Note from December 2020: I updated my quiz thanks to your kind feedback about the lack of deeper skin tones and examples. I also demonstrate the dominant characteristics with real-life women in the last question instead of celebrities.

I hope that with these changes, you will find this fun quiz more accurate and helpful.

These six illustrated questions help to identify the traits on your face and the flattering shades.

For an accurate result, please try to use similar traits – light or warm or soft, etc.

In the 1-3 questions, I ask questions about your face’s characteristics – the color of your hair, eyes, and skin tone. 

In the 4-6 questions, you should choose from different color shades and look-a-likes.

  1. Hello, Agnes!

    I just received my color palettes in the mail, and I love them! I ordered the soft autumn and warm autumn. Your quiz is so easy and your site is just fun to browse. I’ve sent links to your quiz to several of my friends and they love it as well.

    Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity!

  2. I had my colors done many years ago with Color Me Beautiful and was identified as a Summer. I am curious about the new designations like Soft Summer and Summer-Autumn.

  3. Hello, I’m having some trouble figuring out what winter type I am. I have taken many quizzes, yours too, yet I keep getting different results so it makes me uncertain…
    I originally thought I was a Deep Winter, because I have naturally dark hair and eyes, with a high contrast between skin tone, eyes and hair color. I also have dark eyebrows and eyelashes.
    I have light, rosy beige skin (with pink undertones and blue veins) and I do tan easily. My hair is naturally very dark (black brown, with no redness or golden highlights) and I also have very dark brown eyes, with a big contrast between the iris and the white part.
    Colors that are warm and golden can make me look sick and yellowish, because I’m sensitive to the ‘hue’ as my skin lacks warmth. On the contrary, with cool colors, my skin tone looks better.
    I think I’m also influenced by ‘value’ or ‘chroma’, as I tend to look better in defined and pure colors rather than muted or pastel colors.
    I look good in Deep Winter colors, except the warmer colors. For example, I can easily wear pure black, white, navy, grey and even some icy colors.
    Do you think I am a Deep Winter or a Cool/True Winter? Or maybe something else?
    Thank you in advance!

    1. This is me! Anything warm even a light beige or cream looks sickly on me. I have black hair, very dark eyes but light skin which tans but I also have freckles. My skin goes quite red which I think doesn’t work with the warm hues. Cooler hues cool me off so to speak and anything super contrasting helps reduce the redness look. eg. when I dye my hair black (bc i get greys!) the first day it looks very striking and makes my skin look great! Anything more warming especially yellow or orange looks yuck! I think our colour type is in the minority oddly, so interesting to know what we would be. I think it is cool, deep winter ??

  4. Hello and thank you for this amusing quiz! As other people who have commented, I’m unsure about some answers and I got very different results each time I tried the test. I’m a Mediterranean Italian and I think my undertone is neutral, very light ivory with both green and purple veins on my wrists. My skin is nothing fine or delicate, it never got burn because of the sun and I don’t blush easily, but… I do get very pale in winter, I get tan very slowly (you can’t even tell at the end of summer) and I look paler than most people I know; also, my natural lip colour is purple, “rotten meat” purple.
    My hair is curly and mousy medium ash brown, although some people consider it dark brown, with no highlights… I have a soft of reddish-blondish halo because the curls tips gets lighter and spolied by the sunlight as they get very long, but that has nothing to do with highlights as my hair doesn’t shine at all. The word that best describes my eye colour is, in my opinion, chestnut, but that’s not a warm shade of brown; it’s a cool, greyish and very muted medium brown with a darker “petal” design inside the iris. It’s so muted you can’t tell what colour my eyes are until you get very close – although they do look dark – and some people who had only seen me in photographs, thought I had green eyes. The white part of the eye looks ivory.
    Thank you in advance for answering!

  5. Hello,
    Thank for this quiz, it was interesting to try it out. However, I couldn’t really answer the questions regarding which colours flatter me and which lipstick colour complements my face – I took this test exactly with the aim of trying to find out the answer to these questions! I have no idea which colours look best on me, because I don’t know my color type.

    Thanks anyway, it contained useful info 🙂

  6. Hi Agnes, I am wondering what season I am and the more I delve into it the more uncertain I am. I originally thought I was a Light Spring but I think those colors are sometimes a little too washed out on me, like the neutrals really seem too bland though I cold still be a Light Spring. I think I could be a Warm Spring, Warm Autumn, or possibly a Clear Spring.

    I have very fair skin with yellow tones and I do not burn in the sun very easily but tan, though gradually. I get freckles in the sun. My eyes are a blue-green with a dark ring around the edge and also grey mixed in. My hair is naturally a dark blonde to light brown in an ashy muted color that appears more grey or green based, not golden. I am very flattered by brassy hair colors such as orange and very golden. Too light does seem to wash me out and I look best with medium blonde or dark blonde in caramel, strawberry blonde, a violet base, or copper red, but not brown which is too dark and plain. I look good with highlights and lowlights. I have had auburn but it feels a little dark. Hairdressers etc. always tell me to get copper hair. My veins do not appear green or blue. My cheeks are often naturally pink so they always try to give me cool foundations at the makeup counter, but it makes me look ill. I do not look well in black eyeliner but I need some eyeliner or my eyes disappear too much into my face. I like the eyeliner color Bourbon by Urban Decay. I can wear black mascara.

