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.
@@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.
@@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.
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. :)
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
👏🏼 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.
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.
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 :)
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!
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!
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. ♥️
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 :))
Thanks Justine, it was very helpful to hear that brown can be a better neutral than black for warm undertones. I discovered this accidentally when buying my first brown coat last winter - it's been a game-changer! I definitely preferred the darker tones in this video with the exception of bright coral. As a fellow Berliner I fully support your coup for more much-needed colour :)
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
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
Haha I didn’t know I have naturally made my whole wardrobe warm hues 😂 I love chartreuse, coral and peach as my pops of colour in clothes but mostly I wear tuned down colours. Makeup- I wear a rainbow of colours on my eyes, today I wore neon yellow, peach and royal blue 😊
This is very useful video. I always thought that i am having warm undertones. After watching your video, I am shocked that my skin color is not really matching with warm color. So interesting. Your video really helpful. Can't wait to watch your next episode. Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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! 😅😀
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.
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.
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.
I’ve let my hair go to its natural color of warm grey and I’m experimenting without any black or white. I’ve been lightening and softening my warm pallet, mixing with brown and grey neutrals. I still need some intensity difference in each outfit and some colour. My favorites are a dark chartreuse, brick, plum and a brassy gold. It’s been so much fun! I’ve created a warm or neutral base colour for each season, and then I added three accents in warm mid hues which all go together with my colouring, intensity and contrast. It’s very unique and I’m finally using decades of carefully collected pieces! I Love your show💕, thank you for this series! 🙏
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.
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!
Absolutely loving your colour series Justine. I'm cool toned and my daughter is warm toned so have been guiding her on colour choices. We are both so much happier with our wardrobe content 😊 Thank you 😉
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.
Why can't I press like more than once? Thank you for this video. Since I started watching your content my wardrobe has turned into a (mainly cool-toned) rainbow. I can make warmer colours work as well by strategically placing them further away from my face, either on the lower half of my body or by layering something brighter that shows closest to my face underneath a warm toned top. Hope this tip helps!
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!
Finally caught up to watch this video. Thanks Justine! I'm warm but not crazy warm-toned. My complexion is quite muted, so high chroma colours don't work as well, they drain me. I wish I could wear bright orange but I can't 🤣 At least there's terracotta ;) When you added the black to those first hues I was like YES that's what I like! I also like pastels, dusky pinks for example look nice against my skin 😊 Look forward to the cool-tones.
I've always been in the warm camp - using brown primarily as a neutral with lots of brighter hues depending on the season. It's no surprise that fall is my favourite time of year! 😁
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!
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.
so glad this series popped up on my recommended!! I'm excited to see the next episodes 🙏 I think this unfortunately? fortunately? solidified for me that I am as neutral as they come...I thought I was cool-toned for the longest time until I tried a neutral-toned foundation and it blended right into my skin. It makes sense now why my natural hair colour suits me - it's N E U T R A L mousey brown - and I tended to hair colours that were a combination of warm and cool (like a cool brown with a warm purple mix) 😭 I'm hoping there's still directions for neutral-toned people after your cool-tone episode because it feels like I have *too* many options, and none of those options really bring out the best in me. It's all 'meh'.
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.
Love the series. I've tended toward darker cool reds and purples. But as I get older these colors make my skin's undertone look gray. So thinking about more pastels. Oh no! I need help not dressing like an old lady.
Love this , I’m warm tone and love all the autumnal colours , but I fell in love with a navy blue trench which I’m pairing with burgundy and sometime mustards , I think it’s working well !!!
I really appreciate this series! Personally, I love bright colors and they suit me very well. I just have a hard time combining them. I rarely own neutrals.
You can find rose gold in high end jewellery stores if you're after a more copper/bronze tone and don't want to wear costume or fashion jewellery. It has a range of tones so well worth a look.
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.
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.
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.
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!
I love this series. I am warm toned, blonde and blue eyed. When I have a tan, however, I know I can wear almost every color on the color wheel. Why is that? Does a tan cover up your undertone? Does it change it? I'm trying not to get tanned anymore because it's not great for my skin, but I really love being able to wear the brighter colors!
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 !!
I love the deep rich reds. I want to wear red but want the right one since I am warm undertoned. Heading over to the lipstick video and awaiting your next video in this series.
I understand that I have a warm undertone and definitely try to apply the color theory you are explaining so well here. However,, I love blues. I try to use them away from my face as in jeans and slacks for instance. I’m loving this series. Thank you.
