Seasons and coloring
No. Skin depth is only one part. Your season comes from undertone, value, chroma and contrast across your skin, hair and eyes together — which is why every season includes people of every skin tone.
Skin tone is the surface color — fair, medium, deep — and changes with a tan. Undertone is the subtle warm, cool or neutral hue underneath, and stays the same. The skin undertone test walks you through it.
How much your hair, skin and eyes stand apart. Dark hair with fair skin is high contrast; hair, skin and eyes of similar depth are low contrast. High-contrast people suit bold combinations; low-contrast people suit blended, tonal outfits.
Yes — 'colour' is the UK, Canadian and Australian spelling. The method is the same.
Taking the quiz
Answer with your natural color — think of your roots or childhood photos. Your natural coloring decides your season; afterwards, your season page suggests hair colors that harmonize with it.

Yes. Color analysis works the same for everyone. Skip the makeup tips and focus on the palette, neutrals and metals for shirts, suits, ties and accessories.
Using your results
Of course. Your palette shows what tends to flatter near your face. Colors outside it work well lower on the body — trousers, shoes, bags — or as small accents.
Paste them into shopping-site color filters, makeup shade finders or design apps to match colors. Remember screens vary, so check colors in person before buying.
Yes. A trained analyst draping fabrics in controlled light remains the most accurate method. The quiz is a free, quick starting point.