    I look good in Light Spring colors except the neutrals. For Warm Spring the neutrals are better for me, but very bright red can be overpowering. The right darkness would be a medium light color value or medium, too dark is harsh and too light is lacking life. Too bright is clownish and too muted is drab and plain and makes me seem to disappear and look tired. I look bad in black and true white, but I was told by an analyst that I am probably not Light Spring because black isn’t really horrible on me though not really good either. I was told by someone that I could be a Clear Spring, but to me the colors seem a little loud and overpowering, but perhaps my eye is not used to them? But lastly I have considered Warm Autumn because I can wear those colors and they flatter me well, but I am unsure if I look better in the True Spring colors that are more vibrant and fresh or the more muted colors of Autumn?

    Colors that are too deep and rusty can make me look dull and muddy but I can wear a rust red shirt just not as a lipstick. Cool toned makeup or harsh colors really seem to make me look tired. I think pink or fuschia or light more subdued red or warm pinkish-red lipcolors like watermelon, berry pink, sunset reddish pink, as well as peach, coral, salmon, melon, and some slightly orange reds (but not overly bright or it can be clownish) lipcolors are best on me, if the color has brown in it it looks bad as well as if it is too clear of a red that is cool but not obviously pink or orange, oxblood is ok and some deep reds. The color Medieval by Lipstick Queen is what I would describe as my best red. For greens, forest green, army green, mint, or lime. Daffodil, buttercup, and marigold yellow or golds. I do seem to favor pink very well even barbie pinks or light carnation pink, I can wear deep red and burgundy colors. For my neutrals camel is a very good color for me and so is a golden warm brown or milk chocolate, but gray is not good nor is tan or taupe or colors that dissapear into my skin. Brighter navy is another neutral I can wear and greens, but neutrals are not best on me compared to non neutral colors. Also magenta and fuschia, coral, and rosy or warm pinks, orange like sherbert or tiger lily orange etc are good colors for me. Blue-greens and aqua looks good, and robins egg blue etc. I look very flattered by lots of glitz, sparkle, and reflective metal or shiny finishes in bronze, gold, brass and copper. I am used to wearing certain colors though so it’s hard to tell how I would look in something else.
    Sorry if that’s too much information! Do you think I sound like I am a Warm Spring or a Warm Autumn or maybe something else? If you read this, thank you so much for your help! I will be purchasing some things in your shop when I have it narrowed down : )

  7. Hello! I took your quizzes and used the different charts and graphs and CANNOT figure out my color season for the life of me! Would you be able to help me?

    Natural hair color: medium brown (ends are blonde now)
    Eye color: medium brown
    Skin tone: beige/cool skin with pink/rosy under tones

  8. Hi, I am having so much trouble figuring out my season etc. I have taken many quiz and yours is the most detailed, but I keep getting different results and that makes me very unsure. I have naturally ash light/medium brown hair and then hazel(olive green with brown) eyes. I have fair skin, freckles in the summer and I think I have neutral undertones, but I am not sure on that. I am going to be honest, I am not quite sure what colors wash me out and what colors are right for me. I do like to wear greys in all shades, navy and royal blue and some medium shades, dark purples. I do like to wear some bright and lighter colors but I am not sure if they actually wash me out or are unflattering or not. Maybe you can help me please?

    1. Hi Sara,
      Thank you for taking my quiz. Based on your description, I think you are a Shaded Soft Summer or a Deep Winter, but the Summer is more likely.
      This problem is typical for Soft Summer because that is an often misdiagnosed seasonal palette: it has a medium and neutral look that can be seen, sometimes warmer and sometimes cooler depending on the color you are wearing. Also, Soft Summers often don’t find the right shades: brighter colors can be overwhelming as well as darker colors. Besides, the light shades could be too pale. I suggest checking out my blog post where I show face examples and flattering colors too.

  9. Hi! I don’t mean to be a bother, but I’ve been getting very different results when I take this. So I think it might be wise that I share my characteristics to get this all sorted out. I have very fair skin that has a gold glow to it in natural light, my eyes are blue-hazel (in the sun, most of my iris is amber in color, but indoors my eyes are blue-hazel), and I have medium-dark golden brown hair that gets red highlights in the sun. I’m told that I look good in yellow-gold and forest green. I’m thinking I’m either a clear or a warm, but have been getting deep and soft for results.

    1. Hi, thank you for taking my quiz and sharing your results.
      Based on your description, I think you are probably one of the warm seasons. I can imagine you as a Shaded Soft Autumn or a Deep Autumn because of your hair’s darker color. I suggest checking out those blog posts with celebrity examples and suitable color palettes. To be sure, I should see your photo.

