I was on an elevator last night, and a man was telling a woman how colorful she looked. And she said she was a "bright autumn". Then she asked the guy is he had had his colors done?
Question: Isn't having your "colors" done a 1980's thing? Do people still do that?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I don't know if it still applicable for everyone. But, I do know that the colors in the 'Winter' chart do suit me, while other 'seasons' do not.
Yes, I'm a 'Winter.' Dramatic, don't you think?

Posted: 5/5/05 at 6:59pmYeah, Carole Jackson, et al were an 80's phenom. I had my colors done in the 80s and even now, if I stick to the "winter" colors, I look best. I think once you know what you look good in, you always keep it in mind.

Pinky - There are different shades and tones of pink. There's a pink for every 'season'.

Color Me Beautiful - it was a color and wardrobe consulting group in the 80s. Very popular. They looked at your hair color and skin tone and told you what season you were: spring, summer, etc. Each season had a palette of colors that would look best on them - as well as colors that would wash you out or make your skin tone look bad.
LF, let me save you the $100.00 consulting fee - you are a spring! And a beautiful one at that!

Posted: 5/5/05 at 7:29pmThe only reason I know what this means is because of "Roger and Me"- Michael Moore getting his colors done was hilarious. I think he was an Autumn.

Rath - I figured you were, just from your ethnic background. Wouldn't you say LF is a spring (blonde hair, fair skin)?
MFL - do you have red/auburn hair? I spent a year with lots and lots of auburn highlights and told myself I could wear brown and gold, etc. No way. The olive green stuff is still in the closet.

I only know I'm a winter. I can't assess anyone else, Bluemoon, but you seem to be an expert so I'll trust you.
What colors should I be wearing??

Oh crap, Rath there are @ 40 of them! lol
Let me think - deep rich colors - navy blue, burgundy, black, teal, forest green, deep purple, anything with a blue tone to it.
Also "clear, icy colors" - icy, pale pinks, blues and greens
Avoid: anything with an orange or yellow tone (like no fire engine red - use a red with a blue tone; bluish greens instead of lime green)
Ok, step right up and get your horoscope as a bonus.....

Posted: 5/5/05 at 7:50pmBluemoon-I have dark brown hair, almost black. I wear a lot of olive green and I'm told it's a nice color for me.
#16re: Having your colors done?
Posted: 5/5/05 at 7:58pmBut how did you figure out I was a spring? Did I miss something? Is the only reason I am not getting this b/c I havent slept in 3 days and am a blonde?
#17re: Having your colors done?
Posted: 5/5/05 at 8:01pmIs this for makeup... or clothing in general...

Being blonde has nothing to do with it - the 3 days without sleep? That explains a lot! Finals???
The picture of you that you has as your avatar told me you were a spring. Blonde with plae skin. Fun colors (my sister is a spring). Pinks, corals, greens, bright blues, etc. When you get some sleep, try to find an ols copy of "Color Me Beautiful". It's kinda fun.

I guess you are right, considering today I am wearing a pink and white stripe collared shirt, and an argyle vest that is comprised of mostly pinks and purples....I see now.
Yes, I just finished finals, but the lack of sleep has nothing to do with that. I think I am getting sick or something.
Can Springs wear leather pants? I really want a pair...

DayDreamer - the original book had clothing color and styles (a real hoot, looking back at the 80s styles now), but also had make up color guidelines. Carole Jackson - the founder - actually produced her own make up line for a while based on the seasonal color schemes. I have to hand it to her - her book said my eyes would look best with a dark, pine green eyeliner and it has made all the difference. On the other hand, if I use brown eye make up people tell me I look really tired. I'm sticking to the green!
Welcome to the board, by the way.

Answer: everybody, it seems. It's kind of fun to do.

The ladies will love you no matter what you wear - or if you wear nothing at all! You are simply lovable. Green eyeliner is for those of us who need to try harder.

Ok, *I* need to try harder.
