COLOUR ANALYSIS: My Grey Hair looks BAD with These Colours!

[@cymo512]

I think you are a Soft Autumn. Try Carol Brailey in Canada - for an online colour analysis. You won’t regret it.

[@notblondeswede]

Yes, I agree. The softs can borrow from eachother, so maybe she was warmer before.

[@harpgal9950]

Carol did my analysis - she's good. I'm a true autumn. I have white hair, but it's a warm white and if I wear colors that are too cool, it washes me right out. Rust, olive green and teal green seem to be my best.

[@biomem9054]

Online colour analysis is unreliable and often inaccurate. There are too many variables that can't be controlled, like computer monitors and artificial lighting. The fuchsia drape (at 4:50) is a great demonstration of this. It doesn't look fuchsia in the video, so #myover50fashionlife has to tell us it's fuchsia. I know virtual analysis offers people a less expensive option to in-person analysis, but ultimately it's waste of money. You simply can't accurately determine a person's colour tone or type by looking at them on-screen.

[@soarpurpose]

@@biomem9054 the lighting issue is in person and with camera/video. Some people are charging outrageous prices.

[@cu4wur6023]

I’ve got hazel eyes too so this is very interesting to me. Being in my early 60’s and salt and pepper grey I’m aware that certain colours I used to wear don’t suit me and I don’t know what to do with my hair. I’ve list my identity. Maybe this will steer me in the right direction. I wore a lot of brown but I feel flat wearing brow now. I recently bought a lovely lilac knitted shawl style cardigan and the colour did wonders for me. It’s just so difficult, also FINDING clothes for over 60 that are fashionable! PS I like mustard too 🤭🫶🏻🇬🇧

[@paulab9148]

fabulous video. I'm very similar colouring to you so this is truly "on point". I used to be an autumn and now find cooler colours to be more flattering. Grey was never in my palette and now it looks fabulous on me. I never considered fuchsia, but it it is stunning on you. Sadly, I have said good bye to the orange and mustard families. I'm finding eggplant (aubergine) colours work well with me. Again, thank you for the fabulous post

[@amandahuby871]

love the moss green on you , pink looks amazing xx

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you!! I like it too. Because its soft and deep it works, as my result was soft, deep, cool. soft and deep dominant.

[@alexandrasmith7682]

I had my colours done by CMB in the 1980's. I walked in, she saw my dyed auburn hair and pronounced me an Autumn. She then struggled to get the Autumn shades to work for me ..... And most didn't. Had she been honest, she should have said that she had jumped to the wrong conclusion. I was left with eight colours that I should stick with. Later, I had it redone and turned out that I am Cool Summer.

[@Rnjeepshoelver]

I like the bright colors on you as well

[@lynnroney1234]

With my grey, getting close to white hair I have found that the only thing I can’t get away with is brown/beige. I can now wear colors I never could before when I had my natural extremely dark hair. It’s opened me up to wearing other color palettes. Hooray for grey hair!

@@SueRosalie I agree. And draping people with several colours at once means those colours are interacting with each other as we look at them, so we can't tell which ones work with the client's skin tone.

I am so glad you did this, I love your gorgeous gray hair, when you started wearing colors that go well with gray hair you just lit up! I have always been light blonde and blue eyed. I am in my 70's now, my hair is smoky with gray highlights.My palette had always been a spring and something just did not look right with those pastel colors anymore. When I went to the purples, periwinkles, and blues it complemented me so much more. The moral here to me is, your color palette can change as you age! You look great in your new lovely colors. You definitely do not look like an autumn with your gray hair. Good for you, start shopping NOW! And do'n't forget to model them for us! Ann in Dallas

[@cherylatkinson6060]

Wearing the colors that look good on you make all the difference. Nice to have a color analyst to help you find the best colors for you to wear.

