- Your sexiest colour probably isn't bright red! On many people red can look harsh or even clownish. David Zyla's color your style helps you find your true colours, including your best alternative to red for when you want to feel sexy, sensual or romantic.
I filmed this video right after I moved in to my new house, so sorry if that's a little confusing this video got lost for a while!

My romantic colour is Berry Red! I feel like red does work for me most of the time, but its best when it leans slightly more pinky/purple. Orangey reds tend to look "off" on me
Same here, best is a bordeaux Red for me
Do you have olive undertones?
As a Deep Autumn, I usually wear brick red, mahogany or egglant when I want to feel lush, sexy or powerful 🥰
I really like your videos, they're really inspiring
I feel like I’m sitting between dark autumn and dark winter but burgundy and eggplant always work 🎉
My romantic color is probably closest to dusty rose, or a muted raspberry color.
nice
Been missing your style roots content, any possibility that we'll see deep dives into each of the rest of the style roots? Can't wait to learn more about the fire style root :D
Yes!!
Was going to comment this...anytime she uploads I'm hoping it's a style roots video lol
@@AboutBritney Me too lol!
same!
Same!!
I was actually typed by David Zyla himself and he gave me Benjamin Moore 2007-40 and 2007-50, which are coo[ish] pinks. 2007-50 is virtually identical to your blazer. I really, really like the Zyla system of relying on your very own colors of eyes, lips, and hair as the basis of your wardrobe, and find it much more useful than any of the prefilled color palettes.🖌
I actually like those pinks. The first one is super close to what I would say works for me too. Thanks.
My whole wardrobe is red. I love to combine different shades and since it's all red everything fits together.
Ha this sounds cool! 😎
@@ourcozycorner8517 Thank you!
Mine are definitely Poppy and Apricot. I have splashes of it all over my home, including a picture of poppies I painted.
Red is my best colour! It really makes me shine. I get it's not for everyone, though. I, for instance, look so ill in any shade of yellow!
I'm a Bright Winter with a limited palette and my 3 signature colours are cobalt, scarlet, and magenta. Because I'm not the girliest "girly girl" I naturally had stronger positive associations with the bright blue and red and gravitated towards them more, but as I've settled into my colour identity I've realized that my bright rose/magenta colour is truly the most flattering shade of all on me. It's my best lip and cheek colour by far and I've started to embrace it more in my outfits too. It doesn't hurt that Barbiecore has been so normalized! I'm also old enough to wear what I truly love and not worry about the potential judgments of others as much. I still love red of course, especially around the holidays, but pink is winning more and more of my heart.
I’m a dark winter and I’ve always loved burgundy.
Barbie Doll Pink is such a great color on me! 🩷
How her the whole frame and her skin changed right at the moment she changed the red dress with the pink dress is amazing
My romantic color leans more purple. So, fuschia pink. As a winter I can look good in red, but if it leans more pink and purple I feel more "me".
I just discovered how great I look in red. I am a bright spring and look great in bright neutral or slightly warm leaning reds. I also look really good in bright pink. Now red is the #1 colour I want to add MORE of to my wardrobe.
I’ve been obsessed with the shade of rhodolite garnets (deep pinky purple-red) as I think it’s flattering on me. I like to wear it in jewelry, makeup, clothes, nail polish but it’s a tricky shade to find sometimes.
I knew I have warm undertones, but the finger pinch test really proved that an orangey red is for me! Somewhere between apricot and scarlet! My favorite color to wear!! 😃
Hi😊😅
I always love watching your videos. Even when I've already determined that I'm a bright winter and I look my actual best in red.
I read this book cover-to-cover, and it led me to exactly one useful conclusion: if a color appears anywhere on your body, including a speck in your eyes, skin, or hair, it's worth considering. So it’s a useful approach to find your shade of red/pink, but it won’t work for everyone, and some people will have multiple shades that work.
Beyond that, the book is absolute garbage. (Oh, and I'm white with blue eyes and light brown hair. I can't imagine what would be going through a dark-skinned woman's head while reading this book!)
Yeah, the impression that I got about the Zyla system when Ellie first discussed it (in a vid some months ago) - that it's primarily for white people. For POC esp those who have darker skin, the colors would be 50 shades of grey and brown.
