Calling colour analysis gurus

I'm trying to give my crappy drab mum look an uplift and colour analysis seems to be where it's at but I seem to fall weirdly in between any online guides I can find.

Can anyone fit me into a 'season'?

I seem to have a completely neutral skin tone. I'm very pale and burn easily, never tan but I'm more grey than blushing pink. Veins sit right in between green and blue, couldn't say if gold or silver look best but know that black and bright white wash me out.

My eyes are a weird mix of every colour but the overall effect is a grey that's not particularly cool.
My natural hair is mousey light brown but was slightly golden blondish as a child. It's currently dyed blonde, more yellow than ash.

I'm planning on doing a Styled by Susie analysis but money is tight so I need to shop in my own wardrobe and second hand for now.

I'd say you are a 'soft' in the Colour me beautiful system. Which, I think, is lovely. You need to work out if you are more cool than warm though. I thought I was v neutral but have been 'diagnosed' as warm and cool seasons...!

Do you look better in a light coral pink or a more candyfloss sugary pink? Or try a cool emerald green against a leaf (slightly more yellow) green (if that makes any sense at all)?

I think you probably need to see somebody in real life and look at what certain colours do to your face - whether you look more or less tired, have more obvious mouth shadows/wrinkles, look like you have been binging on junk food or drinking lots of water etc.

Having said all that, I think there is a lot to be said for wearing colours you like and feel comfortable in. Then you'll be happier and look better anyway!
