FAQ
What is seasonal color analysis?
Seasonal color analysis sorts people into color palettes based on three traits of their natural coloring: undertone (warm or cool), value (light or deep) and chroma (bright or soft). The 12-season system splits the four classic seasons into three sub-seasons each.
How do I find my color season?
Start with your undertone, then compare how light or deep and how bright or soft your coloring is. Our free color analysis quiz walks you through it in about two minutes; a professional draping in daylight is the most accurate option.
What are the 12 color seasons?
Light, Warm and Bright Spring; Light, True and Soft Summer; Soft, Warm and Deep Autumn; and Deep, True and Bright Winter.
Can your color season change?
Your undertone stays the same, but hair color, tan and aging can shift your value and contrast. Many people move to a neighboring season, for example from Deep Autumn to Soft Autumn as hair turns grey.
