"I was wasting time and energy trying to figure out my color family with very different results from online quizzes until I found your site!

I thought I was Warm in some way but couldn't figure it out. Your analysis confirmed my suspicion and gave me the palette I was instinctively drawn to!

Simplicity, flexibility yet an accurate and satisfying range of colors. Thank you for answering all my questions, your friendly approach and professionalism. 

A great investment saving time and clearing up the confusion at a very sensible price too I dare to mention." Jenny, Greece

"Thank you so much for your elaborate analysis. The experience has been amazing and I appreciate every word and explanation you give!

I hoped you would tell me I’m a Summer as I am naturally drawn to those pinks and blues in cool shades. I have simply been so confused about my season after other analysts called me an obvious Spring because of my green eyes and in their opinion neutral skin tone. However, I have always seen myself as cool in both hair and skin so your analysis  reassures me that I was actually right! And I’m glad I purchased your service to give me confidence in this.

"At first I was skeptical as I'd always fancied myself Muted, believing that I had both warm and cool elements. I even purchased your Muted color swatch a year or so ago as I was drawn to those colors.  

But after reading your analysis, and eyed my wardrobe against the digital swatches you provided, I could see that I'm in the Warm color family. I just finished reading the information and learned that there is warm light, warm deep and warm muted, so my guess is that I was drawn to the warm shades of the Muted section of the palette.  

"Wow! Your result is completely surprising but well justified. I was thinking, maybe Soft Autumn, Summer was not in my thinking at all. That said it's starting to make sense.

In the '80's I was labeled a Winter but  it never felt right, too heavy. I've always had trouble blending my makeup to coordinate well with my clothing now I know why! It's growing on me, I immediately changed my clothes and feel calmer and more put together already. I've noticed that now that I'm wearing the appropriate colors I can wear more jewelry.

"I was very pleased to put my photos through Pamela's colour service. I'd been reading more about men's clothes during lockdown but received conflicting advice thinking I was Autumn.

Theory was no substitute for actually testing the colours and Pamela's process was really well explained. Her suggestion of a Winter palette and advice about suitable colors for shirts, ties and jackets resonated with what family and friends had complimented me on in the past. 

I've already made back the cost of the service by selling some clothes outside my palette and will doubtless save much more money in the future through better choices. Would 100% recommend." Mark, UK

"Thank you so much for your analysis, it feels like you’ve cracked it because I already feel so much happier! I was smiling to myself as I read your very detailed explanation and analysed the photos of the colour comparisons-the green and purple ones in particular really made it crystal clear that I am most certainly cool. It all makes perfect sense now and I feel that you have been able to see me differently to the previous analysts-much more in line with how I see myself-not at the extreme depth and brightness of the of the Winter palette nor the dusky softness of the summer palette but somewhere in between! That is what I feel is the missing piece and I am sure that there are so many others that are also “inbetweeners”. 

"I can’t express enough how happy I am with it! I had been wanting to finally feel settled in a season but neither Spring nor Summer felt completely correct and I didn’t understand why.

Your explanation of how the Light color family links the two seasons together, with both warm and cool colors included, makes so much sense. The fact that it’s not always critical to focus on undertone was a total revelation (and relief!) to me. And it’s perfect, because the colors I’ve always loved from both Spring and Summer appear in the light palette." Jana, USA

"I am so pleased with your colour analysis, so accurate, thorough and insightful, thank you! 

The Cool palette rings so true to me, and from your explanations I now see why I was never satisfied with being labelled as a Summer or Winter. 

I particularly appreciate your insight regarding my fair skin tone (you are right) and your recommendations for foundation and blusher. 

I have started experimenting with my Cool colours and am really enjoying the process. No question for now as I have to delve deeper into the files.

"6 months on - I wanted to share with you my epiphany, my brain finally clicked! This morning in my bathroom mirror (both robe and tile are the 'wrong' color) I realized that these colors confuse me because I am Winter and my skin tone is cool.

Long story short, I've been using the wrong makeup and making myself look sickly. Today the right foundation blush and shadow, a dark blue top and voila!

I also realized that most makeup people try to "warm you up" further adding to my confusion. I turn everything orange anyway so I don't need any of that, it's going in the garbage! 

"Thank you so much for my analysis. I think you are spot on & I appreciate the clear explanation & visuals to demonstrate the process. At one point on your website you connected color palettes to nature. So intriguing, the results on my coloring are also my color preferences for other things besides wardrobe pieces.

My home is also decorated in Autumn colors. It's interesting how one’s colors penetrate beyond the superficial. Michelle US

"Thank you for your excellent analysis. I was so happy to be finally affirmed a tonal season. I have struggled for years to see myself clearly, especially with the noise of others' opinions of my appearance over the years!

Your color palettes and outlines are very descriptive so that I can easily shop my closet first before 'shopping' with confidence. I also hope to surround myself with these beautiful colors in my home decor. 

