So

me too! im a true autumn leaning deep, and im in love with the spring pallet, and pastels, autumn just doesn't suit my style at all.

Whoa, me too! True autumn who doesn't like earth colors. I always choose the peach one

Same! I’m a soft autumn and I lean towards warm pastels, closer to the spring palette. My favorites to wear are sage green, teal, sky blue, buttercream yellow, peach, and rose. Colors like mustard, orange, aubergine, and warm green aren’t necessarily bad colors on me but I associate them with being dated and tacky and it’s hard for me to enjoy wearing them

I think there are light hues and dark shades that fit into each palette, though. Like, a warm peach can be a light hue that is still true to your palette, even if it is a pastel. As an example, I think I'm a dark autumn (but I prioritize more the dark aspect, rather than the warmth), which means I can accommodate the rich, vibrant tones of a dark winter into my palette pretty much as well as I can the rusty, muted tones. As a result, I tend to wear a lot of burgundy, navy blue, mustard yellow, and forest green. Any color value can fit into any color season. Whether a particular variant of a color fits into your palette depends on the undertone, saturation, and chroma.

I’m a dark autumn too and I’ve just recently found the perfect shade of pink for my skin tone which is not coral or salmon. It’s called “twilight rose” from lululemon. I bought a scuba hoodie in that colour once and it’s just gorgeous on me! On the lookout for more of that same colour now!

Try a chrysanthemum pink😊.

This is so relatable, as a true winter, I'm kinda embracing the villain colours 😅

Same! Everytime I try to mix purple and green I can help but to think about Maleficient 😅 but little by little I'm learning to embrace it. And now I can't wait to wear a fuchsia barbie core inspired outfit 😊

The disney villain reference lol 😭 despite being a dark winter I'm convinced more than half of my wardrobes are soft summer/autumn. I feel so sorry for the hours I spent over-analysing my season only for it to become a side option though 😭

Haha your comment made me love the fact I’m a dark winter even more! I love that you associate it with Disney Villains 😅

I was originally typed dark autumn (darn you brown skin) but am actually cool olive undertone and when draped, dark winter is obvious. I love a good deep periwinkle with a bit of gray or a steel blue. I will avoid mid colors with too much white (stonewashed cotton for example) and instead opt for lighter colors with gray added or darker colors with only black in them. Keeps me from looking too much like a villain or goth.

Same, I live for more ‘dusty’ colors, but I get the most compliments in jewel tones, even though I don’t like them nearly as much. At least I love my body type lol.

I think we have a 'concept' of what black is and isn't appropriate for in English influenced western society that French/Continental European realms don't. Like black being very intense, coming on quite strong, aggressive, something of the night ,which is then associated with power suits,dates, evening concerts, but is reserved for shadows rather than worn in broad daylight except for work purposes where aggressive is appropriate. It's also difficult to keep light reflective things from showing up on it, like dust,hair,fuzz. It looks dramatic with lots of beads. I personally like velvet or velour as a softer version of blacks that's still polished. I love navy and grey best as well.

@@ingridpear1882. You just touched on why I don’t even try to wear the dark colors in my Light Spring palette. I have a white cat! If I was a Winter, I would have to invest a lot in plastic outfit protectors and change, before leaving the house! He’s a longhair, too, my cat. Of course, there was no thinking involved. He was a shelter cat and I just fell in love. He’s probably better for my wardrobe than a gray or black cat, but orange would have been more harmonious…like a marmalade. 😂

Grey and navy look amazing on winter. 😊 Isn't it even in winter palet?

Lol yes

No that is super helpful thank you!!! I will go and fix that!

Will we receive an updated version? Also is dusky an error under bright spring? LOVING going through it all so pretty

I’ve been wondering about this too! I’m (probably) a winter, and this year wanted to embrace the different seasons in my clothing choices but wasn’t sure how to go about that either… This video was actually really helpful for that though, like I would say the Earth style root has similarities to Autumn, going by the colour examples Ellie used, so I’m going to use those recommendations! Maybe other style roots can be related to the seasons too, like Fire and Moon seem like winter to me and maybe Flower could be summer/spring?

Yeah I have the opposite problem where I’m an autumn and I’m struggling to wear flattering colors right now in the spring. It also doesn’t help that sun is one of my style roots so I want to wear brighter colors

I'd love a video like that. I'm a dark autumn, but love the soft summer beach look that in no way I can copy paste, it's so different of my best colours. I really like the 'washed out' colours/surfer look, and tend to dislike the deep colours of my season. It is possible (like I have to find 'lighter' blues with more grey hues, which for me is more a denim blue/gray blue) but it's pretty difficult. I know I'll never really can wear those colours the same, but I'd like to try :D

Yes I would like to see that, too. As a romantic body type with mushroom, flower and earth characteristics, I am usually lost in the summer! I cannot put a beach outfit together as I always prefer to dress in deep, strong colours and heavy fabrics.

Also Springs and autumns naturally can get away with wearing each others colours a lot easier since both are warm.

Same. I'm not a fan of those strong winter colors, but I'm glad there is icy colors in our palette as well.. because i love them

We have the same style roots!!