Justine, thank you so much for your videos! I"d love to see one for rocking a head wrap! Like a regal wrap. So many woman wrapping their heads for chemo or religious reasons. xo
Justine, thank you for this - absolutely brilliant series! I believe Im somewhere between warm and cool, yet not neutral perhaps more olive. What should us olive toned girls do?
Me wearing Mustered Yellow head to toe while watching the video 💛 I am warm undertone and really enjoy wearing jewel tones. Right now we are having winter and wearing bright colors is my preference for the season. I love watching your content it reflects your efforts you behind making it. 💖
I am cool toned and a bit jealous how warms can rock corals, peaches and oranges. btw I also remember your video about choosing hair color according to your undertone, and distinguishing warm blonde vs cool blonde hair etc. A pretty important point when building a pallette, along with makeup
Enjoying this series's also good to remember one. Am tone with black or white in warm colors • if you prefer a lighter hue also great to mix with warm and bright hues. I.e. A less winter pallet.
I’m loving his series and learning a lot. I have green eyes and dark brown hair and light skin. I tend to wear pink or green and also like bright red. I. Struggling to work out if I have warm or cool undertones because I can’t wear blue OR yellow. When I look at my wardrobe choices it seems to be warm pinks and cool greens.
Wow , thank you so much for all the information. I love the warm greens and muted colors like the olives and muted yellows. The not too bright but still lovely warm colours. It's usually so hard to find here in Canada unless it's trending at the time . I hate it when all you can find is what everyone is wearing. I wish company's would make all clothing in warm and cool colours . I am a warm undertone person. Thank you for all the wonderful Tips. Love and hugs. 🙂❤
I prefer the toned down or more neutral tones. I enjoy a colorful skirt with neutral leggings and sweater. Look forward to the cool color episode. I'm also interested in hair color tones.
I am happily surprised by your descriptions of colour choice. Bright yellow will never turn up in my wardrobe but I am going to choose more copper and browns. Thank you Birdy
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!
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.
Love your well-informed videos, Justine! I'm a warm undertone, red is my accent colour and I'm trying to move away from black as my go-to neutral, especially as I usually wear it on top to balance out my inverted triangle frame. Hard transition, it's so practical!
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!
This is a sophisticated way of looking at colors for your wardrobe. I have too many bright colors in my closet and usually navy is my neutral. I am looking for a more harmonious pallet. Thank you for making videos
Wow, that color red looks so good on you! I love dark, dramatic reds, but I'm so decidedly cool toned, I hardly ever find a shade of red that suits me. Well, at least I can compromise by wearing my nails red most of the time 😅. Looking forward to next weeks installment. Finding the exact shades of the right colors is such a challenge when shopping. It's not just cool vs warm. I've found, that I look great in deep, muted jewel colors, for example, but not in pastels or bright pink or blue. Navy blue, charcoal grey and white are my best neutrals. Black is only ok and light to medium grey doesn't work at all. It all still puzzles me a bit still.
This great video ended too soon :( I have a warm undertone and I like the toned down hues more and I have noticed that adding a touch of bright red literally lits up my dress whether it is in the form of a handbag, jewellery or a pair of shoe and you just testified it! :D Thanks alot for this video..eagerly waiting for the next one!
The video about building a color palette for COOL undertones is now online too: ua-cam.com/video/XDThBOFWdzw/v-deo.html 😘
Absolutely love all these videos and looking forward to the black/white/grey. I have the hardest time telling my vein color!
I am warm but I dislike this colors😢
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 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
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.
As a cool person i have trouble resisting warm toned colours
I love jewel tones, I can do both warm and cool, but pastels make me look ill. Love this series!
SAME. Pastels look horrible on me!
Me too.
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. :)
Same, I think it may be that I'm more "olive". Also, pastels make me look like a corpse.
same!
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!
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!
I agree it IS a pity. There’s so much that can be done with color.
Justine this new color series is so helpful ps love how you matched your lipstick color to the color of your blouse❤
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!
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!

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.
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 💕

Yes that would be really lovely!

Yes please! And olive warm undertones! I’m so confused about those lol
@@carosamchwa3081 You have it easier though! 😭

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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 :))
Thanks Justine, it was very helpful to hear that brown can be a better neutral than black for warm undertones. I discovered this accidentally when buying my first brown coat last winter - it's been a game-changer! I definitely preferred the darker tones in this video with the exception of bright coral.
As a fellow Berliner I fully support your coup for more much-needed colour :)
Between Trinny and Justine you can’t go wrong with understanding colour in your wardrobe
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
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
Haha I didn’t know I have naturally made my whole wardrobe warm hues 😂
I love chartreuse, coral and peach as my pops of colour in clothes but mostly I wear tuned down colours.
