My DH is clear winter and also has dark brown hair. We both have a pale complexion by comparison. Another way of working it out is finding someone who you know is definitely one or the other (warm or cool) and hold your bare arm next to theirs. You can then often tell if you're like them or different more easily.</p> <p>Even easier if you are naked but that is not always so easy (or desirable) to arrange.<br /> ;-)</p> <p>I think if you keep thinking about it it'll become clear over the next week which you are if not before! Really interesting point from Louise I thought - one I'll bear in mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170914 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:34:27 +0000 rae 170914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I thought it would be a slam dunk for the right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170913 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:32:36 +0000 Itari 170913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The votes:</p> <p>Left (Spring) - 5<br /> Right (Winter) - 13</p> <p>The rest is undecided :)</p> <p>It seems that Clear Winter is more accurate. I think I'm cool-coloured, but there's a bit of warmth (freckles :)). My worst colours are earthy, warm tones that an Autumn would wear. Saturated tones make a huge difference; both Clear Spring and Clear Winter look good, since they're neither completely warm or cool. </p> <p>However, some people think that Clear Springs can have dark brown hair, while the others limit the colour choices to blonde and light brown. Confusing, I guess. I know that it's not an exact science - but at least I know that I need clear colours. I mean, I don't look bad in cool Summer tones, but they're not my best. BTW, my sister has a bright red lipgloss. I'm gonna steal it and take a photo tomorrow, because it looks brilliant on me.</p> <p>Oh, and I chose photoshopping only because I don't have these colours in my wardrobe ;)</p> <p>Louise - I wore a black top, so there's no reflection - but there's some yellow from the walls; if you look closer, you can see it over my eyes. The picture in my profile is the most accurate. Colour-wise, that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170912 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:29:55 +0000 Louise 170912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Throwing a bit of a spanner, but if you've photoshopped the colours, the way they 'reflect' on your skin won't be there, the skin reflection will still be there from the colour top you where wearing when the photo was taken? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170911 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:26:42 +0000 April 170911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let us also remember that we're all going to see this slightly differently on our monitors. I vote right, but that's probably more because I prefer those colors than that I have any insight as to which flatters you more, Magda. </p> <p>But yay for you for thinking about color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170869 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:40:04 +0000 taylor 170869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170865 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:32:16 +0000 Itari 170865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hey, thanks!</p> <p>I do know about Color Me Beautiful - the left ones are Clear Spring and the right ones are Clear Winter and yes, I wondered about the Summer types, but I look way better in clear than in muted colours. I wondered about the Clear Spring colours since there's some warmth in my eyes (bright green flecks).</p> <p>ok, back to watching Italy vs. Paraguay, will write something as soon as the game ends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170863 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:28:28 +0000 jerseyjan 170863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170855 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:07:59 +0000 Vix 170855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Kristine said I think the photoshopping can throw things off a lot.</p> <p>Of those colors I actually one really LOVE the left blue on you. No surprise given your gorgeous eyes. I think the left coral is close but needs more red (pink) and less yellow (peach).</p> <p>I know pale skin/dark haired/light eyes folks often get typed as a Clear Winter, but you may want to take a look at the Summer shades as well since there is some overlap amongst all the cool-toned types.</p> <p>I could see you as a Cool or Soft Summer, actually. </p> <p>I have dark eyes and the pale skin/dark hair thing going on, and while some of the bright Winter shades are striking on me because they create such high contrast, in truth they kind of wear me and I do better in the knocked-back Summer versions. </p> <p>(some approximations at link below...scroll down)</p> <p><a href="http://www.style-makeover-hq.com/seasonal-color-analysis.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.style-makeover-hq.c.....lysis.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170849 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:54:35 +0000 Maya 170849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right does it for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170843 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:48:06 +0000 Angie 170843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote right. Any consensus? I have not looked at the comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170795 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:56:35 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 170795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you do some more with some darker deeper colours? I sort of think you're a clear winter (colormebeautiful - you may not be into that) - big contrast between dark hair and paler complexion and cool based complexion. So I'd think you'd look better in icy pinks/blues/greens and then much darker pine greens/darker blues/fushias etc.</p> <p>The ones on the right are deeper toned but they are sometimes still warm colours. I'm a clear spring and I'd wear some of the tones on the left and some on the right (I'd wear the pink and the blue on the right and the left for example - and I'm warm based colouring).</p> <p>Sorry if this confuses it all - and don't take my word for it (as I'm not confident about making judgements on other people's colouring), but I'm just saying what strikes me! Also, these sorts of rules are made to be broken and I break them more confidently now! I loved having another chance to see those beautiful eyes though...</p> <p>ETA - I think what I'm saying is that I'm not sure that each lot of colours forms a single 'group' - you look good in lots of the colours but I couldn't say which column is 'better'. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170794 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:55:06 +0000 Rosie 170794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me I see pretty much the same effect, I think due to what Kristine mentioned... sorry, not helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170793 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:52:20 +0000 marianne 170793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote right.

It's even so far. Fat lot of help we are! (btw, I like the left because those colors really make your pretty eyes pop!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170757 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:52:27 +0000 Kristine 170757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the right column. To be fair if you're photoshopping it won't give you the true effect. It's the reflection of the color on your complexion, eyes and hair that will make some colors work better than others. You'd have to actually try on these colors to get the full effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170752 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:45:34 +0000 Scarlet 170752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tough, but left </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170749 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:41:54 +0000 Patience 170749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Left </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170747 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:37:49 +0000 Dusty 170747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Left, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170746 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:36:39 +0000 Queen Mum 170746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going with the column on the right as well.<br /> I like how you did that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170741 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:29:43 +0000 Anonymous 170741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the right, deeper and blue toned colors </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170737 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:26:28 +0000 morethanbeige 170737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The right color tones look lovely on your skin to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170735 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:21:23 +0000 Lisa 170735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the right column with the slightly darker, cooler tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-suspect-something-a-colour-poll#post-170734 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:20:02 +0000 Itari 170734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for being so self-absorbed lately, but I have big shopping plans I'm asking you to choose between the left and the right column: the better pink, green and blue.
