Seasonal Color Analysis

Seasonal color analysis is a method for matching your skin's undertone, contrast, and depth to one of 12 color palettes, called seasons. Once you know your season, you know which clothing and makeup colors make your skin look clear and healthy — and which ones work against you. The system groups the 12 seasons into 4 families: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

There are three free ways to find your season: a short quiz that asks about your skin, hair, and eye coloring; an AI photo analysis that reads your undertone and contrast directly from two photos; or virtual draping, where digital color swatches are placed against your photo one at a time to see which ones flatter you most.

The 12 seasons fall into 4 families of 3 subseasons each. Spring: Light, True, and Bright Spring. Summer: Light, True, and Cool Summer. Autumn: Soft, True, and Deep Autumn. Winter: Cool, True, and Deep Winter. Each subseason has its own palette of best colors based on undertone, depth, and how saturated or muted the coloring is.

It depends on the method. A quiz is a good first pass and usually gets people to the right season family. AI photo analysis is more precise because it reads your actual coloring instead of relying on self-reported answers. Professional in-person draping is the gold standard. Most people land in the correct family from a quiz alone, and only need a more precise method to narrow down the exact subseason.

Our quiz is free. AI photo analysis is $24.99 and gives you your full 12-season result with a personalized palette. Professional in-person sessions with a color analyst typically run $150–400.

Yes. They're the same practice under two names. "Personal color analysis" is the broader term for matching colors to your natural coloring, and "seasonal" refers specifically to the 12-season naming system most analysts use to organize the results.

No. Your season is based on your skin's undertone and eye pattern, both of which are fixed by genetics and don't change over time. What you do to your hair, your tan, or your makeup can change what looks good on you in the moment, but it doesn't change your underlying season.
