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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
