Seasonal Color Analysis: The Fun Way to Find Your Perfect Colors

Ever notice how some colors just make you glow, while others leave you looking a little... blah? That’s the magic of seasonal color analysis, a fun way to discover the colors that make you look vibrant and feel amazing. Think of it as uncovering your personal color “season” to create a wardrobe that brings out your natural beauty. Let’s dive into how it works, why it’s worth it, and, of course, how to find your own season!

How to Discover Your Seasonal Colors
Time to dig into the fun part—figuring out your season!

Step 1: Determine Your Undertone
Your undertone is like the base color of your skin, and it’ll be warm, cool, or neutral:
Cool Undertones: Look for pink hues in your skin. If silver jewelry lights you up, and your veins appear blue, you’re likely cool-toned.
Warm Undertones: If your skin has a golden or peachy glow, you look great in gold jewelry, and your veins look greenish, you’re probably warm-toned.
Neutral Undertones: If both silver and gold look fab on you, you may have a balanced undertone that can wear a wide range of colors.

Step 2: Find your Contrast Level
Grab your phone, stand in natural light, and take a picture of yourself. Next, use an editing tool to desaturate the photo (turn it to grayscale). This lets you see the contrast between your skin, hair, and eyes without any color distractions.
High Contrast: If you notice a stark difference between your features—like light skin with dark hair and eyes—you likely suit high-contrast colors (think black and white).
Medium Contrast: If your skin, hair, and eyes are more balanced but still have some variation, you might suit colors with softer contrast, like medium skin with dark hair and eyes.
Low Contrast: If your features blend smoothly in grayscale, softer tones and low-contrast combinations like light skin and light hair and eyes.

Step 3: Find Your Season
Once you’ve identified your undertone, you’re ready to match it to a season:
Winter (Cool Undertone & High Contrast): Winters shine in bold, high-contrast colors like black, navy, and jewel tones (think emerald, sapphire, and ruby).
Spring (Warm Undertone & Low Contrast): Springs look radiant in playful and fresh hues like coral, peach, golden yellow, and mint green.
Summer (Cool Undertone & Low Contrast): Summers suit soft, dusty colors with a hint of gray undertone, like pastel pinks, lavender, soft blues, and grays.
Autumn (Warm Undertone & High Contrats): Autumns rock the earthy, warm palette—burnt orange, olive green, mustard, and warm browns are perfect for this season.
