face of colour. There are so many beautiful colours out there that you can wear instead. Life is too short to wear black every day.

I got a professional analysis and payed a lot of money, but at the end I'm still not sure what suits me 🤷‍♀️😱😥. She said: "You are a deep autumn/fall or a winter. Wear vibrant colors." Thanks for nothing 🙄. So I try to make my own mind and I have to say this video is THE best. Thank you so much!!! Love from Germany, Sabine 😘

Love this. Totally random question since we are about to do our closet. Do your shoes get dusty with the shelves?

I think a way to wear black is to opt for shine (like satin), it will be a bit better, than matte. Scarves can help to add the ideal colours next to the face and to counteract certain neutrals (that are less than ideal, but often they are expensive or well fitting costumes / suits). Or a wide neckline. So the face is framed by hair (that is a hopefully a good match to the type) and the skin tone.

Interesting knowledge, I rarely wear black, I wore a black top to work the other day with no make up at all because I was very moody.. surprisingly, everyone suddenly compliment how great I look in black, they told me my eyes popped and complexion looks brighter.. not the kind of response I expected to get when I was not in great mood.. they told me i should have wear more black.. Maybe i am a winter....

In the winter in Canada all i see in the stores is mostly black grey and white. I actually feel sad when winter season arrives as all my favourite colours are hard to find. I have been looking for a coat for years and for the life of me can’t find one in my colours. So my coats are black and grey as it’s what’s available not what I want to wear. I am a bright summer.

You always look beautiful. Please could you share your lipstick shade? X

I am not sure about Cher, because her hair looks harsh and unnatural, but I agree that black works on her with her hair as it is... I'm transitioning to gray right now, so I'm noticing lots of dye. Also!!! I'm noticing what a difference my hair makes in what colors suit me. I have a little bit less contrast between my hair and skin, plus of course my hair is more neutral (I don't think it's cool, but definitely cooler than my brassy dyed hair). Anyway, I'm enjoying trying to figure out my new coloring!

I know it doesn't flatter me but it's so hard funding clothes I like in colours that suit me I end up wearing black because it's available and matches easily. I don't live near many clothes shops and buying on line is a waste of money on delivery and return as colours are rarely as seen on screen, and sizing and measurements rarely accurate.

I’m 5’10, blonde hair, green eyes. I love black on me!

Think I am in the cool family - blue eyes with ashy brown hair but the one thing I have figured out - no matter what season I am medium denim is by far my best color. I finally purchased two summer weight shirts in medium denim.

I'm a light Summer, and black ages me now. I wore it when I was younger, but now it looks awful on me...WAY too overpowering. I guess it always has been, it just didn't bother me back then. Now I wear Denim blue, medium toned browns or grays. I don't usually wear dark colors since the contrast is just too much, even Navy or Chocolate can look a bit dark on me. Thankfully I'm a neutral undertone, so I can wear cool and warm tones, with light to medium value intensity really work better, especially now that I'm getting older. You're Right! Wearing flattering colors really makes your style pop, and adds sophistication too. It really makes a big difference!!

My first introduction to color palettes that match your skin was in the ‘60’s when the book Color Me Beautiful was published. It helped me tremendously! In time I came to believe that ex. While orange looked terrible on me I could wear light peach if it tended more toward pink than orange. I am glad to find that you talk about more than the basic 4 seasons! More for me to explore! I am now 72 with white hair. I do think I look better in some jewel tones than I did when my hair was medium brown. Perhaps I have always had a palette a little off from the summer I always tended toward! I’m still learning!

I noticed the opposite with the hair thing. I tried warm yellow against a cool clear blue. My face went white and hair ashy with yellow, but my face gained colour my hair went to rich brown with the blue. This is by taking photos so I allow for it being the camera phone.

I'm a bright Spring and generally hate wearing black. I feel it ages my face. But so many of the clothes in the shops around me are black, grey, murky terracotta and murky, dusty links and sage. It's winter here in Australia right now and I can't stand those drab colours on me.

I definitely can wear black but it needs to be true black on a more fluffy fabric (so that even more light gets absorbed) and not washed out or brownish black. Pure white on a non transparent fabric without a touch of yellow/creme is also great but difficult to find and difficult to keep. But according to color theory this is impossible because my hair color is too warm and not dark enough.

Thanks a alot for this video. What about white? White is also very confusing for me. I'm blond and a bit scared of off white or beige because I look a bit pale in it.

Im 99% sure im a winter, all the cool jewel tones and white look amazing on me but sometimes i feel black looks a bit harsh on me 🤷

You look great BTW

I’m a Winter and black looks amazing on me. My sister is a Spring and black really ages her and looks so draining.

