Than am I right the hair is “coloured” in both situations, the eyes are “coloured”, and your skin is neutral. ![]() You had dark brown hair coloured but I suppose your natural hair colour was brown as well. Does using make up also creates a higher colourcontrast or only a higher value contrast?Īnd when I take your metamorphosis as an example. To me in the appearance of the face it looks the same. Why a person with neutral blond or brown hair the hair is “neutral” and when it is blond or brown artificial coloured the hair is “colour”. Now it seems like there is a difference between the neutral hair or when it is coloured. The more “coloured” the higher the colourcontrast and the more “neutral” the lower the colourcontrast. I tried to analyze the 9 photos and came with this conclusion. But now I have a question about the colour contrast. I do understand the value contrast, as it has to do with the darkness and lightness in the combination of the hair, eyes and skin. Hi Imogen, thank you so much for this post. I love to wear more muted or psuedo neutral colors of the high color contrast like dark/navy blue with peach or tan (blue and orange), like the post where you wrote where some neutrals can be treated as color when usung color theory, but this kind of color combination doesnt seems “high contrast” to me because the colors are low key. The only thing I dont understand with value/color contrast is how they relate to color properties. □ (Stylewise Im more of a camelont, but with colors/fabric,Im very picky!) Like, I always struggling with articles about capsules and starting-from-scratch wardrobes, because personally if I would start my wardrobe from scratch, I would start with neutrals because I find them more versatile, plus despite I love burgundy, darkblue and powderpink worn with black, white & taupe – I dont like to wear wear it 24/7! But i dont feel “me” in all neutrals either so those articles are a real pain in the neck. My hair and eyes seems to change slightly during summer (Medium-Light value and more colored ) and winter (medium-dark and low-medium value).īut one thing i love about these kind articles about colors is that they make sense and easy to adjust to and I understand why I dont feel comfortable wearing all-neutrals and high contrast colored prints. (burgundy & darkblue are signature colors in my wardrobe!). My personal style is more like 3, but the colors that are less bright. I find myself somewhere between 3 & 5 (Ruby & Toni), depending on the season. So thank you for providing valuable information. In any case, I still read and get other tips and do more research to fit my specific situation. It could be that your target market is different. That all said, a lot of image consulting as with most businesses, depends on your target market. Just wanted to let you know as a woman of color that I understand your dilemma and hope some of these tips could be helpful. Therefore, my other suggestion is to set up a pinterest page and get other pinned images and then put a link on this blog to those images by nationality with an explanation about coloring. However, I do realize that it is difficult to maintain consistency with image size for your blog when using resources such as wikipedia. I maybe incorrect but I heard that some of the professional stock photo sites will let some web owners use their professional images, which includes people of color, provided credit is given to their site.Īlso, I just checked and wikipedia has a few free images under shared use for: It takes even more time to find a cross section of images showing different values and skin tone for hair. ![]() But it does take time to locate those which are in color. From doing work online, many of the images of recent black celebrities are owned by Getty Images and are costly. I understand how difficult it is to represent the whole color spectrum.
