[@pinkroses135]

Roasted potatoes lol

[@angieneal7362]

Yes, please! Please make a video about neutrals for each pallette. That would be helpful. I love your videos.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Great idea🙂

[@alexc6095]

Yes. Neutrals for warm people please (gray, black and navy are everywhere)

[@Jeshiae]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I wanted to put what I think is an underrated tip out there--- dyeing your existing clothing instead of buying new things in palette. It is fairly easy as long as you start with liquid dye! I was finding myself wearing this ivory sweater I had less and less as I added to my sweater collection (I'm a winter), and I realized that instead of replacing it, I could just dye it to a deeper color. So I mixed this beautiful deep sage color dye and dyed it with no issue! You can even strip color and re-dye, if you're looking to go lighter and like the fit of your existing clothing. This also eliminates the step of trying to find colors that aren't in fashion.

[@bethl]

Brilliant suggestion!

[@mallorydunn124]

Definitely would love a video dedicated to neutral colors!!😊

[@calliekulawik619]

Hi, YES!!! I would absolutely love to see a video on seasonal neutrals!! Love your channel. Always a bright spot in my day to see you have new content. Thank you so much!

[@eliali6484]

I can add a tip about colors in online shopping: if you wander whether the color is cool or warm in reality but not because the picture/your screen check the background - it must be neutral white or grey (the most used backgrounds for fashion pictures). If it's warm white background - the item is cooler color in reality, if it's somehow bluish - the item color is warmer than you see. The same with dusty colors - check the face/arms of the model. If the skin/eye/hair color is unnaturally bright - the item color is smoother than you see on your screen.

[@paolabenas1830]

I am also autumn warm like Alessandra and I will never stop wearing black and blue denim.

[@emelielindstroem]

I would love to see a video on neutrals! As a Soft Autumn I don't have any of the "classic" neutrals (i.e. black, white, grey) so it would be great to see more about the autumn neutrals and how to combine them

[@Daisy_Anne]

There is a woman called "The style coach" on youtube that is another valuable resource for me when it comes to color. She's doing a series where she goes through every color and helps identify what is warm vs cool. Would love to be able to see soft vs deep etc. So yes, please do a neutrals video! Love your content ❤

[@clairem2007]

I know y’all are busy but I would love it if y’all guys created a Pinterest page for all the seasons one day 😊

[@lavonnemacfarland7380]

I would love a video on neutrals!

[@gbosonnet]

Yes please. Would l9ve a video all about neutral colours for each season.

[@jamiekillian6513]

Love the tip about spending more money on neutral colors. It totally makes sense that we should be willing to spend more money on things that we wear a lot and we can match with a lot of things, and not something we will wear once a year. Also love the tip about playing it safe with buying adventurous colors online. Fantastic video as always.

[@nissak1561]

Please do a video about neutrals. This would be very informative and well appreciated.

[@ceruleanswim]

A video on neutrals would be really interesting. Sometimes I find it challenging to distinguish warm and cool with subtle colors like beige and khaki.

[@katem3961]

Me wearing navy blue hospital scrubs and being told so often that they suit me. Me wondering why?? 🤔 I'm a winter...🙄 Neutrals for each colour palette would be amazing. Thank you, ladies 💗

[@Heyreneesews]

I sew my own clothes and just downloaded Milanote to try

[@jennifercarter1265]

I would LOVE a video about neutrals, and especially things like how much of the wardrobe should be neutral and REALLY advice on shoes and purses. I've got a good handle on my colors (cool-leaning-bright winter) but not how to actually decide on neutral pieces. I used to maintain more black in my wardrobe but over the last few years I've drifted toward navy. I've also gotten rid of most of my insane shoe collection and I'm realizing that I was probably relying on the fact that I had over 100 pairs of shoes, so I never really figured out how to shop for shoes that were versatile. So I'm really trying to decide if I should 1) abandon black and commit to navy (which I'm hesitant to do), 2) go back to black and leave navy as an accent color (but navy is such a good color for me), or 3) commit to both navy and black (in which case, do I just need to also fully commit to purse and shoe wardrobes in each?) I'm just stunned at how my shoe shopping choices are limiting my outfits and how disconnected a black purse can look...

