Find your color season
How the quiz works
Each answer moves three scores: warm or cool, light or deep, and bright or soft. The quiz then picks the season whose profile is closest. Your dominant trait decides the family of three, and your second trait picks the season within it.
- Mostly warm and clear: a Spring. Mostly warm and soft: an Autumn.
- Mostly cool and soft: a Summer. Mostly cool and clear: a Winter.
- A very strong light, deep, bright or soft score points to the Light, Deep, Bright or Soft season of that family.
A quiz cannot see you, so treat the answer as a starting point. Try the palette of your result and of its two neighbors, and keep the one that makes your skin look clear and even.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is a color analysis quiz?
A quiz is a good first guess, especially for undertone and contrast, but it relies on how you see yourself. Confirm the result by comparing colors from your season and its neighbors in daylight.
Do I need to remove makeup and hair dye?
Remove makeup and answer the hair question for your natural color (or the color you had as a young adult). Dyed hair can still change which neighboring season suits you best day to day.
What if I get a different result each time?
That usually means you sit between two neighboring seasons, for example Soft Summer and Soft Autumn. Both palettes share many colors; wear the shared ones and test the rest.
Is the quiz free?
Yes. The quiz, every season palette and the hex codes are free to use, and you can open any palette in the generator to edit or export it.
