NOTE: In the survey, Team Theorist shifted the backgrounds to also reflect the color season in order to create a full color palette. Each background is consistent for each sub category.
We have BIG news, Loyal Theorist! We conducted the world’s LARGEST color analysis in history just so we could prove the internet wrong. If you’ve explored the fashion and style vertical at all on RU-vid, Instagram, or TikTok, then you’ve likely seen the thousands of color season tests. (Btw, are you a winter, summer, autumn, or spring?) But how LEGIT are these color analyses? And do they REALLY affect how others see you? Let’s find out…

@venus-pq5gg 11 месяцев назад

that would skew the data. the point of the background color changing is to see if the preferred color is determined by the “seasonal style” or the background color. It’s not an extraneous variable, it is the same as introducing a placebo into a pharmaceutical study, to see if the psychological aspect is carrying the self reported effect of the drug. If the appeal was mostly correlated with the background, and has little correlation with style, it would bury the idea of seasonal style. Instead what happened is they found that neither had a strong effect. They determined that it all came down to personal preferences.

@FurvaNoctua 11 месяцев назад

I'm really curious about why you guys chose to change the background colours of the photos. As colours are viewed in combination with the colours around them, they play a big part, and I noticed some of the background colours sometimes made the subjects in their correct seasons look washed out, where it probably wouldn't have been the case if it was kept the same as the wrong season. From everything I know about art, I'd think a completely neutral grey for all backgrounds would be the best way to test the colours on the subjects. Many professional artists use grey-ish neutral background when creating character design and concept art for the exact that it gives the best idea of how the colours work together on their own without any interference of colours around their drawings. If you had a reason for not doing this, I would love to hear it! Also, as you mentioned the results might change if asked in other seasons, I hope this is something you will test out in the future! ^^

@FurvaNoctua 11 месяцев назад

@@DarthAxolotl I thought that might be the case, but it looks to me like the values weren't accounted for? Sorry if that's an incorrect assumption, I just see some big changes in the values of the background colours of a lot of the photo pairs. The background colours could be cool or warm, but have the same values, so that the contrasts in each image didn't differ as much. At 8:08 in the video, if you take all those images and turn them into black and white photos to see the values, there are some very clear contrast differences between the pictures put up against one another, and many of the wrong seasons seem to have an overall better contrast with the background colour, shirt colour and the subjects' skin tone, making for an overall more pleasing picture, which I would think would skewer the results. Which is why giving them the same grey background would ensure no extra variables that might cause some of the correct seasons to look more washed out.

MatPat, you missed one MAJOR variable that might have skewed the votes: The participants displays. Not everyone has a display with correct color settings. Manufacturers often over saturate colors, most displays have a wrong white point, others have terrible contrast, shifted hues and the list goes on and on.

@stealthis 11 месяцев назад

@Blu3Pho3n1x 11 месяцев назад

Or blue light filtering - I have all my displays set to filter blue light since I work at my computer a lot, and I don't often think about it but it *does* mean that everything has a slight warm tone to it that it may not intend to have which means the colors are going to be a bit off. Usually not enough to change the contrast with the other colors around or anything, but it could skew skin tones and such ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@katrichardsonwriter 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, this was something I also thought about. I know my screen color balance is not perfect, because I have my laptop mirroring to my large-format monitor; they each show a different level of saturation, contrast, and white-balance, which changes with the lighting in the room. So, muted colors look drabber and are harder to differentiate. Red is a bastard of a color on screen, as is black, which drives my older monitor absolutely nuts. And it's all complicated by the blue light filtration on my glasses. What color are any of these, really? Who f-ing knows.

@NoahMiller13579 11 месяцев назад

There are factors I think you're overlooking. The big one is the background color, which wasn't consistent. There's also eye fatigue- I suspect you'll see a stronger preference for muted and darker colors in later questions. Some shirts were so saturated they didn't look real, so an uncanny valley effect might have been present too. There are also factors like the *type* of clothing the model was wearing. More formal shirts seemed to be darker shades and lower intensities, while t-shirts could be lighter and brighter.

One thing that bothered me about the photos was that photoshopped colors don't look the same as changing the color in real life. If you swap out a shirt in real life, the light bounces off that shirt and onto your skin, affecting the way your skin looks, but when you just swap the color of the shirt in photoshop, the reflected light stays the same. I honestly think the reflected light from colors near your face is what gives the biggest effect.

Like, I'm really fair... usually, but I've olive undertones, so certain greens will make me look minty or just downright sick! Oranges do the same. I can wear all the burgundy, olive, deep blues, jewel tones, and neutrals I want, as long as they aren't orange and bright Irish green!

@yasao_art 11 месяцев назад

Since I'm an artist, I think I let art influence my choices a lot, rather than trying to guess the seasons. For example when someone had orang-y hair, I was more likely to pair it with a blue shirt, rather than the other, teal option - you know, because complementary colors are a thing. And I guess my personal preference for dark, muted colors showed too, since bright, highly saturated colors are often too "loud", so I didn't pick them often, unless it felt "right".

