Can Winters wear orange, and if not what is persimmon?

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

Just as the title says really.

In the charts I've seen online one of deep winters' best colours is persimmon but I can't make out what colour it actually is.

Is it orange or orangey red or brownish orange?

TIA

So I want my colours done, but I'm afraid . I loathe brown, beige, burgundy and orange, and what if they tell me to wear them? I know I don't actually have to, but then there's no point.

I think this combination of orange and burgundy looks lovely.

You'll know when you try it on op.
I'm not convinced by that pic of Jennifer garner to be honest, I don't think the colour looks good on her. The other two look nice though

I find most ppl gravitate to their most flattering colors naturally. I realized my dresser was full of lavenders, muaves, and greys and turns out , yep I'm soft summer.
Also, it really depends on the shade so if you love a certain color just find your right shade

I find winters really sparkle in their right colors, usually the easiest for me to identify

Just wondering, I was told I was a Winter many years ago before my hair had started to go grey.

My eyes and veins are still the same colour, maybe my pallor has faded slightly and my hair would be grey save the fact I dye it.

Are you born a Winter and stay one or can you change seasons over the course of your life?

What colour are your eyes & hair now?
I am a cool winter. Pale skin, grey / blue eyes very dark brown almost black hair and orange / olive / brown / mustard are awful on me, they draw any colour out of my face.

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

My eyes are brown. Hair is also brown (dyed)! Blonde highlights do not suit my complexion at all. People think I am sallow but I have no yellow in my skin. I tan easily if I'm careful.

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

Mustard tastes great but it is the colour of evil and diarrhoea

[Peppermeant]

I'm a winter and theres one shade of orange that looks great on me(I have a top that is a deep, clear orange - best way I can describe it - and always gets compliments) but all other oranges look terrible. I think the colour of that jumper is too yellow-orange sorry

[Maraki]

I'm a burnished winter in HOC, so my skin is neutral but more cool toned. Deep Winter colours suit me.
I can wear bright orange BUT I clash it with a very bright red lipstick (ruby woo from mac or no27 from HOC).
Not for the faint hearted but looks good. The beige lipsticks the celebs wore in the photos that were linked upthread would wash me out.

Marcipex there are enough colours in each palette that you can easily avoid any you don't like and still wear your best colours. I'm an Autumn and I loathe all shades of brown apart from light tan for boots, and I never feel limited - I wear teal, dark olive, charcoal and navy as neutrals. In fact the only colours I like that you'd actually think of as autumnal (ie sludgy) are chartreuse and amber, but I still stick to my palette.

Martin assuming you were analysed correctly, you're a Winter for life. Your best colours within that palette might shift a bit though.

[Marcipex]

That's interesting Hopefully, thank you.
I'm a bit odd I think, light brown hair, now greying, slightly yellowish skin that tans very quickly, turquoise eyes. I think I'm a Martian.

Im a winter and get great compliments when l wear orange. Friend actually said ..everything you see in that colour snap it up as looks so well on you. Dark brown hair brown eyes tan easily. Love orange.

[Standingonlego]

I am a winter and when I wear this full on orange number I get lots of compliments :)

So I want my colours done, but I'm afraid . I loathe brown, beige, burgundy and orange, and what if they tell me to wear them? I know I don't actually have to, but then there's no point.

I had my colours done years ago, with my mum and my sister, and I remember my sister saying exactly the same thing. I think that's the point - as Dustbunny says you gravitate towards the colours that really suit you, and by the same token you dislike the ones that don't. My sister is indeed a summer so would never wear beige, burgundy or orange (there might be a particular shade of brown summers can wear, not sure about that!)

[Tameagobairanois]

There's bound to be a few shades you like! I'd like to get it done, with a friend to make it fun.

I haven't had mine done but i want to get it done. Every time I do an on line quiz I get a different answer. I have mid brown blah hair, green eyes and pale skin. So it's hard to tell what i am. But Rust and olive green suit me. I think that means I'm autumn. Not certain though. White looks terrible on me, or, I look terrible in white. TERRIBLE. Is that a clue?

[Tameagobairanois]

I've never worn brown or yellow in my life. I wonder if they are just not my colours.

[PickAChew]

I've tried to wear orange, but apart from when I was a teen and had died my hair almost black, it never really worked. I'm salt and pepper now and I can wear a soft but not too pale coral in the summer when I have a few light freckles on my cheeks, but it looks completely wrong in winter when my skin is paler and pinker.

[Tameagobairanois]

i'm nodding as I listen to this and this woman says that white adds ten years to an autumn. That's it then, I'm definitely an autumn and I discovered recently that rust peps me up so that's it I guess.

White is my Black!

[PickAChew]

I could also do a deep chocolate brown when I was younger and a clear winter. I hated plum and navy back then as they were ageing on me. Love them now. I live in blue with occasional forays into burgundy/plum and stronger shades of teal. I get frustrated when shops are full of that more bricky deep red because that looks dreadful on me.

[toffee1000]

I did a quick online thing with Kettlewell colours and I'm a warm autumn (red hair, hazel eyes, pale skin with probably warm-ish undertones). They sent a catalogue/booklet through the door recently and it was a bit disappointing. There wasn't much available for Autumn, and what there was I did not like much. Some things I was drawn to were supposedly for Springs/Summers (mainly lighter blues than just navy/kingfisher). I don't like khaki or brown which unfortunately seem to be Autumn colours, they just look so drab and boring!!

[Tatapie]

Toffee try some autumn greens and beiges near you face first and see how you look and feel. I had colour analysis with a friend who was autumn and she was gutted, thought dull! But she looks fabulous and elegant!

[NoMoreStickers]

I have always thought I was a winter but I look best in mustard, forest green and bright red, general 'jewel' tones.... maybe I've been wrong all this time.

[toffee1000]

Green I quite like because it goes well with red hair. It was more the shades of blue that I was drawn to were labelled as spring/summer. I guess it wouldn't hurt to wear a couple of those colours sometimes, just that autumn colours would look best.

Thanks for this thread! I'm. A winter but lately I keep thinking about a dark orange shirt I used to love when I was younger...
