HELLO FRIENDS!! Today it’s all about color - and as someone who is known for wearing almost only black, I decided to dip my toes into the personal color analysis trend I've been hearing about for years and seeing all over TikTok. Because I've always been curious... am I a winter? Autumn? Summer? Or even Spring? Pastels have never been my forte, but I was open to at least hearing about them. So, we took a little detour to Toronto and visited Julia Dobkine from Agile Styling, an expert in color analysis who I’d been following on Tiktok, to find out my colors, my season, my tones, and everything underneath those tones. What do you guys think? Would you try this?
Also, thanks to the virtual color analysts, the color key, for their help in fact-checking the video and collaborating on celebrities for the 12 seasons for our graphics! To learn your season virtually, check out @‌thecolorkey_ on Instagram! **celebrities shown here are examples based on the color key's best classification done in good faith but without participation in the color key analysis process.

HELLO FRIENDS!! it turns out black is (one of) my color(s)! what a relief.... not that anyone could pry my funereal wardrobe away from me 🦇 what do you guys think? would you try a personal color analysis? thanks again to julia at @agilestyling for being our expert! and with the celebrities in the seasonal graphics... we tried our absolute best but there is definitely the possibility of a mistake, so sorry if that's the case!! xoxo, saf

[@sk8ergalx]

Actually when I went to a personal colour consultant, she gave me secondary colour palette that still looks good, even if not the best. I think it is important to know the range of what looks okay to the best, not just sticking to the best. My consultant also gave me tips of how to make the best of colours that are not in the good tone for me by playing with contrast, position of the colours, etc. It is actually more freeing than restrictive when you have these tips and insights on how to make colours work for you!

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. I agree. In the Korean color analysis vids that I've watched, they give you your primary and secondary seasons. Re: contrast, I learned abt it (and how to apply the color wheel in clothes/ choosing outfits) via some other KZbinrs.

[@HilBG]

my mom (who is super good at this) gives people this advice: to find out what your palette is, look at your wardrobe of favorite clothes. if you always love how you look in certain colors, it's probably because they're the most flattering colors for you. also people tend to compliment you when you're wearing your best palette.

[@plantcraftie4141]

Hmmm, then I think I'm muted neutral? Does that exist? #394D21, #104D47, #AD3B2C are like the colours I wear

[@dancetx]

I think that's true! I'd say I look best in warm and muted, autumny colors

[@barbora3581]

Not really, because for the longest time I thought warm and muted colors look the best on me, when actually I learned it's the opposite when I got analyzed.

[@AdorkableArtist92]

That’s exactly why I think I’m a winter! When I wear cobalt blue, deep purples and greens, and deep reds or fuchsia, I get lots of compliments. I get a little thrown off though because I look great in yellows that lean more toward the autumn palettes. I really just need to get my colors done professionally. I’ve always bern obsessed with color and color theory, and seasonal analysis has been one of my special interests for months!

[@user-fz9dn5bs7e]

No wonder I never figure out what clothes look best on me before 🥲. I'm a true winter loving autumn shades. So, I bought lots of neutral autumn colours and never like my looks in any of them. I got depressed after knowing about color analysis and both my friends and siblings were hellbent on making me realized how good black and deeper cool shades look good on me 🥲. Taking years to swallow the premonition that I might really be a winter before finally paying for a colour analysis online. And yes, I'm a winter. A true winter at that 🥲. One that is not borderline with any of the other seasons at all.

[@Tarantallegra2]

It's very much appreciated - this is what makes this channel one of the best! I am very curious though, to be frank, how this channel survives in this age of online video. Saf and her team's videos are so thoroughly researched and beautifully executed, and in the same timeframe it takes to produce one video, another KZbinr may have released five longform videos of them just reacting to a subreddit that each get just as much engagement. Without trying to put down any other content creators, this team clearly has so much passion and integrity!

[@witchassbitch3]

[@kattelyn92]

It would be interesting to do this with a few color stylists and see if they come to the same conclusion. I personally just don't have the eye for this and can't see the difference in most instances 😅 but it's still a fun idea.

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

Yes! One KZbinr got two analyses, with very different results. She did hers online, which is very hit or miss. She definitely narrowed it down, but in-person is much more accurate. It used to be hard for me to see the subtle differences, but the further down this rabbit hole I go, the more interesting it gets…unlike some consumer trends, for sure!

