As a former Image & Color Consultant in NYC for 17 yrs, I'm going to add my 2cents for consideration. What Jen is teaching are GUIDELINES & its best not to try to be so specific. If you feel a bit confused when purchasing Clothing, you have to consider other factors that influence the way a color READS. The finish of a Fabric effects the way light reflects i.e. a Shiny, SILK will read a bit different than a WOOL in the same color- one is more reflective, one absorbs more light. PATTERN also influences Color - Large Prints, Small Prints, Sharp Geometrics vs. Softer Shapes, etc. CONTRAST is also important. While Brown is usually not a flattering color on a Dark Haired, Cool Undertoned Woman (Brown REFLECTS unflattering shadows & can give a sallow appearance) but if she CONTRASTS the Brown - wears a sharp Color of equal Value near her Face, she can usually get away with it. COLOR is a wonderful TOOL in which to help begin to build a Wardrobe but you simply have to consider many other Elements to look your polished best! As far as the Cosmetic World, forget the "names" & just try them on! For Foundation, choose 3 tones, apply 3 stripes along the jawline, blend & then GO LOOK IN NATURAL LIGHTING. The one that blends & disappears is the RIGHT MATCH. I worked for Revlon International when they began color coding cosmetics 25 yrs ago & Names change all the time because they rename a color & re-market it another season. Use these Color Guides as just that, a GUIDE. You will go nuts trying to make everything ABSOLUTE across the Board. These are great Color Videos as they apply everywhere from Fashion to Art to Interiors etc. Enjoy! Its a wonderful System that will save you $ in the long run. Hope my Tips help. Good Luck!

How did you learn all that?

Thanks so much Jen! I really appreciate you doing this video about the color brown. Very helpful!

These videos are so awesome! All the color theory videos you have are great! Thanks for sharing

Would someone who is cool and with pinkish skin, still be able to handle the brown with red added? I would think the red would go well with pink tones? Like Rose brown for example.

Jen, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I am so in love with colour theory since finding your Videos. I have been on a journey to find the perfect shade to match my mousey brown eyebrows. 😅😅 Because I hate a really overly done brows, but mine do need a lil somethin' sonethin' because my brows fade into the background when I do certain eye looks. Are cool browns only made with the blue added.

Wow, I learnt more about colour theory here than in my makeup class. Thanks so much!!

Contradiction? Great videos Jen but in the last slide above you show yellow added to make brown cool (vs red to make it warm). Doesn't this contradict the earlier slide where you add yellow (vs blue) to make brown warm?? And isn't it also contradictory because the colour wheel shows yellow in the warm half of colours??

Hello there. It was probably a case of mislabelling, and she forgot to change the "cooler" to "warmer". Cheers

one of best lessons for explaining brown and i love how to show many ways to create and light dark brown and make it cooler or warmer , now i am not confused about brown any more , thank you!

Hi jen i love cool browns dark and light.And. cool taupes and they are very harmonious on me

You mention khaki as distinguished from brown and beige. Please do a video on khaki!

What does it mean if I suit yellow-browns but not red-browns? I know they are both warm browns, but I look ill with red-browns. Does this give me hints about what other colours would make me look ill?

This video I've been waiting for!!

So easy to follow thank you!!!!🙏🏾

This help me so much I’m trying to make my perfect nude shade

I am a strong cold undertone, and red-brown looks good on me. It looks good with my Hair, my Natural lipcolor and even my cheekcolor/blush. I am a person, not a season

I'm not a painter.I'm a full time home student with special needs.I'm mentally challenged middle aged single man without kids.Are these color basics the same for drawing that they are for painting?

This a truly educational love it

oh my gosh, I found this so confusing! I am desperate for some clearer explanation. Some of those browns on the left looked so warm to me.

Excellent color theory explained 💕👌🏼

Thanx. This was interesting and helpful.

Thank you!

thank you

I am so happy with this video. You are always informing Jen. Thanks a lot! .. I am cool/winter and would never wear brown because I still believe that brown even neutral is still warm and I absolutely don't like it on me. However for makeup I think a brown crease is flattering on everyone even on cool undertones but then I balance my look and choose a cool undertone color for my lid color ... and for contour a grayish brown is what I go for that's how I use brown personally 💟💟💟 I have noticed that some makeup companies call a yellow brown (cool) which is different from what you have explained and they call red brown (warm) ... which is weird to me since I think both are warm

Thank you

Thnk u soo much and i love your voice.

Amazing video, thanks for sharing ❤️

Was it supposed to say “warm” on that last pic? You said yellow added to brown makes it warm. Is yellow ever cool? Just clarifying, thanks!

Yellow is on the warm side of the color wheel. It is also a universal color. Yellow is considered a warm color but it can be cooled down a bit by adding white, grey or black. Adding yellow to brown warms up the brown. A yellow-brown or golden brown is always warm. Hope that helps.

Yes I was confused by this too. Why at 7.22 do you have yellow on the cool side when throughout you said yellow was making it warm?

Red is not necessarily warm though, it's really neutral in color, just like brown is, red can go either way.

i love the presentation

Thanks! Super heloful visuals.

I’ve taken numerous quizzes that say I am either soft autumn or warm autumn and I’m confused because my hair is a deep dirty caramel blonde but I was born with bright red hair so my hair comes off soft but in the light it’s very warm which has me confused on my coloring. I have cooler toned skin and olive green eyes. Help!

You're not autumn if you have cool tones

I prefer the cooler as my base. The warmer tones I love when I want a more pronounced brown. What does that mean? Am I cooler? Or warmer? An old it's + red for me instead of yellow

your videos are very useful for me as well just like for everybody.

Mind blowing

Good for hair color..

That was very informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge 🧡🧡

You are so welcome!

Can you do one with green + red with the white and black scale? I am see this for the sake of skin undertones. I notice that in all my foundations I have to add green primer to create the perfect match for my skin. All of foundations look too orange, pink or yellow for me. None which say "neutral" have that greenish made neutral. They are all made with red + yellow, blue + red, or green + yellow but never green + red.

So if you are a warm delicate would you still look good in cool brown?

Hello dear. May i know, do all brown colors in permanent makeup are a mix of black+red and yellow?

Also, which chart/fan do I buy If I would like a full chart with a breakdown of every warm/cool shade of every colour?

your videos are fascinating ahh

Does anyone else hate their coloring? I just wish I was warm toned. I’m literally a true summer. Cold 🥶 af

Jen, is the orange/brown segment the only one that can get warm shades via the yellow AND via the red? I can't think if any other color in that situation.

that's right

one morel question: how will i know a yellow is cold or warm?

how can there be a copyright on very old knowledge ? the Zorn pallette told us so.....

super aula de cores.

شكرا جزيلا

does that mean oragne +black= orange +blue, so blue=black?

Okay I get it😁😁😁

Genius

I have some paint that's dark brown but it's too warm. I've bought a gallon of cabinet paint. It was over $60. is there a color I can add to it to make it more cool?

Dede Vaughn you can add white which would cool it down a bit but also lighten it. Or black which cools it down a bit but darkens it. You could also add blue to make it cooler without lightening or darkening!

@@marinacover8699 thanks. I added blue. It didn't help. I'm going to take it to Lowe's and have them use tint to take the warm out of it and do it right, hopefully!

This is huge for khaki shopping, jackets, soft brown eye makeup etc

We winters can wear taupe.

I think I'm cool
