Looking for a practical palette comparison

[Lucaspr]

I keep returning to the difference between Deep Summer and Soft Winter in everyday light. The usual palette images stop helping when the tones are close. I started by taking photos beside a north-facing window at the same hour. I also left out makeup, jewellery, and patterned clothing for the test. The darkest drapes felt dramatic, yet not every one looked relaxed in daylight. The quieter blue and berry options seemed gentler, yet I do not trust one impression. I tried to describe observable effects instead of deciding from a favourite colour. A neutral color analysis might help me test the same questions again under consistent conditions. I see online tools as prompts for observation, not as final proof. What has helped you distinguish a deep cool palette from a softer cool one? I would especially value methods that still work on an overcast day. I would prefer a reliable routine over a confident but rushed conclusion. I hope that a slower record will make my final comparison less influenced by mood. Thanks for sharing what made your own comparison clearer.
