Update from September 2018: I uploaded a new photo with face examples for a better understanding of this seasonal color palette. Although I can’t be certain about the celebrities’ exact seasonal color palettes I would like to show some examples to visualize each color palettes.
As well as, I added a new color palette with the names of the shades 🙂

  1. I want to leave one, final comment on my ultimately coming to the conclusion that I was a Summer, though lighter or darker depends on season (another pretty unique quality of Summers: You sort of “fade in” and out depending upon sun exposure, whereas most other seasons barring “Soft Autumn” stay the same or a natural contrast gets more intense depending upon sun exposure. With Summers, it’s just like someone is applying another layer of lavender, silver sheen over your coloring, the more sun exposure you get. That doesn’t go away, even when you tan or even burn! Visually, it appears to sit on top.)

    Things that helped me personally distinguish my season:

    – Red in my hair makes my face look gray, no matter how little I’ve applied. It always looks like an unnatural overlay later applied to a photo. No matter what tone or depth I’ve tried (and I’ve always personally loved red hair) it always looks totally false. I don’t have any natural red tones in my hair.

    – When I was a child, my hair could get very light in the sun, though I was not a towhead. I’ve always been a med-light brunette at lightest, dirty blonde. However, as it got lighter, it got “grayer”/ashier, more silvery/platinum in tone. My highlights on natural hair have always been light blonde. This is compared to light haired friends who could be deemed “Springs”, standing in pictures beside me, who got more gold or bronze than silver in their hair depending upon sun exposure. At my deepest, my hair could even be deemed a bluish ash brown.

    – No matter what lighting I’m in, no matter the weather or season, it always — always! — looks like someone has painted a watercolor wash of very light blue over my skin. Almost like a silver-tone reflection. Even when I’m as tan as I’ve ever been, I’ve always had that cool wash look to my skin. When I’ve applied improper makeup colors, you can see that blue tone peeking out of every area I didn’t cover properly and a clear definition between makeup and my skin tone is evident in photos.

    – Nearly every boyfriend I’ve had has wanted to see me in ice blue and has bought me clothing in various pastel shades of blue and lavender. I’ve been told by most of them that blue looks best on me.

    – The confusion came with my eyes, which are a light hazel mix of green, brown and blue gray. However, there is no gold in my eyes, the brown is more cocoa and often doesn’t even show up and when the green looks brightest, it still has a bluish gray cast to it.

    As such, I usually lean towards “Soft Summer”, though the looks I’ve gotten the most compliments on, could be deemed more suited to “Light Summer”. My skin is rosy porcelain, very fair, so maybe that’s why the lighter colors might appear to compete less with my skin tone and seem harmonious to other people, even though I’d probably be officially classified as a darker/deeper Summer.

  2. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

  3. Cate Blanchett-warm spring
    Jodie Foster-warm autumn
    Nastya-warm autumn – don`t know to explain, just loook for photos, you`ll see it.
    Reese Witherspoon-clear spring.
    Princess Madeleine light spring
    Grace Kell. warm autumn.
    Heather Locklear soft autumn

    1. Giselle, I’ve gone through struggles trying to determine my own season and particularly, struggling between “Soft Summer” and “Soft Autumn”.

      The difference I noticed was the cast, not any dominating color combo because “neutrals” can be very chameleon-like when it comes to different color combos appearing to work.

      Summers have various levels of an almost gray-blueish cast, a silvertone, to their/our look, even if some subtle gold is evident but not a primary feature in the hair. Your highlights will appear more platinum or sandy than golden. As neutral tone Summers and Soft Autumn both tend towards easy highlights, this can confuse things even further.

      But if you look closely, you’ll notice that Soft Autumns are distinguished from Summers by their “soft gold” cast. This is more noticeable when both tan; Summers will glow with a silver sheen over a tan and take a little longer for redness to turn into that tan, while Soft Autumns will tan more easily and you’ll see an almost cooler gold cast over that tan; not as far as bronze, more like brushed gold. Hazel eyes in Summers are more like light cocoa brown mixed with gray green, Soft Autumns will show a more pronounced golden green tone in their hazel eyes, even as far as almost chartreuse (See: Hillary Duff).
