Starting point is 00:00:43 Hello. This week we're doing a bit of a deep dive on color, obviously my favorite subject of all time, because it's at the heart of everything I do. However, it's because the weather seasons are changing around the world, and I feel like there's always a real big shift in the colors that you see in stores and the colors that people are wearing because of what they see in stores, when the weather seasons change from cool to warm like we are in the southern hemisphere, we're coming out of, we've come, and we're heading into the weather season of spring and summer. Likewise, in the northern hemisphere, you're changing
Starting point is 00:01:18 from being the warm weather seasons of summer and you're moving into the cold of fall and winter. Now, I know it gets really complicated because of seasonal color analysis, literally being called the same thing. I will always say weather or cold months, warm months, because I think that makes it easier so I don't confuse the hell out of you, basically. So I'm going to start with the Southern Hemisphere. Now, as always, I do a lot of research when I do these kinds of podcasts and blogs. So this will be a blog as well so that you can refer back to it. So that will all be in the show notes. But I just want to say that when I do all of this, this is what I've seen also from influences or people who are online in the US when I'm talking about the colours that are coming in
Starting point is 00:02:05 for the Southern Hemisphere purely because we follow the trends of what the Northern Hemisphere has already done. So essentially, we are always six months behind. So the colours that you have seen people wearing on a Europe vacation or in the States or in Paris or anywhere in the Northern hemisphere, that's what you're going to start seeing filtering through into the southern hemisphere, which I actually find really interesting because then I actually start to see it. And I'm like, oh, you see things, which you know I don't follow trends, but obviously you start to see trends coming out and you're like, oh, actually, maybe that would really suit me. I would like to try that because, you know, I only tried trends if I feel it's going to be
Starting point is 00:02:45 something that I want to wear, not because I have to stay modern and relevant. That's a whole other topic I know. but then I also see colors and I'm like, oh, that's really interesting. That's quite fascinating. So I'm going to go through the colors for the southern hemisphere first as we move into the warm months of the year. Now, another thing is that you have a number of different places come out with their color predictions.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Obviously, one of the biggest ones is the pantone. Now, I am going to reference the pantone quite a bit. And I will also put that in the blog post and I'll put it in the show notes as well. so you can go and have a look at the colors that I'm talking about. Because obviously I know this is a podcast and you can't see me, but I will do my best to describe everything that I'm saying, like the colors that I'm seeing and saying. So another thing is, is that you have New York Fashion Week,
Starting point is 00:03:36 you have London Fashion Week. The colors can vary ever so slightly between those two as well. So I look at everything. But yeah, just to note that the colors between London Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, which are kind of the colors that then set the precedent for the season and which is what like the haute couture kind of fashion houses are using for their shows, which is then what filters through to the high street, which is what the majority of us then wear. So just to know that there's, there is a difference between the two.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Now they release, let me just count this up, four, six, eight, ten. There's ten colors from Pantone for the actual colors and shades that they're saying. and then you also have what they call, they call them seasonless shades. It's more about the neutrals for those particular warm months, cool months that are coming. So let's get into it. So firstly for warm months coming in the southern hemisphere, you're going to see like a, it's called like a crisp blue. It's like a baby blue, but some are lighter than others and have had a lot of white mixed
Starting point is 00:04:41 into them. But others, they're going to be more of like a cornflower, blue. They're not bright by any means. They're a really beautiful, crisp baby blue. Some have had more grey mixed into them because it makes it more muted and it makes it softer so they're perfect for like a soft summer colour palette, even soft autumn colour palette. But yeah, you're going to find quite a bit of those. Now blues can run warm or cool. So if you're looking at a colour blue and you have no idea whether this runs warm or cool, see if you can see if you can see, see some yellow in it. If you can start to see some yellow in it, then obviously that runs a bit warmer.
