Step-by-step

How the color analysis quiz works

Start with two questions about your preferences, then describe your eyes, natural hair and skin tone. Your answers give an initial seasonal color estimate.

What the quiz asks you

These 3 questions contribute to your season score. The two introductory questions help us understand your goals.

  1. 1

    Which is closest to your eye color?

  2. 2

    What is your natural hair color?

  3. 3

    Which looks closest to your skin tone?

How we score it

Your 3 feature answers add weighted points to Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The two preference answers do not change that score. The questionnaire scores answers locally; optional AI photo analysis is a separate step.

From answers to a first estimate

Free color analysis test: a worked example

Here is how one fictional set of answers leads to a broad-season estimate in this questionnaire. The example explains the quiz; it is not an analysis of you or a sample of the paid photo report.

Example feature answers

Eyes
Dark brown
Natural hair
Red / auburn
Skin tone
Olive / tan

How to read this example

This set of answers points toward Autumn

The current quiz gives Autumn the highest score for these answers. Some answers support more than one family: the olive/tan choice contributes to both Autumn and Winter. The combination matters more than that single choice.

This explains the questionnaire’s calculation, not a confirmed season. It does not distinguish Soft, Warm or Deep Autumn, and the free estimate does not include a full personalized palette.

Explore the Autumn color guide

What if your features suggest different seasons?

Keep the estimate provisional. When answering, use your natural hair color rather than a dye shade, and compare features in consistent daylight. No single answer settles your season by itself.

For two cool families, compare a softened blue fabric with a clearer blue of similar depth near your face. Keep the light and fabric finish similar so you can focus on color intensity. One comparison does not confirm a subtype.

Compare Summer and Winter

What if you are unsure of every feature?

“Not sure” answers add no season points. If every feature answer is uncertain, there is no supported season estimate from those answers. You can leave the result open instead of choosing descriptions that do not fit.

Start by separating skin depth from undertone: light or deep describes lightness, while warm or cool describes temperature. Neither alone gives a complete season. The undertone guide can help you compare those clues before returning to the questionnaire.

What is a Color Analysis Quiz?

Start with two questions about your preferences, then describe your eyes, natural hair and skin tone. Your answers give an initial seasonal color estimate. The quiz gives an initial estimate from 3 self-reported features. Uncertain answers can affect it, and the result may be inconclusive. Use it as a starting point for comparing colors, rather than a confirmed color season.

What Your Color Analysis Result Includes

A first season estimate gives you a starting point for exploring colors.

1

Season family

An initial Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter estimate from your own descriptions.

2

Colors in the guides

Season guides show example combinations to try. The quiz does not provide a full personalized palette.

3

Next diagnostic step

You can explore the season guides or choose a separate paid photo analysis. Photo analysis can estimate one of 12 seasonal types. Check the current package and price before purchasing.

4-Season vs 12-Season Color Analysis

01

The four-season result

An initial Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter estimate from your own descriptions.

02

The 12-season refinement

A full analysis adds a dominant quality—light, deep, soft, bright, warm, or cool—to distinguish subtypes such as Soft Autumn, Bright Winter, and Light Summer.

Quiz or Photo Analysis: Which Should You Use?

Use the quiz for a fast starting point

Yes. The questionnaire and its initial estimate are free, with no signup or photo required. A full photo analysis is an optional paid service; you can review the current offer before buying.

Optional photo analysis

The quiz suggests a broad season as a starting point. It does not provide a full personalized palette. Optional paid photo analysis can estimate one of 12 seasonal types and suggest colors to try.

Accuracy, Lighting, and When to Retake the Test

Observe your natural hair and skin in even daylight when answering. Uncertain descriptions can change the estimate. Try colors before making a major wardrobe or salon decision.

The 4 Color Seasons at a Glance

Seasonal color analysis sorts every complexion into four seasonal color palettes. Each season groups the shades that share your undertone, value, and chroma:

Spring

Warm & bright — golden undertones with fresh, clear colors like coral, warm yellow, and turquoise.

Summer

Cool & soft — blue undertones with gentle, muted colors like powder blue, lavender, and dusty rose.

Autumn

Warm & deep — golden undertones with rich, earthy colors like rust, olive, camel, and mustard.

Winter

Cool & bright — blue undertones with high-contrast colors like sapphire, magenta, emerald, and true red.

How long does the color analysis quiz take?
There are 5 short questions: two about your preferences and 3 about your features. Take them at your own pace; there is no timer.
How do I know if I'm warm or cool toned?
The quiz estimates it from your eye, hair and skin tone answers, so treat the result as a first clue, not a confirmation. Choose the unsure option if a feature is hard to judge; a photo analysis checks your undertone directly on your face.
Can my color season change over time?
Your natural color season typically stays the same throughout life, though intensity may soften with age. Hair color changes (like going gray) or skin tone changes may shift you to a different variation within your season family.

Use a seasonal palette to explore combinations, rather than as a list of forbidden colors. This quiz gives an initial season estimate; it does not produce individual color restrictions.
