What was decisive in determining I’m a Soft Autumn?
When we analyzed your photos and color reactions, we saw several details pointing toward Soft Autumn rather than Warm Spring. Below we summarize the key factors we weighed in.
How we did the analysis
- Undertone – You looked great in muted pink shades and powder blue. Clearly warm tones like burnt orange and camel gave your skin an orange or sallow impression. This indicates a neutral to warm undertone, rather than a strongly warm one.
- Value level – Your features harmonized best with light to medium-dark colors. Deeper shades like dark teal took over and felt heavy.
- Chroma (clarity) – Muted, gray-toned shades lifted you most. Clear and saturated colors felt too strong. This means you need low chroma to maintain a soft and balanced overall impression.
Why not Warm Spring?
Warm Spring requires both clear warmth and higher lightness and clarity. In your photos, it was primarily soft, muted colors in cool-neutral tone that enhanced you. The clear, warm tones made you “disappear” somewhat, showing you lack the color strength and warmth that characterizes a typical Warm Spring.
Conclusion
The combination of neutral to warm undertone, a light-medium value, and the need for low chroma points to Soft Autumn as the most accurate season for you. While AI tools sometimes give other results, they often rely on fewer factors than a manual analysis. By looking at the whole picture – skin, hair, eyes, and how different colors affect them – you get more reliable guidance.
Knowing your season helps greatly with shopping and styling. Focus on muted colors in warmer shades and avoid colors that are too clear or cool, and you’ll enhance your features in the best way.
