Free Color Analysis Quiz: Find Your Season
Answer a few questions about your hair, eyes and skin and we'll match you to one of the 12 color seasons - with a 12-color palette you can copy, download as PNG or PDF, and share.
How the color season quiz works
This free seasonal color analysis quiz sorts your natural coloring by three qualities: temperature (do warm golds or cool blues suit you?), value (do you shine in light or deep colors?) and chroma (clear and bright, or soft and muted?). Combine those and you land in one of 12 seasons - each with a palette that makes your skin look healthy and your features sharp.
Think of it as an online color analysis test you can take at home: it scores all three axes from your answers, then matches you to the closest season. It takes about a minute, there's no email required, and you'll get your palette instantly. Still wondering what is my color season? If you're not sure about your undertone, the skin undertone test is a good companion - it settles the warm-versus-cool question on its own. You can also read our full 12-season color analysis guide.
What is seasonal color analysis?
Seasonal color analysis is a personal-styling method that sorts your natural coloring - skin, hair and eyes - into one of 12 color seasons, so you can dress and do your makeup in the shades that make your complexion look healthy and your eyes pop. It's the art-and-science idea popularized by Carole Jackson's 1980s bestseller Color Me Beautiful, which grouped people into four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter); modern analysts split those four into twelve for a more precise personal color palette. The whole system rests on three dimensions of a color and of your face: undertone (warm or cool), depth (light or deep) and intensity (bright or muted).
Getting your colors done used to mean an in-person session with a stylist draping fabric under your chin in natural daylight, watching which hues brought your features to life and which left your skin looking washed out or tired. This quiz brings that draping logic online: it reads the same three qualities from your answers, places you in a season, and hands you a ready-made palette - no decision fatigue, no guesswork at the shops. Warm seasons (Spring, Autumn) glow in yellow-based tones; cool seasons (Summer, Winter) come alive in blue-based ones. From there, the twelve sub-types fine-tune the fit.

The 12 color seasons, and how they fit together
Seasonal color analysis began with four seasons and grew into twelve as analysts realised most people need a more precise palette. The twelve sit in four families. The Springs - Light, Warm and Bright Spring - are warm and clear, glowing in coral, peach and golden green. The Summers - Light, True and Soft Summer - are cool and soft, flattered by dusty rose, periwinkle and slate. The Autumns - Soft, True and Deep Autumn - are warm and muted, rich in olive, rust and mustard. The Winters - Cool, Deep and True Winter - are cool and clear, striking in emerald, true red and icy brights.
This seasonal color analysis quiz places you in one of those twelve and hands you a downloadable palette. From there you can browse all 12 seasonal palettes, or open your own season page for celebrities, makeup, hair color and outfit ideas tailored to you.
Color analysis quiz vs undertone test: which first?
They answer different questions. The skin undertone test tells you whether you're warm, cool or neutral - useful on its own for foundation and jewelry. This color analysis quiz goes further, combining undertone with value and chroma to name your full season and palette. If you only have a minute, take this quiz; if you want to be certain about warm versus cool first, do the undertone test, then come back. Prefer to be routed straight to a result? The quick what season am I quiz does exactly that.