@@maddiemae73 wow that's so cool! I love fun and bright patterns with simple lines and silhouettes to balance out the look. I mostly recur to the Y2K aesthetic a lot due to this. What's your look?

@@maddiemae73 another one here :) I feel like my sun root is the least of the three tho- like my bright colors are largely limited to my t-shirts and everything else is way more flower or mushroom.

@@revaconescu6120 yeah me too. I usually only like bright colors and fun details on one item of clothing. Even then it’s usually a bright pastel. I try not to do too much since I’m a soft classic, have classic essence in my mix, and I’m a soft autumn. So I can’t do too much

@@maddiemae73 i'm not entirely sure what my color season is- pretty sure i'm one of the autumns, but i agree that rly bright colors don't usually work on me. I also know i'm a kibbe romantic and i definitely have some ingenue essence and probably some classic and gamine too- altho I haven't delved too much into those..

I think wearing makeup can help if done right. You can make yourself look a bit warmer or cooler toned with makeup. It's not going to be the most naturally flattering thing but you can neutralise the negative affect.

I’ve heard you can wear a necklace near your face like gold silver or pearls that complement you’re skin tone

light blue denim jeans/dungarees with a relaxed fit and maybe rips? pastel coloured chunky knitwear. linen screams earth to me and often comes in light colours. maybe try a more cool toned beige since you’re a summer or you can go for pastels. if you want to honour your other style roots, you can always elevate linen e.g pairing a linen shirt with tailored trousers. light grey suede boots are a perfect combination of summer (colour), earth (boots) and your other more polished style roots e.g mushroom (suede).

You guuuurl! I think you just described my style roots. I’m a deep autum as well, I do feel this is my vibe, I’m also a soft classic so I kinda have to look proper. You know what’s been my favorite combo lately? Sleek bun, small hoop earings, graphic T tucked in or tied in a knot, middi skirt with nice clean sneakers. The T’s I’ve found are either cream or a warm black, so I kinda feel it brings it all together. (I have no one else to talk about this in my circle so I’m happy that if you ever read this I’ve shared some of this topic with someone that gets it 😅)

Hi, I appreciate you sharing your experience. Keep in mind that I've gotten into color seasons, kibble body types/body IDs, etc within the last few months so I'm not the most informed person on the topics. However, I do have a few things I think you should note. For starters, as Ellie has expressed, despite black not being in her color season, she continues to have those pieces and wear them. Meaning it may be possible to incorporate the mustard and rust colored pieces you mentioned. Factors like whether they're close to your face, what other items you pair them with, if they're the centerpiece of the outfit, pairing them with similar colors that are in your palette, etc do make a difference. Another thing to point out is while the recommendations can say that those kinds of colors can make you look sick, they just might dull you or not make you shine in particular. Sometimes, colors out of your season don't necessarily make you look "bad". If you like an article of clothing based on the fit, style, uniqueness, or some other quality but feel like it just wouldn't work because of your color season, have you considered fabric dying? You likely will have to do research on it of course, but it could be a way to use those same items. And just as a reminder, at the end of the day, these style systems can serve as guidelines rather than feel like strict rules. Going back to another thing Ellie mentioned, another aspect of style is creating an effect. And as we know, color can absolutely create an effect. This obviously does need to be more strategic, but when you're able to go a bit against these systems, it can appear more edgy, dramatic, give off a more "careless" feel, among others. If you chose to follow your color season more closely, that's fine as well. Just wanted to let you know. I hope this provides something different for you to think about, and again, thank you for taking the time to share this.

Hey, you know, sometimes people are wrong. Even professional color analysts have typed people incorrectly. I've certainly had a lot of folks tell me different versions of "this is what you are" that just didn't resonate with me, and I decided to let their advice go. Honestly, I feel like there is something awry if there is such an incongruence between what feels good to you and what "technically" looks good on you. If you are not seeing what they are seeing, maybe that person actually got your color season wrong. But the thing is, even if they got it right, even if your skin does indeed have cool and vibrant undertones, the color analysis thing, like you said, is supposed to be fun and interesting. Not take your joy away. You aren't just a color season, you're a whole person. And on top of that, color theory -the way colors interact with each other, is really not about "these combinations are good and those ones are bad." (I'm a visual artist and have studied color theory). When colors are juxtaposed, they bring out different things in one another. It is a shame to reduce these interactions to a judgement of good and bad. It's also like music theory. If you had to write a song that starts with a particular chord (that chord is you), you could go up the major scale from there, like they do in "doh a deer" and pick out a few other chords in that scale and write a very nice song. But a lot of the most beautiful songs ever written do not follow that logic. They use different kinds of scales. They have dissonant chords. Anyway, wear the dam pumpkin.

I'm dark autumn and do the same thing! I stay away from yellow/oranges and absolutely love antique and peachy pinks. I think we can just pull them off if like you said there is some other warm/muted color mixed in them

@@cora5525 i'm a soft autumn but same here! no yellow or orange (except for the occasional super burnt orange), but i really love how i look in a dusty or peachy pink. i don't think you've got anything to worry about!