Bright winter here, my best red is magenta/ fushia ( like raspberry) .
I hope you do this for all of the Zyla ones! I struggle the most with not having pictures of what each of the names in the books is. Appreciate the visuals!
Me too
I'm preeeeettyyyyyy sure I'm either a soft or cool summer. I ditched red YEARS ago and every time I try to wear any shade of red, I feel like it makes me look sick 🥴
That’s simply untrue, there’s a shade of red that’s flattering for any skin tone. Stay away from bright shades of red that have orange undertones and look more at deeper reds with purple / pink undertones.
@@MoonChaser.Soft summer doesn't have red in it's palette
@@Chiafruity just google ‘shades of red for a soft summer’. You’re allowed to venture out of the restrictions of your colour palette you know, and there are plenty of colours that aren’t specifically in your palette that still look great on you.
@@Chiafruity Summers can borrow from the winter palette. They can choose a red with a blue undertone und smudge it out a little, to make it look "softer". Sometimes a stark contrast is also what you want...no need to be soft and muted all the time.
It's somewhat difficult but you can find more heathered or softened reds. I prefer the pinks though.
I enjoy your channel so much. I'm a summer and my style roots are the same as yours so it's a good fit. I love how practical and realistic but also playful and creative your advice is.
Love this video!! So fresh and helpful
When I have the money I need to have a consultation with you and pick your brain. You’re so knowledgable. Another great video as always!
Bright Winter here, and my best reds tend to be either blue-based or berry tones.
Same
As a soft autumn I love dark apricot, maroon and copper red
My romantic colour is definitely some type of rose pink. Most reds are very overpowering on my skin, but after I discovered light cold toned pinks I’ve loved wearing them.
That pinky red watermelony top is a gorgeous colour 😍
Hi😊
No clue what my color season is, cause true summer isn't quite it, but I'm high-ish contrast. Mine is definitely red and not pink, but it's not extremely saturated and not dark. A bright, light, cool toned red. Not good with names of colors lol. I like this theory and your others regarding color, but I honestly hate the color season theory, it seems flawed, I find it frustratingly narrow and hard to see myself in. But, all the other aesthetic theories are interesting.
I felt the same way until I discovered a slightly different but (in my opinion) way better system. Look at the channel Colour Analysis Studio. The Italian ladies from Melbourne have many great videos. I finally got my color palette back and I'm a cool winter! I thought I couldn't be because my hair isn't super dark, however, I still am medium-deep and medium-bright! They did such an amazing job and their videos are brilliantly done. God bless!
You look stunning in just about everything!
Mine is a coral-y reds/pinks
Loved this! Can you do a video like this for each zyla color !?!
I'm an autumn with medium olive skin. My romantic color is in the range of brick red to maroon.
I have become such a fan of yours this week I have watched so much and it’s getting me excited about fashion agin! I’m a soft summer love video on that! I’m also moon, mountain and fire! Thank you for your content it’s amazing!
Hi😊😅
My romantic colors are dark reds like burgandy and cool tone reds . Been noticing got a handful of looks when wearing my color palette on everyday basis even when livin in a tropical country
As a bright spring (I've got my color analysis with professional) the option A surely suit me best! I love the apricot peachy tone and the cherry red tone when i want to feel sensual and lush
I have the apricot peachy tone as well as a bright spring.
My romantic color is purply raspberry/plummy burgundy. My best find is a winter wool coat in exactly that color.
Red is maybe my best color but I loved this video anyways!!❤
I'm a dark autumn, my true romantic colour is deep Salmon/ brick red but they're exceptionally difficult colours to get hold of especially in a piece i like. My other romantic colour is deep red which again very difficult to come across so i don't have any of these colours apart from 1 top in the dark red which i get a lot of compliments in.
Hi😊😊
Great video Ellie-Jean.
