Seasonal Color Analysis: Winter Redheads and Other Mythological Creatures

Many readers requested follow-ups to my article on Season Color Analysis (which needs to be updated BTW), so I took a different approach to this one. In this article, I talk about how looks can initially be deceiving. A cool-skinned, dark eyed brunette is ALWAYS a Dark Winter? Light green eyes are ALWAYS Spring? Red hair is ALWAYS warm? There’s no such thing as “always.”

Below I talk about how to break the rules when they don’t work for you. Of course, you have to know the rules and understand them before you can break them! But when you do, there’s nothing wrong with making Seasonal Color Analysis fit you instead of trying to change yourself to fit into a small box created by someone else.

Color Consultants: There are two kinds of redheads. Warm Spring and True Autumn. Me: Nope.

Dyed hair and colored contacts are among the beauty devices we use that can easily mess with Color Analysis. But since I plead guilty to using them myself, I thought I’d start there.

We all know that ladies with light, warm eye colors, and light copper or strawberry blonde red hair are Warm Springs who wear corals, peaches, warm spring greens, and sunny yellows, while ladies with darker eyes, such as brown, hazel, or olive, and darker red hair like medium to dark copper or true red, are True Autumns who rock olive green, rust, rich goldenrod, burgundy, and navy. Both warm, one is just darker than the other.
