eye patterns & color
Filed under: Color -- General

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.

Renee — with colors
Filed under: Color -- Analysis
Posted by: Leslie @ 9:34 am

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. . .

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.

Thina
Filed under: Color -- General, Color -- Analysis
Posted by: Leslie @ 10:42 am

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.
