Seasonal Color Analysis Light
Discover your color season based on your natural coloring! Get your personalized color palette, best neutrals, and a printable guide to always look your most vibrant.
If you have ever stood in front of a mirror and thought, why does this pink make me look tired, this is for you. Our Seasonal Color Analysis Light tool reads your natural hair, eye, and skin cues, then gives you a season, your best neutrals, and a printable palette you can take shopping.
What is Seasonal Color Analysis Light
It is a quick color matching tool that maps your personal coloring to one of the classic seasons. You answer a few questions about hair, eyes, skin depth, undertone, and overall contrast. The tool analyzes temperature, depth, and chroma, then shows you a season with colors that brighten your face.
How to use the Seasonal Color Analysis tool
- Sit near a window, no heavy makeup, no tinted moisturizer.
- Select your natural hair color, not dyed.
- Pick your eye color.
- Choose your skin depth and undertone.
- Set your contrast level by thinking about how different your hair, skin, and eyes look next to each other.
- Click Analyze Colors.
You will see your season, a short description, your best neutrals, and a full palette with color names and hex codes.

Print your color palette, then use it to shop
Hit Print Palette to create a tidy, wallet-size guide. Keep it in your bag for in-store trips, or save it in your photos for quick checks while you browse online. The hex codes help when you are hunting for the right “ivory” or “cool taupe” on a retailer page.
Tips for accurate Seasonal Color Analysis at home
- Use daylight, not warm lamps.
- Remove heavy bronzer or blush.
- Pull hair off your face so you can judge undertone and contrast.
- Wear a plain white tee or drape a white towel to avoid color cast.
- Stuck on undertone, run our Undertone Finder Quiz first, then come back.
Why knowing your color season helps your closet
You stop second-guessing, which means faster outfits and fewer returns. Your tops and jackets start to mix and match, because the colors share the same temperature and clarity. If you are doing a closet reset, pair this with the Closet Audit Tracker to spot pieces that clash with your palette.
Real example, my quick Seasonal Color Analysis
I tested it in soft morning light. My hair reads medium brown with cool ash, my eyes are dark blue, my skin is light with a cool undertone, and my contrast is high. The tool put me in Clear Winter. The neutrals showed pure white, black, charcoal, and navy, which explains why my cream knits never look quite right. Printing the palette made shopping simple. I found a true-red sweater online in five minutes.
Quick wins to try today
- Swap warm off-white for pure white if you land in a cool season.
- If you are warm, try camel or warm beige for coats.
- Choose lipstick from your palette. One shade that loves you will beat five that do not.
- Use your new neutrals to build a mini capsule. Then test a color pop from the palette.

Seasonal Color Analysis FAQ
How accurate is the tool?
Very accurate for home use. Good lighting and honest inputs matter most. If you are between two seasons, start with the one that makes you look fresher in daylight.
What if my hair is dyed?
Select your natural hair color if you know it. If not, pick the closest match and use undertone and contrast to guide the result.
Can my season change?
Your undertone stays stable, but contrast and depth can shift with hair changes or tanning. Recheck after a major hair color change.
Do I have to follow the palette perfectly?
No. Use it as a guide. If you love a color outside your season, try it away from your face or in a print mixed with your best shades.
What are the best first buys?
Start with neutrals you wear often, like a coat, denim, tees, a work bag, and one power lipstick that fits your palette.
