Create your color palette: for WARM skin undertones ǀ CAPSULE WARDROBE GUIDE ǀ Justine Leconte

[@justineleconte]

The video about building a color palette for COOL undertones is now online too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnW3mXWFe7yXsNk 😘

[@valeriemalliris4918]

Absolutely love all these videos and looking forward to the black/white/grey. I have the hardest time telling my vein color!

[@tonyotienokothieno171]

I am warm but I dislike this colors😢

[@AC00009]

I love jewel tones, I can do both warm and cool, but pastels make me look ill. Love this series!

[@katiemueller4978]

SAME. Pastels look horrible on me!

[@bellycurious]

Me too.

[@alphazunitee]

exactly. I hate pastels on me with a burning passion. I look sicly. Buy jewel colors - I always get compliments when I wear my fave deep purples, deep greens and deep reds. :)

[@Elspm]

Same, I think it may be that I'm more "olive". Also, pastels make me look like a corpse.

[@gaiafox]

same!

[@sampadaregmi5107]

Justine this new color series is so helpful ps love how you matched your lipstick color to the color of your blouse❤

[@tamirajohnelle4700]

It’s interesting that when you added black it created a camo color range. That’s why the camo colors work in harmony with one another. Gosh this is so good!

[@zigm7420]

I love this! Now it's making sense why I'm drawn to brown and navy instead of black, as a slightly warm toned person, and why I like my browns/camels and aqua greens and blues together - they're complementary, if you account for the pure hues!

[@MarielaInojosa]

Loving this color series so far! As a warm-colored myself, I find it soooo hard to resist the urge for cool hues :( A major change came when I bought a beautiful orange dress for my birthday last year and I discovered how big the difference is when you wear colors that match your skin and don't compete with it.

[@MarielaInojosa]

@@Beteljess you mean Justine's video? Not at all. I don't know if you've seen her previous videos, but she has been very vocal about personal style and high quality clothing. She even has several videos against fast fashion and excessive buying.

[@MarielaInojosa]

​@@Beteljess I mean, you can wear whatever color you like, that's not the point of the video. I think she's just trying to show which colors will look better depending on your skin tone. This isn't something exactly new, she's just structuring it on a video series. I think everyone has an item of clothing that gets them compliments such as "that color looks amazing on you!" And that's what she's trying to show in this video, the colors that will give you that special glow. I love some shades of pink, even the ones that are too cold for me. Will I stop wearing them? No. But I'll definitely try to find warmer shades in the future. That doesn't mean I'll be throwing my pink rain boots away.

[@mareeak]

@@MarielaInojosa very well answered. I wanted to say the same :) I think in the next video she might add pink to our palette as it is red+white :D

[@kchez110]

I am also warm and have a great orange dress for the summer. I wish it was not so hard to find clothes based on a warm palette all year round.

[@sameenfatima143]

As a cool person i have trouble resisting warm toned colours

[@ErikaMDraws]

I’m going to be a little bit annoying, I do apologise in advance since I’m sure you already know these tidbits that I find missing. One of my main AHA moments with colour students was when I revealed to them that their long-standing view of the colour palette division of cool and warm divided in half was narrow. That there are, in fact, cool yellows and warm blues; that the temperature in them could also be accentuated by the surrounding chroma depending on the proportion of the sample, and that there were so many more unexplored possibilities once they opened that door. The other thing I find missing is a deeper dive in olive undertones. We can be both cool and warm, as well! I do appreciate that these two tangents of information can over complicate a short, easy video, but since you’re a very good communicator and you are doing a series, I dare say a lot of people would love to go in depth at this possibility of expression.

[@amandam7837]

Can’t wait for the cool toned video

[@e_kychkina9170]

👏🏼 Thank you very much for your contribution into popularizing the basics of color theory! I am on the warm side of the color wheel, and I’ve replaced “standard neutrals” in my wardrobe with warm, earthy tones. I have always seen that pure black&grey&white do not suit me well, but I worked in the bank and I was somewhat restricted by corporate dresscode. I did what I could to flow towards warm pallette, i.e. choosing a milky white or cream white rather than blueish or greyish white etc. In the last few years I’ve left that job to become accessories designer and I am gradually changing all my wardrobe basics into beige/orange/terracotta/brown with a pops of grass green, olive green, yellow, coral, red and everything that looks good on me. Still have some black and white clothes, but much less than before and I’m really happy about it. I like to dress colorfully and I feel great wearing colors, even pure hues.