[@ajspanna1]

I’ve been trying to “break up” with blue denim for years. I’m a spring. It’s so hard but what you said is true. My outfits are elevated when my bottom half is also in palette and not default denim

[@hugbloom2664]

Well there's a blue (denim) in every season palette and you can wear whatever you love ❤

[@MusingOnBeauty]

I don’t understand why nobody talks about Milanote, I’ve been using it for over a year, and used it to entirely replan my wardrobe after my color analysis. I also keep my makeup inventory in there with pictures. I would definitely love a video on neutrals for each palette :) I also tend to overdo it on the blue!

[@hugbloom2664]

Thanks for the extra recommendation, milanote looks like what I need for all my creative projects, instead of screenshots and gallery collages (along with Pinterest). Time to level up!?

[@Lojo7820]

I’d love a video on neutrals for each colour palette!

[@AdelaVetr]

Thank you as always. 🌼 I shop clothes rarely, but if so, online is best for me. Somehow i approach it much more rationaly. I dont get lost walking between racks, dont get overwhelmed with the options, tired trying and spending 3 hours just like that, not anymore. I simply look a the clothing online, see its materials description, if the shape will suit my bodytype, color pallete, style. Because sometimes a piece in the shop catches your eye, "uu thats nice, i could try that on, after all its the right color", then you have several of these in fitting room, debating if its good, but in reality, those pieces would become "never worn items". Shops are made to keep us little bit longer. With the music, sometime scent, nice arranged figurines. With online you strip of all the excess influences. Also, trying at home has a big advantage, you can see garments in natural light, compare shades of certain colors and what it does to your face, which is also great for "training your eye". What doesnt fill all the categories si sent back. Thats a strategy of somebody who didnt have the sence for clothing naturally.

[@aubreywhewell6619]

The bottom of my wardrobe is my biggest challenge. I don't have anything other than blue jeans (I LOVE a good pair of blue jeans) and have a hard time picturing anything other than blue jeans. I'm on the shorter side of petite (5'0") so bottoms are a challenge anyway but when you add it the warm spring palette, it gets even more challenging.

[@MissJensk1]

I find bottoms soooooooo difficult. I don't wear jeans, but I always feel trousers in colours look strange on me, so end up defaulting to black. I'm really bored with black trousers!!!

[@Komatik_]

The opposite problem for me - got corrected on my undertone, and now I'm essentially cackling about all the colours I can get pants in and have them look great. Used to more or less just wear blue and some sandy beige. Now? I need to slowroll to not splurge on olive, red-brown, burnt orange, deep brown, etc. XD Blue works fine for me, but when I was shopping cold, I ended up using mostly blues and some gray - a lot of other cool colours just felt weird, or too much. Going through the more autumny sections of the stores now is maniacal - so many things I can just pick and they'll look fine. And it makes sense - a lot of intense colours are just too much, but light cool colours tend to be sold very, very light and feel a bit insipid. If I pick a not screaming warm olive, or an orange, it might work with the blue but it'll stand out much more than it does against brown. I'm in Heaven, my wallet is not :'( The only bummer with the analysis result is that I'm a man, aand sadly brown suits and jackets just have a rustic or old man vibe to them, which isn't a merit in a business context. Gotta solve that somehow.

[@AndreeaC.]

After i received my analysis i have discovered that handbags were missing from my wardrobe! I am an True Autumn so i had browns, camel bags and city bagpacks( i am an casual person ) so i've decided to buy a brick red one with gold chain and a tweed small one in an riped apricot colour !My shoes are generally brown, brick reds , camel, off white etc. Another missing portion in my wardrobe were blazers and casual/business shirt so i brought some brick reds, dark chocolate browns blazers and some olive, butter colour, apricot and sand coloured shirts to combine them ! I also brought some yellow and green sweatshirts / pullovers because i had many off white,creams, tomato red, oranges! My makeup was already in the warm area because I've realised for a long time that pink blushes, pink lipsticks don't look good on me, so my blushes are neutral, apricot, soft orange ones and as lipsticks i go with warm cappuccino, teracotta reds/ orange , warm coral ! My palettes are murky greens/khakis/ soft warm browns and mustard yellows and soft oranges ! My highlighters are soft champagne/ gold 😊. I have to mention that i thrift my clothes and i always find hidden gems with beautiful colours to not spend a lot of money! Now i've started to build up my sommer wardrobe so i've started with some teracotta, olive greens , orange , yellows and i still have plenty to add plus i brought some new dresses with beautiful prints that suits Autumns !

[@Snugos]

I would love a neutrals video please! I find a lot of colours don't look great paired with black. As a result I usually only pair it with more black or white.

[@aislingmcguane8470]

Would love video in neutral palette.

