16 Seasonal Color Types | How to Know Your Color Type?

Today I'm introducing you 16 seasonal color types. Why they are essential to understand and practice? Because proper colors make our appearance shine and wrong colors are destroying our looks. Moreover, when we know our ideal colors we can create a cohesive and gorgeous wardrobe and have colors that mix & match together without an issue.

Here are several gorgeous examples of how color types work. When we are wearing our colors we look young, fresh, and radiant. For example, the black hair on Angelina Jolie makes her look tired and aged. Jamie Lee is definitely has a cool color type and cannot handle warm colors. Look how much younger she looks on the left! Brooke Shields is a Soft Winter and warm, bright colors give her an unpleasant red undertone.

I hope you see the difference and ready to learn about 16 color types! I'm not going to go in-depth in each of them but rather introduce you to the system and explain the importance of knowing your colors!

I'm sure you're familiar with 4 or 12 color types. These two are the most common systems that are widely practiced. However, they are not complete and leave out several color types! If you're were typed in 12 color types system there is maybe a chance that you're were typed wrong. (oops).

This is why the 16 color types system is the most efficient and complete one. It has 4 seasons: winter (cold), spring (warm), summer (cold), and fall (warm). However, each season is going to be decided into 4 groups: Pure, Tinted (Soft Light), Toned (Dark Light), and Shaded. These are the main characteristic of appearance.

It's really important to clearly understand your color type to get the best results. This can be done virtually or in-person. But what exactly you get when you learn about your color type? What are the advantages and what is the color book?

Let's see an example of Light Summer Color Type. Light Summer characteristics are: light + light, soft + cold. This means that colors with such qualities are going to look the best on this color type. 

Here is an example of a color palette for Light Summer. If you're working with me you also getting KEY COLORS that should be placed near a portrait zone. Why? Because not all colors in your palette are going to look amazing in your portrait zone. But key colors can solve this issue and make your appearance shine. If you don't know key colors in your palette it's going to be hard to apply them.

After you've received your palette and key colors it becomes extremely easy to create outfits. First of all, all colors are easily combined with each other. Second, all these colors are going to look great for your color type. Third, no more worries and headaches at stores! Does it sound great?
