What is color analysis?
Color analysis is a method for identifying which clothing, makeup, and hair colors flatter your specific combination of skin tone, hair, and eyes. The classic framework groups people into four seasonal palettes (spring, summer, autumn, winter), each with characteristic clothing colours that read flattering against that combination.
The seasonal-color system was popularised by Carole Jackson's 1980 book Color Me Beautiful, which built on earlier work by Suzanne Caygill and the Bauhaus colorist Johannes Itten. Each season is defined by three variables: temperature (warm or cool), value (light or deep), and chroma (clear or muted).
Spring is warm, light, and clear. Summer is cool, light, and muted. Autumn is warm, deep, and muted. Winter is cool, deep, and clear. Newer 12-season systems subdivide each into three variations (Light Spring, True Spring, Bright Spring, etc.) for more precision.
Practical use: once you know your season, you know which clothing colours flatter you, which jewellery metal suits you, and which hair shades work with rather than against your skin. The Color Analysis tool reads your undertone from a selfie and shows you side-by-side comparisons against different palettes.
