Cannot make head nor tail of what colours I am....

[Alltheleavesonthetreesarefalling]

Hi All, I have looked and done the questions on line and the like but still dont know what are my colours! Can anybody help please or am I being really dim with those online sites.

Im quite pale, natural ash/light long blond hair, green eyes, blue to light green veins, prob a bit paler as I live overseas but wear factor 50 on face and arms, rest of me never sees the light of day (wear rash vests etc in pools, I do tan if not covered up).

Im in the UK for a few months and need some winter clothing, jumpers, trousers etc. I do tend to lean towards very bright clothes, mix of plain and patterned I dont shy away from colour at all.

Oh and I'm 58! Any suggestions please🤔

For fun I did the quiz linked earlier. Can confirm that if I wore the colours suggested I'd look like I had jaundice.

I do think this is a good basic test of undertone - I look terrible in white, but am ok in cream (still not fabulous - I don’t really suit very light or very dark colours). It’s a funny thing to get your head around - I look unpleasantly pink in white, which many people would say makes me cool - but my skin looks a much better colour in cream (more golden, more glowing). It’s quite nuanced I think, draping is the best way.

They probably have to get fake tanned to look good.

I've never worn fake tan. I can't begin to imagine a scenario where I'd ever think of wearing fake tan to make me "look good" or that fake tan looks good.

Well I am glad I am not the only one who was confused by the whole colour thing!

My jumpers have arrived and love all the colours esp the burnt orange (is that autumn?) but the blue is also lovely (is that summer?)

Orange is usually autumn. There are blues in every season, so it will depend on the tone (I’m autumn and can only really wear ‘blues’ that have a lot of green in them, but there are blues in the autumn palette).

I find it tricky as well

I was analysed years ago by CMB as a spring flowing into Summer.

My hair was light brown but grey now and my eyes are blue. My skin is fair and I don't tan well.

I think I look better in warmer shades but not peach or orange.

Not sure about my veins, I wear a lot of blue anyway

I had a style analysis (body shape and colours) done a few years ago by ‘Style by Suzie’ and was diagnosed as an autumn and a pear. If I wear these colours, (and the right shape clothing), I get compliments. I’m no supermodel either, but a post- menopausal, 50+ year old woman.

I agree.
The personality thing is garbage.
I did that Kettlewell quiz.
It wouldn’t allow me to put my own answer to Where did you hear about Kettlewell- there were quite a few options but none mentioned Mumsnet. 🙄
I gave up.
I do think their colours are good though re the different seasons.
It’s the Quiz that needs a refresh.

Zombie thread.

I know it’s a zombie thread but it’s something I am interested in.
I still can’t tell if I am Light Spring or Light Summer.
Sometimes my veins look green and sometimes blue.
Light Summer’s lilacs and dove greys don’t suit me. But many of the other colours do.
Pale pink, bright fuschia pink, pale blue, turquoise, peach, and mint green look good on me.
