Is there a definitive "type" for each of the HoC colours?

[brokenshoes]

I can't afford to get my colours done, but have read up quite a lot about it. As far as my understanding goes, there are cool and warm "types" within each of the seasons - spring, summer, autumn, winter.

Does it follow that warm autumns would always have the same colouring (for example red hair, pale skin, blue eyes)?

Or is it possible for two people of completely different colourings to be the same HoC colour? (i.e could two people, one with dark skin, black hair, brown eyes and the other with pale skin, green eyes and blonde hair both be a cool summer?)

I've got chestnut brown hair (going a bit grey now), very pale skin (prone to sunburn) with a tendency for rosy cheeks, green eyes (well, they are kind of blue with yellow flecks which make them look green).

Just wondering, with a bit of my own research, if I could narrow down which colour type I'm most likely to fit into.

The latter - I have very very dark brown hair, bright hazel eyes, pale (white!) skin and am a blue autumn. I have a close friend who has light brown/slightly auburn hair, blue eyes and a peaches and cream complexion and she is also a blue autumn.

Also Travelincolour who is another consultant on here (I am a HoC consultant) looks like a typical online diagnosis deep autumn, but is a deep summer.

Thanks Hopefully - that's all really interesting. So it really is about individual skin tone etc, rather than a sweeping "you've got x colour hair and eyes, so you must be this particular type".

Very much so. I honestly assumed that it was bullshit and once I'd trained I'd be able to tell what people were by looking at their eyes/hair etc, but it really sonny possible, and the more clients I see the more I'm reminded of it. Some people are more obvious than others, which I suspect is why some people think it is v easy to do yourself.

Isn't, not sonny!

Best friend fits the warm autumn colouring in the OP but is in fact a spring (not sure what kind but I think a warm spring?)! It's very individual.

I seem to be able to wear cool and warm colours so totally baffled as to what I could be.