Starting point is 00:05:22 If you can see obviously more blue in it or more like iciness to it, that would run more cool toned. Now, I know that's really getting into it, but I just wanted to give you an idea of when you're looking at the colour blue. But that is definitely going to be a colour that you're going to start seeing in stores as we get into more of the warm months. The next one you have is a really warm toned lime apple green. Now I know I've said lime and apple together. So I've used to like, I've used citrus and a fruit. However, it's because they, as always with these colours, they come out and then variations of shades fall away from those on both sorts of sides. Some can go more warm toned, some can go more cool toned. This is 100% of warm toned color. I would absolutely classify it as a warm
Starting point is 00:06:10 spring. It can also go to warm autumn if they've dialed it down a little bit and if they've put some white into it, you may find it in light spring. It's definitely warm toned. If you are cool toned, this colour's not for you. The reason it's not for you is because it's going to make you turn green when you wear it. You can try it by all means, but a lot of cool tones because it is so warm. It's just going to find that it's way too warm for them. Then you have another colour which Pantone have actually named Pearl Sorbet. It's exactly like you would imagine, but I would actually say it's more of a beige that's got a lot of yellow underneath it.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Again, this is for warm tones to wear. Cool tones are going to find that this again makes them go yellow and that makes the complexion go like a bit muddy. It's a really, really lovely colourful warm tones, both autumn's and springs can wear it. Yes, it's called pear sorbet, but I definitely would say that it's warm toned and it's pretty much a beige. For one of a better word, I think it's because they've called it pair because it's more like the inside of a pair, like a really right pair.
Starting point is 00:07:22 That's the kind of color that you find on the inside. The next one, I realized I didn't give you the other colors, but that will, names, but that will all be in the blog post that goes with this. The next one is like a teal green. It's really lovely. It's not overly bright. I wouldn't say any of these are really bright, bright colors apart from a couple of them. But yes, it's a really nice teal green.
Starting point is 00:07:44 It's got quite a bit of warmth to it. So it's got quite a bit of yellow in it. Really lovely teal green for autumns to wear. Springs can obviously borrow it too. If it comes out in different versions and it comes sort of more where you see a teal that's got more blue base to it, that's where your cool tones can wear it. But yes, it's like a really, really lovely teal green, but it's not. dark, it's light. It's not deep and intense. You know where those teals that are really deep and moody and you can see so much black has gone into them or grey has gone into them? No, this colour, it's a nice
Starting point is 00:08:20 light teal. It's not deep and moody at all. Next you have the colour called yellow Jasper. It's a really lovely yellow. It is a winter yellow because it's cool toned. And I say it's cool tone because it doesn't have like that sunshine orangeness to it. It's a winter yellow because it's more like a highlighter yellow. That's how I like to describe winter yellow is like a fluoro yellow that doesn't have warmth to it at all. So it's a really lovely colour. Yellow has been around for a while. Obviously we've had that butter yellow around. Now that will continue to be around that butter yellow. And that's what the other seasons like autumns and summers can kind of use a little bit because it's not intense. This colour is 100% the colour that winters will wear and it looks fabulous on them,
Starting point is 00:09:11 like really, really fabulous. The next one's called Camellia and it's a really lovely coral. Now it's not a bright coral. Again, it's a bit softer, really, really lovely for autumns to wear. Springs can wear it too. I dare say a soft summer, potentially a light summer could borrow it too. It's a really beautiful, happy colour, but like I said, it's not bright. It does feel a little bit more muted and a little bit softer, whereas a bright coral, obviously, it's bold, it's very spring-based.
Starting point is 00:09:43 This one is quite warm-based. You can see that it's got orange to it, obviously, being a coral that will have orange in it. But it's a really, really lovely colour. And I think coral is a colour that so many people can wear, because if you're in a colour palette that has sister seasons on both sides, so like both in warm and cool, a coral's really lovely because it can give you. can give you, for those of us who can't wear orange, like pure orange, a coral is a really nice, it sits in the middle, it's got that pink base to it as well. So it won't make you feel like you're turning orange when you wear it. So it's a really, really pretty colour and it goes with so many neutrals coral. Like you can wear it with your caramels and your tans and your
Starting point is 00:10:25 car keys, but likewise you can also wear it with a navy and winters can also wear it with a black if they wanted to. Next one we have is called Sudan Brown. It's a really, really, really warm brown. Like, how can I describe this? It's a very rich, warm caramel. Not a huge amount of people will be able to wear this outside of warm autumns and warm springs because it's really, really warm. And even for warm seasons, you could wear it on the bottom, actually, if you wanted to. I wouldn't wear it on the top if you aren't a warm autumn or a warm spring just because it's going to make your complexion look a little bit muddy. It might highlight more of your imperfections. But it's a really lovely colour for warm autumns and warm springs.
