How to Find Your Seasonal Color Palette

Your seasonal color palette determines what colors look best on you! Depending on your skin tone and overall color, certain colors can make you shine or dull your spark. The season your physical features represent can help you create a wardrobe that’ll help you look your best! Here’s how you can find your seasonal color palette :

  • Determine if you have cool or warm undertones . Raise your wrist up in natural light. Are your veins green or greenish-blue or blue or purple? If they’re green or greenish-blue, you have a warm undertone. If they’re blue or purple, you have a cool undertone.
  • Find your complexion using your eye color. You have a cool complexion if you have gray, bright green, or clear blue eyes. If you have hazel, brown, or amber eyes, you have a warm complexion.
  • Consider your hair color. If you have black, gray, ashy brown, or ashy blonde hair, you have a cool complexion. If you have dark brown, red, or strawberry blonde hair, you have a warm complexion.
  • Discover your season based on your results. Now that you know more about your complexion and undertones, you can determine your seasonal color palette! Match your findings to a season:
    • Spring : Warm undertones with light features
    • Summer : Cool undertones with light features
    • Autumn : Warm undertones with dark features
    • Winter : Cool undertones with dark features
