I think we took all of them from Pinterest. Are you thinking of these ones, perhaps? www.pinterest.com/pin/243827767305512086/ sadly, Pinterest is not the best way to source things... I hope you can find something similar somewhere!

Thank you so much! It is the everyday magic of knowing your colours.

Icy and pastel colours are a very interesting topic. I will certainly address that, either in an illustrated article or a video. Great tip, thank you!

Hello fellow BW! So glad you liked it.

Fargeporten er i Fitjar, to timers kjøring sør for Bergen :-) se mer på fargeporten.no hvis du vil bestille fargeanalyse!

I am sorry you have problems with the sound. On my computer I can hear the voice well enough when I increase the volume. I am not sure how to fix this problem!

Glad you liked it! Did you see the nailpolish video?

@@JorunnHernes Yes, I did! It was great! It was so inspiring. Made me realise how, really, nails can be like an accessory and to not forget them. Also playfulness is the key! 😊

I am SO glad you found it helpful!

Yes! What many fail to mention about colour analysis Seasons is that it is not so much about how you look, but which colours make your skin look healthy and radiant! Consequently, as a Bright Winter you may not look like Snow White, but it is the Bright Winter clear, highly saturated colours that brings out the best in your skin!

Yeah! When I first discovered color analysis, I thought I was Dark Autumn, but now I believe I'm likely a Dark Winter. I used to think I was warm because years ago, I tried on this cool lilac nail polish that turned my hands green/zombielike. In hindsight, that lilac nail polish may have been from the True Summer palette. I also tried a pastel pink nail polish that didn't *quite* work either, and that was likely a Light Summer/Light Spring shade. Over the years, I've also tried and worn winter and autumn nail polish colors, and the winter shades have been the best on me. The autumn shades are decent and seem to reveal that I'm autumn-adjacent. So Dark Winter seems to the match for me!

Congratulations on dipping your toes into yellow! And yes, it can be intimidating to wear a very bright lipstick. The one thing you hsould avoid is going for a muted colour. Keep the intensity high, but add transparency instead. Something like RMS beauty tinted lip balm Peacock Lane might do the trick. It has intensity and clarity to match your Winterness but transparency to keep it light so not to scream LIPS

@@JorunnHernes I will do that. Thank you!

I loved reading this! And honestly, isn't that the truth, "shoes fit no matter what you ate last week". Thank you so much for sharing!

Greetings from Norway! What an interesting approach to finding the undertone of your skin! I have not heard of this method and I'm not really sure how accurate it would be. However, it does sound like your skin cleared up and looked more healthy next to the silver paper, so that might indicate a cooler skin tone, and that is a good start to figuring out your Season, which is best done in a personal colour analysis.

@@JorunnHernes thank you, ma'am.

Hahahaha that's so funny, and thank you for your kind words. I guess it was more blatant in real life.... I always feel I look very drab and tired in Autumn colours.

Yes, I was sad for myself, but very happy for the Light Springs!

Oh my goodness, what a joy to find out that the sunny ultra bright Bright Spring palette is yours! So definitely a Spring, but with intensity and the little bit of sharpness from the Winter influence.

Chances are, if you have not altered your hair with chemicals, the particular whiteness of your hair will harmonise in your own unique way with your skin (because they are all the same DNA and there is no human being on earth that doesn't harmonise with themselves), so wearing your Season's colours in clothes will also be right, with the silver white hair making an interesting contrast, even as a Dark Autumn. As a personal note, I find that it is even more important to wear my colours (especially my warm colours) now that my hair is silver instead of the dark brown of my younger years, because I do feel bland and drab some days, and using my "colour colours" and the darker colours helps. Try wearing your intensely rich, spicy, Dark Autumn colours instead of the lighter end of your colour palette, see if that helps!

I am so glad you found this helpful! ANd thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. ❤

I would think that classic winter refers to what we would call True Winter in the system I work in. True Winter is the true cool Winter, Bright Winter is warmed by a little bit of Spring sunshine, and dark Winter has a little smidge of Autumn glow. But make no mistake, all three are definite Winters. But if you say Classic Winter, my associations go towards True Winter.

Thank you.

Wow, thank you! That is most kind of you to say. I am so glad you found it helpful.