Starting point is 00:11:07 For them, it will bring them to life and make them look absolutely amazing. Next we have, this is called hybiscous. I'm pretty sure that's called hybiscous. Yeah. It's called hibiscus. Now, that is a really lovely, I would say that's a bright spring coral red. It's really lovely. It's not a fire engine red. It does have some pink in it, as the name would say, like hibiscus. It's really, really, really. lovely. It goes with so many colors. You can wear it as a hint of color. You could actually wear this kind of color as a lip color. So when we talk about looking at these colors, obviously not a teal. But when we're looking at like the coral camellia that I mentioned earlier, or you're looking
Starting point is 00:11:48 at this particular hibiscus, you could then think, oh, actually, that would work really well for me as a lipstick. Likewise, for people who like to wear a bit of color with eye shadow, you can have a play with some of those other eyeshadows. Like you could have a play with, say, the teal or you could even have a play with the green. There's a, I've got a purple coming up. You could, and the blue, you could play around with those if you like wearing color as an eyeshadow. Obviously, all of this works for accessories as well. But yeah, it's a really, really beautiful color. For those that are in bright winter, it would look fantastic on you as well, especially when you pair it with like your navy, your black. Even with a cobalt blue, it would look fantastic. And then in your
Starting point is 00:12:27 warm tones, there are so many colors, obviously, that you can mix and match a bright coral too, because it's in your colour part. So they all do mix and match and they go together beautifully. Now, the next one is called, let me just, I need to scroll that, it's called Passion Flower, but it's a purple. Oh, that surprised me. This is a cool tone purple. It lives in winter. It's a cool winter colour. It's got a lot of blue in it. It's really lovely. Cool summers, because I could obviously also borrow it too. I'm actually looking at a colour that's almost identical from my drapes on my desk. But it's really lovely, but 100% cool toned. If you're warm toned, you want to go for a purple that's got a bit more warmth to it because
Starting point is 00:13:06 this will wash you out and make you sort of go a bit purply, like a bit grey when you wear it. But fantastic colour. And it's really nice to see a deeper purple coming out rather than just, we've had a lot of lavender and lilac recently. So it is nice to see that that's starting to come out. And then last but not least, we have one called Windsor Wind, Pantone colour. And that is, is it's almost like a mix between a burgundy and a chocolate. A lot of seasons could wear this as a neutral. It's really lovely and it's so nice to see that kind of colour continuing on because what I think has been fabulous is I just did an episode talking about people defaulting to black
Starting point is 00:13:44 and how to move away from it. This is where these colours, which are starting to come through more and more like your chocolates, your burgundies and everything, they work really well as a neutral in your wardrobe as well as an actual colour within your wardrobe and you don't feel you have to default to those regular neutrals that everyone thinks were like your navy, your grey, your charcoal and you're black. They don't suit everyone as we've talked about before,
Starting point is 00:14:06 whereas this kind of colour, you know, I'm looking at it. It looks really lovely with the chamele, which is the light coral. It looks lovely with the bright hibiscus. It looks really nice with the passion flower. It looks lovely with the Sudan brown. It's such a fabulous all-round colour. So I think a lot of seasons could wear that.
Starting point is 00:14:24 that only seasons that might find it a bit dark and intense is light summer, light spring. If you're going to wear it, wear it on the bottom and then put one of your lighter colors on the top. Or you could even use it potentially as an accessory if you wanted to, if you're in those seasons. Now, the neutrals that they've got coming, you've got one like, which is like a feathery grey, you've got one which is like a slate grey. You've got a real, again, warm toned beige. It's got a lot of yellow in it. Again, you have one called Coco. Now, from my screen and what I'm looking at, and my screen's normally quite true to colour, to me, that looks like a really deep, rich car key, fantastic for autums to use, even for like a warm spring,
Starting point is 00:15:05 bright spring to borrow if they want to. It, to me, it doesn't look cocoa. It looks more like a car key. And then there's actually a warm toned green that would sit in warm autumn in there. So you've got a nice mix of warm and cool colours, three warm, too cool. Now, just to note, the cools are both greys, version of grey, where there's, the warms, you've got like three different kinds of colors. So yeah, so that's a roundup of in a snapshot of what you're going to be seeing coming into stores for the coming warm months in the southern
Starting point is 00:15:35 hemisphere. There's lots of colors to choose from. They do variations. There was more warm toned, I would say, rather than cool toned in there. But these are the kinds of things that you're going to see coming into stores. Now I know it can be tricky when your particular colors, like for me looking at that I've got a couple that I can use, but the rest of them I can't. That's where I either shop overseas and I'm looking for maybe stores that run colors that fashion weeks says are the ones to have, or I kind of just sit it out and wait it out and wear what I've had from a previous season and then start to see what's coming through or you buy something white and then you dye it into your color.
