Comprehensive breakdown of each palette

True Summer

Purely Cool Undertones

True Summers have distinctly cool, blue-based undertones. There is no warmth in your coloring, so you should avoid warm, golden colors.

Medium Contrast

There is a noticeable but not stark contrast between your hair, skin, and eyes. Your colors are neither too light nor too dark.

Graceful & Composed

You look best in colors that are calm and composed. Your palette is classic and elegant, avoiding the extremes of brightness or mutedness.

True Spring

Warm & Clear Undertones

True Springs have distinctly warm, golden undertones. Your skin has a peachy or golden quality that comes alive with warm, clear colors.

Medium Contrast

There's moderate contrast between your hair, skin, and eyes. You can handle both light and medium-toned colors with clarity and warmth.

Vibrant & Energetic

You look best in colors that are clear and saturated. Muted or cool colors can make you appear dull, while your warm palette brings out your natural vitality.
