QUESTION
What is the Magic Color for those of us classified as Cool.? You might have posted it already but I haven’t found it.
If one is classified as Cool does that mean that you can wear all the colors from both Winter and Summer? How would that pertain to contrast? I think that it would be valuable to nearly everyone.
THANK YOU

Hi Carol
Actually I appear to have completed only the Seasons for Magic Colors - I must make a note to do the Tonal palettes!
As a COOL person you do have a tremendous range of colors to choose from but as your contrast is considered 'medium' then this is your watchword.
I would suggest that you avoid the palest shades of Summer and the heaviest shades of Winter. Both of these will need contrast to look good and temper them to 'medium'.
My favorites for your best colors to wear as a solid from the Cool color palette would be 'raspberry' or 'medium blue' both with sufficient strength to highlight your natural coloring. But there's also a beautiful purple you might consider which looks particularly stunning once your hair begins to transition into gray.
Hope that helps.
kind regards
Pamela
