Seasonal color analysis is a method of determining which colors best suit an individual's natural coloring by categorizing them into one of four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. It considers factors like skin undertone, hair color, and eye color to create a harmonious color palette.

Our quiz provides a good starting point for determining your color season with about 80% accuracy. For the most precise results, we recommend an in-person color analysis with a professional, as lighting conditions and subtle color variations can affect the outcome.

Your core color season is determined by your natural, unaltered coloring and typically doesn't change. However, significant changes like natural graying of hair or major shifts in skin tone due to aging might affect your sub-season within your main category.

The quiz is designed to determine your natural season based on your unaltered coloring. If you dye your hair, you might want to answer based on your natural hair color for the most accurate results. However, your dyed hair can influence which colors look best on you in practice.

Warm undertones have yellow, peach, or golden hues, while cool undertones have pink, red, or blue hues. Neutral undertones have a mix of both. One quick test is to look at the veins on your wrist - if they appear greenish, you likely have warm undertones; if bluish, cool undertones.

Absolutely! While our examples and language may be geared toward women, the principles of color analysis apply equally to men. The same seasonal categories and color recommendations work for both genders.

If you're getting inconsistent results, you might be close to the border between two seasons. Try taking the quiz in natural daylight without makeup, and consider consulting our blog posts for additional self-assessment techniques.

Yes! Many systems break down the seasons further. For example, Winter might include Deep Winter, Cool Winter, and Bright Winter. Our quiz identifies your main season, and you can explore subcategories in our blog posts.

Try draping fabrics in your recommended colors near your face in natural light and observe how they affect your complexion. Good colors will make your skin look even and bright, while unflattering colors may create shadows or make you look tired.

Not at all! Think of your seasonal palette as a guide rather than a strict rule. You can wear any color you love, but knowing your best colors helps you make informed choices, especially for important occasions or items worn near your face.
