What Season Am I? The 12 Color Seasons
Your color season is the palette your natural colouring wears best. It is decided by three things: whether your undertone runs warm or cool, how deep your overall colouring is, and how much saturation you can carry before a colour starts wearing you.
Those three axes produce twelve seasons rather than four — which is why one cool-toned person glows in dusty mauve while another needs true black and emerald. If you are new to the idea, start with the fundamentals in our seasonal color analysis guide, then come back here for the sub-season detail.