I am so grateful that I explored your ‘body shape’ information too. It has helped me shop my closet and ‘retire’ things that don’t flatter my ‘Rectangle’ shape.  Laura, USA

"Thank you so much Pamela! I agree, I am much better with ivory than stark white, but I am drawn to some of the winter colors, like black and navy.  I thought I might be a winter or summer, but I do see with my golden skin and hair, that spring makes sense.  But I like that I am also Bright so I can wear some of these brighter winter shades like navy, royal blue, dark pink or black.

It's funny though, because Camel does look good on me, and especially Chambray blue.  Actually, most blues look good on me, except pastels.  And most greens except deep olive. A cooler, bright orange is great on me. 

"Thank you so much for your in depth analysis - it makes a lot of sense and I'm actually really excited!

I've always loved bright colors but living in a city for so long made it more comfortable to wear black and grays. I was a bit nervous about brights but it’s great that I can use/wear a lot of the neutrals that I already have (I own a ton of charcoal gray) and I can use accessories to ‘pop’ the brightness. 

I think I switched to safer/deeper colors as I got a bit older. My go-to is a burgundy with charcoal gray, but I've always loved purples and brighter reds. I'm really excited to continue on my style journey!" Juliette, USA

"an amazing experience!"

"I bought a lot of makeup in recommended colors and was "in a test phase". 🙂 I find it very interesting that I always subconsciously preferred Winter colors in clothes whereas my makeup was presumed to be Warm! Overall, I am enjoying this new experience very much.🙂

Thank you again for your time and for this amazing experience and I wish you all the best and a wonderful day."🙂Gaby, Italy

"having fun with my colors!

"Thanks Pamela, it will take a while to process but I love the way you show the Warm and Cool images together so I can see the difference. When I was younger I think I was more of a Cool but you are spot on that Summer is better now. 

Thank goodness for Poshmark-lots of Warm stuff going to sell! Thanks again. I’m having fun with my Summer colors"

Yes, I am both Warm and Cool, but most of all ‘LIGHT’. It’s so nice to have that all addressed with the beautiful Light color palette you have chosen for me.

It has been so difficult trying to find where I fit. Mostly, I've been wearing mid-value colors on the cool-ish side. I don’t wear many prints aside from stripes as they seem to compete with my clarity. Spring Colors that are too warm bring out redness in my face. Too pastel will wash me out. Perhaps now with the right color palette I will be able to enjoy a better mix.

"Thanks so much for all the detailed information. People always get confused with my photos since I am not camera friendly and I appear a shade darker than I am, according to everyone I know.

I always thought I have a warm skin tone, but it is surprising to see the cool element. I have been using warm-based foundations, but again, I often need to be matched correctly, and the ladies at the counter always send me home with darker shades. So I usually buy light-medium warm foundations online in any brand, which has worked so far. 

"Never had anyone tell me I had turquoise eyes before, I thought I was Winter like my mother. I've been looking at some old pics and making new discoveries! 

I always liked cream/ivory but didn’t know why; love the combo of gold/turquoise; I can wear true red and red-orange, didn’t know Springs could wear that, now one of my best colors. I love peach too especially with pearls. 

Absolutely you can use my comments/pics. I look back at old pics and my hair/makeup was so completely off. Garish is the word that comes to mind, actually. But once I received your guidance, I felt like my genuine self and my confidence grew.

"I am so happy with the wonderful and detailed analysis. With dark hair and eyes I always thought I was Winter or perhaps deep Autumn; but puzzled at not being able to wear Autumn cream/gold and the brightness/high contrast of Winter looked harsh.

When Pamela said that with a pink skintone and a softness to my brown eyes I suited Cool colours, everything fell into place. I would never have been able to determine this myself.

"My hair is quite white at 60 and I've let it come in naturally. I used to color it but realised that it was too dark for me. I've actually wondered what I would look like as a blonde! (Pamela actually showed me, ugh!)

But having white hair this last year or so has made me more conscious of the colors I'm wearing and whether it is flattering. 

Bright colors tend to overwhelm me and black is harsh. I do like to wear pops of color and not too many neutrals except in Summer when I have a tan. Louise, Australia

"Thank you so much. You are spot on. I have struggled with my own analysis believing I was a soft autumn confused by the fact that I knew I could wear orange colors well.

I believed I was soft and am still a little shy about calling attention to myself. Another issue I was having finding my colors was the degree of intensity. But you have cleared that up beautifully. I think my coloring comes from my maternal grandfather who was a redheaded Irish man.

I can't thank you enough for your analysis, I'll be following your website closely. Can't wait to go shopping you've certainly put a smile on my face." Rhinda, Netherlands

"Thank you SO much for this. It's absolutely wonderful. I had a feeling I was going to be either Autumn or Winter, so this has confirmed it and I'm very excited!