  10. Hi! Thanks for the quiz, i think it is one of the greatest that i’ve had, but i am still in doubt. Sometimes i recognize myself as a soft person, sometimes don’t. I have struggled to know what season am i mostly because i have dark eyes, but at my country we don’t really pay attention what kind of colour these dark eyes are. We don’t have such a thing like hazel, dark hazel, kinds os brown and stuff. So, i have these kind of brown eyes with freckles at the same brown, either light, either very, very dark, with a dark grey ring around de iris. And i have also grey brown eyebrows and lashes. I have a translucent fair skin with pink undertone (no freckles). I was blonde as a child, but now a days my hair is medium grey brown with a few natural blonde hairlights. I can’t tell if i am soft enought to be a soft summer (becouse of my eyes) or bright enought to be cool summer/winter, but i can say for sure that i don’t have enought contrast to be deep anything or dress orange, earthy colors or twig/kinda sexy mac lipsticks. Help me, please, everybody that has brown eyes has to be autumns or deep winters?

    1. Hello Lina,
      Thank you for taking my quiz. Based on your description, you could be a Shaded Soft Summer. This is the deeper version of the Soft Summer seasonal palette, and the ladies with this palette can have brown eyes, even deep brown. I had a client once who had deep brown eyes but lighter hair color; if she would color her hair dark, she could be a Deep Winter, but she was probably a Soft Summer with her natural hair color.
      Try on these shades: black vs. gray, if you are a Winter black will suit you, if you are a Summer black will be too harsh; or bright red vs. raspberry red, the brighter red will look good on Winters while the softer raspberry red will look lovely on Summers. You can use these red shades as lipsticks as well.

      1. Thank you very much for the answer, Agnes! I think you were very assertive. I was always confused because in most places I read that soft summers tend towards autumn coloring, but I always had the feeling that I am a kind of Anne Hathaway that faded, if I dye my hair darker I would be a deep winter, not a deep autumn. I tried the colors you recommended and now I’m sure. I am very grateful. Thanks again!

  11. I have medium red hair, pale skin with blue veins. My eyes are blue/gray to gray. I have freckles. I cannot wear any thing yellow or that has a yellow/orange undertone. I have taken several of these quizzes and they all seem to different answers. Most seem to say “Warm Spring and Warm Autumn”. But there is quite a bit of difference between them. Could you help, please?

    1. Hi,
      Thank you for taking my quiz. It is interesting that you have red hair, but you feel yellow, and orange shades don’t suit you. Usually, these colors compliment your hair color. I would suggest the Soft Autumn seasonal palette. This season has lovely muted colors; maybe you will like these yellows and oranges more. Or, you can simply not wear any yellow or orange shades; it’s not compulsory. 😉
      The difference between the Warm Spring and the Warm Autumn palette is the depth; the Warm Spring palette is light and bright, while the Warm Autumn colors are deeper and a little bit muted.

  12. I have some strugles determinating my seasonal skin type. I have long , straight, dark brown hair with a few golden strands, and deep brown eyes. My skin color is something between light and medium, depends of season, with a neutral undertone.

  13. Hi!
    I always end up as a soft summer, except my eyes are rather bright blue, nor muted/soft. Can I be a soft summer?

  14. I’m trying to figure out if I am Cool Summer or Cool Winter. I think I might be winter but maybe not since my hair is right on the line. I have extremely fair cool toned skin (sometimes fair porcelain foundation is too dark for me) and freckles, medium Ash Brown Hair, I have very bright blue-grey eyes with a dark limbal ring around them that gives a big contrast. I have a pretty large amount of contrast between my features, but I can wear some of the colors on the cool summer palette and look pretty good. I can wear more of the cool winters colors though, I think. Since my hair color is right on the line, do I sound more like a cool winter or summer? Also, I love this quiz!

  15. It said I was deep color, which I always thought. But I think I’m winter over a summer. It’s confusing because I don’t know if I’m being completely biased. Which if I’m not then my undertone will be completely off. I’m not worried so much about clothes but for my foundation it’s a must. I either come out too yellow or too pink. It actually said I could be a deep Autumn. I don’t know. I love the deep Winter colors too. The best way to easily describe my overall look is native Indian. Dark dark hair and eyes but tan. I’m not native Indian, I’m a huge mix of things…. so possibly some. But I still can’t decipher. I need someone totally biased.. That means not my mom.

    1. Based on your description, you are most likely a Deep Winter. Summers can’t have dark hair and eyes because one of their main traits is light (plus cool and pastel/soft). Deep Winter skin tones vary from light beige to ebony and can have blue, rosy, or neutral undertones. If your foundations are too yellow or pink, I would try to find a neutral shade.

  16. The representation of diverse skin tones is seriously lacking.
    10 white foundations. 2 darker tones.
    11 white eyes, 1 black.
    14 white celebrities, 3 black, 1 latina.
    I feel that there should have been way more inclusion. The beautiful ranges of black and brown, and everything in between, were painfully missing. I am not trying to be preachy, or put you down. However, I feel if you have a platform, and are trying to assist people with beauty, there has to be an effort to make everyone feel welcome, and included. I saw the other commenters voicing the same concern at the top, but found the responses to not be helpful or understanding to their points of view. Please help stick up for everyone. All are deserving.

