Hi Jen, I recently got draped with a different system and the analyst had a really hard time decided if I was neutral or cool. She ultimately went with cool but I am a little confused. My hair is very dark but not blue-black. It has orange warm flecks when I shine it up to the sun, but has a little bit of a smokey darkness to it, almost like a charcoal dark chocolate. I also think I have olive skin with neither warmth or cool. What are your thoughts? I used to think I was a deep autumn but recently have been typed deep winter. I feel like your SCD type best fits me but I am missing dark brown, which also seems to be a good fit for me. Is there such a thing as a SND (soft, neutral, deep)?

Your Color Style replied:
You are likely SCD based on your description. There is cool deep brown in your cool neutrals for your cool and deep.
Jen
if I am light and cool, why do I have to be bright? Cant I be soft?
This quiz did not give me that choice. It automatically just said I was light, cool and bright

Hi
I need to update this a bit. The original SCL color palette was a bit too grey and dull, in my opinion. I believe someone that is light needs some presence with their colors. But if the brightest clear colors are too intense, the new SCL color palette is ideal for you. Take a look at the following: Soft Cool Light Color Fan <https://yourcolorstyle.com/collections/color-fans/products/soft-cool-light-color-fan> Soft Cool Light Digital Color Palette <https://yourcolorstyle.com/collections/color-palettes/products/soft-cool-light-digital-color-palette> Soft and Cool Color Palettes Explained <https://youtu.be/gFax6MUD0Y4>
Hope this helps

I have a combination I think. I have olive skin that gets more brown when I tan than golden and dark brown hair that starts off very dark black with no tones at the roots. Dark brown almost black eyes. I look good in both silver and gold jewelry and red and purple lipsticks. So so confused as to whether I am dark winter or dark autumn.

Hi Pata
Your Color Style is not seasonal color analysis so I can’t respond to your question about your season. You sound like you have cool undertones. If you had warm undertones, blue based lipsticks would look terrible on you. Red is neutral and can be worn by people with cool undertones. I hope this helps.
Jen
I would definitely have been a deep, warm type if I had not developed a depigmenting skin condition. I have dark brown eyes, dark brown hair with golden highlights, and black eyebrows, but my skin is basically without any pigment at all—extremely pale with pink undertones. Neutral lipsticks often look bright orange on me, I tend to look good in high contrast outfits, like a black dress with a white pattern, and lots of purples make me look dead. How would you classify me?

Your Color Style replied:
I would say you are bright cool deep. Because of your pigmentation, there may be some colors that just simply don’t harmonize and that’s ok. That’s true for many people. My guess is bright cool deep

Hi Emem
I’m assuming when you say you have “winter” qualities you mean that you can wear bright colors? If so, you can be warm and wear bright colors too. Honey brown skin means to me that you have warm undertones. If so then you would be bright warm deep