I am actually rebuilding my wardrobe 'from the ground up'. Most of my clothes no longer fit so I'm literally starting from scratch. I absolutely LOVE the idea of a capsule wardrobe, at least to start off with, so I'm trying to come up with a colour palette based on the analysis you've given me.

I think I've gone into analysis paralysis!"  Christina, Australia

"I've long wandered in the lands of Color Analysis before I fell upon Pamela's innovative approach. Nothing seemed to click, I was frustrated yet felt there must be an answer. Instinct told me this analysis would be the one, I was RIGHT! She explains the Seasons can be restrictive and introduces the Tonals as well. Understandably I was confused, Muted tonal is not common

Pamela has been great, open, patient, dedicated, very thorough with a trained eye to find the palette for a wardrobe that just melts with my natural coloring.

Years ago when the Seasons began to be mentioned, I felt I didn't really fit any of the categories. I was somewhere between Summer and Winter and naturally gravitated towards some of the colours in those palettes. It was nice to have someone confirm that. 

Most of my wardrobe fits the Cool palette but there are some fun colours I can try as well. I did find that L'Oreal has foundations is Warm, Cool and Neutral undertones so picked one in Cool and it matches great, makes a big difference.  I just need to find lipstick colours now.

Thanks so much for all your help.  I'm looking forward to getting the colour swatch. Susan, Canada

Pamela: How different siblings can be. Susan's sister Kathryn is above - they're polar opposites!

I love my color analysis thank you so much! Let me first say that your site is the first place that I’ve ever come across the Tonal color families.  I was always trying to decide if I was a summer or a winter; felt I was too dark for Summer but too light for Winter. And then I encountered a system that broke all the seasons down into three separate categories such as light, bright, and deep. I also saw the words shaded. How confusing! I really could not decide then.

Then I came across your site and pretty much figured I was probably either a Cool or a Winter but kind of also wondered about the Muted so I really wanted to have you do the Color Analysis so that I would know for sure.

It's taken a while...

It's taken a while but I'm starting to see this now. I've just ordered some clothes from Kettlewell and mentioned your name when they asked how I heard of the company.

How did you pick up Irish in me? Do I appear Irish? My paternal grandmother is Irish and grandfather is Catalan. All of my relatives on the Irish side have very dark hair, however, I have distant cousins from Barcelona who are gingers. Kellie, USA

This makes sense...

Thank you so much, this is very exciting and makes sense of what I was thinking. I have a lot of the colours already but now it gives me a much better focus and a good deal of inspiration. It also explains why some colours just don't make me feel good even though I like them!

I always wanted to do an analysis but found it too expensive but I think you are offering good value for money and it is equally effective online. Eleanor, UK

Coming out as a True Spring is a surprise but makes so much sense when I look at the pictures, especially as I've always thought peachy make-up and bronzer really suited me rather than pinks. No wonder I have been feeling quite drab of late!

You have given me the confidence to embrace some colours which I had thought suited me but was contrary to the cool palette I've been sticking too.

I'm super excited to keep my new copper hair and can't wait to brighten up my wardrobe. Deborah U.S.A.

"I've been searching for over 2 years for someone to do my colours. Anyone I found missed the mark but when I came across Pamela's site I knew I had hit gold!

Everyone looked so much better in their correct colours. I always thought I might be Autumn but some of the colours were just so off, now I know I'm a Summer and I love all the colours! I have gone through a lot in the last few years of my life and this is just what I need to help get back on track. 

Before: "I am a new mom since 6 months and I would like find the right colors to be prettier and feel more confident." 

After: "Thank you very much for this color analysis. I am very happy to finally know what colors to choose. 

I started buying a scarf with spring colors and I immediately saw the difference on me. I will continue with sun dresses for this summer" :)

Thank you so much - how wonderful to see your analysis it makes perfect sense.

In some ways I was slightly disappointed that you didn’t say you thought I was a Spring or a Light or even an Autumn just because it would be something that would be completely different and new to work with but deep down I knew I was somewhere between Summer and Winter and most of my favourite clothes are Cool coloured.

I love it!

Susan from the US:

Thank you so much! I love it! I will take some time this week to read and digest all the information. Can’t wait to dive in. By the way, You were recommended by Laura V. Several of us in that group find your analyses (even online!) to be thorough and so very helpful.

Your explanation of the Summer seasonal palette (vs tonal) helps all the others I’ve had make sense now. I'm really enjoying my palette.

Fiona, Australia says: I appreciate your help to all my questions. I'm really looking forward to identifying a pattern and understanding why certain colours and makeup works or don't work. I want to stop second guessing myself all the time over purchases and know what to look for. Thank you for the digital swatch, can I order fabric swatch from you?

Pamela:You talked initially about finding your personal style - well after seeing earlier photos of you I think you've definitely found it. With your short curly hair and colorful glasses it really sets off your delicate features and the vibrant Spring colors will be the finishing touch.
