Jessica — if I only had a photo of your eye to determine your
coloring, I would guess ‘light’ as your dominant characteristic:

I can’t tell if this eye belongs to light summer or light spring.
It is gray-blue, which could work in either case. I also
see yellow, but this isn’t uncommon with either color type.
I read the comments on Renee, and most seem to think she
is 1) deep, 2) not clear, 3) probably warm, although there
were some that thought she might be on the cooler side.
One blog reader even changed her hair color & sent me
the photo. . .thanks Klara! This color is probably closer
to her natural hair color, so good job.

I personally think she is a ‘deep’. I think the
above photo demonstrates that she can
handle black very well. Here she is draped in
representative colors of both ‘deep’ palettes:

And I liked Klara’s hair color change photo so well,
I used it and tried both greens again:

Left is deep autumn, right is deep winter. . .
And here is Renee with more deep autumn (left side)
deep winter colors (right half):

This is the final word (she has been color confused for some
time). . .let Renee know which you like best: deep autumn or deep winter. . .
Renee provided another photo which may help with
the analysis:

The folks who responded to Thina’s analysis did very
well. Now let’s take a look at Renee. This time we
will go through the whole process. I am not going to
put up any colors on her yet. . .you take a guess where
she is based on her photos:

Note: think dominant characteristic. . .what is
it? Light? Deep? Clear? Soft? Warm?
Cool? Also, you need to ignore her hair color to
help determine dominant characteristic.
Go ahead and leave your guesses.
As you may (or not) have noticed if you’ve looked at
some of the color types posted here, most people fall
on the warmer side of the scale. In my experience,
cooler types are less common, which means the
pigment that generates warmth (yellow undertones)
in the skin, hair, and eye must be dominant.
Here we have Thina, who is an example of one
such cool type; I have placed her in both cool
winter and cool summer colors. Which do you
like best? Go ahead and post your opinion. . .I’d
like to see what you think.