Makeup- I wear a rainbow of colours on my eyes, today I wore neon yellow, peach and royal blue 😊
I love the earthy colors. Hoping you share some similar options for cool undertones!
This is very useful video. I always thought that i am having warm undertones. After watching your video, I am shocked that my skin color is not really matching with warm color. So interesting. Your video really helpful. Can't wait to watch your next episode. Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
Thanks Justin... I love your no nonsense videos... You don't waste my time. Yet the videos have appropriate information.
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! 😅😀
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.
I loved the deep red hues with a pop of coral. I’m going to try that combination! Another great video Justine. 🤎❤️🧡
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.
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.
I’ve let my hair go to its natural color of warm grey and I’m experimenting without any black or white. I’ve been lightening and softening my warm pallet, mixing with brown and grey neutrals. I still need some intensity difference in each outfit and some colour. My favorites are a dark chartreuse, brick, plum and a brassy gold. It’s been so much fun! I’ve created a warm or neutral base colour for each season, and then I added three accents in warm mid hues which all go together with my colouring, intensity and contrast. It’s very unique and I’m finally using decades of carefully collected pieces! I Love your show💕, thank you for this series! 🙏
Justine, you look sooo beautiful in that ruby shirt!
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.
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.
I have been looking for a channel like yours for ages and I'm so glad you were finally recommended to me on another one of your videos. Subbed 👍
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!
Absolutely loving your colour series Justine. I'm cool toned and my daughter is warm toned so have been guiding her on colour choices. We are both so much happier with our wardrobe content 😊 Thank you 😉
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.
Why can't I press like more than once? Thank you for this video. Since I started watching your content my wardrobe has turned into a (mainly cool-toned) rainbow. I can make warmer colours work as well by strategically placing them further away from my face, either on the lower half of my body or by layering something brighter that shows closest to my face underneath a warm toned top. Hope this tip helps!
We are lucky to have you on this platform!
Couldn’t agree more!
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!
Finally caught up to watch this video. Thanks Justine! I'm warm but not crazy warm-toned. My complexion is quite muted, so high chroma colours don't work as well, they drain me. I wish I could wear bright orange but I can't 🤣 At least there's terracotta ;) When you added the black to those first hues I was like YES that's what I like! I also like pastels, dusky pinks for example look nice against my skin 😊 Look forward to the cool-tones.
I've always been in the warm camp - using brown primarily as a neutral with lots of brighter hues depending on the season. It's no surprise that fall is my favourite time of year! 😁
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!
your makeup vs. clothes choice makes a lot of sense... well done!!
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.
so glad this series popped up on my recommended!! I'm excited to see the next episodes 🙏
I think this unfortunately? fortunately? solidified for me that I am as neutral as they come...I thought I was cool-toned for the longest time until I tried a neutral-toned foundation and it blended right into my skin. It makes sense now why my natural hair colour suits me - it's N E U T R A L mousey brown - and I tended to hair colours that were a combination of warm and cool (like a cool brown with a warm purple mix) 😭
I'm hoping there's still directions for neutral-toned people after your cool-tone episode because it feels like I have *too* many options, and none of those options really bring out the best in me. It's all 'meh'.
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.
Love the series. I've tended toward darker cool reds and purples. But as I get older these colors make my skin's undertone look gray. So thinking about more pastels. Oh no! I need help not dressing like an old lady.
going pastel is probably a good solution (without having seen you in real life), as adding white softens everything :-)
I love the brightest colours!
love this color series!! I love orange, corals and browns
Love this , I’m warm tone and love all the autumnal colours , but I fell in love with a navy blue trench which I’m pairing with burgundy and sometime mustards , I think it’s working well !!!
So this is why everyone likes my mustard jumper and beige coat. Thank you, Justine
I really appreciate this series! Personally, I love bright colors and they suit me very well. I just have a hard time combining them. I rarely own neutrals.
Loooove this new series so much Justine 😍 looking forward to the next episode since I'm cool toned, but really enjoyed this video as well! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Eagerly awaiting the cool toned version of this series
You can find rose gold in high end jewellery stores if you're after a more copper/bronze tone and don't want to wear costume or fashion jewellery. It has a range of tones so well worth a look.
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.
Thank you so much Justine! I find understanding my best colours to be terribly challenging!
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.
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.
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!
I love this series. I am warm toned, blonde and blue eyed. When I have a tan, however, I know I can wear almost every color on the color wheel. Why is that? Does a tan cover up your undertone? Does it change it? I'm trying not to get tanned anymore because it's not great for my skin, but I really love being able to wear the brighter colors!
