How it works

From one selfie to your color palette

Four steps, a few minutes, and a palette you can shop with.

  1. A woman with long chestnut-brown hair takes a selfie facing a bright window at home
    Step 1

    Take a selfie in daylight

    Stand facing a window, turn filters off and let your natural hairline show. Prefer no photo? An eight-question quiz works too.

    • Daylight
    • Filters off
    • Hairline in view
  2. Portrait with markers on the iris, cheek and hair, each linked to its sampled color swatch
    Step 2

    We read your skin, eyes and hair

    The tool finds your face and samples three colors: your skin, your iris and your natural hair. The whites of your eyes balance the light, all inside your browser.

    • Skin, eyes, hair
    • Light balanced
    • Photo stays on your device
  3. The same woman wearing a warm terracotta and camel drape next to a cool pink drape
    Step 3

    Compare colors on your face

    Virtual draping places pairs of colors under your chin, the way a color analyst holds fabric. Pick the one that makes your skin look even and your eyes clear, and the result adjusts.

    • Warm vs cool
    • Light vs deep
    • Soft vs bright
  4. Flat lay of a moss green sweater, camel coat, soft teal scarf, terracotta shirt, oat trousers and gold jewelry with a palette card

    Soft Autumn · Muted, warm-leaning and earthy

The science of your season

Three things decide your colors

Your strongest trait names your season: a Soft Autumn is muted first and warm second, a Bright Winter is vivid first and cool second.

  • Two stacks of sweaters: warm golden, peach and camel next to cool blue, pink and lavender

    Temperature

    Your undertone. Golden, peachy or olive skin is warm and lights up in gold jewelry; pink or rosy skin is cool and glows in silver.

  • Two stacks of fabric: pale pastels next to deep burgundy, forest green, navy and plum

    Depth

    How light or deep your hair, skin and eyes are together. Light coloring shines in pale shades; deep coloring carries rich, dark ones.

  • Two stacks of fabric: dusty rose, sage and taupe next to vivid fuchsia, cobalt, emerald and red

    Clarity

    How clear your features look. Strong contrast and bright eyes suit vivid colors; blended, gentle coloring suits dusty, muted ones.

The 12 color seasons

Each of the four families has three versions. Seasons side by side on the wheel share two of their three traits, so if you sit between two, both palettes hold colors that work for you.

  • Spring Warm and clear, like a sunny morning: peach, coral, golden green and warm aqua.
  • Summer Cool and soft, like a hazy afternoon: dusty blue, rose, mauve and soft gray.
  • Autumn Warm and earthy, like a woodland walk: moss, camel, rust, teal and olive.
  • Winter Cool and crisp, like a clear night: jewel tones, true black and pure white.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is seasonal color analysis?

Seasonal color analysis groups people by the colors that suit their natural coloring: the undertone of the skin, how light or deep the hair, skin and eyes are, and how clear or soft they look together. There are four families (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter), each split into three, for 12 seasons. Each season has a palette of colors that make the face look clear and bright.

How does this color analysis test work?

It finds your face in the photo, reads the color of your skin, eyes and hair, and uses the whites of your eyes to correct the lighting. From those colors it works out your undertone, depth and clarity, then matches you to the closest of the 12 seasons. Virtual draping lets you compare colors under your chin and fine-tune the result.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

Your photo stays on your device. The face finder and all the color math run inside your browser, and the photo is cleared when you leave or start over. The palette card only includes your photo if you tick the box to add it.

What season am I if I am between two?

Many people sit near a border, which is why the result shows a close second season. Try the draping steps in daylight, and look at both palettes: the colors that make your skin look even and your eyes look brighter point to the right one. Neighboring seasons share many colors.

How accurate is a color analysis from a photo?

It is a good estimate when the photo is taken in daylight, without filters or heavy makeup, and with your natural hair color visible. Phone cameras and indoor light shift colors, so treat the result as a starting point and use the draping steps to check it. An in-person analysis with fabric drapes is the most precise way to confirm it.

Can I find my season without a photo?

Yes. Take the eight-question quiz about your veins, jewelry, sun reaction, natural hair and eye color and which colors people compliment you in. It gives you a season and the same palette.

Is this seasonal color analysis free?

Yes. The photo analysis, the quiz, virtual draping and the palette download are free, as many times as you like.