    1. I’m aware of the beautiful range of deeper skin tones, and I truly admire them. However, in this seasonal color analysis system that I use, if you have deeper skin tone, you usually have dark eyes and hair color as well. So, you mostly fall into the Deep dominant trait category. I analysed ladies with brown and black skin tones, and they were Deep Winters most of the time, only once a Deep Autumn. I know that there are ladies with red hair or lighter eyes who have tan or deeper skin tones, but they are exceptions. Based on my experience, with tan, bronze or darker skin tones, you are most likely a Deep Winter or a Deep Autumn, maybe one of the Soft seasonal palettes, in a rare case, a Warm Autumn. That is why I only demonstrated fewer celeb examples. I’ll update the foundation photos, however you can find names of deeper skin tone in the descriptions.

      1. Okay can you help me then I was told I was a soft summer but the features don’t match. I have curly mousy in between blonde brown hair, a nice tan, extremely dark brown eyes and pale lips. The test described me as pale and light toned all over, so I knew that was wrong. What am I really?

      2. People of color cannot rely on quizzes like this that are not made for us. It is most helpful to compare your coloring in relation to others in your ethnic group. For example, as an African American, I am medium brown when compared with lighter and darker skinned black people. If I compared myself to white people, I will always be dark. If it was up to many of the gurus, all black people would be “deep.” Obviously that is incorrect.

    2. I honestly don’t know the percentage of us are Hispanics or Asians in this country. Blacks are about 13%. I think sometimes we forget, because of Hollywood, advertising, etc., that whites are, whether this is PC or not, about 65%-to% of the population, and of course, “white” is a global category that stretches from Scandinavian blond to Italian and Jewish heritage— and, of course, Hispanics, too, in our census system, are all colors from fair to olive to dark and from many regions of the world

      It’s a bit sad that some still see fellow citizens as victims who need to be “stuck up” for by others. I think this is well-done. (Though I never fit neatly into any of these categories…) Thanks!

  17. What about darker skin tones? There are no options for black skin colours and only one black celeb! The darkest colour listed is medium, why did you leave off the skin tones of so many people?!

      1. There are options for darker skin tones and traits under the “deep” characteristic. I illustrate the seasonal palettes with more than one celebrities in the last question with deeper skin tones as well.

    1. Girl, they put Lupita and Jlo as the same seasonal sisters… as a latina I had a really hard time selecting my answers

      1. As it stated, this is a free and fun quiz to find your dominant characteristic (light, deep, soft, clear, cool, or warm).
        Lupita and J Lo both has deep dominant traits that is why they are in the same option. They aren’t each other’s seasonal color sisters. The question asks about you and your seasonal color sister…
        As a Latina, you probably have the deeper traits so the moderately bright and rich colors flatter your look.

    2. Seasonal types aren’t really about how light or dark the skin tone is. Finding your season is more about undertones and intensity. Anyway, you would choose “deep” to relate to your tone. You are probably a Winter (cool) or Autumn (warm), and your intensity could vary between bright, clear, or soft (more to do with your eye color and overall contrast). To be honest, the examples shown with lighter people are so because the varieties are found more on fair to medium groups. But anyway, your season is more about your undertone. Start with knowing if you are warm or cool (which is simple – which colors look best on you, warm or cool?). Perhaps read more of the research provided to understand the difference about seasonal palettes versus skin color – it is not the same at all. You could share the same season palette with a fair person, it has less to do with the color of your skin and more to do with the warmth/coolness levels and intensity.

      1. Thank you for this informative and helpful comment. 🙂
        Based on my experience, with tan, bronze or darker skin tones, they most likely have Deep Winter or Deep Autumn, maybe one of the Soft seasonal palettes, in a rare case, the Warm Autumn season. I know that there are ladies with red hair or lighter eyes who has tan or deeper skin tones, but they are exceptions. One of the best ways to decide if you are warm or cool is to try on an orange and a purple top/scarf. If you have warm characteristics, orange will compliment that, and if you have cool the purple shade will match you.

  18. I have taken quizzes like this many times. I have pale skin, more pink than yellow. My eyes are deep, dark brown — you can’t even see my pupil. My hair was dishwater blonde naturally, though I have colored it much of adult life. In my 40s I went back to my natural color. My hair began to become pale, yellow blonde, which I finally realized was gray-white hair with natural highlights. My hairdresser said people pay lots to have that I tended to have naturally. (I color it now dark blonde.)

    I have been told by color analysts that I am summer or spring or autumn. I’m seem to be a hybrid of different seasons.

  19. I have always been a spring but now my hair has turned silver and my eyes have faded to a very light blue. the choices given do not match what I am now. I think I am a winter now ( very tan as I live in florida) but have no clue which of the three types of winter. I would like to get a fan but need some more choices on the quiz to decide the appropriate one. any additional sections of the site that address the aging woman

    1. Hello Martha,
      Thank you for taking my quiz. As I stated above, this is just a fun and easy quiz, not a professional color analysis.
      As you age and your hair turns gray, you don’t change your main seasonal color palette. This is a big misunderstanding. If you were a Spring before, you are a Spring now as well just with lighter and softer contrasts. For example, a Warm Spring could flow toward the Light Spring palette. It is physically impossible to jump from a light and warm season, like the Spring, to a high contrast, cool and vivid palette like the Winter.
      If you wish, you can send me a couple of photos, and I’ll check your seasonal palette.

  20. I ticked raspberry and cool pink but didn’t get redirected to any page, please how does one get involved in this awesome quizzes Mrs. Agnes?

