Seasonal Colour Analysis
Answer three quick questions about your colouring to find your colour season and the palette of shades that tend to make you glow.
Shop shades that suit you
Knowing your colour season turns colour from guesswork into a shortlist. It doesn’t limit what you can wear — it points you to the shades near your face that make your skin look rested and your eyes look brighter, which is a quiet but real edge when you’re choosing a knit, a coat, or a lipstick.
Pair your palette with the cuts that suit your frame using the Body Shape Calculator, and build the whole coordinated set with the Capsule Wardrobe Planner.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is seasonal colour analysis?
It's a method that groups people into four 'seasons' — spring, summer, autumn, and winter — based on how their natural colouring behaves. Warm, clear colouring leans spring; cool and soft leans summer; warm and deep leans autumn; cool and high-contrast leans winter. Each season comes with a palette of shades that tend to make skin look healthy and eyes look bright.
How do I know if my undertone is warm or cool?
A few quick checks: gold jewellery tends to flatter warm undertones while silver suits cool ones; the veins on your wrist look greenish on warm skin and bluish on cool; and warm skin often has a peachy or golden cast where cool skin has a pink or bluish one. If both seem to work, you're likely neutral, and this tool resolves neutral colouring using depth and contrast.
What is contrast, and why does it matter?
Contrast is the difference in depth between your skin, hair, and eyes. Fair skin with very dark hair is high contrast; soft, blended colouring where all three are similar is low contrast. High-contrast people usually carry bold, clear colours well, while low-contrast people are flattered by softer, more blended shades — which is why the analysis uses it to fine-tune your season.
Do I have to avoid the 'off-palette' colours completely?
No. The palette highlights shades that tend to flatter your colouring, and the 'approach with care' list is simply where a colour can overwhelm rather than lift you. You can still wear anything you love — keeping less-flattering shades away from your face, or pairing them with a palette colour near the neckline, usually solves it. Daylight and a mirror are the real test.
A general guide to flattering shades, not a rule. Lighting, makeup, and personal taste all matter — hold a colour to your face in daylight and trust the mirror.