Interesting! I guess you could find cooler peachy coral versions of it that will harmonise with a Light Summer palette, but the original Pantone Peach Fuzz can quickly look too gummy or milky next to the clear lemonade and sorbet colours of Light Summer.

Yes it does! I'm so glad you found it useful. I actually hava a white linen shirt that I bought that has wooden buttons, which are nice but a tad too natural for my taste so I'm going to replace them with some white mother-of-pearl buttons which will harmonise better with my BW Season but still keep a bit of a "natural" feel. OR I might choose some really blingy ones. Haven't decided yet.

😂 🥰

I hope so too! This might be a year to find some winter clothing in Light Spring colours, which is always a problem for my Light Spring clients.

I'm so glad you found that comparison useful!

I totally agree! You will find some spicy version of this colour I'm sure.

Glad you enjoyed it

Totally. Such an important thing to point out. We're not all Snow White. It's all about what colours make the skin look healthy, not about the hair.

Awesome! Thank you!

Good luck!!

Oh, my! You were hoping we would spend a lot more time about all kinds of accessories for each Season, I understand, and we just picked one little tiny example for each Season. I am so sorry you feel shortchanged, but I am afraid these videos would turn into marathons if we were to devote that kind of attention on all 12 Season, and they are supposed to be little snackable KZfaq tidbits. There's lots more information on all Seasons on catelinden.com, and you can sign up for emails just about Bright Winter here: www.nordicsimplicity.com/bright-winter-community/ Thank you for bringing up the topic of "Fun bright complicated colour pairings for Bright Winters". I will certainly give that some thought!

Thank you for these words of encouragement, and how lovely to hear how you have embraced your Bright Winter colours, especially yellow, yay!

Good suggestion! I'll mention that to Cate.

I don't know what Cate's experience is in this matter, but for me, most of the Bright Winters that reach out to me are ones who are a little scared of their colours. I assume that the enthusiastic Bright Winters are out there, happily picking colours from their palette and using them. Being an enthusiastic Bright Winter doesn't seem to be much of a problem, since you can combine any and all colours from your Bright Winter palette and look fantastic! But I see your point and it is an intriguing idea to create some content for the enthusiastic Bright Winter. Is there anything specific you would be looking for in a source like that?

But it doesn't seem to work to just combine any and all colors from my Bright Winter palette. Too many brights together is overwhelming. Too many darks together is too dull. Too many icies together wash me out. Contrasting a color at the warmer end of the palette (reds, pinks, yellows) with a cooler color (blues, purples) (I haven't figured out where to fit greens in yet.) as well as having a little lighter - darker contrast mixed in seems to work best for me. But that's a lot of parts to get balanced. When I get it right, I love it. But it's complicated.

I'm a Bright Winter too, and I often wear this bright yellow. Mostly I wear it with different whites and one or two red or pink accessories along with just a small dot of black. Somehow that little black accessory makes the whole outfit come together. I do think you're right though about just combining any and all colors of our palette. You need to prioritise what colours you want to be in focus, and what should be "supporters" And in a limited number! @@user-si7dk4wn5c

Oooh that sounds fantastic! I had a chartreuse/acid yellow cardigan that I have used and used so much that now it's very worn out and ratty. I miss that cardigan. there is something so HAPPY about yellow.

I have no idea what you mean by this, but I'm interested to hear more.

Yes, the warmer end of the Soft Summer is surprisingly autumnal. And looking at some of the colours, they certainly have some relationship with some of the more muted DA colours.

@@JorunnHernes it is surprisingly autumnal feeling, even though I know it likely has a decent amount of grey to it--especailly in real life lighting.

We will to more! And thank you for your kind words, it is very encouraging.

Thank you! And yes, it is possible to express any Season in any style. Sometimes we do pin a certain style on each Season, and it makes it hard to think out of that box.

Thank you for that comment, yes, lumping the three sub seasons together in one video makes for interesting observations.

Patience, my little possum. The Winter edition will come 😂 Glad you liked it, and start counting down to the Winter accessories video!

Yes, the fact that icy lights and pastel lights are not the same is not widely known, and before I became a colour analyst and started studying these things, I used to not know what difference it makes to be aware of this.

Absolutely! As long as the taupe is cool enough, it is a great neutral for any Winter.