  21. Hi , hoping you can help..

    I have ashy medium brown hair with gold highlights naturally in summer but hair turns Chestnut in winter /autumn. My skin is neutral with yellow and sallow undertones, is fair & tans easy but has pink flecks in cheeks but not cool? I don’t freckle on my face .My eyes are green/blue with yellow around pupil .. people say I look warm like autumn but when analysised I came out clear spring ..

    Some of colours work .. but I’m not sure if I’m warm or bright enough. Could I be a soft summer type ?

  22. I was a little confused when taking your quiz but I think your analysis was great. Problem is I’m a stylish 76 year old with white hair ( used to be ash blond). All of your models were young, and no one with white or grey hair. I think I’m more like Judy Dench. Am I warm or cool summer.

  23. Hello,

    I have taken this quiz a few times, but I’m not certain I’m even selecting the correct items to give me the right results. The quiz returned that i’m autumn/deep autumn/and deep winter…. I was wondering if it was possible for me to email photos of my face sans makeup to see if you could verify that you agree with the color palette the quiz returned?

  24. I took the quiz and got a spring pallete since I have honey golden blonde hair and baby blue eyes, but my skin is very pale with some red undertones. Now I’m more confused about what my seasonal pallete is and can anyone help me out please?

  25. Hello! I found your site when I was going through seasonal complexion quizes. There are a lot of questions that I feel like I fit into multiple answers; I have light ash brown hair, but there are golden and copper highlights, especially toward the ends. Sometimes it doesnt show up in photos but it’s clear in person/in the sun. I have green eyes that seem warm–there are specs of yellow and the border of my iris is greyish blue. My skin is neutral, but sometimes in the winter I have to go to a lighter cool porcelain foundation. Yet, I have redness in my skin since it’s sensitive. Some of my veins are blue, some are green. I feel like I look good in bright lipsticks, but not bright clothing. When I saw the celeb photos, I don’t know who I look like. What are the different packages where you can select for me? Maybe with some photos of me it’ll be easy for you to choose.

    1. Hi, I have same problem 🙂 I am really pale type, with naturally ash light brown but with yellow freckles and my eyes are sometime green, sometime blue and sometime grey 😀 my veins are blue and green. What the hell I am? 😀

    2. This sounds just like me. I think I’m in the middle of soft summer and soft autumn (neutral) with a preference for cooler colours. What answer did you get on the quiz? I haven’t finished it yet but I will let you know my results. No matter what we both are, I wouldn’t be surprised if we are the same one.

  26. Where can I find the free Quiz for men? I’ve already done my analysis with you and have my info.

  27. Took your test, it came out cool Winter. Then I had my colors professionally done in the UK. Again, I tested Cool Winter. Your test was right on! Both tests have given me the courage to stop coloring and go gray. I’ve read that both cool winter and summer gray beautifully. Couldn’t be happier with my new silvery hair!? Thanks!

  28. Hallo. I am confused. Dark brown eyes without big contrast on my iris,brown dark hair and porcelain cool skin. With blue undertones my skin. Dark doesnt suit me. It makes my face very hard. What is my season?

  29. It.. It doesn’t work.It doesn’t work 🙁 I’m using Edge, and I tried it with mobile firefox and internet explorer as well.

    1. Hi, thank you so much for your notice. I’ve also tried and I don’t know what’s the problem, it worked well a couple of days ago.
      Please, try it on your computer/laptop for me it’s working on these devices. Thank you.

      1. It wasn’t working on my desktop until now, and even though it does now, the formatting is a bit strange, squishing everything together

        1. I’m so sorry for your inconveniences. I contacted my developer and I hope he will help me solve the issues as soon as possible.

  30. I LOVE THE QUIZ – REALLY SPOT ON – AND I THINK AGNES HAS TONE OF THE VERY BEST SITES ON THE NET. BRILLIANT!!!!

    1. Hmm? Deep Autumn but also Deep Winter and Also Cool Winter??
      Not all traits are included and so its hard to chose. Ie: my skin which once was dusky deep is now Medium Fair NEUTRAL skin. I don’t see options for neutral. I also think lips without lipstick should be noted because my daughters are a soft pink and mine are a deep deep pink. There’s no lipstick for that – no, Medium Deep Muted Lipstick (ie: sugared chestnut which is a muted brown pink) and my hair is Deepest Brown which people often say is black but its not. It could pass for warm or cool depending on the season. Deep with hints of chocolate and in winter just looks ashen and hairdressers always want to warm it to make it much warmer which I can’t carry,. When I was young it was level 5 brown with gold and bronzed copper in it and people thought I tipped the ends of my hair but it was just that way with each passing decade its changed a lot. Hairdresser told me recently that your hair changes colour every 7 years of your life! Made sense to me, I have gone successively darker.
      In this quiz I get a mix – “Deep Autumn but you are also Deep Winter, but you are also Cool Winter” that sounds about what I always get. Confusion. I have had multiple real life colour analysis which ends up different each time with them scratching their heads. In the end I get a swatch that I try to follow and end up with colours I hate! I call it Toxic Wardrobe Syndrome!
      So, am I in fact a Toned Winter, who looks like an autumn due my skin tone?

