Dear jen,
I am Reka from Hungary. I am interested in the types of seasons.
My hair is color depth 6, it looks brown.
My eyes are green, darker green, my skin is olive.
The bright colors are too gloomy for me, on the contrary, with the deeper, dull ones.
What do you think?
Good Day,
Reka

HI Reka
I’m sorry but you won’t learn your season here. Your Color Style is different and we help you discover your most flattering color palette. This is not a season. If you are saying the bright colors don’t look right on you, then I would consider soft and cool for your color palette.
Jen
Torn or warm/cool. Have almost black eyebrows but they’re ashy. Natural hair is light brown with no red. Green eyes. Skin tans well but will burn. I see purple and green when checking veins. Look great in cobalt blue, olive green. Help! Could I be the minority w/neutral tone?

Hi Jen
I’m think I’m medium but I can’t figure out if I am warm or cool…
My skin is very light olive, it never fits :( I only know one foundation on the market, cause it looks warm against cold skin, cold against warm, yellow green next to a pink skin, and ivory beige against yellow/gold skin. It burns if I’m not careful, but then tans a lot to a very sandy/honey gold.
My eyes are grey/blue/green, with a brownish center circle expanding with time. Not very light, but not deep. My hair is brown, not warm, really not on the reddish side, with blond/gold/honey thread, easily lightened by the sun. Hairdresser advised against copper/red, or platinum blond, or black hair color. I wear both gold and silver jewellery (silver not much in winter, looks better on tanned skin). No green, grey, purple, blue eyeshadow, but sand, pinks, plum, and terracotta red complement my eyes. I can wear a lot of pastels clothes. I don’t like mustard and warm bright yellows, kaki/olive green, dusty dark colors, reddish browns, teal, peacock, cold dark purple, neon pink-purple, neon yellow. Some bright are great, other are terrible.
I saw you’re amazing video about olive skintone and learned a lot, but still don’t know where I stand…
Thank you so much

Hello,
I have medium skin tone with a bit of yellow, dark blonde hair, olive green eyes with a dark grey ring around the iris. My veins are blue and green. I thought I was what’s referred to as “soft summer” for a color season, with muted, dusty colors. Somehow these don’t feel quite “right “ for me. Please advise.
Thank you!

Hi Michelle Based on your description, you sound like you have warm undertones. JenSent from my iPad
I had my colors done years ago by first impressions “color balance”. I was categorized as cool. Predominately on the cobalt blue, bright pinks, corals and greens. How would thi translate to your color fans? I believe the color analysis done years ago was accurate because the times I wore any of the colors from the color chart, I got lots of compliments. I also have some color cards that are by season (spring, summer, winter, autumn. Please advise. I’ve gone from light brown green eyes to light grey front dark grey back..

hi Patricia
You sound like you are cool and bright. I would try Bright Cool and Medium. If those colors seem too dark then Bright Cool and Light
