10 questions, about 4 min

Stand near a window in natural daylight with a mirror, no makeup and your hair pulled back if possible. Answer what you actually see.

Ten questions about your skin, hair, eyes and how colours look on you. You get your most likely colour season and your full season mix.

How Seasonal Colour Analysis Works

Seasonal colour analysis groups people by their natural colouring, the combination of skin undertone, hair and eye colour, into four “seasons”. Each season has a palette of colours that tends to make that person look brighter and healthier.

It uses three properties of colour:

PropertyQuestionOptions
Undertone (hue)Is your colouring warm or cool?Warm (golden) or cool (pink or blue)
ValueIs your colouring light or deep?Light or deep
ChromaIs your colouring bright or soft?Clear and bright, or muted and soft

How To Take The Quiz

For the best results:

  • Use natural daylight, ideally near a north-facing window.
  • Remove makeup and, if possible, tie back dyed hair.
  • Answer based on your natural hair colour.
  • Hold real fabrics or clothes near your face to check colour questions.

Each answer adds points to one or two seasons. Your season is the one with the most points, and your bars show how close the others came. Many people sit between two seasons, which is why some systems use 12 sub-seasons.

All Possible Results

Spring

Warm, light and bright. Best in coral, peach, warm turquoise and golden yellow, with gold jewellery.

Summer

Cool, light and soft. Best in dusty rose, lavender, powder blue and soft navy, with silver jewellery.

Autumn

Warm, deep and muted. Best in rust, olive, mustard and teal, with gold, bronze or copper.

Winter

Cool, deep and clear. Best in black, pure white, royal blue and true red, with silver or platinum.

Where Seasonal Colour Analysis Comes From

The idea grew from the colour theory of Johannes Itten, an artist and teacher at the Bauhaus school in the early 20th century, who noticed that his students tended to prefer colours that harmonised with their own colouring. The four-season system became widely popular through Carole Jackson’s 1980 bestseller Color Me Beautiful. Later analysts expanded it into 12 and 16 sub-seasons, such as “Light Spring” or “Deep Winter”.

Colour analysis is a style tool, not a science. Professional analysts drape fabrics under controlled lighting, which is more reliable than any quiz, but a quiz is a good starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have warm or cool undertones?

Check your wrist veins in daylight (green suggests warm, blue or purple suggests cool), and compare how gold and silver jewellery look on you.

Can my season change?

Your natural colouring is fairly stable, but tanning, ageing and hair dye can shift which colours look best.

What if I am between two seasons?

That is common. Look at your top two bars and choose colours that appear in both palettes.
