What is a Personal Color Season?

Personal color analysis is a system that categorizes people based on their skin tone, hair color, and eye color. There are four main categories: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each season has its own set of flattering colors.

Personal color analysis categorizes people into 12 different groups and determines which palette and hue of colors looks best on them.
The 12 different groups comprise four main seasons. Depending on your physical attributes, you will either be classified as bright winter, true (cool) winter, dark winter, dark (deep) autumn, true (warm) autumn, soft (muted) autumn, soft (muted) summer, true (cool) summer, light summer, light spring, true (warm) spring or bright spring

Winter and summer are considered cool tones, or undertones, while spring and autumn are warm tones. Soft summer goes well with greyish and blueish colors that do not have any yellow undertones, such as dry rose.

How to Determine Your Personal Color Season

There are a few ways to determine your personal color season. You can take an online quiz, hire a professional color analyst, or do some research on your own. Once you know your season, you can start planning your winter wardrobe.