@viktoria_pikovsky 11 месяцев назад

Same with me! I'm an artist too, and when I took the quiz I looked at how all the colors were matching each other together, including the background.

The way I saw it was more what style fits each person the best, and that how I chose the photos. And just like you, I didn't go for the lighter more vibrant colors. I like darker muted colors too, and those were the outfits I went for in the test too. I found a lot of the vibrant colors to be too "loud" and saturated to my taste, especially against some of the lighter colder backgrounds they were in.

I also was planning on doing digital art/animation project where I will draw different types of body types and skin colors taking on different types of clothing and shades of color. I was like "if Color Seasons would really help find how to make you pop out more then creating a digital character should be great and easy to find the right colors to match what I wanted" but now I'm not sure... After watching: Ok maybe I can still do that plan (not here tho)

The backgrounds played a huge role in my choices. To a point it was distracting and made it harder to focus on the clothing.

@123Elokin 11 месяцев назад

so glad so many comments are mentioning the background cause i was a little disappointed it wasn't mentioned in the video

@EnigmaHarper 11 месяцев назад

I think, and it goes against all scientific reasoning, that we didn't need that many choices. I know that about a third of the way through the survey I gave up on accuracy and just went with whatever popped out more. Which is what your results came said. So if there was less survey fatigue, you might have reached very different results.

@LadyGwynn 11 месяцев назад

I kinda feel like they intentionally introduced decision fatigue, in order to get answers that were more "gut reaction" than over thought.

@LunaWitcherArt 11 месяцев назад

The contrast between the clothes and the background was a huge factor for me. I chose what made the person pop in combination with the background.

The amount of conclusions that can be gleamed from all that data must be a lot. Pretty sure this data will be used a lot more than just this. Also, picking and choosing so many times hurt my brains. That survey was a pain to complete. Just when you think it's over, boom! there is another page. Anyway, thanks for reading, have a nice day.

@icedimp1793 11 месяцев назад

Did you guys account for the background colour in each of the pictures too? it seemed like the background color wasn't consistent between different photos of the same person, and I am curious about how that also has an affect on the responses since with some backgrounds there can be more or less contrast between the person's features as well as their clothes. Thought it was interesting that you didn't mention anything regarding the background of the photos and only the person and what they're individually wearing.

@bluefox175_ 11 месяцев назад

the lighting was EVERYTHING in my decision. A lot of times the subject looked more washed out and it was lighting and other factors, not even thinking of 'seasons'. Not sure if SAME lighting but changing the hue/tone of outfits for different seasons would have changed the results. I see from the comments others had the same idea: same background and lighting, different outfits?!

@Dmobley9901 11 месяцев назад

Whelp might as well add to the crowd, and maybe this'll be what gets the message across. We NEED to know if the changes in backgrounds was intentional or not, and if so, how does this alter the results? An uncontrolled variable can completely ruin the integrity of the results of this survey. Just figure some clarification would be appreciated by the community.

@rowannorth1382 11 месяцев назад

Like everyone here is saying, the BACKGROUND played a huge role in picking the colors and I am extremely surprised it wasn't mentioned. Also, decision fatigue was a HUGE part of it towards the end. It was a LOT longer than I expected and I got tired of looking the same images over and over. I felt like I was going crazy and just wanted it over, so that definitely affected my choices. Those both are HUGE data points you are overlooking.

@costantinocavallini4617 6 месяцев назад

i think there's a reason why when testing you actually wear the colors: light bounces off the Surface of othes and on your skin. you didn't take into account in your pictures that changing the color digitally isn't enough, you need to see how the color relfects on someone's skin and change their appareance

@King_Ddraig 11 месяцев назад

@YingofDarkness 11 месяцев назад

I wsh you guys would share the data for these studies as the massive amount of participants and data could be helpful to others researching this who don't have your clout. I'm also going to echo everyone else saying to keep the background colors the same. Stick to one for everyone or you just included an unaccounted variable. I didn't take the survey but just pausing to look at my preferences before you told me the data had me realizing that certain background colors made some of the participants look more washed out or brightened them up and that affected what shirt color I chose. I was choosing to compensate for the background color more often then I'd preferred. Maybe re-do this one with that in mind as that seems to be a big factor that skewed the results.

@gabrielkale 11 месяцев назад

I didn't even take the test and I thought it was weird that the backgrounds weren't consistent. It sounds like you unintentionally created a palette that skewed the results. I'm not sure how you did the color shifts. Was it because you used a layer mask? It's hard to imagine an option that wouldn't influence the viewer--even a neutral (black, white, gray) would still evoke a color combination. Were the color shifts in the background part of the season? If not, it seems like that was a huge variable.
