Common alternate-season confusion
Issa Rae's color season is sometimes easy to misread when hair color, lighting, styling, or makeup changes the first impression.
- Issa is a Deep Winter because of her deep coloring and dark features. Reality: Deep Winter has higher contrast and more saturated coloring. Issa's refined muted quality and cool medium-saturation responses confirm Cool Summer.