[@tamirajohnelle4700]

I agree it IS a pity. There’s so much that can be done with color.

[@Nanamka]

Thank you! As an autumn colour type - this is exactly what I started to do and now my drying rack usually looms like a painting. Because the colours match so well together and there are so many different colours. Thank you for the tips on how to build a monochrome outfit, that looks very colourful and joyfull. And my appreciacion on how pedagogically well built your series is. ♥️

[@honeybeejourney]

Justine, I am so happy to watch your videos. My grandmother was French and she taught me soooo much about fashion. I adore your videos because they remind me so much about Juliette, my granmere who I loved so much.

[@IevaKambarovaite]

I love this so much. I'd watch 1hr live video on this seeing how you play with colours in real life. I learn so much from you 💕

[@irnalonso]

This is the best explanation of color theory applied to style I have ever seen. The way you say it not only makes sense but it easy to remember!

[@elizablack4472]

My entire wordrobe is black, blue and green, and i just realised I have warm toned skin... Face palm! That's why I always look tired and deppresed!

[@amikrenzel5788]

I am going to watch this video a few more times so I can really understand this. I am warm undertone and love brights but I love how you are mixing more muted colors to this to really add depth. Love this!

[@kimaniisaac596]

Eagerly awaiting the cool toned version of this series

[@iluvmugglenet2564]

Thank you for another succinct explanation of the colour palates. I have a more yellow-warm undertone and realised I naturally tend to gravitate towards corals and earthy browns for my lipsticks. I'll now consciously try to include these in my wardrobe as well :)

[@justineleconte]

this is a very good learning 👏👏👏

[@raquelpintoribeiro]

What a great topic! I've been dwelving all my life with color issues in my wardrobe. I think I may have warm undertone but cool greens, blues and greys suit me the most. These are very hard to find in stores because most collections (specially winter collections) gravitate a lot arround beije. It´s the worse color ever for me because it makes me look sick like anemic sick. It´s very frustrating because it matches everything and I find it very pleasing to the eye. However I'm sticking to your advice and choosing what looks good on me. Best thing ever. I narrowed down my wardrobe by 80% and I feel much happier. Thank you Justine!

[@Chappysmom]

I love playing colors, but my challenge these days is that my skin tone is warm (my wardrobe is full of golden-warm-browns, golds, reds--basically, my closet is eternally Autumn), but now I need to balance that with my cool-toned naturally gray hair which really pops with cool tones! That burgundy shirt, by the way, is fabulous!

[@lenka156]

I have the same problem: a wardrobe full of darker warm tones and my new hair (Before an operation they shaved them all and they grow back whitout the warm tones. I think my age adds to it.). My hair is mostly mid- to darker neutral brown with some greys. I toned down the colors in my wardrobe and wear more neutral with them - it helped. But Im still sorry, I couldn't wear my golden browns with my bright yellows in one outfit anymore. I will incorporate them like accessories - according to Justina's proposal.

[@Lotna]

Same here, I have warm undertones, and now white hair. I used to look nice in deep browns and reds, now the reds not so much. I never wore pastels and I looked horribly in greys, now grey looks nice, and pastels even nicer, including blue... It’s a bit confusing. :) Someone on another channel said that with grey/white hair pastels are out and we should wear dark colours and black. I look a hundred years old in black and sick, plus I really don’t like black, so definitely no black for me. Braun still looks nice though. I wonder what Justine would say about this.

[@alonew]

You are the still the most educational creator among all the ones I'm subscribed to.. I so enjoy when you show colour cards for example, coz when people just verbally describe or show it on screen it's hard to understand what it will look like in the physical world under natural light !!

[@zofiele]

Justine, you look sooo beautiful in that ruby shirt!

