Hello everyone 
I’m a student come from China, and
my English is not very good. I’m very interested in fashion and garment art.I’m so glad to join this community and I hope that we can chat everything about the color of clothes.

Hi,
I’m Yael. I had my colors done sometime in the 90’s and came out as Winter. I had noticed that I am less able to wear the really vibrant cool colors with my now very grey hair and not really wanting that intensity of color, anyway, and I had drifted toward the softer colors. I was curious what a current redo would say to me. Decided to use this online tool, before seeing someone in person. I’m not at all surprised that I now come out as Summer. I tried several photos, and showed each of the sub-divisions, but usually Cool Summer. Soft Summer is nice, but a little too muted for me, and Light Summer is also very nice and works, but many colors are too light. So I will settle on Cool Summer, with the thought that I really like some of the darker Light Summer palate. Oddly, I look fantastic in both khaki and salmon; and while I look hideous in black, charcoal grey is wonderful on me. One comment about the tool, really mor about my pictures. My eyes show up some kind of grey, they are really very blue. I wonder if this skews the results in any significant way.

Hello 
I am really interested in how colour works both aesthetically and scientifically, and as I make most of my own clothes I mind about getting it right. I landed up here after wanting to expand my range of colours for clothes and not being at all sure which ones would or wouldn’t work. It has been confusing trying to understand how this works, particularly as I don’t seem to fit into the model very neatly. However, it certainly helps overall.

Aloha!
I live in Hawaii, and always thought I was a Winter, but now I see that all seasons have additional breakdowns for color. So - what is the difference between a COOL WINTER and a CLEAR SPRING? And how can I tie it down better?
Thanks!!

Hi all, my name is Herman - busy upgrading my wardrobe and wanting to make sure that I use the correct colour palette. According to the app, I am a Deep Winter, but on all the photos used, the app assumed that I have dark eyes (which are in fact grey-blue). If I understood it correctly, people with blue eyes can’t be Deep Winter, please advise!
If I understand the theory correctly, it isn’t all that likely that a dark winter would have blue-grey eyes, but it also isn’t literally impossible. This is because “dark” is about the level of contrast, and everyone has a light feature (whites of the eyes), and subseason is a question of which of the three features (dark, cool, or clear, in the case of winter) is strongest in your appearance. So if someone had very dark hair or skin and blue eyes, it might turn out that the contrast was still more significant than the other features. However, the impression I get is that it is more typical for people who have dark hair and light eyes to be clear or cool winter. I can’t get it to get my eye colour right either - it is annoying it doesn’t have a manual correct option - but it isn’t getting it so dramatically wrong as that.
You’re probably a Cool Winter. They are very similar but with a slightly different contrast. I am Deep but I can wear much of the Cool palette. If I can’t get the picker to find the right colour in the eye, I’ll see if I can find it elsewhere on the image. Sometimes around the hair will throw similar colours out. Worth a go?
