The Reason For The Season is YOU
January 11, 2010 by Christine Scaman
Among the 4 True Seasons in Personal Colour Analysis, there are 2 groups of people whose coloring has a blue-pink (or cool) undertone. They are the Summers and Winters. Their nature also tends to be less energetic and a little more reserved and slow-moving.
The Warm Seasons of the Springs and Autumns have skin with a yellow-to-gold undertone. They are lively, busy, talkative, and active.
Colour makes us feel certain feelings and think certain thoughts. A big block of why that is comes from the most primitive associations humans have made with colour. It is embedded in our genetics and the evolution of our brains from the beginnings of our consciousness.
Just as the energy of the 4 True Seasons follows the course of the year, from
the short-lived but almost frantically busy, almost reckless, activity of Spring
to
the hazy, flowing, genteel days of Summer
to
the time of yields and returns in the fields, of efficiency, and security, and responsibility in Autumn’s solid personality
to
Winter’s withheld reserve and its contrast of frozen yet shocking beauty. How can such austerity and colour severity be so beautiful? How can something so motionless be so compelling?
So does the warmth and coolness of the Seasons alternate in every 24 hour cycle.
Spring is a colour riot. It corresponds to the early morning’s optimistic business. The light is pale yellow, but there is a definite promise of heat to come.
Summer’s colours are seen between 12 – 3 PM where activity slows as the heat induces a softness and relaxed peacefulness to how we feel, as well as what we see.
Late afternoon light mellows and heats the colours of the world around us, just as it does to the coloring of people in the Autumn seasons.
Winter individuals, whose personal decoration in clothing, makeup, jewelry, and hair colour is stately, formal, and symmetrical, look best in the colours of the darker time when motion settles. This is a feeling of colour restraint worn in simple, contrasting ways.
Though there are 12 colour groups, or Seasons, among human beings, each has their special edge, their special effect. Learn what yours is and your appearance will crackle. Colour is above all a FEELING. People will keep looking for why you send sparks but they will not know.
Your thoughts project outward from you as a vibration. They are like your inner colours. You send an energy vibration by the colours of your body too. You have a wavelength all your own. Wearing wrong colours is a constant irritation because the wavelenghts don’t jive. You’re emanating too many frequencies that are all clashing.
Trying to look like what you could not be never works. Think about how you were INTENDED to look. You came here, meant to look a certain way. Are you close? You’ll feel it when it happens.

I love this!! I’ve always been kind of an aloof person — cordial, but never ‘warm’. Anytime I get exuberant or excited, somehow I don’t feel like I’m sincere. I wonder if this is true of all Winters?
I also wonder if it’s true that a redhead could be a True Winter? Because I went to Wal-Mart earlier today with a friend of mine, and I held up some colors to my face. Well, I found a few interesting things.
1) Silver royally enhances my skin and is the best metal to hide my imperfections on my face.
2) Brown looks just, there, on me. It doesn’t enhance me, but it doesn’t really blow up my imperfections either.
3) All the clear colors I looked at, and held against me, did the same thing as silver did, with the exception of a true red. Yet all the muted colors I looked at, against me, did the same thing as gold — blew up my imperfections, especially a pimple that’s sprouting atop my forehead.
Sorry for the long comment — I just found a few things about my coloring that were really interesting. And I *thought* that I might be a Dark or a Bright Winter, but maybe not. I just know that I *feel* like a Winter, with my colors and my personality.
Samantha,
Don’t know about all Winters, but certainly me and most I can think of. I will find myself in social situations where I get energized, but deep down, it always feels impostor-ish. Quiet and serious feels right.
My daughter is a redhead and the Truest Winter ever. In fact, red hair is seldom Autumn. ANY Season can have ANY hair colour.
It’s fun to think about. It’s even more fun to get draped, especially when you come into it with a good sense of colour and how skin reacts.
