Neither scenario works out really well unless you're just really good at it. You may try to recreate the colors blindly from memory or with a reference, or you may try to use an eyedropper to pick out specific colors that capture the essence of the photograph. Maybe you've been here before: you see a harmonious photograph and you want to replicate the colors somewhere. But if colors are wrong, it can make a design stick out like a sore thumb.
If colors are working in a design, they are instantly pleasing and you may not even notice them.
#YOUR PERSONAL COLOR PALETTE FROM IMAGE FULL#
What you gravitate towards most will presumably be the colours, bright or soft, that always make you feel amazing and full of confidence.There's something to be said for a beautiful color palette in a design or art composition. Have a think about your personality, who and what you want to present through your colour choices and look at the dominance of colours in your current wardrobe. For this reason I prefer the four seasons colour theory be used as a reference point only. Bright and soft colours represent different personalities and therefore it is likely you will have a preference based simply on your personality traits and what you wish to portray in your clothing selections. Which season you fit into relates to your undertones combined with wether bright or soft colours are more flattering to your complexion.Īs well as colours being flattering I believe the second tier of colour analysis also depends a lot on personal preference. The traditional colour theory of the four seasons, which most of us are familiar with, is a great tool to illustrate how cool and warm undertones relate to bright and soft colours.īlue undertones are attributes of the cool colour seasons, Winter and Summer, while yellow undertones are attributes of the warm colour seasons, Spring and Autumn. Use these images to help clarify your colouring: A preference for silver jewellery indicates cool colouring and gold jewellery indicates warm colouring. If you're married, what colour are your wedding rings? Take a look at your collection of jewellery and see if one tone features more heavily. Another indicator can be a simple question of whether you wear gold or silver jewellery? Even if you switch it up and wear both gold and silver jewellery it’s likely you lean towards one more than the other. That being said, you will almost always have a slightly stronger connection to one or the ntinue on to the next step.ģ. If red is coming through strongest then lucky you, this means you can swing between cool and warm. If you see mostly blue then you are cool or mostly yellow then you are warm. Holding your hands flat with palms facing up decide if you see blue, red or yellow most predominantly.
Using the palms of your hands is another great way to help determine your undertone. Visit your local fabric store if you don’t have gold and silver fabric available. However, if you prefer not to do this or you are unsure of which colour is most flattering for you then continue on to the next step.Ģ.
#YOUR PERSONAL COLOR PALETTE FROM IMAGE SKIN#
Think of 'most flattering' as the colour that works more harmoniously with your skin tone and hair colour. Silver indicates you have cool colouring and gold indicates warm colouring. The first and usually most obvious indicator of your undertone is to decide whether a silver or gold sheath of fabric held around your neck and near your face is most flattering. Use one or all three of the following steps to decide your undertone:ġ. If you are wearing makeup it should be matched to your skin tone anyway so you will get the same result. To start make sure you have natural lighting, this is key! Whether you are wearing makeup or not doesn’t matter so much, go with your usual day to day beauty routine.