Starting point is 00:16:13 That's something else. I have a fabulous member in my membership. I'm going to give her a shout out called Lisa. and Lisa is amazing at teaching us how to dye things so that we can actually wear things within our colour palette in a style or shape that suits us that's in stores but it's not actually in our colours. So that's another thing that you can do is actually dyeing your colours too. Now moving on to the colours for the cool months that are coming for fall and for winter.
Starting point is 00:16:45 So again, I've used the same looking at London and New York. Now, for the ones that I just did, I focused more on the London and to make this even, I'm focusing more on like the New York one. And this is also Pantone as well. So obviously I will link to all of this so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. But let's get into it. So the first one is called lemon grass. Now, that I would classify as soft summer.
Starting point is 00:17:14 it's like a yellow that's had grey mixed into it and so it becomes a much more muted yellow that is almost, you look at it and you think, is it a green or is it a yellow? It actually is a yellow. It's just a different version of lemon. Like it's a real dialed down muted version of lemon. Soft summer 100% that's fabulous for you.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Soft autumn's can obviously borrow it. I actually think that colour's got so much grey in it. You may be able to borrow it if it's a sister season, but you're going to have to try it on because you might feel that it makes you a little bit flat. On the right person, soft colours, so soft autumn, soft summer, they bring them to life like any colour palette. But on the wrong person, they can make you feel a bit flat, a bit muted, and they can actually make you start to feel a bit grey purely because they have so much grey mixed into them.
Starting point is 00:18:05 So that's the first colour of lemon grass. Then the next one we have is called, let me see if I, it's called Brandeisie. melon. So they've described it as a muted orange with a subtle spice. So it's got a lingering warmth on the palette. Oh, very fancy. It is 100% a muted orange. Again, I would put that into soft autumn. So a really lovely colour. Other autumns can obviously borrow it. I wouldn't necessarily say that soft summers could borrow it because again, like I've talked about before, orange is actually quite a hard colour to borrow apart from that coral. But it is a fantastic colour for soft autumn. to wear and it will go with so many things in your colour palette because obviously
Starting point is 00:18:47 autumns are a very earthy, rich-based colour palette. Next on the list we have one that's called Lions Blue. Now this is a teal. It's a cool-tone teal. It's actually really lovely. Like I would say both summers and winters can wear this, but I'm actually going to classify this more for summers because it's light. It's not a dark teal.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Where is the one that we talked about before? definitely had more yellow in it. This one has a lot more blue in it. And it's really interesting to see they're both a teal, but when you put them side by side, they're so different. And this is a really, it's quite a luxurious colour. It adds quite a bit of class to an outfit. I actually have a blazer in this colour and I love it. It is fantastic for summers, like I've talked about before. Teal can be quite a universal colour. You can start to use it as a neutral. It's really, really lovely. So whilst it's called Leon's Blue, it definitely is a teal and it's very, very pretty. Next on the list we have, it's called Damson.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Now, it looks like quite soft purple. That's like a mulberry almost. It's got a bit of a vintage feel about it. I would almost put that into, I would say soft summers could definitely wear that. Winters could as well, but winter could take one. that's a bit more bold and dramatic. So actually there's quite a lot of colours in here for softs so far. It's a really nice colour, very pretty, very delicate, very muted.
Starting point is 00:20:20 It's a definitely a soft version of a mulberry. Like if you think of a really like a red grape, but not the really dark ones, those light red grapes is exactly like that. Now again, this could be used for makeup. Actually, even the branded melon is going back like that burnt orange colour. on the right person, that is a lipstick. It could look fantastic on a warm toned if they like wearing more of an orange-toned lipstick. And again, on a cool tone, now this is very cool-toned this colour.
