Contrast in Color Alliance of BFAS, or Color Me Direct or Beauty for You

In Color Alliance, and it's new names, this is how they view contrast:

	Light	True	Contrasting	Vivid
skin	Light	True	Light	Light or Dark
eyes	Light	True	Medium	Dark
hair	Light	True	Dark	Dark

So you could have a light spring, summer, autumn or winter, supposedly.

As well as a true of every season, which I assume is medium, but essentially is the base palette.

And you can have a contrasting or vivid of all four seasons.

Since I am a Contrasting Summer, my light skin, medium green eyes, and dark ash brown hair equals Summer with contrast, not Winter, in this system.  My color palette looks very close to winter, I just don't wear stark white or black.
