Color Analysis: Intro to the Cool Dominant Color Home

Picture

Introduction to the Cool Color Home


In Friday's post, I shared that the warm palette is for women whose coloring is all warm.

I emphasize that, because most of the palettes are a blend of warm, cool and neutral. In any color palette, you may find that some of the colors suit you better than others, even though they are all colors you can wear.

For example, if you are Light dominant, that means that the most important thing about the colors you choose is that they be light. Not warm, not cool, but light.

Still, you might lean warmer or cooler in the color palette for your type and your personalized palette is likely to uncover that lean, if there is one.
​

Are You Cool Dominant?


If you have beautiful silver or white hair, then you are probably Cool. Easy peasy.

If not, then we need to know more about your coloring and level of contrast to know if that’s your color home.

​Try grey. If you are Cool Dominant, you are likely to look better in grey than any other type. Others can wear it, but in my opinion, Cools seem made for it. Also, try other cool colors like navy reds or cool blues.

And Cools need medium contrast, so if you are a cool, don't combine the darkest colors in your color palette with the lightest ones. 

Today, we are looking at an example of a woman of color who is Cool. Here is the outfit I picked out for her and the makeup look that could go with it.

Yes, isn't that a pretty blue? I always choose my favorites for these graphics I make. :) And that black cherry is smoking hot. But even if I were Cool, it would take over my whole face. I love lipstick, but find I have to go easy with it.

This whole series reminds me of the Tony Curtis/Marilyn Monroe movie- Some like it hot!

I think I've found my colour home! The black cherry is a great colour and I already have a lot of the colour combos you've discussed in my wardrobe. I enjoyed the read, thank you!

    ​Hi, I'm Jeanine Byers :)

    I'm an author,  Christian image consultant, proud former homeschool boy mom of a college student, Hallmark movie fan and big cuppa tea drinker. 

    I believe that creating your signature style is a spiritual calling. It's about seeing yourself as God does and delighting in your own beauty and style.

    I'm specializing in color analysis and signature style for black women.

    As women of color, we often aren't analyzed correctly when we receive color analysis. And all of our lives, we have been given sometimes subtle, and sometimes more overt societal messages about not meeting the cultural standards of beauty.

    My mission is to help you discover, embrace and celebrate your own beauty and style. 

    Thanks for dropping by! I'll see you soon.

    Love, Jeanine
