Step 2: Deep - Warm or Cool Undertones

I’m struggling a bit to nail my undertone. Deeper skin tones don’t tend to have an even coloring. So, like a lot of POCs, the center of my face is brighter; a little peachy. The majority of my face is magenta-brown, especially when I tan. I love purple and think it looks great on me. But, I’ve gotten compliments in yellow colors like squash and mustard. Where would that put me?

Hi

It’s really hard to say without seeing you. Magenta brown tells me you have some pink to red in your skin. This could lean warm. It’s possible. Which explains why you get compliments in golden yellows. Purple is a color that can look great on warm and cool people, so that won’t help much in narrowing it down. We specialize in women with brown skin. I highly recommend you take a look at our Express color analysis so that you’ll once and for all your color palette. I’d love to help you. https://yourcolorstyle.com/pages/online-color-analysis

Hi

I can’t help you with seasons because Your Color Style isn’t seasonal color analysis. Based on your description, it’s tough to know for sure if you have warm or cool undertones. You can always sign up for a Basic Color Analysis <http:///quick> so that we can help you. If warm golden yellow looks good on you, then you have warm undertones. If magenta pink looks good on you, then you have cool undertones. Hope that helps

Hi Jen,
Thanks for this great quiz. I have dark brown hair which i have been told suits me when its warmer in colour, brown-green hazel eyes and very fair skin with freckles (quite possibly porcelain or light ivory). I am trying to work out whether I am cool or warm as I seem to have a combination of both? Thanks, Montanna

It’s not unusual to have a combination of warm and cool tones. Based on your description, you sound like you might be warm. Do you wear burnt reds and golden yellows well? That will be the determining factor.

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.

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