[@user-fz9dn5bs7e]

​@@sciencenotstigma9534I'm not worried about getting my hue wrong if I do it online but I think the intensity is harder to analyze online because of the picture quality. I did an online analysis once before and got a palette from the analyst. I printed it in Canva to make sure I got the colours right, but my siblings had been telling me that I look better in brighter colours than the ones in the palette which is something I actually agree on. Probably the quality of my picture got a bit dusty or something when I sent it to the analyst, so I got a slightly wrong palette 🥲. But it's okay, I guess I know what looks the best on me now after a lot of trys.

[@naomilangevin3944]

For those who are interested in this color styling, keep in mind it's all meant for your top half, or things that are near your face. You can wear whatever color bottoms you like, and you don't need to wear full outfits of your colours. These tests are literally about seeing how your face looks against certain colors, so don't be worried thinking you have to give up your favorite pair of pants!

[@NoName-dx1no]

Yeah I remember someone saying it’s one thing for your clothes to not suit your skin since it may not be that noticeable but it’s more important for your makeup to suit your face because it’s literally your face

[@stardroplet9499]

👍

[@pinkdarkboy7127]

Also if you have a favorite top that goes against your color palette, just wear it. Color theory was meant to be broken and played with, not treated as a strict ruleset.

[@vixxcelacea2778]

True! But at the same time, there is color theory against colors themselves and unless you know how to mix really well, wearing a muted warm tone pant with a cool jewel tone top might look a bit funky. Usually accessories and additions can balance it, like the color of the outer top or inner, belt, shoes etc. Blue jeans weirdly look good on everyone. Apparently blue goes with most other colors. Even in jeans though, you can choose a cool, neutral or warmer tone.

[@lrizzard]

yeah and as safiya said its not an exact science and is more about the feel of it so if you do like wearing a certain color then it is your colour!!

[@Kassowari]

The makeup was definitely the biggest stand-out for me. I hadn't even realized the warm foundation was kind of... not doing Saf justice. I think a slightly darker eyeshadow will maybe tone down the overall brightness of the look itself, but the pink lip, the cheeks, etc, really made her pop. That was neat!

[@MrSelectiveyellow]

Yes! The makeup is HUGE!

I really like that you did a segment at the end of your color analysis where you went through all of the color palettes.

[@lauraleesrogers9702]

So thinking back to your Perfect Makeover video, Brad and Stacy thought you had a slightly warmer tone and now it's cooler, more than likely because your hair color is darker.

The funny thing is someone who has been professionally trained to do this like myself can tell what you are without doing the actual analysis.

Yes. Before I found out I suit them I got an emerald green/teal teddy bear coat as my Christmas gift and my mom hasn't stopped talking about it since. She says it looks stunning on me and the colour is so unique but it works great because it's not a pea green that would clash with my olive tone. But it has some blue in it too. She told me how she would go and get herself the same coat if she has any money to spare. I got it for like 30% off during black Friday since I needed a new coat. Because she also couldn't stop talking about how my old coat looked very used. Regardless I wear jewel tones quite often. Like the sweater in my pic and I had a time in highschool where I'd wear anything blue. My mom told me blue washes me out a bit being pale but apparently it suits me very well because younger me was onto something.

[@Kendraeardnek]

As a Winter myself who has used my colors faithfully since my teens and can recognize them pretty well, I've always been of the opinion that Safiya is a fellow Winter. She couldn't wear as much black as she does, looking as good as she does in it, and not be one.

I actually never believed this trend at first, until I watched Safiya and how the colours truly have an effect to how she looks. The bright cool colours look so so good on her.

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

It's absolutely based in color theory. It by no mean should stop a person from wearing a favorite color but it can help answer questions of why you might be uncomfortable in certain colors... what people ask if you're feeling okay when you wear certain colors... even things like why you suddenly look more tired just by changing your shirt. (An unfortunate side effect of some retail uniforms on some people.)

[@CT1010101]

I mean at the very least cool and warm undertones seem extremely legitimate. Honestly you could probably stop there & that's enough.

[@you_dropped_something]

@@CT1010101 honestly depends on the person! when i got my colours done, the analyst talked about that for most people, one of the 3 scales mattered 'more' than the other 2, but they can vary person to person. we found that for me it was most important to have bright, clear, saturated colours, and that while i do better in cool tones, i could handle a little warmth. but when looking at muted, greyed out colours i looked awful. but i would agree that even figuring out 1/3 would make a big difference!

Idk much about the clothes colour, but the change on the makeup is actually pretty huge. She looks so much brighter, shining with the makeup not makeup overshadowing her feature

[@lauragarmon6969]

As someone who was in high school in the early 80’s, my mom took me to a color “expert.” It turned out I was a winter, too. Going with this knowledge in hand, Mom picked an iced blue fabric with which she made a gown for my upcoming concert. It was a really lovely dress that totally washed out my skin under the stage lights. In the pictures, you could see my black hair, some lip color, the dress and my instrument. It looked as if a ghost with a wig was filling out my clothes!