On a side note, the top you showed does look tomato red on my screen, as you warned, and your fave raspberry lipstick looks browny-orange. You've prompted me to learn how to change the colour profile on my computer. No wonder I have never been able to make any sense of photos shown up by many online colour stylists as prime examples or "warm" or "cool"!
edit: did my best on my iMac to "shift the white point into the cool zone" but your lipstick still doesn't look cool in value. I guess I'm stuck with a warm value display. But at least I know now. Unless you are using warm lighting? or warm-value reflecting surroundings? have you tried to video yourself without the "pink" ring light? it would be very interesting to see a video of you in true daylight!
My romantic color is this cool toned vibrant pink color. It looks amazing on me.
I looooove pink. I had my hair dyed pink for more than a year quite recently. Lately, I've wanted to keep my hair more natural (thought the tips are still a bit pink), but I like to say that pink is my "happy color." Warm browns, tan, and ivory are my neutrals. Otherwise, most of my wardrobe is in shades of green. Bright saturated spring greens, army greens, forest and sage. I feel comfortable and confident in green, but a nice orangey petal pink is my soft inside self.
I think mine is dusty pink. Like almost mauve pink. It also goes very well with my turquoise hair
Idk for me, those somewhat reserved, mysterious or smoky pinks and purples are my romantic passionate colors and red seems bold and almost corporate. I seem to lean towards dusty rose, purple lace etc for this area. This is something I've been curious about if fire is one of my style roots.
Your clothes are very pretty. Maybe it is just my country, but there are plenty of black, white and grey clothes in chain stores, some Barbie pink thanks to the movie, and the other shades and colours are quite hard to find.
I'm looking at something between a cherry and plum, like a burgundy, or some kind of light red wine.
I'll have to think about it, but most date nights I think I've worn black, burgundy, greens or a cooler purple of some kind. Green is my best color family, black is just all around classic for my skintone & look. I think reds like burgundy are best for a more smexy romantic & soft cool purples for softer romantic on me. I'm not a fan of pink, but I can pull off a darker magenta lipstick like the Maleficent lip color Colourpop made a while back.
mine is a good range but I choose 4
Puce
Pale mauve/mauve
Pale red violet
Wine
Hi😊😅
between rose gold and (take a bright berry red and mix a warm medium grey in it) i think it’s a dusty pink/red 😅 something like this, or even orangy brown colors look good something like terra cotta
but i like neutral to warm pinks on me the most that are not too bright
Love your videos! In all formats, but when you are making full length stuff I wish you would be a little slower so I don’t have to pause and go back 37 times to read the small texts and rehear what you actually said 😅 Love you EJ ❤
Tip for this, you can go to settings and select a slower playback speed 😊
I usually have to speed people up but this pace is comfy for me
I love her pace many ppl talk too slow for me 😫
I have the Vinyl Ink Lipstick from Manhattan in the shade Lippy and everytime I wear it, I feel like all my features come together, its crazy. In terms of clothes it seems to be leaning more into a Burgundy shade. Very interesting but still difficult :)
Could you do some testing on the lipsticks/lip blushes that are supposed to match or compliment your own PH to turn a colour suiting you? I have loved the lip blushes by Tom Ford but they are so pricy, I would love some other suggestions!
Mine is a deeper raspberry color! In general deep muted berries are much better for me than true reds.
Hi
I think I’m a deep autumn that lies very close to deep winter… my complexion is literally like Salma Hayek which everyone still debates about. I can wear winter reds and autumn reds fairly well as long as they are truly deep colors.
BRIGHT SPRING here. My best color is clear warm magenta
My reds are wine, plum, and garnet.
when I started to watch this video I suddenly realised that I cannot imagine red as my romantic colour because it’s my warm cozy colour. i look very casual in black and deep colours, but when i wear white, nude, beige and leo-print this is where I feel sexy/romantic/sensual
I'm Winter season so some red and pink tones are my allies. Specially red.
I remember many women that saw me wearing red said to me "Girl! If you want a boy falling for you.... Wear red. It's your colour".
And I think it's right. I'm more into red than pink, but i have both in my closet
Where can I find the David Zyla's color list?
Thats so cool! How would you find your essence color? If you're bright winter, would red be OK for romantic color?
Like a highly contrasted, but cool toned red?
