6 "tonal" families: Warm, Cool, Light, Deep, Bright, and Muted To address this limitation, this philosophy has 10 families: It's limited because there's no place for people who are truly more in the middle on one or more characteristic. But the Seasonal model forces people to choose one or the other of all three pairs. Not everyone is totally Warm or totally Cool, totally Light or totally Deep, etc. 12 seasons come from adding a third pair (Bright/Muted) The 4 seasons are from combining 2 pairs of characteristics This approach doesn't quite replace the seasons but it turns it on its head. Today I stumbled on yet another site, which introduces Tonal Color Families. And both my coloring and contrast are medium. But I felt like I was in the middle! I like strong colors, but neither Bright nor Deep and I like slightly softened colors, but not Muted. The 12 seasons are arranged in a circle like the 4 were: The True seasons at the cardinal points, then the others "flowing" into each other at the boundaries. But even those palettes leave off many colors I love, and include lots of colors I don't. So by elimination, I settled on a type of Spring. The other Winters attack me, they're so cold or bright. and I've never found a palette that really sang to me.įor someone who likes logical answers, it's tough to look at 12 palettes and like none of them. With a lot more experience in knowing my own colors, periodically I go back and read up some profiles, take some quizzes. (Not exactly the same 12 on each website, either!) There is also the "flowing" concept which was a lot harder to grasp. It's changed a ton since then, and the 4 seasons are up to 12 or more. Summer colors worked pretty well as a guide. I was also a child, with lighter coloring and golden-honey colored hair. When there were only 4 seasons, it was simple and I thought I was a Summer. Why do I dislike magenta and orchid? Why do I adore terracotta pink and grass green? How do I reconcile deep blue eyes and blue veins with warm hair and warm color preferences? Why do (almost) all lipsticks go pink on me? I like to feel pretty! And I feel pretty in lots and lots of colors.īut also, I like analyzing the Why of it all. I love color and seek it out and try lots of them, getting ever more adventurous. I've just had an epiphany, so I'll drag the subject up again!įirst, I know my colors. Now through June 24, the company is offering 50 percent off when you purchase all six packs in a bundle for around $200.This forum loves talking about personal color analysis. The bundle is broken into six different style presets: B&W, Cinematic, Film, Matte, Seasonal, and Spectrum. I’m OK with it.īut for those who want to save some time or just get a jump start on customization, the company also offers six Capture One Style Packs which include a total of 139 styles (aka presets) which you can easily apply to any image within the program. I’m just a bit obsessive and don’t have a very active social life. Personally, I spend hours on end devising my own color toning style presets for potential projects. This allows the client to see the final result in real time and ensures that we are all on the same page from first shot to wrap. The styles are essential for my own work as I am able to pre-visualize my color palette and effects prior to my shoots, save the presets beforehand, then shoot tethered during the session.

While the boosted productivity and easy collaboration with clients was my main reason for shifting to a full Capture One universe, it was the ability to use preset styles that initially drew my attention.