[@MissCaraMint]

Ironically ice blue sounds more like a summer shade.

[@user-fz9dn5bs7e]

​@@MissCaraMintSo it looked bad on you? I'm not sure about icy blue. But icy lilac looks so great on me as a fellow winter. It's not a summer shade if it's icy. Summer shades are dusty rather than icy. I'm always careful in choosing light colors because a winter could only tolerates clear shades and not dusty shades, unless you're a cool winter which is borderline with cool summer. A cool winter could wear dusty pastels with no problems unlike any of the other winters.

[@MissCaraMint]

​@@user-fz9dn5bs7e No actually I am a soft summer. When you search up ice blue it looks pretty dusty rather than bright. Hens why it looked bad on the person I responded to. It would probably look pretty good on me though.

The cool makeup palette makes a very noticeable difference. I thought you looked great before, so seeing such a significant change was surprising. You look younger, better rested and more vibrant in general. The whole look makes your features stand out more in the best possible way and brings out the depth of color in your hair and eyes. Wear all the black you like, but I would definitely recommend keeping the new makeup look. ❤❤

I got a professional color analysis recently and I was also typed as a true winter! It has helped me discern better colors of clothes and makeup be I just always felt washed out or overwhelmed by the colors I was putting on. So cool to see you show this process! I also dyed my hair a dark blue green after getting my analysis!

[@madisonemily4083]

I couldn't always see what Julia was saying in the demonstrations, but the try-on portion really showed how well those colors look on Safiya. Stunning!

If it helps you need to focus on the face not the pallette.

[@meinkanta]

Yeah it doesn’t show up right on camera because cameras auto-adjust. That’s why those TikTok filters don’t work. Digital draping and watching drapes on camera just doesn’t allow you to see how the colours reflect on your face etc E; I think on camera the effects are most visible on Safiya’s jawline

I do know I really like dark blues on myself, but that's about all I know.

@@SuperLoves4 no fr hahaha like you can figure out your pallet by what colours/how much of each you need to mix paint to your skin tone

[@bodyofhope]

Tbf, no science is perfect. Working with colors is more of an art combined with the color spectrum/color theory. The consultant has trained their eye to show ppl in real time how colors change against their skin. There are other ways, but this also serves as a tutorial for ppl to start training their eyes to their own colors during the session.

[@vaneharris8947]

I’m a winter too but I love the colors orange and yellow that are not in my palette. What I do is make sure those colors don’t touch my skin. So I have a cool toned blue dress with a medium sized yellow flower pattern on it or a white tote with an orange image in the middle. So the Bass Pro Shop shirt with the orange text in the middle would have followed this guideline.

[@FaithTake2]

I had my color analysis done too and I agree that it’s much easier to see a difference in person than on camera! And it really changed my life which sounds so dramatic but it’s true

[@andrew_sar]

You're definitely a winter. I haven't even started the video yet. The high contrast between your skin and eyes, the high contrast between your hair and skin. The soft cool olive undertones. Classic winter! Stay away from oranges and pastels, but embrace blacks, pure white, jewel tones, and raspberry cool reds! Also, avoid pastels and look for icy (lighter version of pastels) colors instead.

[@andrew_sar]

Also keep your hair very ashy and avoid red/golden tones! That's different than if your hair reflects certain colors in the sunlight. For example, many winters with dark hair may reflect copper in the sunlight. However, copper shouldn't be the dominate tone. Also, people who have both green and blue veins are often olive undertoned! Olive is inherently cool because there is more blue than yellow in "olive."

[@carol6555]

I’m a deep winter and honestly, I LOVE my palette! It makes so much difference, I even need less makeup on a daily basis!

Oh, she can absolutely rock the right shade of brown. A blue-based brown would be sensational on her if she wanted a softer look. It's why the blue-based black looks so good on her. Not all blacks are blue-based... same way with grays. There are warm blacks and grays too.

[@KitKat-rg8ql]

To anyone reading this: a color analysis can help you figure out what to wear, but just remember that you should still stick to wearing what you want!

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Agreed. But it can also help you figure out why people always ask if you sick when you wear a certain color or why you always seem to look more tired when you change into your work shirt or why, no matter what brand you try... foundation never seems to match. There's a similar test for finding your foundation shade too because way more people out there are cool toned or have olive or gray undertones be they cool or neutral. It's also useful to know if you're trying to pick outfits for photographs or a job interview where you really want to be looking your best.
