I have been googling plenty to try to work out my colours. I don't live in uk and don't know anywhere where I can go to have it done professionally, so mr google it is Grin.

So I reckon that I am warm spring, with my colouring and green veins and all. BUT - from what I have read is that warm spring colours do not include grey and we shouldn't really wear grey. So this is where I'm not sure as I look nice in grey Confused. I have green/grey eyes and if I am wearing grey colours it changes my eye colour and I always get compliments from people that I look nice...

So maybe I'm not spring, but autumn, but grey isn't in that palette of colours either....

So I have pale skin with freckles, green veins, hair was strawberry blonde when younger but is now is darker brown with still with copper colouring. Olive green eyes with a grey circle around with yellow flecks - they change to completely grey sometimes.

I bought a burgundy coloured top which I thought would look nice, but to be honest it looks awful, and that should be in my colour palette. I know I am a warm colour, I have always worn browns, creams etc. Maybe I am one of the inbetweeners..

Anyone want to offer some wise words?

Im a spring and have 2 greys on my palette, a very light grey and a mid dove grey. I think springs tend to have very clear eyes though, if yours are grey/green autumn sounds more likely to me? Autumns have a softness to their colouring.

There are some good examples on this website with celebrity examples etc. I found this really helpful and managed to guess my season before having it done properly.

Green veins guidance is a load of crap. I have veins like gangrene, and I'm a cool palette- a summer. I would say if grey suits you, you are either a Summer or a Winter. I also have a lot of red in my hair, but am still a cool colour person
