Color analysis quiz

Answer nine quick questions in daylight and find out which of the 12 seasons fits your natural coloring.

  1. 1. Look at the veins on your inner wrist in daylight. What color are they?
  2. 2. Which jewelry makes your skin look better?
  3. 3. Next to your face, which looks better?
  4. 4. What happens to your skin in the sun?
  5. 5. What is your natural hair color (without dye or grey)?
  6. 6. And its tone?
  7. 7. What color are your eyes?
  8. 8. How much contrast is there between your hair, skin and eyes?
  9. 9. How do bold colors like fuchsia or cobalt look on you?

How the quiz works

Seasonal color analysis describes your coloring with three traits. Undertone is whether your skin leans warm (golden) or cool (pink or blue). Value is how light or deep your overall coloring is. Chroma is how bright and clear or soft and muted you look best in. The strongest of the three decides your season; the second one decides which of its three variants you are.

Unsure about your undertone? Take the undertone test first, then come back.

Tips for an accurate result

  • Answer in natural daylight near a window, not under warm lamps.
  • Remove makeup and tinted moisturizer for the jewelry and white-versus-cream questions.
  • For hair, think of your natural color, or your eyebrows if you dye your hair.
  • If two answers fit, choose the one a friend would pick for you.

FAQ

How accurate is an online color analysis quiz?

A quiz gets most people to the right family or a neighboring season. Lighting, makeup and hair dye can skew answers, so treat the result as a starting point and check it by holding colors from the suggested palette next to your face in daylight.

What do I need for the quiz?

Daylight, a mirror and a few minutes. Look at your wrist veins, compare silver and gold jewelry and think about how your skin reacts to the sun. No photo or upload is needed.

What if I get two seasons?

Neighboring seasons share a trait, like Soft Summer and Soft Autumn both being muted. Compare both palettes side by side; the one that makes your skin look clearer and your eyes brighter is your season.

Is this quiz free?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, needs no sign-up, and your answers are not stored or sent anywhere.
