That said, I more or less agree with Janet on the inductive approach - I wear the colors I like on me and take into account which colors other people seem to respond to more than a winter's palette.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-accurate-are-most-color-analysis-sessions#post-2366517 Sun, 28 Jul 2024 15:00:00 +0000 Jenny H 2366517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think you can get incorrectly categorized. It is subjective. But also, I've just experienced a pretty big change of heart about color analysis in the past week or so.</p> <p>I had an analysis done years ago and in that system and by that stylist, I was categorized as a contrasting imperial winter. I absolutely do find that I look good in many of the colors in that palette. I shopped according to that palette for years-- and so many times I didn't buy an item I otherwise wanted because there wasn't a color option from my palette.</p> <p>But thanks to this forum, Angie has commented on a number of my posts over the years commenting how good I look in colors not part of my palette. Recently she suggested a color for me I never would have even thought to try. Right after that, I tried on a coat in a dark olive color that I have likewise avoided and my mind was blown when I could see how flattering that color was for me.</p> <p>Since then, I've been looking at color analysis posts on Reddit and I'm seeing how to my eye there are definitely people who look good in colors from multiple seasons.&nbsp;</p> <p>So I think I'm landing in a place where I'm going to be trying lots of colors, from any season and I'm going to buy/wear what feels good to me. Which is what I would have done had I never gotten my color analysis done in the first place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-accurate-are-most-color-analysis-sessions#post-2366513 Sun, 28 Jul 2024 12:59:25 +0000 kkards 2366513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMO, &nbsp;if summer colors speak to you, than that’s what you should wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-accurate-are-most-color-analysis-sessions#post-2366511 Sun, 28 Jul 2024 12:54:24 +0000 Helena 2366511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think wrong analyses are common ... Or, let's say, there is such an element of subjectivity to color analysis that it is possible to argue a person fits into multiple seasons. If your gut tells you summer then I'd say you are probably correct. Perhaps you can wear the brighter summer colours particularly well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-accurate-are-most-color-analysis-sessions#post-2366498 Sun, 28 Jul 2024 05:50:57 +0000 Sal 2366498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know forum member Staysfit had a couple of colour analyses done and they were different. I suspect people can get it wrong.</p> <p>I just had one done and got a season I expected although I wondered about three (warm spring, clear spring and warm autumn) - my diagnosis was clear spring and it feels right to me. I also think I can wear most colours in spring, some in autumn, some of winter and a few from summer -but clear spring was the best fit.</p> <p>I would experiment at home with pieces you have or even looking at cushions or others tees to see if you start to agree or not. </p> <p>Clear winter and clear spring are a bit similar - I am not especially high contrast - I would say medium contrast - but I can carry off vivid colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-accurate-are-most-color-analysis-sessions#post-2366496 Sun, 28 Jul 2024 04:05:40 +0000 RyeRye19 2366496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently had my color analysis done and feel like they might have been given me the wrong seasonal palette. She told me I am a Bright Winter but I don't feel like I have enough contrast and enough brightness to my features to fit in to that season. Has anyone had a first time color analysis where they had to get a second opinion or the first opinion was incorrect? My gut is telling me I am a summer season but this Bright Winter totally threw me! </p>