As a naturally blonde and blue eyed Native American (directly descended from 3 different Native Nations), I have the same issues.
Warm undertones and having more pigment in your skin gives more "tolerance" to the non colors, you're blessed ✨
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 !!
I love the deep rich reds. I want to wear red but want the right one since I am warm undertoned. Heading over to the lipstick video and awaiting your next video in this series.
I understand that I have a warm undertone and definitely try to apply the color theory you are explaining so well here. However,, I love blues. I try to use them away from my face as in jeans and slacks for instance. I’m loving this series. Thank you.
You should be able to find a shade of teal that is flattering.
Justine, thank you so much for your videos! I"d love to see one for rocking a head wrap! Like a regal wrap. So many woman wrapping their heads for chemo or religious reasons. xo
Justine, thank you for this - absolutely brilliant series! I believe Im somewhere between warm and cool, yet not neutral perhaps more olive. What should us olive toned girls do?
Me wearing Mustered Yellow head to toe while watching the video 💛
I am warm undertone and really enjoy wearing jewel tones. Right now we are having winter and wearing bright colors is my preference for the season.
I love watching your content it reflects your efforts you behind making it. 💖
I loved the acid green. Green is my favorite color, even though I have a warm undertone.
Pleaaase! Make videos with complete outfits for each undertone! I love your videos!
I'm learning so much! :) I get a lot of compliments when wearing coral or dusky pink. I think my skin tone is warmish but not too warm.
I am cool toned and a bit jealous how warms can rock corals, peaches and oranges.
btw I also remember your video about choosing hair color according to your undertone, and distinguishing warm blonde vs cool blonde hair etc. A pretty important point when building a pallette, along with makeup
This video is amazing! I'm more a tuned down type of person. But I'm definitely going to use the tips you've provided. Thank you.
Enjoying this series's also good to remember one. Am tone with black or white in warm colors • if you prefer a lighter hue also great to mix with warm and bright hues. I.e. A less winter pallet.
I’m loving his series and learning a lot. I have green eyes and dark brown hair and light skin. I tend to wear pink or green and also like bright red. I. Struggling to work out if I have warm or cool undertones because I can’t wear blue OR yellow. When I look at my wardrobe choices it seems to be warm pinks and cool greens.
Wow , thank you so much for all the information. I love the warm greens and muted colors like the olives and muted yellows. The not too bright but still lovely warm colours. It's usually so hard to find here in Canada unless it's trending at the time . I hate it when all you can find is what everyone is wearing. I wish company's would make all clothing in warm and cool colours . I am a warm undertone person. Thank you for all the wonderful Tips. Love and hugs. 🙂❤
I prefer the toned down or more neutral tones. I enjoy a colorful skirt with neutral leggings and sweater. Look forward to the cool color episode. I'm also interested in hair color tones.
I am happily surprised by your descriptions of colour choice. Bright yellow will never turn up in my wardrobe but I am going to choose more copper and browns.
Thank you
Birdy
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!
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.
Love your well-informed videos, Justine! I'm a warm undertone, red is my accent colour and I'm trying to move away from black as my go-to neutral, especially as I usually wear it on top to balance out my inverted triangle frame. Hard transition, it's so practical!
Thank you Ms. Justine for your videos on color palette. I knew already what colour suits me and it made me feel better.
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!
This is a sophisticated way of looking at colors for your wardrobe. I have too many bright colors in my closet and usually navy is my neutral. I am looking for a more harmonious pallet. Thank you for making videos
Your videos are addictive, I learn a lot about style and fashion with you. Thank you.
Can’t wait for the cool toned video
Wow, that color red looks so good on you! I love dark, dramatic reds, but I'm so decidedly cool toned, I hardly ever find a shade of red that suits me. Well, at least I can compromise by wearing my nails red most of the time 😅.
Looking forward to next weeks installment. Finding the exact shades of the right colors is such a challenge when shopping. It's not just cool vs warm. I've found, that I look great in deep, muted jewel colors, for example, but not in pastels or bright pink or blue. Navy blue, charcoal grey and white are my best neutrals. Black is only ok and light to medium grey doesn't work at all.
It all still puzzles me a bit still.
I agree could you do a video on neutral undertone with olive that would be so incredibly helpful.
Can't wait for the video concerning the cool undertones!
This great video ended too soon :(
I have a warm undertone and I like the toned down hues more and I have noticed that adding a touch of bright red literally lits up my dress whether it is in the form of a handbag, jewellery or a pair of shoe and you just testified it! :D Thanks alot for this video..eagerly waiting for the next one!
