Color Analysis Cool

Is this your color palette?

Looking your best starts with understanding your natural coloring and echoing it with the the colors you wear.

Translate it further still into the colors you use for your hair and makeup.

If you are Color Analysis COOL, you will always look your best when you're wearing rose or blue toned shades that echo your Cool blue undertone.

Colors with a Warm or golden undertone can make your complexion look quite yellow - and you look ill.

COOL is your Color Family and your color direction.

First match your coloring

Your overall look can sometimes be misleading and, at times, you might feel colorless, sallow or even florid.

A change of tone brings it all into perspective and the glorious colors in your Color Family will enhance your Cool / blue undertones bringing your natural coloring to life.

The veins in your wrist will be blue toned too.

Your eyes: will be blue, grey blue, green or blue green. They may even be rose brown - whichever color they will all have a grey cast with a darker rim around the iris.

Your Skin tone: is likely to be ivory, rose beige through to beige. If you find that a true beige foundation looks very 'flat' on you, this is because you have a blue/pink undertone to your skin and need to look for a modicum of pink in the foundation.

Your Hair: is light brown through to a cool mid brown - always with ash tones.You may have a few red tones in your hair if you're in the sunshine but it's preferable to play these down! If you want to add highlights keep them Cool, ash toned.

COOL blue undertones create balance

Every single person with cool coloring will not look exactly the same but the primary impression is always a cool ash tone.

The cool and sophisticated tones of your COLOR FAMILY will match and enhance your natural warm coloring. Your skin will look fresh and clear, your eyes brighter and the shade of your hair more intense as you create Color Balance.

Your most flattering colors are always those with a blue undertone.

clear and strong jewel tones

pretty pastel pink through to luscious raspberry and magenta

clear blues through to blue/red and maroon

lavender through to a strong cool purple

blue greens, jade green, violets and purple

Your best neutrals are silver greys, charcoal, navy or black

For summer taupe is great for linen separates

Your Color Family has the whole spectrum of Cool tones - both light and vibrant and deep and soft - all with a crisp blue undertone.

Whether the colors are the light and softer shades shades of Summer or the deep and strong shades of Winter, it is the COOL characteristic which always dominates.

You're very nearly Summer and Winter but not quite...

Although the COOL color swatch encompasses many of the shades featured in the Summer and Winter palettes, the Seasons have other elements that don't relate to your coloring.

Your primary consideration always has to be identifying the truest blue undertone so only the true COOL shades from Summer and Winter are included.

If your coloring is light then the lighter shades will flatter your complexion near to your face. If your coloring is stronger then the deeper shades will echo your natural contrast.

But this is by no means always the case as it's often mood and occasion that influences your choice of colors.

How to visualize your colors...

It can be difficult to visualize how the colors from your swatch come together in an outfit.

If you'd like some real visual inspiration, take a look at a beautiful range of jersey separates and dresses which bring your Color Swatch to life from Kettlewell Colours.

Colors to avoid

yellow tones or anything with a Warm undertone (apart from a sharp icy lemon)

salmon, orange, moss green, most browns especially ginger tones

anything muddy or dull

How to cope with hard to wear colors

If you particularly like some of the 'colors to avoid' or they are fashionable, simply keep them away from your face and team them with sharper cool tones.

There are always ways to make things work; a scarf of your cool tones near to your face, a collar over a jacket, even a pair of white pearl earrings will introduce COOL tones.

All you need to enjoy your COOL colors...

Cool makeup

Makeup is all color. And choosing cool makeup is just like choosing an outfit for your face, after all it's the first place everyone looks.

Just follow your color direction and it's easy to find the colors that allow you to shine.

Neutrals for Cool coloring

It's easy to get excited about a Color Swatch and, certainly, the Cool color palette is very wide.

But until you clarify your basic (almost boring) neutral shades, it's impossible to begin any kind of color co-ordination.

Blue blood?

Do you have blue-blood? If you have cool skin, the veins on your wrist will appear blue, whereas on a warm skin the veins will appear more green.

Both our QUEEN and our beautiful FUTURE QUEEN have Cool coloring and although Kate's eyes are slightly different color it's likely that her hair will turn to the same delightful silver as the Queen. Perhaps there is something about BLUE-BLOOD after all!