[@liznewark]

love this color series!! I love orange, corals and browns

[@jenniferbastolla1197]

Thank you for mentioning brown as a neutral! I am a very fair autumn, and black looks terrible on me. There is not enough talk of brown as the alternative. I love wearing color too- all the ones you mentioned, and any warm orange is my favorite!

[@lenka156]

You look fabulous in this dark warm red (bordó). I remember your old video a few years ago, but this was better for me. I know my color type and the colors that look good on me, and yet your illustrations with color swatches give me an even deeper understanding.

[@gautamiroy2169]

I am so enjoying this series. Playing with colours is my thing!

[@sirribeckline6844]

Wow. This was so helpful. I'm in the process of creating my colour palette. I have also been choosing middle hues like Coral and Golden yellow. I was elated to see that you recommended such a combination

[@Esther4Gsus]

You are very at explaining the color analysis things. I have watched many gurus clips but yours is the easiest to understand and to apply! You’re awesome!!!!

[@leastiller5956]

I feel like I'm entering a new stage in my life and I'm trying to build a wardrobe that really suits me and is sustainable, also in the way that I'll want to wear the new clothes for quite a while. On top of that, it's been a year where so many of my clothes have gotten holes in them, discoloured, worn out,... they are just no longer wearable. So I'm looking forward to the rest of these colour videos to help me build a wardrobe that really suits me :))

[@LOL-jj7rf]

Thank you Ms. Justine for your videos on color palette. I knew already what colour suits me and it made me feel better.

[@MissDee4420]

The way you explain color theory is so much easier to understand and will help me look at colors so differently when I shop for clothes. Thank you

[@amygregg1658]

You are brilliant, Justine! I’ll say it again. A modern day Da Vinci. I love your scientific, left-brain breakdowns of creative, right-brain topics. Just brilliant!

[@fishnsyd]

I love the earthy colors. Hoping you share some similar options for cool undertones!

[@kathieloueldridge2974]

i have a warm undertone and cool skin tone. I worked in color analysis at one time and write for a color analysis group on Facebook. This is a great video Justine. I must add it's also important to know if one looks best in clear chroma colors with black or white added or muted colors with black or white added. It's the entire combination of hair, eyes and skin that makes one warm or cool. I look great in browns, olives, navy and camelsetc. Black, jewelt ones, and pastels wash me out. I love color. The psychological effect that happens when people find the colors that really flatter them can never be overlooked.

[@SM-hn5le]

We are lucky to have you on this platform!

[@korinaviado3333]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@vylia]

I love the burgundy and wine tones. I move towards black and dark colours, but this series makes me wonder if I should explore brilliant ones. Thanks for the tips, Justine!

[@lana7422]

Thank you so very much. I have been working on a color palette for a while now, as I draft and make much of my own classic office-type wear. I am a natural blonde, but with yellow undertones, and needed some fine tuning as to hues in the choices of fabric colors I choose. As to jewelry, I love silver, but recently found that a pale gold that has pink undertones works best against my skin color.

[@p852p]

Thanks Justine. Love your videos for years now. I'm Asian but not yellow... And finally I can understand how to work with my tone. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@vesper9547]

Thanks Justin... I love your no nonsense videos... You don't waste my time. Yet the videos have appropriate information.

[@Lanzascoloradas]

Your videos are addictive, I learn a lot about style and fashion with you. Thank you.

[@belowthetamaracks]

Thank you so much Justine! I find understanding my best colours to be terribly challenging!

[@wallzorz50]

As the last woman said, I'm the opposite, cool but I do love coral. Can't wait for the cool mix, I loved how you added black and showed us such an array of brown. We forget how versatile it is.

[@MarrLJ]

Ahh now I understand why I love both yellow and kaki so much! Thanks Justine :) I guess I will combine them more in one outfit as well.

[@esther2312]

Hi Justine! Thank you for making this series about colour, a topic I am very interested in! A few years ago I discovered through a colour analysis that I have a warm skin undertone and since then, I always look for what I call ‘autumn colours’. And you’re right: when you’ve build up your wardrobe around (in my case: tuned) colours, the combinations are endless 😊! Again: thanks for this inspiring and interesting video!