[@rebeccagoy4474]

A neutral colour video would be so awesome. Thanks for all the great content.

[@jessicachen3966]

I would love a video dedicated to talking about how to select patterns and also the impact of texture on intensity.

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

As a cool Winter w blue gray eyes and light brown hair, deep shades of blue and turquoise are my absolute best.

[@angieneal7362]

Monochromatic wardrobe. Ha! I have the opposite problem! I love every color and my closet is a rainbow!

[@AndreeaC.]

Oh i understand you very well but now is mostly with my palette accordingly 😊, is still have some past "mistakes" 😄

[@killersister596]

Oh yes, please! I'd love a video about the neutral colours. Would like to know mine (autumn) and use them more 🧡🤎💛

[@tins369]

How I stop literally everything I do when I get a notification for a new video 😅

[@G_limaf]

I'm never too adventurous shopping online, but bought a icy pink jumper and received a peach one 😐 I returned and bought a bright pink, because it was safer 😂

[@edelbutler8027]

I rely on black constantly but I'm pretty sure I am not a winter - would love a video on neutrals. This one was great!

[@biggerfoot9217]

Would love a video about neutrals! As a summer I'm struggling to figure out what my dark, formal neutrals are

[@Jonaj05]

Thanks for your video today, very interesting. Could you do a video on how to tell in a shop whether the colour is blue or yellow based please. I find that tricky as an autumn.

[@bethl]

Same

[@BeaunaturelleFeb11]

Fantastic tips ladies. Thank you. And yes please to a neutrals vid. I loved that line "an item needs to DESERVE to be in (my) wardrobe' 👍 Great stuff. 😊

[@leyley-vj4ym]

You are so in time with this video. I have a shopping phase and i need to stop a little bit. I also struggle with jeans because the most are cool, so I try to find some that are not obviously cool and more neutral.

[@АннаЛищинская-я7т]

I think it is also important to find out your type by Dwyn Larson, and face and body dominant types to make good clothing choices. To know your scale, best lengths, cuts, prints, best sleeves, necklines, fabric types. For example, if you are romantic dramatic with mixed face dominant, avoid oversize hoodies, even if they are in your pallette.

[@schnien_]

feel the blue-jeans part! I always end up hating my jeans because I try different colours and non of them suits me or my wardrobe. Would love a video on jean alternatives for each season! 😍

[@lenavoyles526]

If you’re an Autumn navy blue is in your palette, so very dark wash jeans are very close to that.

[@MM-pe9ik]

I had online analysis done by this gorgeous duo and I'm so happy with the results and the report. Highly recommend it ❤

[@shoshanafox727]

8:40 I did that lol. I found out I was a dark winter and bought 3 mustard colored shirts in one month. 😏😄

[@neggyforever]

Love your videos! I've always been a bit confused about color seasons, especially when talking about makeup... I've always considered myself "neutral cool" but your videos and explanations have been very useful to understand overtone. Could you do a video about neutrals appropriate for each season? Neutrals sound like beige to me but as a winter, I look dead in beige... Thank you for your help!!

[@AndreeaC.]

If i was a winter as white/black/grey and navy are my neutrals,for makeup i would go with gray toned mattes ,cool toned browns silver shimmers / silver based shimmers in general! For a bold look i would dip in pink tones / red ones/ true blue so i believe there is enough on the beauty market for everyone! Colourpop/ Natasha Denona has a lot of cool toned palettes so there is a good start! ❤

[@neggyforever]

@@AndreeaC. Thank you!

[@mastandstars]

1000% want to see a neutrals video from you! 💗💗💗

[@AmalieKandel]

I would love to know more about the different types of denim for each subcategory from you guys 🙌 Best from Denmark

[@viviwilhelmsson307]

Great to see you ladies, and thanks for the encouraging tips! I'm watching your videos again, and just when I think I've understood a little more of how the analysis fits together, I wonder something new. Very exciting! Looking forward to seeing you again!

[@alsg0403]

Please make a video about how to style existing colors that are not in your palette but happen to like/love. Not sure if there is already such a video. Previously typed myself as a Dark Autumn, only to realise I have cool undertone and I look better in the low-medium value of the Dark Winter (basically, I'm between a True Winter and a Dark Winter but look better in Dark Winter). So I have a lot of existing color pieces that I don't want to go to waste. Pure white usually looks overpowering on me. But I find that if majority of my outfit is black/ a darker color and it's paired with pure white, it helps to tone down the white against my skin tone.

