Interpreting Your Results

Now, go back through your answers and note how many times you answered A, B, C, and D. Look at the letter (or letters) you answered the most, and remember—this is all for fun!

Mostly A’s: Winter

If you’re a Winter, chances are you look best in cool, bold colors like black, white, navy, and ruby red. These jewel-tone colors enhance, rather than dull, your natural contrast and help you to look your best!

Mostly B’s: Autumn

As an Autumn, you may consider seeking out warm, rich colors like olive and mustard yellow. You most likely have a warm skin tone and darker hair, making earth tones the perfect complement to your undertones.

Mostly C’s: Spring

Spring is in season, so it may be time for a wardrobe update that highlights your bright, golden undertones and minimal contrast look. You may consider light colors like golden brown or orange-red.

Mostly D’s: Summer

Summers with soft, delicate features may benefit from a wardrobe upgrade of neutrals or cool and light colors. Soft pink or light gray may be the change your clothing needs to make you feel more confident.

But Wait, There’s More

While the quiz helped you identify your main season, each category is further divided into three groups. For instance, summer has a true, soft, and cool sub-season that can help you gain an even more in-depth understanding of your personal color wheel.

Using Technology to Find Your Color

If you’re interested in seeing these colors on yourself, there are many different apps and filters that now allow you to see yourself next to each of the sub-season wheels. As color analysis continues expanding, so do the choices: you can now find your best jewelry metal, hair color, and make-up.

Origins of Color Analysis

Beginning in the 1920s and 30s, color analysis was influenced by painter and teacher Johannes Itten’s theory of color. The theory has now been adapted to fashion and styling, eventually becoming the system used today.

Rising Trend

Color analysis has become much more accessible and popular than before. The rise of TikTok and social media has brought it to the forefront. Many people are now taking tests and paying for professional sessions to determine if they should keep or swap their wardrobes.

Is Professional Color Analysis Worth It?

Professional color analysis, typically costing between $100 and $400, can provide a more comprehensive assessment. If you want to better understand your coloring, consider investing in a session with a trained professional who uses draping and controlled lighting.

Color Analysis Benefits

Although color analysis can be subjective, knowing your color season can help you pick a wardrobe and make-up routine. Generally, wearing colors that suit your natural features can make you look more vibrant.

You’ve Found Your Colors, Now What?

Luckily, knowing your season doesn’t mean you need to overhaul your entire wardrobe. You might consider adding some new colors to your clothes and accessories, but there’s no need to discard all your existing clothing. Simple enhancements, like jewelry or a scarf, can help you feel more confident in the clothes you already own.
