When learning how to see color, comparing has been so beneficial for me! If you don't own anything in a medium olive green, I really suggest starting there. Use your color fan as guidance and get an item in this color to use as a baseline to compare against. Greens and blues are the easiest to start with. Reds and oranges would be next in line. Purples and yellows are the most elusive, so I'd leave those for last.
Pic 1: This is my baseline color
Pic 2: This olive is very yellow next to my shirt. If I can visually detect yellow, it usually means the color is getting too warm for me.
Pic 3: This green looks blue next to my top. But, it doesn't clash, and I find it to be flattering. Is it a summer green? Maybe. But it's soft, and I can pull it off, so it's part of MY palette!
Pic 4: This blue plays quite nicely with soft autumn olive.
Pic 5: Wow - this blue looked muted to me in store, but man is it bright in comparison! No way would this be a soft autumn color.
Pic 6: This soft navy harmonizes beautifully! It might be deeper than picture 5, but the muted nature of the color makes it a much better match.
Pic 7: Red! The brighter red is too overpowering, but the soft brick red is perfect.
Pic 8: Even though the orange on the left is an autumn color, it's nowhere near soft! Terracotta, salmon, or a muted pumpkin are the oranges we can pull off.
Can you see the softness in our best colors?