[@lovefilles]

What I am so mad about is that I absolutely love white and black and as an autumn deep, it seems to be far fro my palette.

[@DonnaJewell-en3ow]

Yess please. I would get a lot out of a video about neutrals.

[@lifeschool707]

Yes please a video on neutral colors. Thank you

[@lightheartsbyjellyfern9911]

Before learning more about personal color, all I knew was that olive green was great for me, and it's pretty easy to find in stores. Now I have too many olive tops😅 I feel you Guilia, need to train myself to resist the pull

[@no_i_dont_want_no_slugs]

i wish i didn't live in canada so i could go have an in-person consultation D: you two seem so nice and you clearly know your stuff, so it'd be fun to have a consultation in-person. but c'est la vie. (and of course, i can always do an online one, i just feel like an in-person one would be an even better experience)

[@beeu6364]

If I’m a true autumn, what is my main characteristic then? Warm, muted AND deep? 🤔😅

[@chelseaa4728]

Great video! Yes, would love to see a video about neutrals 👍🏻

[@KathBorup]

Also colours in photos online can be very inaccurate. For example I bought what I thought was fuchsia turtleneck but it was actually a cool red. I've also noticed that some colours are harder to photograph accurately.

[@ulrikeschroeder]

A very useful video. I think I am a soft summer. I am definitely cool. All dusty colours look good on me. Grey looks good on me. I look absolutely horrible in orange. I think I typed me correct. I got rid of all warm colours except 2 or 3 parts in the sister season, which look okay. Very few black basics remained (a pair of jeans, a blouse, 3 shirts, a blazer, a jacket and a warm winter jacket), because I love them too much. I combine them with pieces in my colour palette. Thank you for your great work. ❤❤❤

[@magdakania643]

Yes, i d like a video on neutrals!

[@ready4reiki]

I fell into that after my analysis. I bought things in my color when the shape wasn’t right. I’m over that! But I will say that at first I was amazed how much the right color made a difference, even with the wrong shape! Now these cloths will be my painting/gardening cloths….live and learn. Thanks for the great tips!

[@AlexLouiseWest]

I can relate to that. I find colour easy and shape hard.

[@Komatik_]

Yeah, I'm apparently warm-toned but used to think I was cool. Had a hard time finding colours and ended up wearing mostly shades of blue. Figures that colours were hard: Blue works on most everyone, but if I'm warm and wearing a cool blue, every colour will clash either with my undertone, or with the tone of my blue neutrals. So cool shirts will feel wrong, warm shirts will feel off and too extreme. Got analyzed as warm, put on a pair of beige chinos that I'd previously discarded as "too yellow" (figures that blue and cooler, sandy beige would fit better with cool shirts :O), and lo and behold. Warm pants, warm skin tone, previously extreme-feeling colours just... fit, and buying colour generally became much easier. To anyone freshly analyzed, get a pair of pants or a skirt that matches your undertone. It may not be close to your face, but makes the shirts and tops that'll look best easy choices. If your skin tone and bottom neutral conflict, chances are you'll just end up wearing a bunch of blue and some other neutrals, but actual colour will be hard.

[@nicolemoreland6257]

Well I'd love to watch and learn from any video you ladies would like to share. But yes! A neutrals video would be so interesting. I find I'm confused by some greys and whether they are a warm or cool grey. Much love and excited to have you back making content after the new year break. ❤

[@quietangel1574]

I love so much Gulia and Alessandra❤️❤️ Please make that video about neutrals 🙏 I'm so excited about it 🤩

[@mammadijacopo3347]

Always brilliant advice!

[@maybee3960]

I belive I’m a winter, as blue is my safe zone, same as white. But I also love yellow, clean lemony or bright yellow 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@pinkroses135]

The thing that trips me up is the pink range. Which ones are "neutral" etc

[@joycerichardson1810]

Very good advice!! Love this channel!

[@-o-o-o-1]

Please, please, please do a neutral's for the different palettes video! I'm not sure why the under tone of neutrals are the most difficult for me to discern...it seems like it should be obvious e.g. brown is warm, but many times I have come across a brown piece, brought it home and discovered it is a cool brown. Any tips would be much appreciated!!!

[@mayheld524]

Yes, please make a video of neutral colors for each season, please!

[@colouranalysis_studio]

It's already published, you can find it on our channel :)

[@EllannJohnson]

can you do a video on how to tell which denim wash is in your color pallet? I am a true autumn and it is a challenge!

