What is the difference between warm and cool undertones?
Warm undertones run yellow, peach, or golden under the skin surface. Cool undertones run pink, red, or bluish. Neutral undertones combine both. The flattering colors of each are opposite: warm undertones flatter gold jewellery and earthy palettes; cool undertones flatter silver jewellery and jewel-tone palettes.
Three traditional checks help self-identify undertone. First, look at the veins on the inside of your wrist in natural light: green-tinted veins suggest warm; blue or purple suggest cool; both suggest neutral. Second, compare gold and silver jewellery against your skin: whichever brightens your face more reflects your undertone. Third, in midday sunlight, observe whether you tan to warm gold, burn to red, or sit somewhere between.
Undertone is independent of overall skin depth. A very fair person can have warm undertones (a peach-skinned blonde) or cool undertones (a porcelain-skinned redhead). A deep-skinned person can be warm (mahogany), cool (cocoa-with-pink-flush), or neutral. The mistake most often made is conflating darkness of skin with warmth of skin.
Color Analysis reads your undertone from a selfie and tells you which of warm, cool, and neutral you are, then names the seasonal palette that flatters you. Side-by-side comparisons let you see your face under warm and cool palettes rather than just be told.