Starting point is 00:20:51 It could look really lovely as a lipstick. It could also work really nicely as an eyeshadow. For those who don't like wearing a dark eyeshadow, use it as a liner. I actually have a colour in my makeup eye shadow. It's pretty close to this. And sometimes I use a chocolate and sometimes I use this. And it works really lovely as an eyeliner. Now, I do have green eyes.
Starting point is 00:21:11 It would look nice with green eyes or with blue eyes or with brown eyes, having said that. But in particular, if you are green eyed, this particular colour will brewing out your green eyes even more. Really, really lovely. Okay, on to the next one. Now, this one's called Primrose pink. It is the most soft, delicate pink. Now, this is actually quite tricky. When people think of a soft, delicate pink, they're like, oh, it's like a baby pink.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Anyone can wear it? No, they can't. because this one has a lot of grey mixed into it. Again, I'm going to put this into soft summer because it's so muted. It's got so much grey in it. You put that even for me being a light, this would wash me out. It would literally take colour away from me. And if you put this on a winter, it's going to wash them out.
Starting point is 00:21:58 If you put this on a warm tone, it's going to wash you out unless you can borrow it because you're soft autumn. Now I know it's complicated. I'm sorry. I do get into the logistics of it quite a bit. but I like you to have all the information that you can. It's very delicate. It's very soft.
Starting point is 00:22:15 It's very, very pretty. But this primrose pink, 100% the way that Pantone have got it, it's soft summer all the way. Now, you know how we've talked about before that they can bring variations of shades to this? Some other people might do a Primrose pink, which is more your traditional baby pink. So it's a little bit brighter. Other colour palettes like a light summer or a cool, summer could wear it. If it becomes like a really bright baby pink, then obviously it moves into
Starting point is 00:22:43 winters, but that moves quite away from what the premise of this particular colour is. It's very dusty. That's the best word to describe it. It's that real dusty, muted, soft pink. So it's a lovely colour, but it is a hard one to wear. So just keep a note of that. Okay. Moving on, The next one is called Winterberry, and it's perfectly named because it is a winterberry red. 100% I'd put that in cool winter. It's a real sultry kind of red. It's beautiful. It has raspberry base to it.
Starting point is 00:23:22 It has very much a blue base to this kind of red. It's stunning. On cool tones, it's going to look amazing. It would look lovely with chocolates, blacks, navies, if you're wanting to wear it with a neutral. But likewise, people could pair this. with a coal bolt. They could put it with a purple. They could put it with so many colors.
Starting point is 00:23:39 It just, it's lovely. It would look lovely again as a lipstick for people who like to wear more of a bold color lipstick. It's a very, very pretty colour, but 100% cool-based, without a doubt, a cool-based red. The next is called hot chocolate. And this is a deep autumn chocolate. It's lovely. It's earthy.
Starting point is 00:24:00 It's rich. It's indulgent. Just like you'd imagine a hot chocolate. be, but compared to like lint chocolate, and this is where I always give this reference, and I hope people are probably going to get bored of me saying it, but with this particular reference of when you're thinking between dark and warm chocolates, this hot chocolate is more like your milk chocolate and your, the deep chocolate that you're going to find in deep winter is your lint dark chocolate. The darkest of the darkest, 90%. No hint of warmth. Really, really,
Starting point is 00:24:33 really dark. This is a really beautiful colour that is whilst it's darker, it's not intense. It's rich, it's earthy, but it's not really like you can't see black in it. That's what I'm, I'm trying to say. If you can see black in a chocolate like it's that dark and intense, then you're looking at a deep winter chocolate, but beautiful. We'll go with so many colours too. Then you have one called chili oil. This is really lovely. It says that it's a vital, robust red. Now, this one, it is. It's warm, but I would still put it in deep autumn because I can see some black in it. There may be variations that would move it into a warm autumn, but 100% this is a deep autumn kind of colour.
