Finding Your Color Season: A Simple Guide

If you've ever wondered why some colors make you look bright and radiant while others wash you out, the answer lies in your color season. Seasonal color analysis is one of the easiest, most effective ways to elevate your personal style, pick flattering makeup shades, and build a wardrobe that always works for you. This guide breaks down the four main color seasons, how they're determined, and how you can finally figure out your own season — without confusion.

🌷 What Are Color Seasons?

Color seasons categorize people into four groups based on the natural coloring of their:

• skin
• eyes
• hair

Each season has its own palette designed to bring out your glow.

You might be:

• Spring (warm + bright)
• Summer (cool + soft)
• Fall (warm + deep)
• Winter (cool + high contrast)

But before you can figure out your season, you need to understand undertones and contrast levels.

🎨 Season Color Palette Overview

Each season has a signature palette:

🌸 Spring — Warm + Fresh

Peach, coral, turquoise, ivory.

🌼 Summer — Cool + Soft

Lavender, dusty rose, powder blue, silver.

🍁 Fall — Warm + Earthy

Mustard, olive, terracotta, warm brown.

❄️ Winter — Cool + Bold

Black, white, jewel tones, icy shades.

✨ Understanding Skin Undertones

Your undertone is the temperature beneath your skin's surface:

• Warm: golden, peachy, or olive
• Cool: pink, rosy, or bluish
• Neutral: a mix of both

A quick way to identify yours:

• Gold jewelry looks best → warm
• Silver jewelry looks best → cool
• Both look good → neutral

Undertone is the foundation of color season analysis.

💖 Contrast Levels Matter Too

Contrast refers to the difference between your:

• hair color
• skin tone
• eye color

Low Contrast:
Features blend softly → tends to fit Summer or Fall.

High Contrast:
Strong difference between features → often Winter or Spring.

Understanding your contrast level helps narrow down your exact season.
