Color Analysis Quiz
Answer 7 quick questions about your natural colouring to discover which of the 12 colour seasons you belong to — and which shades make you shine.
What is your natural hair color?
What is personal colour analysis?
Personal colour analysis is a beauty and styling framework that identifies the colours most harmonious with your natural colouring. By examining your skin's undertone, your hair depth, and your eye colour, the system places you in one of 12 colour seasons.
Wearing your season's palette makes your complexion appear more even, your eyes more vivid, and your teeth appear whiter. Wrong-season colours can make even a healthy complexion look tired, sallow, or washed out.
- UndertoneWarm, cool, or neutral — the base temperature of your colouring
- DepthHow light or dark your overall features are (hair + skin + eyes combined)
- ClarityHow vivid and high-contrast versus soft and muted your colouring appears
How to prepare for the quiz
- Take the quiz in natural daylight, not under yellow or cool artificial light
- Remove heavy makeup — focus on your natural colouring
- Look at your NATURAL hair colour, not a dyed or highlighted shade
- Check your vein colour on your inner wrist, not the back of your hand
- Test the white vs cream question with actual fabric if possible
- Answer based on what looks most flattering, not what you prefer to wear

What your colour season tells you
Wardrobe colours
Your season defines a palette of clothing colours that harmonise with your complexion, making your skin appear clearer and more luminous.
Best neutrals
Your go-to wardrobe basics — navy, camel, cream, grey, chocolate — depend on your season. The wrong neutral can make you look washed out.
Makeup palette
Foundation undertone, blush shade, eyeshadow colours, and lipstick tones all benefit from season-awareness.
Hair colour direction
Whether highlights, lowlights, or a full colour change will enhance or diminish your natural glow depends heavily on your colour season.
Jewellery metals
Gold flatters warm seasons (Spring, Autumn); silver and white gold suit cool seasons (Summer, Winter). Knowing this prevents the wrong-metal effect.
Eyewear frames
Frame colours for glasses and sunglasses that align with your season ensure they enhance rather than distract from your natural colouring.
Color analysis quiz — frequently asked questions
What is personal color analysis?
Personal color analysis (also called seasonal color analysis) is a system that categorises your natural colouring — hair, skin, and eyes — into a 'season' that maps to a colour palette. Wearing colours from your season tends to make your complexion appear clearer, your eyes brighter, and your overall appearance more harmonious.
Is the quiz as accurate as a professional draping session?
A professional colour analyst uses physical fabric swatches (drapes) to observe how colours interact with your live complexion under controlled lighting — this is the gold standard. Our quiz is a strong self-assessment tool based on the same underlying framework and can place most people in the correct season or one adjacent. For the most precise result, a professional draping is recommended.
What if my result doesn't feel right?
Colour season can be tricky to self-assess because lighting, screen colour temperature, and subjective perception of your own features all introduce variance. If your result feels off, try retaking the quiz and focusing especially on your vein colour and the white vs cream question — these two are the most reliable undertone indicators. You may also be on the border of two adjacent seasons.
Can my colour season change over time?
Your fundamental undertone (warm, cool, neutral) is fixed by your genetics and doesn't change. However, your depth and clarity can shift — for example, greying hair or tanning skin may move you between sub-seasons within the same family. Major changes like going grey can occasionally shift someone from a Spring to a Summer, or from Autumn to Winter.
What's the difference between the Spring and Autumn families?
Both Spring and Autumn are warm-toned seasons — they suit golden, peachy, and warm shades rather than cool pinks or icy blues. The key difference is clarity and depth: Springs suit bright, light-to-medium shades (fresh coral, warm turquoise, light camel), while Autumns suit muted, rich, deeper shades (burnt orange, olive, dark chocolate, rust).
Do men have colour seasons too?
Yes — colour seasons apply to everyone regardless of gender, because they are based on the physical properties of your hair, skin, and eyes. Men who discover their season often find significant improvements when choosing shirt colours, ties, and suit tones that harmonise with their natural colouring.
