Hi! I just wanted to ask a question....

Does a person's season ever change or not? Like what if let's say her/ his skin color became tan or darker? Or does a person's season change over time as one ages?

@hypereactiveGBU15 Hello & thank you so much for your questions. They are excellent ones! A natural (not spray-on or tanning lotion) tan does not affect end results of an analysis. Generally a person's tone or "season" remains the same through the years. I am told, however, that some women become a slight bit cooler with age & can shift a bit in their color palettes. As a general rule of thumb, though, we analysts agree that a color analysis can last a lifetime.

The point of showing someone what colours suit them is so that they can buy them in a shop. Should they go to the "exact perfect colour shop" afterwards to buy clothes. In order to be of real value to a woman you need to help her to shop with realistic work-able advice but more generic - ie a summer can wear pink, purple, blue, sea green, red, grey, navy. Most shades and tones of those colours will suit as long as they are not too bright or too pale.

@SharConnolly Excellent and I agree! That's exactly what I do in real life for women all the time. We go shopping for colors that fall within an acceptable range for them....We build wardrobes around colors that mix/match seamlessly & also look good for their skin tones. I posted this video for those looking for the right way to get colors analyzed.....so that they have the right tools to find their colors in the stores! Thanks

@SharConnolly also, my clients are usually looking for the exact color matches, not just generic advice. I want to add that point b/c I think that most women are savvy enough to know that bold may suit them better than pastel color, etc. They know that a more precise color match will make them look sleeker, rejuvenated & slenderized, so they usually wait until they find those exact colors....then they invest top dollar for them.

hi there, based on the clothing you where throughout the video....just wondering what colouring you think you have? seems all over the place. also, the woman you say is a summer is cool. but cool and dark. is that not winter? seemed like she could wear more saturated colours. confused.

@leightroke Leigh, great questions & I hope to clear up your confusion. 1) I'm a Bright Winter, neutral undertone, bordering Spring in brightness/intensity. You are correct..I've lots of great color choices.. 2) Susan, my Caucasian brunette from other video, is a True Summer. Her hair and eyes both are a soft brown. They do not have same intensity of a True Winter. Both Summers & Winters are cool, yet Winter colors were overpowering on Susan.

Thank YOUUUUU!!! You know what you're talking about (Y) I always thought that there would eventually be more than 4 categories... I just thought 4 "seasons" for So many combinations was too little. Thank you for youre info! :D
