You wear cool medium colors well. However, there is one last step. What is your chroma? Are you Bright or Soft. Do you wear bright jewel tone colors well or do you wear grey-blues and grey-greens best?

If you know what your chroma is, then you know your color type! Select it below. If not, scroll down a bit to learn more about being soft or bright.

Bright, Soft and Muted Tones Explained

Watch this video that explains bright, soft and muted colors and why this is so important in learning the types of colors that flatter you best. 

 

BRIGHT Explained

"Bright" in Your Color Style means clear chroma colors. Clear chroma colors are colors that start out pure. Like a bright red. White or black may be added to create light and dark versions of the color, but the color started with a clear chroma. Pastel pink to bright red to maroon can all be considered "bright" colors (aka clear chroma colors).

SOFT Explained

Soft colors are colors that have been softened in some way. In art, the color on the opposite side of the color wheel can be added to mute or gray a color. You can also add white or black to a color to soften it. Adding a touch of green to a bright red will create a muted or gray-red. Or you can add white or black to create slightly softened versions of red. Muted cool colors can have a dusty grey quality to them.

Individuals who are soft cool and medium wear grey-ed muted colors very well.

The Soft and Cool Color Palettes Explained

The video below explains the color theory behind the soft and cool color palettes. Understanding how and why a color is in a color palette can help you understand where which color palette you is right for you.

When you wear a brighter color, do you feel good in it or do you feel like it over powers you? If it overpowers you, you may be SOFT. If you can definitely wear brighter colors, even if not the brightest color, you are likely BRIGHT.

When you wear a soft grey color, do you feel at home in it or do you feel a little blah. If a muted color feels off, then you may be BRIGHT. If you can wear muted colors well and feel great in them, then you are SOFT.
 
One more way to figure this out. If you wore a bright color, would you see the color first or you first? Bright colors will pop off of muted colors. If your natural coloring and tone is soft, then a bright color will jump forward versus being in harmony with you.

  • Hello Jennifer,

    I still not sure what season I am. One color analyse told me I am cool other one that I am warm muted.
    I have medium value. I have natural very dark musey blonde hair , grey-green eyes with golden in the middle en medium skin tone wicht take a color in the summer very easy.
    So I don’t know if I am a one of the muted autumn or a deep summer.

    I will be grateful for your opinion.
    Greetings,

    Kasia L.

    Hi Kasia

    Your Color Style isn’t seasonal color analysis. Based on your description, it sounds like you might be warm. It’s impossible to say without seeing you. You are probably right about being soft and medium. But it’s tough to say if you are earthy or dusty in tones.

    You can always reach out to one of my consultants for help