      1. Hello Mariah,
        thank you for trying out my quiz but as I mentioned it at the beginning of the page: that is not a professional color analysis.
        I give three options at the end because it could show the differences.
        I’ll add the neutral skin tone to the descriptions but I suggested the muted lipstick shades under the SOFT category just not that one you mentioned.

        Your colors sound really interesting and sometimes it’s not so easy to pick just one seasonal palette. There are women who have on the borderline between two seasons but it’s quite unique. If you wish, send me a couple of photos of your face to hello@30somethingurbangirl.com and I check your season. According to your description, I think you are probably one of the Deep seasons and because of you have more warm traits, you could be a Deep Autumn.

  31. This quiz is obviously based on the "dominant trait" school of colour analysis (where you 1st decide the dominant trait, i.e. deep, light, soft etc.), whereas I subscribe to the Sci/Art & 12blueprints theory, where every season can have any hair, eye & skin colour, and the season is determined *only* by the effect that different colours have on one's skin, by which ones make it look its best. So I mainly tried this quiz just for fun 🙂 But incidentally, every time I did it (3 times), the first 3 options did include one or two which actually might be my proper season 🙂 (I have narrowed it down to a few, but not 100% sure yet.) Although, every time the first 3 options were partly different, depending on the slightly different answers to some of the questions, as for most of them different answers are possible, e.g. one can be flattered by several different groups of makeup & clothes shades! And for me, giving a totally honest answer to the first 3 questions, I'd be assigned to 3 different "dominant theory" groups: light & cool to nr 1 (hair colour), light & warm to nr 2 (eyes), and deep & warm to nr 3 (skin).
    (I know I'm far from obvious to classify, and that's one reason I do subscribe to the Sci/Art colour theory, as I find it most accurate as it's not based on any one dominant feature. )

    But even though my results were not *totally* off the mark (apart from suggestions of fully "cool" seasons), I do think this kind of self-analysing quiz can be misleading, as for most people it's difficult to really be objective about their best colours, unless they have long studied colour theory, and definitely not about which celebrity they look like, and many people may not look like any of them…! So maybe best to leave out the "which of these celebrities you look like" section, for better accuracy; just a suggestion 🙂

    1. I’ve read a lot on the sci-fi theory and the 12 blueprints. The emails are heavy duty and no matter how much you try to ask a few questions you always get “can’t tell until you are draped” Yet I have been draped 5 times and no one can tell.

      Go figure?

  32. Well, when I was little I used to have golden-ish blonde hair which darkened and faded over the years to a mousy colour. Now my hair is dyed to a deep, warm brown colour. My eyes are deep dark brown, like coffee. My skin is light, when I put a white sheet next to it it's orangey, with red undertone. My veins are green. I really can't tell what my season type is…

  33. This was fun! I got soft summer. Makes sense, since I do look good in muted colors, but I also find I look good in bright pink so *shrug*.

  34. Ugh. I'm just as lost as I was before, it says i could be deep winter or deep autumn. I don't look like any of these celebrities at all. I'm half irish and half southern italian, leaning heavily towards italian. Dark olive green eyes with flecks of blue and brown ring around the pupil. Medium olive skin, very yellow to where no cover-up makeup usually matches, my veins appear blue at the thinnest area on my wrist, then change to green further up my arm/hand. My hair is dark ash brown (almost black) with no highlights and no red. My gray hair is turning pure white (not blonde) as I age. Orange shirts make me look really yellow and light blue shirts make me look pale. I look great in deep purples, deep forest green, deep red, black and dark brown. White makes me pale, ivory doesn't drain my color but still doesn't look great. Gold makes me look yellower, silver makes me look paler. I'm thinking I'm a "Deep Winter" but I don't look good in silver/white/blues, but look horrible in Autumn colors. The olive skin is really throwing me and I've tried every trick to figure out my season to no avail. What do I do from here?

  35. I am a spring, I don't know for sure which variety. I have warm skin tones, no freckles, don't burn, warm light/med brown hair, gray blue eyes with no warm flecks or radiating white lines. I filled my wardrobe with peachy coral colors with rave reviews. I have let my hair go gray. It is a warm gray. I have no idea what colors look good now. The peaches are not as good as they were. Help?

  36. This quiz is very helpful. I was told in the 90s I was a Winter but my mother always said I was a Summer. I am definitely cool and cannot wear any warm colors or gold jewelry without looking sick. But I have always been so close between Winter and Summer that I almost could go either way. I took this quiz and came out Cool Summer primarily with secondary Cool Winter. I have always found many Winter colors to be "too much" for me even though I "look like" a Winter, the clearer and darker Summer colors are my best. My hair is medium ash brown with some cool highlights (naturally), and I have pink/porcelain skin that blushes, both are Summer but my eyes are darker grey-green/hazel that would put me in the Winter category. Most of my best colors and the colors I am instinctively drawn to are darker Summer colors, but a few fall into Cool Winter. I get more compliments in Cool Summer colors, though. I do love wearing black but mostly away from my face. When I dyed my hair Winter dark I was told by coworkers that I looked washed out. About the darkest I can go with my hair and not look gothy pale is level 6 ash brown. My dad and my husband always tell me they don't like me in black near the face, they always prefer me in blues. Red lipstick also looks harsh on me. I do look really good in light blue and silver together and always get compliments. My best lipstick is also a more medium/muted pinky-purple color. So I think this quiz is very likely right on and I am indeed a Cool Summer.

