So start off big (you’ll have more leeway here), and try to get a good grasp of your own colouring. Remember that at the end of the day you need to actually be able to find clothes in your colours, so don’t obsess about it. It’s about the colours that work for you, not an arbitrary name. If you feel you don’t fit perfectly into one of the basic four seasons, then you can try to wear your best fit out the four for a while and try to see where you lean.

This has a lot of subjectivity, but really good guide for first time playthroughs. There is Optimal Alternate Recipes – Pushing the Raw Resources to the Limits, which was about pure resource efficiency and maximizing the world’s resources. This has no subjectivity, but doesn’t care about power, items, or buildings. Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.

Whether you’re a beginner or even a trained professional colour consultant, I’d love to hear what you feel about this. You don’t need to match everything exactly to your palette, and as long as your outfit is mostly in good colours, you’ll be fine (so don’t throw away an item you love just because it’s not your perfect colour). Ask yourself why you are wanting to do colour analysis. Ask yourself why you feel you need to find your best 12 season palette.

Understanding the basic four seasons (and the tonal system) will be extremely helpful if you’re considering moving on to more seasons. You might not like the answer, but it’s having a colour analysis (in-person) with a professional colour consultant. If doing so, you won’t need to understand all the whys and hows unless you really want to. Your analyst will explain everything you need to know, they’ll do the analysis for you and explain why this works while that doesn’t, and you’ll leave the session with your seasonal palette in hand. You can try to fix your own car if it’s broken, but if you don’t know where the engine sits in the car, you really should learn that before attempting to open the hood.

No matter which system and how many seasonal subgroups they use (even custom, non-standardised palettes), during a colour analysis your consultant will 99% of the time start off with the basics. They will probably start off comparing cool and warm (some use silver and gold drapes, some use versions of red, some use other colours). If the client looks great in the cool drape(s) and bad in the warm, it’s an indication that the client is not warm-toned. Then they move onto the four basic seasons (they never move directly on to 12, 16 or whatever). So, let’s say the same client looks best in only the coolest colours from summer and winter, coolness is paramount – then the consultant will compare cool/true summer and cool/true winter. After comparing these, the client will most likely have their best colours.

Get a palette (you can get many inexpensive ones online) if you can and get to know it. For the four seasons you can get away with a digital palette. Is autumn your best season, but you look best in the most muted tones of the autumn palette? So, colour analysis, especially when DIY, takes time. If it was extremely easy to find your best colours, we wouldn’t need colour analysis, and everyone would always wear their superior colours.

Content from news organizations about a major developing news story would not fall under this rule if the site continuously updates the title throughout the day. I work in research and data analytics, so I use a lot of data analysis software. I’ve seen the issues that come alongside using Mac, how will Snapdragon be any different? In dire need of a new laptop, and the new Windows Surface range is appealing, but my plinko online gut is telling me to hold out until we know how Snapdragon really performs.

You can always ask your buddy who’s changed their car tires a few times what they think, but you have no guarantee they know what they’re talking about, let alone that they’re right. Of course, a wrongful colour analysis is very different to potentially making your car a death trap… But the point is that professionals charge you because they inhibit experience and knowledge that you don’t. In my custom palettes, this is accounted for, whereas some colours in my 12 season palette are better on me than others. A different true winter might do better in the brightest and lightest colours of their palette. Point is, you can divide a system up in a thousand subgroups, but there may still be some cracks that people fall between.