[@lucatolnai]

As a color consultant working with natural harmonies I find it so sad that CMB hasn't made the effort to better understand human skin, genetics and proper color theory. Let me clear some things up here: humans (as most mammals) have 2 melanins that give the coloration of their skin, hair and eyes: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Eumelanin is a dark pigment that brings contrast or deepness into someone's coloring. It can either be black or dark grey (cool) or brown (warm). Pheomelanin can be anything from pure red to pure yellow (which are considered cool if mixed with cool eumelanin in case of rosy and cool olive skin tones), but in between pure red and yellow everything is warm. Peachy, ivory, bronzy, warm olive skin tones are very diverse and beautiful, and harmonize with warm colours. OK now, the other misinformation in this video is everything the consultant said about GREY HAIR. EVERYONE has grey hair when they get older. It's a natural process, our melanocites just give up producing melanins after a while. Also, most people have cooler and darker hair coloring after the age of 25 because our melanocites start producing more eumelanin than pheomelanin, but this doesn't mean that we change colour type because our hair reacts differently to our hormonal changes. Hair changes a lot based on hormonal things, it shouldn't be considered as a basis for color consultation. The only thing the consultant should be checking is your skin color, in natural light, with no makeup on. MAKEUP IS CHEATING, because it helps hiding your wrinkles, shadows, undereye bags and discoloration. You can wear any colour as long as you have foundation on, the difference won't show. I'd love to see you in a lovely muted purple, with no makeup on. I'd be shocked if it didn't emphasize your undereye bags for example. With grey hair you can still have a beautiful warm skin tone, as you do - you look quite peachy to me, and your mustard yellow will perfectly harmonize with it. Please do not ditch your warm colours, you looked perfectly harmonious in them.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you. My consultation took 2 hours or so. This video is very condensed to 6 mins. It's a shame and pure bad luck that I did not include skin tone parts but I shall do a follow-up video. My second video will show that my dominant is soft and I can wear warm and cool if it is soft. Your comment is very interesting and it's clearly a complex topic.

[@cathwalsh9921]

Very interesting.

[@staceyl618]

I agree, she looks peachy and warm - the mustard yellow still looks quite good. She looks vibrant in those warmer colors and sort of dull and too muted in the cool.

[@cassieb1860]

You are dead on, in my opinion! I have never seen this woman on any video in my life. When she started talking about changing to cool because of grey hair I was yelling “wrong!!” loud enough for them to hear me from US. Personally, that mustard color was beautiful on her, even with make up. I was classified as a winter in the late 80’s-- with a head full of cool deep red-brown hair. All the red is now grey. I still wear the same colors, just not as vibrant. My skin tone never changed! SMH

[@brendawood6712]

Oh , please!

[@Pixie330-r1y]

I am so glad you did this. Many people say you cannot change 'palettes' and I have been confused. I too had red in my hair when I was young - but I am completely grey now.

[@juliemoses1909]

I thought you didn’t change palettes either, at least the warm and cool. My light golden brown hair went to ash brown by 40, now there’s a little silver coming in. I favor blue colors more now but I love fuschia and bright orange. I was a Spring in my 20’s.

[@kitty_s23456]

@@juliemoses1909 According to other analysts, you don't change your main season & undertone. If you were typed as spring/ autumn years before, it was probably true spring/ autumn. We may become softer/ more muted as we age, so we can go from true spring to light spring or true autumn to soft autumn. Hope that helps.

[@lesleywilkie2848]

I had a couple of CMB consultations and liked 'my colours'. When I was working (now retired) I decided to have navy as my base colour, trousers, skirts and a dress, chose colours from my pallet to make/buy tops, blouses, cardigans, t-shirts, scarves and jackets that all go with navy, and there is a lot of colours to chose from. Recently I decided on brown leather for shoes, sandals, boots, belts and handbags, brown goes surprisingly well with navy. This means I can dress in the dark, knowing it all goes together! Finally I sorted my make up - pinks, reds and naturals for lips and nails, browns, golds, bronzes and ivories for eyes. I have a couple of other colours to ring the changes. I am nearly 70 and finally feel sorted! Happy New Year everyone, best wishes from the UK!

I find as my hair goes greyer I have to amp up my colours quite a bit. I used to wear lots more pastels and neutrals when younger …. But now I have to have stronger “definite” colours in my top half. Definitely a tinge more cooler in tone but richer colours. I’d love to have my colours done because, as a guy in his 50s, I can’t add colour with a lipstick or blush…. Just a little bronzer and a shirt mostly 😂

They are just keepers no matter what color.

[@fionafrazer8820]

I'm of the opinion that if the colors really suited you in the first place (matched your skin tone and undertone) then they should still suit you now. If they don't , then they were wrong to begin with. I think the change in hair color just exacerbates how wrong they were.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I had 3 different analysis before when my hair was reddy brown. All were consistent. My surprise is switching to more cool toned. I was told I'd chsnge when i was grey but thought it would be towards spring. Still i think the new method incorporates some spring and some summer into my new pallette

[@lorrainegreen6782]

I completely agree, if her colors were correct in the first place just going gray wouldn’t change what suited her. Nature knows what it’s doing. Color theory is complex and many people don’t understand it as well as they think they do. Incorrect advice can come from various sources, for example hair stylists/colorists or a sales person at a department store makeup counter. When Carole Jackson wrote Color Me Beautiful in 1980, it was groundbreaking! My mom was a fair cool. I’m a fair warm. As a child my mom and I would argue about what colors my clothes should be. Carole’s book explained a lot to us!

