12 SEASON COLOUR ANALYSIS
Sometimes Basic Colour Analysis may not represent some of us and because there are other combinations which this analyse could not cover. For example, you may have cool skin but warm eye and hair colours. Therefor more in-depth season colour analysis has been developed which consist 12 or 16 different colour plates. We will cover 12 Season Colour Analysis here.
This analysis focus on one additional dimention to basic one which is called Saturation. Saturation is the intensity or purity of the color. Low saturated colour have more weak, muted and greyish, high saturated colours are more bright and clear.
1.Temperature /Undertone : WARM-yellow based or COOL-blue based
2.Value/Contrast : DARK/DEEP or LIGHT
3.Saturation : BRIGHT/CLEAR OR MUTED/SOFT
SPRING and WINTER colours are more bright and clear while SUMMER and AUTUMN colours are more soft and muted. Adding one more dimension to colour analysis results more accurate 12 season colour analysis by allowing the seasons to overlap of flow to each other.Therefore this is also called "FLOW THEORY”.
Every primary season is divided into 3 sub categories where the main seasons overlap and the new season is created. For example, Soft Autumn is between Summer and Autumn which has warm features of its main season but also has intensity characteristic from Summer.
How are the colours determined for each season?
- SPRING colours are warm, light and clear (yellow base) and have tinted variations.
- AUTUMN colours are warm, deep and muted (more yellow and less blue base mix) and have shaded and toned variations.
- WINTER colours are cool, deep and clear (blue based) and have shaded and tinted variations.
- SUMMER colours are cool, light and muted (more blue and less yellow base mix) and have toned variations.