  37. Hey Agnes … My whole life I've been diagnosed as a winter, but I'm not so sure.. I have very dark neutral brown hair that leans towards gold, very dark cool brown eyes. And very pale neutral skin that leans towards yellow.
    I look nasty in khaki and burnt colors, great in Most winter colors like bright pink, royal blue however..I think fushias, many lavenders or grey all notorious cool tones don't do much for me. I do look fantastic in lite bright yellows and watermelon.. Dull, very dark or very lite green don't do much for me either my best green is Kelly, a mid-very bright green tone. Please help. Everyone always naturally assumes I'm a winter.. But I think people are not 100 % right…

  38. Here's a strange phenomenon – I have medium deep neutral skin, my eyes were once deep brown and now are a deep hazel, my hair (if I left it alone)would be 20% silver at the front only and the rest is now a deep ash brown. When I was young, though, it was a golden brown but I was out in the sun all the time, rain, hail or shine, if I hold my plait I kept from my first haircut at 13 against my daughters plait we kept from her first haircut at 13 it is identical. Yet the hairdresser tells me her hair is called ash grey and I see it as a mousy neutral brown, however, it looked quite different on me, because I had deep dark eyes and deep skin. My skin is a dusky brown when I go out in the sun… with all that in mind, I have been personally to get my colours done and they always veer between toned winter or dusky, warm, deep. Yet, when I did my wardrobe to those colours I was so bored and didn't have the slightest desire to wear them or get dressed even! It was a dressing gown or gym gear day for months. Lately I have gone to brighter colours and at last feel like I love my clothes again and WANT to get dressed. Autumn colours are drab and dirty, winter colours are too bright and black is beautiful as long as I have plenty of skin showing. Hairdressers have been telling me for 3 years that my hair needs to be chocolate, my own hair would be "like having molasses tipped over my head" so the ageing process, the colour changes in my eyes and the slight fading of my skin and the desire to know who I am, and seeing colour specialists has left me totally bewildered! Totally! The palette one gave me was all greens and browns and a few spartan reds and oranges or corals. The other was a mish mash and I was on the cusp of completely neutral and was just warm with high contrast like Princess Mary apparently. The whole thing is so confusing and yet, if you want to know, if you desire to know, if you are slowly going mad not knowing, its likely you'll be typed a different thing altogether and send you to the nut house. Now lipstick is not a good sign because as we age (50 in November) our lipstick needs to soften. Years ago I would wear red without the slightest concern, but now at my age, even though I am told daily I look 30ish, it feels wrong. These famous beauties, if you look them up, eg: Eva Longoria, she is naturally cool deep and they all have dyed hair and makeup. So, the basic gist is that one cannot tell by a quiz who they are. Its not fun either, because the answers can cause you to buy things that look hideous on you or revamp a wardrobe into something you hate also. I have been told I am an enigma ~ know what that means? Hard to fathom. And age can take you anywhere from your original colours. Stress in life can send you grey or lose hair colour. IN fact stress can take your hair completely. So, how can one know if this is an exact science that can be relied upon to buy clothes that cost money?
    I was told in a boutique that I was a spring and we often wear black.
    In antoher boutique I was told I am warm but should stick to reds, muted oranges, true corals and the warmer, brighter colours nothing deep or dowdy like khaki. And chocolate brown, no way! I end up brown hair, brown eyes, brown skin and brown colours – no variant. So who the heck in this system of pay and get analysed continually am I?

  39. Hello, there came to me that I can be warm, but also soft autumn. I have dark brown hair, slightly golden reflections are lawful for me, paler complexion when I'm tanned, with a little pink, easily blush, badly sunbathe, always ahead burn red, then get brown, I have a lot of freckles – on hands and face, more on hands – golden-brown, in summer time seems to me that I have more, hazel eyes – greenish-brown, mottled with dark gray circuit. I know that does not suit me normal orange, I am not wear. I like military green, khaki, marsala, powdery pink, body color, brown, banana yellow, navy blue, beige, animal prints – leopard, zebra in any case. I think I am rather soft autumn ……. Please what do you think?

  40. I took this quiz 3 times, and tried very hard to check the box that I thought was true for me each time (I wasn't positive I was being objective about myself, but, in the end, I had to answer the same way for all the questions except 1)~~~all 3 times I ended up being the season I thought I was, but had never seem to fit the criteria to be in the past~~this quiz gives great examples, and great, detailed text to help you choose~~when my results came up, I was happy! Bring on the lipstick and foundation!

  41. I took the quiz 3 times and tried really hard to check the boxes that I believed based upon pics given as examples, to be true~~I was amazed, because I came out to be the season I always felt I was, but I didn't seem to fit the criteria for it~~the lipstick was very easy for me to choose, as was the foundation~~the results, accompanied by a detailed analysis, really did fit me! So glad I took this quiz; it is a much better, more in depth quiz than others offered online~~very happy!