I don't see how you could go cooltone, which is someone with blue undertone in their skin, from being a warm, which is someone with a golden undertone. However, I could see going more neutral. If you look at the soft seasonal palettes and the light seasonal palettes, you'll see that they have many similar colors in common. Light Spring, Soft Autumn, and Soft Summer share many colors that are soft, blue, plum, and pink. If you want to be safe until you have more experience with your hair color, you could stay within the crossover colors. Your analyst may not like the seasonal palettes, but they can be very useful for a visual reference. It's especially useful if you see the seasons as a spectrum, and not a set of boxes with hard boundaries.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you, and for your recent comments on many videos

[@SueRosalie]

Yes. Your skin undertone does not change over the course of your lifetime, The Seasonal system as used in Italy has 3 subgroups plus a total of 16 seasons and they work very well regardless of your hair greying with age. www.youtube.com/@colouranalysis_studio

The soft and cool colours wash you out. I am surprised the analyst cannot see it. I am not an analyst, but trained as a textile designer, then taught art and design on a degree course, so have had to learn a lot about colour and how it works. I have gone from deep and warm (deep autumn) to much softer, slightly warm colours, soft aquas, apricots, warm rosy pinks, all slightly cooler. I don't have grey hair, just dyed lighter and slightly less warm with age, as my eyes have lost the brown in the mix, going from warm, deep olive to cooler grey green. As I understand things, if you have warm skin, you still need some warmth in the colours as you age, otherwise you are getting shadows and lines appearing and look grey, rather than warm skintone. I feel the hair is of secondary importance (although obviously comes into play), try soft and warm (soft autumn), I feel that is going more in the correct direction.

I've always thought I was a soft autumn; hazel eyes, warm/neutral skintone and brown hair with a reddish glow as a child, but.... I've started dying my hair when I was 16 and only stopped last year when I was 54. I've never known what my true hair colour was all those years, just kept thinking "oh, I'm an autumn" based on the colours in my childhood. My hair is cool grey where it's framing my face and darkbrown with no reds or golds at the back of my head. I've had my colours done a couple of weeks ago and it turns out that the 'winter' colours look best on me; we've tried every colour available and the autumn colours were about the worst on me. 😅 I've bought two new blouses: one in purple and one emerald green and when I wear those, I look so much healthier than in my 'soft autumn' palette. (I secretly keep checking the mirror, it's such a metamorphoses! 🤫)Colour analysis is so tricky and confusing!

I am a big believer that you can wear any color it only matter how much, what a type of garment or accessories. This study looks at your skin, hair color and your lovely hazel eyes but your personality plays significant role in colours you will wear because that is who you are.

[@xhogun8578]

People forget that as we age our skin pigment changes. The outer skin layer becomes thinner. The number of cell layers remains unchanged. The number of pigment-containing cells however decreases. The remaining melanocytes increase in size. Aging skin looks thinner, paler, and clear (translucent). I am surprised this wasn't part of the conversation as the hair colouring is only one part of the equation. I think this is why it can look jarring when people maintain their original hair colour artificially.

The fuchsia brings out the pink in you lips and makes your eyes pop. It is a great color for you!

[@catherinegardner8407]

I work with color every day and taught design. Glad you see you are on the cool side! Colors were always easy for me. I never liked the yellow based colors and I am a "winter". I was true ashe blonde hair with green eyes. Get me near olive and I look like Kermit the frog!

[@clairewright8153]

I was a redhead/ auburn as I got older and now I’m grey in the front and a mushroom colour in the back. I have days were I miss my red hair and I’ll still wear mustard, I’ve found I just need a stronger makeup to pull it off. It’s hard to transition from your beloved colours into something completely different.

[@SueRosalie]

no need to, just softer versions of your best colours.

[@goldenrayofcentralsun1111]

Fuchsia makes your complexion look rosy👍. Love it on u.

[@barbiec4312]

Interesting!

[@mariemcgrath8681]

As I've turned more grey, so have my choices in colours changed. Actually I like the change.

