This is so helpful! The impression about color typing is that all ____________ wear the same color. The personal color analysis is where your individuality shines!
Yes, there is no "all" in a personal Seasonal Analysis -- we look at the individual. Ditto for personality and style stereotypes -- there are certainly some commonalities in terms of what each season needs but these are much broader than many color consultants teach
This is the first video I’ve found, after years of trying to figure out seasonal color analysis, that truly makes it all make sense! This was so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your insights!
Thank you for explaining color analysis on a more personal level. My mom and I did _Color Me Beautiful_ in 1985, when I was 15, and I was categorized a spring (which seems accurate) but I've discovered that as I age I'm also drawn to the fall color pallette. I'm glad you confirmed that there can be quite a variation within pallettes.
I had my colors done in the 80’s by a woman from the International Institute of Color (Sutter St., San Francisco). Same concept and layout as yours. So the only color I need to adjust is my hair color? -Barb Antonelli
As we age our coloring sometimes softens as well a change in hair color. If it's been that long since you had a color consultation a full update may be needed.
@@joankosmachuk3955 Hi, Joan! It’s Barb. I’ll contact you thru your website. I realized that was where you make appts after I asked if you were available here.😜
Unfortunately Carol's approach to Seasonal Color Analysis was a bit oversimplified. Suzanne Caygill worked with many black men/women and she typed them all the different seasons. In my own experience, I too have seen black women and men of every seasonal typing. The same with those with brown skin, asians etc. The problem is that preset systems do not have the range of colors needed for people of color so they tend to put them all in Winter or Autumn camps -- such a disservice.
I think that comes back to the fact of saying "Spring is warm, light and bright, summer is cool, light and muted, autumn is dark, muted and warm, winter is dark, cool and intense/bright", by that anyone with a darker complexion could simply just fall into autumn or winter. But it's not as simple as that. Wouldn't color analysis be WAY easier if that really was the case? "Warm undertones? K, you're dark, k, autumn.", I don't think that's how it really works. Just an opinion from an unprofessional color enthusiast. One example: I had a friend of iranian descent and even though she had dark hair and a darker complexion, she was overall way too bright to be an autumn. Another friend of mine is a color analyst and she did her colors and that beautiful young woman happened to be a clear spring. The spring colors made her eyes pop and brighten her complexion. Autumn colors looked somewhat off on her and winter was just too dark overall. For summer she was too bright and too warm. I was with them during the process and was fascinated the entire time, especially because I could see her eyecolor "change" in various ways during that consultation. (She has wonderfully bright amber eyes that would shine in the right colors and would look rather muddy brown in the wrong colors.) Before that I had no idea springs don't have to be a blonde or ginger/redhead.
@@Just_Kirsty yes, it's not "simple" to analyze colors and one must be well trained but once you 'see it' it seems so obvious, right? We shine our brightest in the color quality that supports our inner light.