[@kayelle8005]

Between Trinny and Justine you can’t go wrong with understanding colour in your wardrobe

[@260480life]

Wow, this is so eye-opening! I am always struggling to find colors that suit me, and this video helped me feel more confident about choosing colors! Thank you so much Justine! Looking forward to new episodes!

[@cin-dmarie]

I love colour on other people, but the toned down suits my skintone, personal style and personality (it’s also the designer and architects uniform 😄) with a pop on lips 💋 Loving this series!

[@difioriacqua]

As an Asian girl whose skin is fair to medium with a warm-leaning neutral undertone, I am most used to wearing white, grey, and some earthy colors such as Khaki green and muted pink. But I do find that I might actually look better and a lot more energized if I add one to two more saturated colors to my outfit. Will try to expand my wardrobe by experimenting with some cooler pinks, purples, and blues in the future. This series is helpful!

[@charlottemacdonald4167]

Thank you for the video. I am a Warm Spring and have worn my warm tone colors for years. I always feel good and everything I buy goes together. Glad to see you embracing this. It's such fun, as well. .

[@auroracharming5531]

I love the brightest colours!

[@takanoha94]

Justine, thank you for your great content! I love this series about color theory. This video just reassured me that I'm doing things right in my wardrobe. All the clothes I wear look exactly like the second and third row of the warm colors mixed with black + the peachy pink. I love to wear my burgundy culottes with a peachy- old rose ribbed turtleneck and some gold or rose gold coloured jewellery.

[@CoolMaisa]

I have noticed that what ever the color is, if it's dark enough (with added black) it will suit me. Purple is probably the only bright color from the wheel that suits me. My skin is yellowish and it has cool undertone. My veins actually look more like turquoise than blue or green. It's not a pretty combination to be honest, and neither gold or clean silver suit me very well. However copper and steel are both very good and old darkened silver too. This series is very interesting and helpful, thank you!

[@Katyyaaaa]

Thanks for the video it really helped me understand why I instinctively gravitated towards certain colours while choosing my clothes. I have a warm undertone for sure (not too much since muted warm colors suit me better than bright colours) but I still look good in some cool colours like Electric blue, Aubergine, and Lilac....etc which honestly is a mistary to me.

[@kflouv]

Thank you for the jewelry tip! That brass and copper go better than gold with very warm colors is new information for me. Would love to see the various colors of your jewelry placed on top of the cards.

[@yensid4294]

It's been difficult finding brown/camel/rust neutrals the last few seasons. (I've had to rely on olive as a basic )Black, grey & pantone fashion color of the year have dominated every Fall/Winter for a long time. I was finally able to find a wool coat in camel just last Xmas & another shorter coat in caramel this sale season. I was so pleased. I wear a lot of peach/coral/salmon, yellow-greens both muted & bright, & red-violets. I already have plenty of white, black & light grey in my wardrobe & have been trying to incorporate more tans & browns in jackets, bags & shoes to go with the warmer colors of my wardrobe. I've been color analyzed twice-the first time I was told Autumn & the second time Warm Spring. They are both warm but there is a different intensity & feel to the palettes.The Warm Spring palette seemed more flattering although at first it felt very bright & a little too girly lol compared to the earth tones & black I had been wearing from the Autumn. But I always get more compliments when I wear those feminine "spring" colors, it never fails.

[@claireschoeller4973]

Great video breaking down colours and I like the brighter lighter colours as I am fair haired. Looking forward to the next video with neutrals. Merci beaucoup.

Fantastic, thanks! Best I've seen this topic addressed! I lean towards the reds, but a bit toned down. A burgundy or plum, but not cool. Can't think of the color I'm trying to describe, but it's a heavy part of my wardrobe. It always gets me the "wow that color looks great on you" reaction.

[@juliamiller6947]

Yes these are the colors that looks best with my warm skin-coral, peach, vermillion (some mustards look awful, they can be cool) wine, khaki, olive warm oatmeal color, and that warm pumpkin spice brown heck yes. But also.... turquoise, navy, and a rich royal blue and very green green loom great.