[@TheBohemianStyle]

I determined I’m cool toned now that my silver hair is slowly growing in. Soft grey, silver, blue/grey, purple/grey look good on me but I find it hard to find clothes in these colours and to suit my body type.

[@Kcall1234]

She’s a bright spring!

[@SueRosalie]

No. Bright colours are too clear and overpowering for her.

[@laurasebakijje9008]

The pink and salmon yes lights up the face

[@lorigraham2496]

I'm a redhead, but my complexion is much more ruddy. I'm an autumn but don't expect that to change as my hair goes white. My hair is going peachy gold, not gray and I expect I will stay ruddy. Good advice to reevaluate just to be sure.

[@marthad5697]

Same with me, a bright redhead in youth, now in 60s and a strawberry blond. I do get red highlights applied quarterly, looks very natural as the red dye fades away, no demarcation lines! My best color is still Kelly green, wearing more warm reds. I seem to gravitate to more clear rather than muted color.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I still wear Kelly green. Its actually in my old pallette and my new one so its safe.

[@vivim29]

No sorry I can't tell if I agree as the shots of your face were not clear enough. It still looks like you have a warm undertone. You definitely suit soft colours, I think the terracotta and purple together would look great together. I think if you wear too many cool colours it won't look right either.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes my dominant is soft muted in both warm and cool colours and so that is really how I am going to interpret this. I have just edited some more clips to create a second video on skin and make up so keep watching for that to come our after the holidays.

[@leslieh3785]

I agree with this lady 💯!

[@hamali8126]

I was analyzed by Color Me Beautiful years ago as a summer. Which was right on. Now I'm 66 and going grey. Curious as to which colors are right for me now.

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. You were probably true summer then and a soft summer now. The original CMB system only had the 4 main seasons. Now there are the 12 or 16 seasonal systems. We usually become softer/ more muted as we age.

[@annbet3684]

Still the same

[@theresablanton6784]

Your blouse on video looks fluent on you.

[@lilybean1000]

I think the House of Colour system or Red Leopard is a more accurate color analysis. The process I just watched was very limited in scope.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Oh it went on for an hour and a half. I couldn't share all that. So i showed a flavour of what the cool warm part is like. We went into deep or light and soft or hard. I came out as cool soft deep.

[@marshmello1848]

I am an autumn but it does make me question the theory of it all as I've seen a couple like this now where people have 'changed'. Maybe it's all just personal preference of the analyst?

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I think there is some of that too

[@cindi7228]

You look pretty warm to me. Still. I liked the green and the gold on you. Fushia? Not so much.

[@amma7244]

Yup same colouring as me and also shifting with age and I can’t wear mustard well either anymore it’s just off. Sorry.

[@elsonck2523]

I choose colors that brighten my face and not colors that bring out gray areas and darken my features such as the hollows of my cheeks and under my eyes. It's easy to see which is which if you stand back and test a good color (for you) with a bad.

[@joannanangle4876]

Love video

[@staceyl618]

When the "warm" color swatch was placed around you, I thought the teal worked very well with you. I think the mustard still looks good and the olive from that swatch could be quite flattering as well. Your skin tone still looks more warm than cool to me. When the cool color swatch was placed next to your face, one noticed a lot of shadows around your face, but with the teal, your face was just brilliant.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you.

[@KatieRae_AmidCrisis]

I think... ... we should all wear what we love. What brings us joy. What's comfortable. What expresses whatever it is we want to express. Colours, styles, whatever. Simple as.

[@Taichientaoyin]

Why no more winters?

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I think other organisations still use seasons.

[@flutterlybutterly6188]

I'm soft and light, it freaks HoC people out that I'm not a cool or warm person, I've got very neutral leaning slightly warm, skin (tertiary characteristic is 'warm'). I do ignore it some of the time, but get heaps of compliments on my soft, tonal outfits. When I saw you in camel in a recent video, I was wondering about you being 'an autumn'. Hope you enjoyed your analysis.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Try CMB as i think HOC still use seasons

[@flutterlybutterly6188]

@@Myover50fashionlife that was via CMB - soft/light/warm 😁

[@lynnfox8376]

I was a clear spring but now I am neutral leaning slightly warm.

[@agam406]

Some years ago I was typed as soft summer, but now, as I'm going slowly grey, I prefer less muted colours. I feel I need more saturated ones. Isn't that strange?

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I think I'm the same. I need colour. Thank you
