From that pic, yes it is cool-toned.

Looks cool to me - I like it!
Where is it from?

CheckingMyPrivilege · 17/08/2017 08:37

It's from Topshop. Yes I think there are blues that are warm.

I'd have said that was a warm toned blue!

Showandtell · 17/08/2017 08:42

Surely that's warm? It has a lot of pink in it?

whitesklyer · 17/08/2017 08:44

yup its cool-toned, kinda cobalt in colour?? Very nice too

Showandtell · 17/08/2017 08:45

It looks purply on my phone!

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 17/08/2017 08:48

Just googled. I always thought blue was cool toned. The jacket is warm according to this chart.

Anything with undertones of red is warm. You need red to make purple...

CheckingMyPrivilege · 17/08/2017 08:57

I like it but I'm very cool-toned so apprehensive.

But pink is cool toned. And so are many reds.

When I had my colours done all blues and pinks and most reds were allowed (except for pale ones that don't suit me because I'm dark).

ItsALardBaby · 17/08/2017 09:36

Definitely warm toned. Its almost purple!

LaCerbiatta · 17/08/2017 09:37

Cool / warm colours

Purple is cool!!

Nancy91 · 17/08/2017 09:39

Looks warm to me

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 17/08/2017 09:46

Based on this (and assuming it is purple as it looks) I'd say it was in between cool and warm. I'd wear this colour and I'm a Blue Spring (warm toned verging on cool). If it is actually cobalt then it's cool. The pic looks like it might be a different colour in real life...

It's also suede. Is it a bad idea/not practical?

Website calls it "electric blue"

This doesn't necessarily make it warm. It's a blue-purple, which makes it cool.

Any colour can be cool or warm - even red, yellow and orange can be cool. Purple definitely can be.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 17/08/2017 11:00

It's a warm blue.

Dina1234 · 17/08/2017 11:07

Looks warm to me.

Doobigetta · 17/08/2017 11:09

It's cobalt- a strong, cool-toned blue. Will look great on you if you have Winter colouring, but probably too strong for a Summer. I'm a deep/shaded Summer, and I find cobalt completely washes me out.

TheDowagerCuntess · 17/08/2017 11:09

I disagree with MartinRhodes' chart.

Those are muted blues and clear blues.

CheckingMyPrivilege · 17/08/2017 11:11

I just checked it on the phone and it's a different color on the phone than on the laptop.

I'm a Winter.
