What is Seasonal Color Analysis?
Seasonal color analysis is one way to figure out which color palettes look the most flattering on you based on the hue (warm or cool), value (light or dark), and chroma (muted or bright) of your skin tone, eye color, and hair color. There are 4 color seasons—fall, winter, spring, and summer—and the color palettes associated with each season might be warm and fertile and earthy, cool and clear and light, or some combination of each:
- Someone who is a spring will generally have warmer and lighter coloring and will look most flattering in bright, warm hues that mimic the freshness and new life of the springtime season. Many springs have peachy or golden undertones.
- A summer will likely have cooler and lighter coloring and will look amazing in subtle, soft hues. Most summers have pinkish or bluish undertones.
- If you’re an autumn, you likely have warmer and darker coloring and may look best in warm tones that match the crisp cozy oranges, browns, reds, and warm greens of fall.
- As a winter, you probably have cooler and darker coloring and may look best in cool color palettes.
If your color season is warm (i.e., autumn or spring), you may want to wear more warm colors and yellow gold; if your season is cool (winter or summer), you may look best in cooler shades and silver. But color season analysis isn’t a hard-and-fast rule to follow—the most important thing is that you wear what you like and feel comfortable in, so if your seasonal color palette doesn’t align with your personal taste, just do you!
