They confuse me, too.

I hate colour breakdowns that basically ignore non-whites.
I have a mango enabler. He's going to buy me Indian mangoes. Woot!
I've always seemed to be a mix of Winter and Summer--I can wear jewel tones and black pretty well, and also pastels (every time I wear peach, I get tons of compliments).
There's an old guy at the office who knows everyone's name. Like, everyone. I know this, because he always uses your name when he talks to you, and he talks to everyone he passes. And he walks around a lot. It's pretty incredible. I meet with people and forget them the next week. Which is quite sad.
Timelies all!
I tend towards jewel tones and black, with some neutrals.
Yup, that Winter palette is me, except I can't wear much grey anymore: it's too close to my grey hair, and looks weird. I also can't wear small prints close to my face anymore, because of my multi-colored hair.
Strange things happen when you go grey.
I can never figure out if I'm a spring or a summer. I guess it's spring, because my hair has turned a strawberry blonde before when I've tried to lighten it.
I'm looking at random pictures of Trinny and Susannah, and they are quite often in colours that read as black on my monitor. They should be careful.
They reference black in the cool tone descriptions, though it's not in the chart on that link.
My problem is always that they say if you suit cool/warm/whatever these are your colors. But if I had a good handle on what tones suited me I wouldn't need the charts.
