Understanding your seasonal palette
Color analysis groups people into seasonal palettes — spring, summer, autumn, and winter — based on skin undertone, hair color, and eye color. Each season has a set of colors that harmonize with your natural coloring, making you look more vibrant and healthy. Knowing your palette does not mean you can only wear those exact shades, but it gives you a reliable starting point for building outfits where the colors enhance rather than wash out your complexion.
Applying color analysis to your wardrobe
Start by identifying which colors in your current wardrobe already fall within your palette and make those your outfit anchors. For neutral bases, choose the version that matches your season: warm seasons lean toward camel, olive, and warm grey, while cool seasons work better with navy, charcoal, and blue-grey. When adding new pieces, bring a swatch card or saved palette image to the store so you can compare in natural light rather than relying on memory.

Start with TRYFrequently Asked Questions
Do I have to throw out clothes that are not in my color palette?
Not at all. Color analysis is a guide, not a rule. Pieces outside your palette can still work if you wear them away from your face — a pair of trousers or a bag in an off-palette color has far less impact on your appearance than a top or scarf in the same shade. Use your palette primarily for items near your face like tops, scarves, and jewelry, and be more flexible with bottoms, shoes, and accessories.
Can I get accurate color analysis results online?
Online quizzes and AI-based tools can point you in the right direction, but results vary depending on lighting, camera settings, and screen calibration. A professional in-person draping session with fabric swatches under controlled lighting remains the most accurate method. If in-person analysis is not accessible or affordable, try testing colors yourself by holding different shades near your bare face in natural daylight and observing which ones make your skin look clearer and more even.
