 Cool Brown
Are Your Undertones Pink Or Blue?
Are You A Spring?
Springs Are Warm
 You prefer warm colors like camel, peach, golden yellow and golden brown. You avoid dark, dull colors.

Are You A Winter?
Winters Are Cool
You prefer colors that are sharp, stark and clear. White, black, navy blue, red and shocking pink You avoid subdued tones like beige, orange and gold.
Many Asians and African Americans fall into this category.
Are You An Autumn?
Autumns Are Warm
Many redheads are autumn. You prefer colors with golden undertones, like camel, beige, orange, gold and dark brown. You avoid colors with blue tones, like navy.
Are You A Summer?
Summers Are Cool
Summers are often natural blondes or brunettes with pale eyes. You prefer pastels and soft neutrals with rose and blue undertones. Lavender, plum, rose-brown and soft blue suit you  while black and orange do not.
Brown and caramel complexions often have warm golden undertones.
Rich ebony complexions usually have cool, almost blue undertones.
