Everyone has unique coloring. Depending on the color of the hair, eyes, skin, and many other factors, every person represents and suits to a certain set of shades and colors. One can wear any color but what is important is the shade of the color. Apart from the complexion, another factor influencing the dressing of an individual is the weather. No one likes to wear a black dress on a hot summer afternoon at the same time no one would prefer a light blue in for a winter evening. All over the world, they use the so-called "seasonal" method, which divides all people into cold color types - "Summer" and "Winter", and warm color types - "Autumn" and "Spring".
The next charts show the undertone, value, and intensity of the two seasonal palettes:
AUTUMN COLOUR TYPE:
The typical features of "warm Autumn" are the skin of golden shades, hair of copper color from golden to bright ginger, and even red, warm shades of eyes (amber, nutty). Girls of Autumn color-type do not bear suntan very well, though light bronze tint emphasizes their beauty even more.
Best colors for the Autumn
The whole warm palette of the autumn sky, foliage, and earth are definitely for you. Goldish-blue, azure, emerald, the color of old gold, brown-red, ochre, mustard, khaki, champagne, yellowish-beige, fawn, copper, and bronze. Dark purple, red poppy, and orange will also do.
Shades to avoid:
Snow-white, black, pastel shades of blue and pink, cold blue.
WINTER COLOUR TYPE
This expressive cold color type is characterized by contrasts in appearance: black or dark chestnut hair, porcelain skin, and dark brown, green, or blue eyes. The skin is very light, almost white, and extremely fastidious to sun-tanning.

COLORING CHARACTERISTICS
Each season has particular coloring characteristics; knowing these can help you do an accurate analysis. Although a person may artificially change any of these characteristics; the palette outcome will not be affected.
The deep person has coloring characteristics of both winter and autumn. The hair is typically dark brown. This is the winter who can handle some cool red in the hair, and who may have a tendency to freckle. The autumn may have a very dramatic look. The eye pattern can contain both spokes and speckles. The colors are low in value, and neutral undertone - balanced between cool and warm.