I discovered colour analysis last month and found it very interesting so I bought a online analysis since the in person had too long waiting list. And they told me I am a true autumn, I was a bit disappointed as I live in black but start buying some of the clothes in that colour palette. Then yesterday I had a in person consultation although I was wearing BB cream on my face and there was no natural light (a company was doing free in store consultation in a famous shop brand to promote both the consultations and the new collection I guess), and they told me I was winter 😩🤣in a way I was happy as I was hoping for that colour palette in another way now what? What’s the truth? 😖🤯

Jewel toned blacks work very well with me, and I’m a winter. But matte black is harsh on me. Black is not that easy!

I can only wear black if I wear makeup, black mascara and blush. I have fair skin, blonde hair and lashes/brows etc. Not much contrast although I do have dark blue eyes.

I was told my worst colors were cool/light aka the summer season… i was typed as a dark autumn but dark & especially muted colors make me look dead. I have a terrible time with creams,nudes, tans… yellows pretty much ALL autumn colors except the more cool colors. Still most of my life I thought I was warm toned but I’m olive… I did the gold/silver fabric test silver was definitely better … at first I thought the gold was cuz I looked VERY GOLD 😅 but then I noticed my teeth and eyes were also really yellow and with the silver they were bright and white. Then I tried a bright silver necklace and a gold necklace with all of my shirts and with the silver necklace almost everything looked stunning even my brown tops. So I definitely think I’m cool undertone… but I have always loved gold hoops. So I think I can wear gold buts silver is better. Also, while I can wear black I am not totally convinced it’s one of my best colors. Winter colors seem to be better but still feel like I’m struggling. The only season left is spring but it’s a warm season 😏 …. Maybe I am just not meant to wear clothes😂😂😂

i surely have a neutral undertone and i have no idea what my season or color pallet is. sounds weird but every color i have ever put on looked good on me😭 white or beige makes literally no difference. if i wear smth clearly cool/worn i just blend in and look as if i am a true winter or autumn

I love deep dark color like black and navy and burgundy, too bad that's not in my hue. 😢

That’s a flat out no! Before even knowing about colors I always liked how black looked on me and I could never put my finger on why any shade of brown just didn’t work at all. What’s your take on Color Me Beautiful?

Is it the same case for white then? I’m also a warm spring and see that swapping whites for cream or warmer whites much more flattering!

Will one's color analysis change as we age? I've lightened my almost black hair as I've aged because it just seemed too harsh against my skin (which used to be very fair but is now light-medium). I feel the colors I used to look good in aren't a good match anymore. I can't figure out if I'm warm or cool. Is it possible to be neutral?

I have blonde hair and brown eyes naturally and I feel like I don't fit in any of the seasons because of it. I'm pretty sure that I'm neutral but in that case I wouldn't fit in to seasonal color analysis at all. I'm between soft Autumn and soft summer.

Honestly, I thought I was the only one who looked washed out in black.

I don't like black on me. I will wear navy though. I like lighter colors. Orange red light blue. I love white on me. Makes me look more tan.

Me, who recently figured out that I’m a true spring, watching this while wearing black and a red lip. 😳😅

Hi, this is interesting, I’m a spring that gets completed on wearing black. There is no black on the swatches I got from you. I’m wondering if I can wear ?

Black looks awful on me unless I have a colorful scarf near my face.

Imagine a victorian gothic lady watching this video until the end😅. 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

Every time I wear black I'm asked if I'm going on a date or somewhere special because I look good 😂

I am a warm spring and no. Black doesn't flatter me.

Black clothes are almost impossible to do without, bc a lot of basic items are available in black, and no other color, or almost no other color. I just do my best to keep black from the area around my face. I always say: Black is not a good colour for when you are sad, tired or sick, not even if it usually looks good on you.

Are your skin neautral or warm? People tell me i am neautral, but neautral foundation looks grey-ish on me. I am very fair.

how do you get your clothes done by you?

With the Winter Color Drapes, your head seems to float above the drape. With your correct Spring colors, it's like the sun came out!

I'm not the type to wear makeup and I've never been into fashion (T-shirts and jeans have always been my clothes of choice) and shopping has always caused me anxiety because I've never felt good in clothes. I've been trying to learn about finding clothes for your right body type and skin color/undertones and it is so overwhelming.

I respectful disagree, black is not a color you wear to stay home, it's an elegant, going out kind of color. I have fair skin, and strawberry blond hair, and I love the way black looks on me. Yes, I do wear makeup most of the time anyway.

No
