The Four Color Seasons
Each season is defined by the intersection of undertone (warm or cool) and depth (light or deep). Select your season to read the full palette guide, celebrity examples, clothing tips, and makeup recommendations.
Spring
Warm & LightGolden undertones, light peachy or ivory skin, warm-blonde to light-warm-brown hair, blue-green or hazel eyes. Clear, warm, fresh tones.
Summer
Cool & LightRosy or pink undertones, ash-blonde or ash-brown hair, soft blue-grey or cool green eyes. Soft, muted, dusty cool tones.
Autumn
Warm & DeepGolden or olive undertones, dark warm-brown or auburn hair, deep hazel or brown eyes. Rich, earthy, spiced warm tones.
Winter
Cool & DeepCool undertones, dark-brown or black hair, icy-blue or deep-brown eyes. Bold, high-contrast, clear cool tones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What colors look good on me?
The colors that look best on you depend on your color season — the combination of your skin undertone (warm or cool) and depth (light or deep). Spring types suit coral, peach, golden yellow, and warm ivory. Summer types look best in dusty rose, lavender, and powder blue. Autumn types are most powerful in burnt orange, olive green, and terracotta. Winter types make the biggest impact in jewel tones, crisp white, and jet black. Take the quiz above to find your season.
What color season am I?
Your season is determined by two dimensions: undertone (warm = golden/yellow/peachy skin; cool = pink/rosy skin) and depth (light = hair and skin are on the lighter side; deep = darker hair creates higher contrast). The six-question quiz uses your skin tone, jewelry preference, eye color, hair color, sun reaction, and vein color to calculate both dimensions and identify your season.
What is the difference between warm and cool undertones?
A warm undertone means your skin has a yellow, golden, peachy, or olive quality — Spring and Autumn seasons. A cool undertone means your skin has a pink, rosy, or slightly bluish quality — Summer and Winter seasons. The gold vs silver jewelry question is a reliable proxy: warm undertones tend to look more vibrant in gold, cool undertones in silver.
What if I feel I am between two seasons?
Many people sit on the boundary between adjacent seasons — especially if undertone is genuinely neutral or depth is moderate. In that case, try the palettes for both adjacent seasons and observe which colors feel more energising near your face in natural daylight. The Photo tab can provide an additional data point by sampling your actual skin, hair, and iris colors.
Can my color season change over time?
Your underlying undertone does not change. However, depth can shift — hair lightens or darkens with age or coloring. If your hair has changed significantly (going grey, bleaching, or dyeing much darker), it may be worth retaking the quiz using your current natural hair color as reference.
What are the 12 color seasons?
The 12-season system subdivides each of the four main seasons into three sub-seasons based on saturation and contrast. Spring → Light Spring, Warm Spring, Bright Spring. Summer → Light Summer, Cool Summer, Soft Summer. Autumn → Soft Autumn, Warm Autumn, Deep Autumn. Winter → Deep Winter, Cool Winter, Bright Winter. This tool identifies your core four-season type, which is the foundation for any 12-season refinement.
What Is Color Analysis? A Complete Guide
The science behind what colors look good on you
Color analysis — also called seasonal color analysis — is the practice of identifying which family of colors harmonizes most naturally with your complexion, hair, and eye color. When a color shares the same undertone quality as your skin, it creates visual harmony: your complexion appears clearer, your eyes look more vivid, and your features seem more defined. When a color clashes with your undertone, it can make skin look sallow, tired, or washed out. This is why knowing what colors look good on you is not a matter of personal taste alone — it is a predictable outcome of undertone harmony.
The two dimensions: undertone and depth
The seasonal framework rests on two measurable dimensions. Undertone describes the warm (yellow-gold) or cool (pink-blue) quality beneath your skin's surface — this is the primary axis. The gold-vs-silver jewelry question is its classic proxy: people with warm undertones appear more vibrant in gold; cool undertones in silver. Depth describes the overall lightness or darkness created by your combined hair and skin coloring. Together, these two dimensions produce the four color seasons: Spring (warm + light), Summer (cool + light), Autumn (warm + deep), and Winter (cool + deep).
How the color analysis quiz determines your season
A color analysis quiz uses proxy questions to estimate undertone and depth without requiring physical fabric drapes or an in-person consultation. This quiz uses six indicators — skin tone, jewelry preference, eye color, natural hair color, sun reaction, and vein color — which are the same signals that trained color analysts assess during a professional session. Each answer contributes a warm/cool or light/deep signal; the totals determine your season.
Quiz vs AI photo analysis vs professional consultation
The quiz is the fastest and most accessible starting point — reliable for most people. The Photo tab (Beta) adds an objective measurement layer by using MediaPipe Face Landmarker to sample your actual skin, hair, and iris pixel colors from a photo, removing self-reporting bias entirely. For most people, the quiz and photo tool agree. When they differ, the photo tool is the more objective reading — but neither replaces a professional consultation, which uses physical fabric drapes under controlled lighting to assess subtle visual responses.