Another great video as usual! Just wondering: do you (or David Zyla) think this theory also applies to men?
great question. clothes, makeup, and accessories are just objects that don't have genders like people do. therefore anyone can put anything on their body, though depending on where you live, people might discriminate against you, assault you, or even arrest you for what you wear. most style systems are based on geometry and color theory, which apply to everyone. zyla's system is based on the undertones of skin and hair, which all people have, so yes it would apply to men.
People always tell me bright red is my color. But I'm a flamboyant natural and a lot of clothes that color don't gear towards my body from what I can find. The hunt goes on!
Quick question-have you gone to physio? I just notice that your right hip (my left) comes up a bit. Mine did that because it was out of place. It can be a genetic thing when the hip falls forward and the muscles around it aren’t strong enough. And I just know it can make your knees, ankles, and/or back sore or tight, and make one of your legs a slightly different length. A physiotherapist put mine back into place and my hip felt way looser and I grew by like half an inch.
(You look beautiful. I’m just mentioning this in case you’ve had pain and didn’t know what it was)
I've been watching your content for quite a while now and I really like the theory behind all of this, and I understand your examples. But I would really like to see some skin color diversity in the pictures you show for the explanation. I don't think I can follow up with just one light skin color example such as your own. Could you please do a little more latina examples, or other skin tones? Please?
I think my romantic color is more of a fusha. A mix of pink with purple. I have purple in my lip color.
I think mine is coral ❤️
I also look good in coral and I mostly wear it on my lips and nails. I think it's really hard to find clothes in this colour, sadly. 😢
@@kari0675 I agree, It's sometimes easier to find clothes in the summer, but still hard. It's always my go to nailcolour though.
In the winter I sometimes switch to a warm burgundy. I'm an autumn btw.
I'm about to find my perfect one by using rit dye remover on most of my non denim 98% cotton 2% spandex jeans and do some color recipes cause I'm cheap lol
My romantic color is Coral, kind of a burnt coral but I go with coral. Its hilarious because I have only been able to find coral in the most oversized lounge wear. I cant imagine finding it in nighties or wall art.
Can you pretty please do a series on the rest of the Zyla colors??? This is SO much easier to understand than the book.... he didn't include any pictures of the colors so I'm SOOOO confused!
Hi😊
My skin is darker, so it's hard for me to pick. As a bright spring I know I look great in scarlet and coral, but with this system it sounds like I'd be more of a brick or burgundy, which actually does look great on me despite my colour season
I feel like my Romantic color would be a mix between rose and ballet pink. Any idea what that would be called? 😅
What if our colors are not in the same season (one cold, one warm,) how WE Can defin our Season please ?
I got a lip tint in my romantic color (dusty rose) and then realized why that was silly - they're the same color
I think as a soft autumn that candy apple red and burgundy really suit me. Soft and luscious are two of my favourite adjectives in terms of colour.
I get so confused because as a light Spring, I just discovered that watermelon is supposed to my one of my colors, and with those bright pinks, I have a hard time telling if they have a slightly orangey cast to them , meaning they would go well with my skin tone, or if they have a more blue cast, meaning they would not go well with my skin tone. Also you used the term “watermelon,” which in videos and articles I have read is defined as a bright warm toned pink, and not a cool toned pink.
mine is a very dark red, sometimes more muted, sometimes brigther... a little bit purple, you know? I'm a deep/bright winter. And I can't wear anything that leans orange!!!
how should darker skinned people find their romantic color
My guesses are that looking at what kind of pink/red lipstick shades suit you best could point you in the right direction? And pinching your fingertips like she mentioned might still work since the palms of the hands are lighter in colour than the rest of the skin?
Also from what I understood Zyla’s theory isn’t just about exact colour matches but also what harmonises and brings out certain features, or finding a match more in the way someone might put together a tonal outfit. Some of the colours aren’t colours I’ve seen on any person so that’s why I understood it like that but I could be completely wrong about all of this
I have this blouse that I can't part with for the life of me. Why? Because it's EXACT my romantic color. I do the finger pinch test and it basically blends right in. I found those blouse by accident as a young teen and now I'm in my 30s. Since finding Ellie, I've been using it as a template for my wardrobe.
What´s the name of the book?
