A line or style analysis will provide information about the clothing that suits each body type best, but have a colour analysis first. Hence, Instagram.Ī picture is a story, whether a forest or a human being, and colour plays the first and greatest role by informing the viewer through colour per se, as well as its influence on shape and relative proportion. Deep could be synonymous with complex, wise, and penetrating, in the associations our minds make between visual and verbal language.
The tendency for light and shiny colour to advance and matte and darker colour to recede generates movement backwards and forwards to feel like depth, texture, and strength. From a social distance, the distance from which we might meet a person or view a work of art, this varied natural landscape, depicted in rich, low intensity tones, has great resonance.
#TRUE AUTUMN VS DARK AUTUMN SKIN#
The face and skin are often rich in detail, with lines, freckles, layered colours in the eyes, fullness of hair, all creating an overall impression of plush and pile. All faces have these qualities but an Autumn-coloured face appears flattened, like a plate, a distortion that is less evident when faces of other Seasons wear non-harmonious colour. In a face, this type of colour also creates shape and depth, which translates to three-dimensionality (3-D), meaning a distinct front and sides, hills and valleys. The feeling is safe, cozy, and secure, one reason that we don’t put fluorescent overhead lights in our homes. Colours are imbued with particular qualities as a result, appearing rich and warm with emphasis on shape and depth. This would be its sister-season.įor those who are obsessed with Color Analysis, especially the theory behind it (and there is a solid, logical system behind it), you will love to learn more about the ColorBreeze System.Ĭlick on the name of the sub-seasons below to learn more about each one.In the autumn time of year in the Northern hemisphere or the late afternoon of any given day, light from the sun travels a long distance at a low angle. Put another way, you will be deciding where that season seems to flow into.
I admit the last part of the process is trickiest: determining whether the soft season has any visible warmth or coolness in her coloring. But once you know the characteristics of these seasons, you will start looking for and seeing them often. Understanding the concept of a soft spring and soft winter may be brand new to you. ColorBreeze identified that and split them into two more precise seasons. So if you are knowledgeable about the 12 seasons, you already understand more than half of the system!Īnd if you are familiar with the Soft Summers and the Soft Autumns in the previous system, you might have noticed that there are definitely lighter and darker versions of each Soft Summer and Soft Autumn.
If you are overwhelmed with all these seasons, take a step back into the 12-season system.Īfter all, most seasons in the 12-season system comprise the ColorBreeze as well, like the Cool Winter, Light Spring, Warm Autumn, etc. This also completes spaces on my Color Tree, which was inspired by artist Albert Munsell. This brings a total of 28 seasons in the ColorBreeze Complete System! With the ColorBreeze Complete System, additional versions of Light Spring, Light Summer, Deep Winter, Deep Autumn, Clear Spring, and Clear Winter were identified as well. Summers and Autumns, whose chroma is already soft and muted, with have four total soft sub-seasons (meaning "soft" is their dominant characteristic").ĭepending on whether a Soft season has been toned with grey (lighter or darker grey) or toasted with brown (lighter or darker brown) will determine if they the 'flow' warm (sunlit or toasted) or "flow" cool (dusty or smokey). Even the Winters and Springs, who traditionally have clear chromas, will each have two new soft seasons. Within the main seasons, there are seven sub-seasons.
#TRUE AUTUMN VS DARK AUTUMN PLUS#
What is most unique about the ColorBreeze system is the additional soft seasons, plus some additional all-cool and all-warm versions of classic seasons like Light Spring and Deep Winter.Ībout the Soft seasons: All the ColorBreeze seasons begin with the four main seasons of Winter, Summer, Spring, and Autumn.
