Good Morning all
During various Sew-Socials I have head people mentioning that they fall under different colour pallets - Spring, Summer etc.
How do I find out what colour pallet best suites me?
Any susgestions greatfully received 🙏
Many thanks in advance.
There are lots of companies and individuals who will do assessments at different price points. You can also use AI to have a go at assessing your season from a photo.
I’ve had several assessments over many years and think https/yourcolorguru.com probably represents the best value for money.
You can assess yourself. This is a simple way to start!
Start with metal colours. Do you prefer gold or silver jewellery? Try holding a piece of gold jewellery against your face or the back of your hand and then try silver. One will make you look healthier (best way I can describe it). If silver is your best metal you are likely to be a ‘cool’ summer or winter. If gold is your best metal then you are probably a ‘warm’ spring or autumn.
Once you have an idea of whether you are cool or warm you can think about the colours you wear that draw compliments and are perhaps colours you choose to wear already.
That’s a low cost way to start, but I’d also recommend going with the colours that make you happy! Listen to your gut feeling and choose what makes you happy!
This is genius. New career Donnie??
I agree with all Donnie said. Also the colours you are most drawn to are usually 'your' colours. Do you like bright or muted? Strong or pastel?
Make a collage of all the colours you like - not necessarily clothes - pictures from magazines or do it online. You should get an overview of your overall palette then compare your likes with the colours on each season. They may not match exactly but should give you an overall view.
Your eye colour also influences the colour that suits you so take that in to account too.
Many years ago I trained as a colour analyst and came to realise that each person is different even within a season. A blonde spring and a brunette spring would pick different shades from the same season. Skin tone also has a bearing.
It's a fascinating subject. I hope you find the colours you like that suit you and make you look alive!