[@beautyofdawn9565]

I'm a warm olive tone, and it can be soo hard to find colours that compliment not just the warm, but the yellowy-green... for example I look terrible in khaki but a lot of warmer toned people look great in it! This was a great video- I love how helpful this series is!

[@paulacoelho7733]

thank you justine i was looking forward for this video, now looking forward for the next in the series. i've a warm undertone and i'm very attracted by the tuned down warm tones, and now I understand why I have so many brown pieces, they are my neutral!

I’m a fall season, woman with yellow undertones and a peaches and cream complexion. I had my coloring done in the late 1990s. I wear only my colors, and get complements about how well I wear browns and oranges. Alas, no pinks or blues or blacks. Love your channel.

[@valodimopoulou8865]

I am very fair neutral with slightly warm undertones. Warm colors make me look pasty so I opt for muted warms,burnt orange is my favorite! Being neutral I am lucky enough to be able to wear everything but in the muted form. Bright hues look garish on me. Excelent video Justine!

[@susanstewart1402]

Excellent system .. thank you, Justine. I am somewhere between soft and bright, and warm-neutral. Hazel eyes (slate, olive, gold-brown), golden brown hair. Your explanation has been very helpful. Customization is important. Your combinations are more sophisticated. Makeup is a bit mysterious. I just have to try everything, and not have a closed mind. Then, once I have finally found a great lipstick, the manufacturer discontinues it. Every time.

[@eleanormarshall455]

So this is why everyone likes my mustard jumper and beige coat. Thank you, Justine

[@jcnyvall1136]

Hi Justine, I'm a cool winter person and quite pale skinned. I love brown with a blue undertone and I use it as a neutral. I prefer it to grey. I feel brown has more depth... think crushed velvet. Oddly enough too when I wear corald I get lots of compliments.

[@kchez110]

Thank you so much for this series. I am warm. This video resonates with me. I wish I had the color cards to use when shopping for clothes. I will anxiously await every new video in this series.

[@SusieMac262]

Definitely warm. For this winter I’m doing a palette of green/cream/black; warm burgundy or maroon and brown or black; and pumpkin or rust, brown and sage green. For anything cooler like black I will use away from face. I do plan on wearing navy pants with burgundy or wine top.

[@NicTC26]

I love your videos. They go more in depth about colouring than other folks do (at least in ways I can understand). As someone on the olive-skin spectrum, I’m still unpacking my undertone and colour palette. To answer your questions: the I gravitate toward bright cool colours, but darker or muted warm colours (deep reds and greens, but earthier/ dark browns). Pure gold makes me look too yellow and I’ll. Bronze, copper, (and silver) make my skin shine…at least this is how I interpret my colouring. Eagerly awaiting your next videos - especially the ones covering neutrals! 😅😀

Merci, Justine! Coming later than usual to this one, but wow, so informative & fun. Excellent application of color theory. I love the technique of using a shade of the pure hue as a neutral base for a wardrobe palette. I learn so much from you. Looking forward to the cool lesson next time!

I definitely liked the tones down hues, but I still couldn't wear them. I am very excited for the video for cool tones. I have been told that I have extremely cool co!oring, which made sense of a few experiences I have had. I once had a lovely grey shirt that was apparently such an unflattering shade on me that people asked me if I was ill EVERY TIME I wore it. Every single time! I loved every other thing about that shirt, but I took the hint and gave it away.

[@livchapman8051]

I am cool and grey looks fine on me. But I am learning it is sometimes about your undertone. I have pink/red undertones and pink and grey are complimentary so kinda makes sense.

[@dianak4124]

Love your video, Justine! It’s amazing how much things change, once you wear the “right” colors! I always thought that I understand aesthetics really well, but only recently I have discovered that I was wearing the wrong colors most of the time! Pandemics really gave much free time for us. I used it for studying things on youtube, incl. color analysis :)) So now I’m really “shining” in my delicate warm colors and rose gold jewellery☺️ I repeat the same mutted colors in my make-up (browns, greens, rose tones) and it works perfectly! Not even mentioning how amazing it is when your wardrobe finally works and you can mix and match everything!