[@mayoleta6469]

for true winters, what color would you recommend for a safari outfit? will be going to south africa soon beige seems to be the obvious and practical choice to go on a safari.

[@kasiamichalec2305]

I love your videos, you are very knowledgeable and friendly. I would really appreciate a video on neutrals. I am finding it is my most challenging shopping experience to find neutrals that are not too dark but that they will not wash me out. I am a soft summer.

[@desislavagospodinova3749]

I love these girls ❤❤

[@Jonaj05]

Particularly reds and greens

[@mellowwy6]

Great video!! I'm curious if you have any tips on how to choose with the warm/yellow lights in the shop? I'm an olive toned soft summer and I always choose soft autumn colours because the overhead lights make my skin look more yellow. I leave many times with the wrong shades :(

[@hugbloom2664]

Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@Heyreneesews]

Nice graphics package.

[@aprilbatley6738]

can u do a video on different seasons denim colors ?

[@CatherineGarlick]

That was great, loved the shopping tips! I did start falling for the forgetting about shape and style and just looking for my colours…. I’ve now become quite selective and I’ll think about a purchase a lot longer before I make it. Would love a video on seasonal neutrals! Also what are your best tips for finding your style?

[@prawncrisp5951]

Great observation about the initial intoxication that comes with discovering one’s personal colour palette - and moving through to emerge on the other side once you’ve integrated the (admittedly, very exciting) information. And I second that - would love to hear G & A’s tips for us to find / refine our own style.

[@LeighMerrydayPorch]

You twi just saved me $175 dollars. I thought having a light neutral for handmade flats might be nice as I live in a sauna (Florida). My favorites come in lots of colors, but the lightest pair is cream. And I've never really explored wearing much gray. I was fiercely tempted to break palette and go for the cream anyway, arguing that it might not matter in terms of distance for my face. But you're right. And I can close out that tab and take a little more time in the hunt. They haven't earned a place in my close -- especially with them being out of harmony with my dominant characteristic. You did a good deed today,, ladies! 🤣

[@cherivillines7271]

Would love to see a video on neutrals in each palette!

[@feralfarrell1336]

[@Tinchabella]

Giulia, I love your lipstick in this video. 😍 What brand and colour is it?

[@missnars87]

Can I please ask - I find because I’m a warm autumn I really struggle leaning into soft or dark autumn because they look obviously wrong. I feel like I’m stuck in tan, khaki, orange and brick red with the yellow/mustards being okay but the best (better with warm reds and orange) and I’m more stuck now than before my analysis. Do you guys have any tips for the people whose dominant type is their undertone?

[@princesspat5239]

when are we getting the video on neutrals ;) ?

[@lemmings6516]

Hey you two, when you say that finding our colour season facilitates our shopping experience could you maybe consider making another video about being olive? Because I never really know what colours to strive for. I would say out auf all seasons I’m an autumn but I can take a little more intensity than a soft autumn and really can’t deal with the lighter colours of the season. The dark colours of soft autumn are perfect as I really need a loooot of contrast, so darker colours are generally better than lighter ones. So I thought dark autumn might be it But I also need some softness as I am not really bright, there is always some kind of muddyness to my skintone. There is no season I fully belong to. Most colours in winter need to be redbased to not bring out the green. So rust, purple and corals, peach’s and so on look good. In summer when I get really golden, I can get away with a lot of warmth. Greens look stunning in summer but horrible in winter. It’s just soooo confusing, could you maybe bring I some clarity?

[@lemmings6516]

If I was in Melbourne I would just come over but I feel like my skintone might be tricky to take an accurate picture of.

[@shoshanafox727]

​@@lemmings6516 if you are truly olive you probably have a cool blue undertone and a warm yellow overtone. That's what makes olive skin. You might be deep winter or soft summer, depending on intensity. If I were you, I'd look at those two palettes. Deep/dark winter is closest to deep/dark autumn. Btw I think these ladies are very good at online analysis.

[@katrinbercht9486]

Great Video! ❤I have a very specific question. I was analyzed by you as a light spring which is wonderful because i love pastels. I know i can also steal a bit from the summer light palette but now i am wondering if the spring neutrals (in my case camel pants) would go together with clothes from my sister season as well or would you recommend to only combine them with the „right“ neutrals? Thank you!!

[@colouranalysis_studio]

Dear Katrin, warm neutrals work very well with all Spring Light colours. However, camel pants can still work with a few colours from Summer Light: have you tried camel and light blu? 🩵🤎
