Can anyone help me work out which ‘season’ colouring I am

Because every quiz I do gives me a different answer but I’d be interested to know to explore make up shades and maybe try some new colour combinations that might work well on me.

I’ve got mid brown hair, with a warm undertone (was a redheaded toddler), light (quite striking) blue eyes, my skin tans quite easily and is more olive than pink but not dark. My skin, hair, eyes are medium contrast, they used to be higher contrast.

I’m a mishmash of backgrounds. Southern French (but not Mediterranean looking) mother, Anglo Irish-Lithuanian (ethnically Ashkenazi Jewish) father.

The colour that I always get compliments on is a deep cornflower blue. I think I also suit navy, mid blue, cobalt, cream, warm brown and look best in deep but not too bright colours.

DD and I were trying to work out my colouring from online quizzes and I’ve come out so far as variants of all four seasons!

Any ideas of what palette I might be closest to? Or even just different clothes/ make up colours I could try based on my (odd!) colouring.

An old school friend is a "Colourist"! I must admit I was impressed with her. The colours I steer towards are the colours which suit me but it turns out some of the colours I've always avoided also suit my colouring. She draped colour swatches around my neck/chest and I could see for myself. She told me most people have one season which predominantly suits but colours from other seasons can look good too.
She gave me a wallet of all the colours, that suit, and I now have it with me so I don't waste time on colours which are not me 😀

Or look at celebrities and see what they are coded as.
So, Joan Collins for instance, would be a typical Winter (to use the old terminology). The Queen (Elizabeth!) was a Summer. Julia Roberts = Autumn and Cameron Diaz - Spring.

This is enlightening.
Thank you.

What is Kate Middleton ?

Sophie Edinburgh ?

They’re both summers!

The colour swatches are the best thing to get hold of. I'm a definite autumn and my friend is a spring.