My romantic color(s) is all pinks. And I hate pink so much 😒
I am pretty clearly a soft summer though so maybe there are some other ideas I can play with. I just can’t fathom the idea of wearing a big pink thing. Pink shoes are the max I’ll go.
I feel absolutely no relation to any of the colors referenced, unfortunately. My pinched skin and my bitten lips appear warm, but none of the warm colors shown match even remotely close. Hm, maybe the coral pink, but the pinched skin looks more like indian red (the lighter version) and my bitten lips look more like the slightly darker and brighter version of indian red. Both are somewhat close to coral, but slightly different. I know my lips can turn very bright in color naturally, so much that some people ask me what lipstick I wear. (My mom even told me once my lipstick was a bit bright for her liking when I wore nothing on my lips at all.) It depends on the wheather a lot. If I would try to find a lipstick in that color, it would be rather tricky. It's almost like a bright medium pink and a bright medium orange had a baby... with a little more pink than orange, but still warm, visually leaning red if that makes sense... I once bought fabric in a color called "carmine pink" and that fabric looked a lot like my lips when they are at their brightest. But when I google that color it looks way different than the fabric color does. I usually wear coral red lipstick and dab it into my lips with my fingers to melt the color into my lips. It does look like it enhances my lip color rather than overpowering it. I know that raspberry is too cool and a bit too soft for me, but the value of the color is nice for me. I wanted to try tomato red lipstick, but couldn't find one in the drugstore (in Germany) yet... reds can work for me if the undertone, value and chroma is right, but atm you can find mostly cool toned reds and a lot of them are too muted and dark for me.
💛
binge watched Ellie's videos on this, bought the book, read through it.
all clear BUT my energy color vs my first base... the darkest spots in my eyes are, well, pretty much black (rest isnsuper dark brown), and the ring around my iris is charcoal grey. which fits my closet: I have a lot in grey, and if I want to feel empowered I wear all black, and usually get told that I look amazing.
has anyone else had this? can black be my energy color while 'my version of black' is charcoal? do I maybe just get too hung up on the word black and should purely look at the functionality of the colours?
This is absolutely right - your version of black doesn’t have any relation to the colour black at all, it simply means your dark neutral, and it makes sense that you could find a shade of black elsewhere in your true colours ♥️
@@elliejeanroyden thanks so much, this is so insightful!
and thanks for sharing you knowledge with all of us on this channel!
What do you do when you’re very pale skinned put your skin is flushed all the time like I can’t even work out with her being red and blotchy would that mean any shade of red or pink would not look good on me?
I think if you find the right shade of red it will make your skin look more calm. But, that's just my opinion. :)
I feel like I'm like this. I need to 100% wear makeup, at least concealer/color corrector or some foundation to cancel out the redness before wearing pinks or reds. I can't go around it or it just won't work.
@@annamarihiljanen5221 welcome to the rare club of the pale red skin tones also known as white devils 😅 it sucks I get tired of people asking me if I’m feeling OK or if I’m shy when my face is flushing and I’m not shy I’m just sitting there doing my work let’s forget about exercise I turned into a tomato 🍅
I feel that very light muted olive people get left out of a lot of colour theory. I guess dusty purple for me? I don't like it lol.
Hi😊😅
❤
i’m very confused, red comes in so many shades, saturation levels, chromes, ect. there’s a shade of red for almost everyone
lol but I’m a winter
Me: /finally purchases a red pair of ballet flats after months of deliberation
Ellie-Jean, later the same day: "Stop wearing red."
😅
Red isnt the best on me. Tomato red is ok but looke more fun than sensual. I love fushia ❤
Would you say that if you know your color season, your romantic color would be the reds/oranges/pinks in your season?
Why not cover examples of other seasons in more detail?
👍🏻👌🏻
I pinch my finger and it’s yellow what does that mean 😂
Look good with red not orange red tho bc I’m a cool tone
PLEASE PUT YOUR MARILYN VIDEOS BACK UP
As someone between true autumn and deep autumn, Red IS my romantic color. When I get paler in the winter, I go for a orangey red. In summer I go for maroon or any darker shades of red.
But brown and orange are also my favorite colors.
Love your videos! they help me style.
I'm looking at something between a cherry and plum, like a burgundy, or some kind of light red wine.
