Today I want to talk about color theory for beginners and specifically seasonal color analysis or the theory that breaks all colors into 2 main categories: Hue (either cool or warm) & Value (either light or dark).
Identifying which of these your hair, eyes and skin fall under can help you find the colors that will be in synergy with your coloring, and results in 4 harmonious color groups named after the 4 seasons of the year –
winter (cool & deep)
spring (warm & light)
summer (cool & light)
autumn (warm & deep)
If you have traits from 2 different seasons, you can use the updated model which includes your hue, value and chroma (the depth of your coloring and the contrast between your hair, eyes & skin which can be either rich and saturated or muted). When these 3 are combined you get 12 seasons and I share all of them in this video.
I hope this is helpful and thanks so much for watching! xx Audrey

Im just more and more confused. I loved your video on olive skin and i strongly feel i am olive (have been called sickly my whole life and no foundation ever suited me before i started mixing with blue and green), but i am as Pale as julianne Moore (my legs and feet look like a wax doll!) and my eyes are hazel with a warm ring, my hair kinda ashy in some light and Golden in other. I feel beautiful in navy and olive, but is having a hard time with most colors. Terracotta and colors like that CAN be pretty but also too dominant. But I dont feel cool colors always fit me that well either… i tend to Fall for jewel tones but feel awful in brown hues (except maybe a very neutral taupe?) my lips look good in rosewood kinda colors, and peach and pink blush look awful BUT everybody tell me that copper hair looks good on me? Jen Thoden and Merriam Style here om youtube borh concluded from a photo that i am soft and warm, but I never put on yellow, orange, red, ugh! I feel in my heart that they are wrong. My heritage is part Danish / part french. I would love to send you some photos if you are curious or need a video on the palest of the olive skin tones – if I AM olive that is! this video was lovely, now i bingewatch you! 😆
I have light olive complexed skin tones and dark brown eyes with a hint of Olive Green. Many people told me I have green eyes and they could be hazel. Furthermore, I have dark brown hair with a touch of dark red. I was told I am a cool color person. I notice, some other colors look good on me as well. I cannot wear yellows, oranges, and only certain greens. Thank you for your video and was very helpful.
Thank you so much for this video and you helped me so much with olive complexion skin line. I enjoyed your video and thank you.
Just found out why I've always been drawn to certain colours in my clothes and not others. I'm olive and a dark winter 😁
After months of studying color analysis i finally understand it 😂 my undertone confused me so much because i had a mixture of both cool and warm tone on my skin. My veins are blue while i look yellow when compared to pure white. I have black hair but I also tan easy. But i could never tell if i looked better in gold or silver. So i thought maybe I'm warm but warm color palette washes me out so much I look horrendous and I never understood. Cooler color pallet suited me better. Then I finally realized I'm olive. And it all made sense from there. My color season is deep winter.
This is too much work. why cant we just wear the colours we like?
I think olive tones are really easy to be confused with warm. So, if you have a yellow-ish skin, yet orange, beige, brown, yellow, khaki and gold make you look yellow in an unhealthy way, then you are cool toned. Warm types are never going to look yellow in an unhealthy way in warm colours.
This confirmed something I knew but questioned about my olive skin. THANK YOU 🙏🏽
This is difficult. I'm a deep winter. My undertone is warm (at least my veins are green). Certain colours fit well on me like a dark warm green for example, yet, when I put on certain things associated with warm undertones like gold jewellery, I turn into a turmeric or a very yellow face. What am I? Am I an olive? 🤷♀️
Still so confused🤣
Now I'm just more confused and lost as to what I might be. Neutral skin that leans a touch towards warm. Light mint colored eyes. Dark hair. I can't tell if I'm a clear spring of soft autumn or some other thing. I don't look great in most pastels, though some work for me. If its too warm like orange doesn't look quite right either. So lost.
How would white paper make the skin look pinkish or yellowisch????
Skin is skin, white paper, yellow paper or other stuff next to my skin doesn't make it look any different. It still looks like … skin.
I don't get the paper test.
What about the older woman with white hair and olive skin?
What a great tip for shopping online. Look at the model. Wow!
I am neutral but lean slightly cool/pink. There are others that can be neutral but lean slightly warm. Neutral leaning slightly cool looks best in muted cool colors. Neutral leaning slightly warm look good in muted warm colors.
I’ve also found that I can’t always rely on putting colors up to my face. I’ve got a lot of hormonal redness in my face, so I’ll sometimes lay the color against my neck or chest, which is how I ended up finally figuring out I actually have warm undertones, after years of thinking I was cool because of the red on my face. I could never figure out why the cool colors I was wearing just made me look sickly, and did not work. I avoided all the warm colors like the plague because I was convinced I was cool. When I finally tried on this gorgeous tangerine colored summer dress one day, it was like a lightbulb went off. Suddenly, I looked much peachier in my cheeks, my eyes lit up. I’ve never looked back. I can get away with a few really bright cool colors, like royal blue, or a bright plumb, but deep, and bright warm colors are definitely what I look best in.
Color analysis has helped me for years to avoid wearing clothes and makeup with yellow undertones. I am a summer.
That periwinkle blue top is beautiful on you! Color harmony.
I didn't understand how to identify Chroma. Could you please explain it again?
Deep autumn gang where you at?
i really want to get my colours done in person. i have tried to take photos of myself in natural lighting and do it that way, but every photo is different because natural lighting is inconsistent. for this reason i'm not sure why it's the gold standard for comparison photos!
love the diversity in your examples!
I think I am a neutral warm olive, is that possible? I feel yellowish and sometimes green and I look good with silver jewelry but I look awful with blue and navy.
I think I classify as deep autumn: my undertone is neutral/warm, my hair is ashy brown and my eyes are warm brown……. I feel lost sos
Me, a neutral mild tan skinned, with dark hair that's gold in the sun and dark eyes
you are an adorable lady! thank you for sharing xxx
I am so confused and I am a graphic designer who understands colour really well and got high distinctions in my colour class and also loves fashion. I do not understand why this is so complicated nothing in your chart said anything about neutral undertones. There must be simple a way to find out what you are. However I cant find it. Good for the olive undertones though as it would be a breeze to work out that season. I am at a huge loss what to do and how to figure it out and I am just becoming more and more confused. 🥺☹️
I can’t tell if I’m spring or summer
