The 4 Missing Color Seasons They Hid From You

What if the reason your seasonal color analysis never felt quite right… is because your season was missing entirely? In this episode of Color Class, Sara and Lucinda reveal the FOUR missing color seasons that were left out of traditional seasonal color analysis systems — not because they weren’t real, but because of economics, manufacturing limitations, and inventory costs from the original color palette industry. If you’ve ever been professionally typed and thought: “I can wear SOME of these colors… but something still feels off,” this video may explain why. From Soft Winter to Clear Autumn, we dive into the hidden palettes that bridge the gaps between the traditional 12 season color analysis system — and why modern digital color analysis finally allows these palettes to exist the way they always should have. You’ll learn: ✦ Why the traditional 12 season system left out 4 entire palettes ✦ The real history behind Color Me Beautiful and seasonal color analysis ✦ Why some people never fully fit into Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter ✦ What Soft Winter, Soft Spring, Clear Autumn, and Clear Summer actually look like ✦ Why hair color changes EVERYTHING in color analysis ✦ How contrast, clarity, and depth interact in real life ✦ Why “warm vs cool” is NOT enough ✦ The science behind clear vs soft characteristics ✦ Why digital printing changed the future of color palettes forever If you’ve struggled to find your colors, felt boxed into the wrong palette, or thought your features didn’t fully match your assigned season… this video is for you.