Starting point is 00:25:17 It's really lovely. It's like that rust kind of colour, but it's got black mixed into it, which has dialed it down a bit. But yeah, it's that deep. When it says chili, it's funny. When I think of chili, I think of like a vibrant red, but I understand how with calling it chili oil, sort of mutes it and it tiles it down a little bit. Really lovely, but again, a warm toned colour, 100% in deep autumn, so other autums could borrow it too, and so could deep winters too. Now the next is a poppy red. This is really lovely, warm spring, warm autumn. It's happy,
Starting point is 00:25:54 it's vibrant, it's bright, it's lovely, it looks fantastic with that hot chocolate colour. it looks really, really brilliant with that. So it's funny. It's like how the first half we started with quite cool, soft and muted, these ones have become more warm, which is what you're going to find. Like traditionally, when you move into the cool months of the year,
Starting point is 00:26:14 the colours that you see are more the autumnal kind of colours. So it's actually quite nice to see a few of the soft summer colours in there because they don't often come out. So that's actually really, really lovely to see. But this red in particular, fantastic, warm-toned, poppy red, 100% on the warm side. You can't mistake it. The way I like to describe it with a warm tone red is you see more of like a tomato kind of base coming through. And you can see more of that orange base compared to the winter berry, which 100%. If you put them side by side, you can see one has
Starting point is 00:26:46 an orange base, one has a blue base. And that's where you can see the difference between the two reds. And when you're looking at reds, that's what you're looking for. Is it like blue based? Is it more orange based? If you feel like it's fire engine red, right? down the middle, you can get some more neutral ones, but generally they'll have some kind of of warm or cool tone to them. And then the last one is called bronze brown. They've described it as a lustrous golden brown. Bronze brown is emblematic of elegant authenticity. Wow. Their department had fun naming these, didn't they? But it's warm toned 100%. Again, sits in autumn. I would almost put that. It's, look, it's a universal.
Starting point is 00:27:28 or more neutral color, I would say. If I had to put it in a color palette, I'd almost put that in soft autumn, I think, but I think all color palettes could borrow that. I think springs could borrow that too. It's more of a neutral to me. But it is that bronze color. It's got almost like a gold hue in the background that some gold has been mixed into brown and it's created like this bronze color. Looks really lovely with that poppy red. It looks lovely with the chili oil. You could even wear the, could you put the branded melon with it? You could, but that's for someone who really likes to wear the color combinations where they're wearing like color like that from head to toe.
Starting point is 00:28:07 But yeah, you absolutely could. Now looking into what they call the seasonless shades, these are all cool colors without no two ways about it. So whereas in the actual colors, you had quite a lot of warm in the actual shades that they've brought out, the seasonless, neutrals, you have a bright white. So that's literally what it says. Bright white is for winters. Summers can wear it too, but generally summer's more suit and off white because it's not as harsh. When I say bright white, I'm thinking the hospital sheets, they almost have like that
Starting point is 00:28:40 glowing purpleness to them. That's what the bright white is. Next, we have one called French roast. That's a really lovely brown, but it definitely has a cool undertone to it. I would say summers and winters could borrow that. So it's, it is dark, but it's not intensely dark. It's a strong colour, but 100% that is a cool toned brown. Then we have one called Vapor Blue. I would call that a grey that's got a bit of blue mixed into it. I would say perfect for soft summers.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Other summers could borrow it as well, maybe a little bit wishy-washy for some winters. Cool winter, maybe could borrow it, but I would say bright winters, deep winters, no, it's too wishy-washy. It's going to wash them out and it's going to make them look pale compared to other grays that are much, much better for them. They're much better in like a charcoal grey. The next one's called crown blue. Now, crown blue is the perfect blue for summers. It's like a navy, but it's not a deep, dark, rich, intense navy. It's just a really lovely, faithful, classic navy blue. It's lovely. I've got quite a bit of this in my wardrobe and I love it. It's stunning. And then you have the last one is called Move Wine. Now this one,
Starting point is 00:30:01 they've described it as it conveys a message of refined sophistication. It's beautiful. It's cool toned. It sits in winter. It's really lovely. It's a mix of chocolate and like a burgundy. It's got a purple undertone to it. It's really lovely. It's not as, you know how the burgundies that we've had recently were really rich, intense burgundy. You could see it's a burgundy. This one's a definite mix of colours. So I think actually calling it that Move kind of colour where it's really, really well. Again, it's cool tones. Summers, no, if Summers wanted to wear more of that burgundy,
Starting point is 00:30:35 I would reference them to go back to that Damson colour that's actually in the actual colours for the season. But that Move wine, winters, without a doubt, will look phenomenal, phenomenal in it. So there you go.
