What is my color season?

Your colour season is where your natural colouring lands on three axes — undertone (warm/cool), value (light/deep) and chroma (soft/bright). Those combine into 12 types: Light, True and Bright Spring; Light, True and Soft Summer; Soft, True and Deep Autumn; Deep, True and Bright Winter. Springs and Autumns are warm, Summers and Winters are cool; Summers and Autumns are muted, Springs and Winters are clear.

What You Get

  • Step 1 — temperature: do gold jewellery and warm whites flatter you (warm), or silver and cool whites (cool)?
  • Step 2 — value: is your overall colouring light, medium or deep when you squint at a photo of yourself?
  • Step 3 — chroma: does your colouring look clear and saturated, or soft and blended?
  • Warm + clear = Spring; cool + soft = Summer; warm + soft = Autumn; cool + clear = Winter.
  • Each of the four families splits into three: a light/deep variant, a true variant and a soft/bright variant.
  • The 'true' seasons are dominated by temperature; the others are dominated by depth or clarity.
  • Neutral undertones sit on the boundaries — Soft Summer and Soft Autumn are the most commonly mistyped pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many color seasons are there?
The modern system uses 12: Light, True and Bright Spring; Light, True and Soft Summer; Soft, True and Deep Autumn; Deep, True and Bright Winter. The older system used four, which is why two people with the same season can look wrong in the same colour.
Can I find my color season from a photo?
Yes — that's exactly what AI colour analysis does. It reads undertone, contrast and chroma from a natural-light selfie and returns a 12-season classification with a full palette.
What if I'm between two seasons?
Most people sit close to a boundary. In practice you use the overlap: the colours that appear in both palettes are your safest wardrobe core, and you treat the disputed shades as accents worn away from the face.
Is colour analysis accurate for deep skin tones?
It should be. Older 4-season systems handled deep and neutral colouring badly. A 12-season, photo-based reading measures depth and chroma directly, which is what makes it work across a much wider range of colouring.
