Nature has endowed each person with a certain color, which is characterized by the color of the eyes, hair, lips, skin. Features of the combination of these shades make up the color type of appearance. The theory of color types was first formulated by Johannes Itten, a Swiss artist. According to her, people are divided into four types, corresponding to the seasons: "Spring", "Summer", "Winter", "Autumn". In spring and
warm colors predominate in autumn, and cold colors in summer and winter. Differences in the range of warm or cold shades are determined by the contrast of color. For example, winter blue is more saturated, rosary, bright than muted summer. Knowledge of this theory may be useful in creating an individual elegant image, when choosing cosmetics and clothing.
You can determine the color type of appearance on your own, after conducting a series of observations. First of all, you need to find out which tone prevails in your natural color: warm or cold. Help with this will help colored paper or fabric in certain shades. The first sample should be cold (bluish pink). The second is warm (yellowish-salmon-pink). In daylight, alternately bring samples to your hands and face.
If the fabric of cold tone makes the skin of the face pale, the lips acquire a blue tint, and with a “warm” sample the skin seems fresh and healthy, then your color type
appearance - spring or autumn.
If your skin becomes fresh with a bluish-pink tissue, and yellowish-salmon makes your face tired and makes circles under your eyes, then you belong to the summer or winter color type of appearance.
Having decided on the tone, it remains to find out its contrast. Among spring shades, yellow dominates. Its funny colors are bright. Autumn gamut is based on red, therefore, the colors will be more saturated, heavy, contrasting, earthy. Summer shades are characterized by a light, blurry, muted blue undertones. In winter colors blue also prevails, but it is brighter and clearer.
If your appearance color type is spring - you have pale, transparent skin, a warm peach blush, and golden hair color. Choose clothes of warm, pale pink and pastel shades. Avoid dark and dazzling white tones.
The summer color type of appearance is represented by people with ash or
light brown hair, fair skin with an olive or pink tint,
blue, gray-green eyes. They are recommended to use blue, purple, plum, raspberry,
pink. Black and gray tones are best eliminated.
People with red hair, brown, green, gray-blue eyes, and ivory skin have the autumn color type. Their main gamut in clothes should be represented by warm colors: tan, apricot, brick, orange and khaki.
The winter color type of appearance is represented by dark-haired and dark-eyed people with light (sometimes slightly dark) skin. They are suitable cold, but saturated colors, any shades of pink, black and white.