  42. Hi Kaitte,
    thanks for trying out my quiz. The quiz has 6 questions so I can imagine that on the other 3 about which colors suit you the best, you maybe chose rather cool shades. As a result, your main suggested seasonal palette is one of the cool seasons with ashy characteristics.
    At the end of the test, it suggests you 3 possible options. What were the others?
    You can retake the quiz anytime you want if you wish.

  43. I just took this quiz, the results have all my features wrong..
    I'm not an ash brown or anything ash.
    I used be a dark Auburn, now I'm silver light pepper
    My skin tone is porcelain, ivory
    My eyes are hazel green, grey, brown
    I chose these answers as close as it would let me, all of them on your answers were wrong..

  44. Agnes,
    I am sorry to be a bother but I have been struggling with trying to determine if Im a clear winter or cool winter. Im redoing my wardrobe as I return to the corporate world after doing volunteer work for a non profit and being a mom for years. I really want to get this right. I will send a picture and see if you can make the final call on it so I can go forward. Thank you so much!
    Linda W

  45. Hello Sandra,
    thank you for trying out my quiz. About your description, you could be a Soft Summer or one of the Light seasons. At the end of the test, it suggests you 3 possible options. What were the others?
    As I mentioned above, this quiz is not a professional color analysis just a fun test to give you an idea or a direction about your possible seasonal palette.
    You can send me a couple of photos about your make-up free face to 30somethingurbangirl@gmail.com and I will check your color palette.

  46. This quiz claims I am a "Soft Summer". I have pale yellow-white blond hair and green eyes with golden specks (which I would conclude as being warm eyes). My undertone is pink, but my skin has a very light golden cast. Is this telling the truth, or just a gag quiz?

  47. Hi Sharon,
    thank you for your comment and trying out my quiz. I think if you can tan you're probably not a Light season because their skin tone is usually quite pale and can burn easily. However, skin tone is just one characteristic that determine a seasonal palette. Also Soft Summer could be right because it's between the Light and Cool Summer palettes. To be more certain, send me a couple of photos about your make-up free face to 30somethingurbangirl@gmail.com and I will check your color palette.

    1. Hello there Agnes! I have been taking the quiz anytime I come to visit your website here and it’s been really well done! ???. I’m still wondering until nowadays if I’m really a deep/dark winter (I have dark brown eyes and dark brown hair that shows up reddish when under the sun) or am I a cool winter (simply because I don’t look good with colours that are too warm or rusty) or am I a clear winter (simply because I have fair skin with pink/reddish undertone plus purplish blue veins when checked under the sun plus the possibility of being able to wear bright and bold colours since my overall colouring can handle these colours)? Hhmmmm ??. Thank you! ??❤??.

  48. Hi Agnes, I am reallly confused about my color type, the quiz says I am a soft summer. However other quizzes also suggested light or cool summer. Personally, I think light would fit quite well but I don't look that good in yellow or light greens and I do get quite tanned and do not get sunburnt easily.. Can you please help me to find out?
    (BTW I really love your site, there are so many great tips and color palettes!)

  49. Hi LinLin, thanks for trying out my quiz.
    Your description sounds like you're one of the Soft seasons and according to the colors that suit you, rather a Soft Summer. To be more certain, send me a couple of photos about your make-up free face to 30somethingurbangirl@gmail.com I will check your color palette.

  50. Great quiz! However, didn't really help me … I am so confused. I have very fair skin with yellowy undertone (meaning NOT pink), but it is not warm either. I have few freckles, medium-brown hair with golden highlights and deep blue eyes with yellow spots around pupil. Seems like warm, right? Yet peachy corals dont suit me. Light gray and silver doest suit me. Tan doesn't suit me. But what does suit me are warm berry colors, burgundy, navy, light blue, dark green, dark gray. Which season am I? I really would like to learn what other colors suit me but am so confused, because neither warm neither cool look good on me ..

  51. Hi Agnes, thank you for the test – I liked it, but unfortunatelly it did not solved my "problem" to find out wheather I am soft muted summer or soft or deep autumn – the test told me: soft summer and soft autumn … ? May I send you two photos to find out? (I'm trying to solve it for about a year or so… beeing curious what`s going on 🙂 Wish you lovely days, Tereza

  52. I have dark brown (almost black) hair with golden undertones, very pale skin with yellow undertone and hazel eyes. What does that make me, warm autumn or deep autumn? I think I am deep autumn, but my almost white pale skin confuses me 🙁

  53. After restless research on the internet, and contemplating on giving my last money on color analysis, I think I analyzed myself and I am satisfied with it. I am a winter with secondary autumn, although confusing because I am not that deep and almost everywhere on the internet they call the type deep winter autumn. If you put that deep characteristic aside it fits like a glove. Second thing is my personality is completely winter with the secondary outgoing autumn, melancholic-choleric. Sometimes some people might look at first glance as an autumn like Eva Longoria, especially if they are ethnic but she is actually a spring, just look at her striking bright red-carpet appearances (this is also according to Jane Rhekas who has her own site http://expressingyourtruth.blogspot.rs/p/color-analysis.html). The test I find not so bad, and I am not surprised that I am a soft summer according to it. I think only that celebrities are very misleading because many of them are misdiagnosed here. Sorry

  54. I have light pink skin, freckles, neutral-ish undertones, light brown hair, and dark brown eyes. I feel like a mix of every season! How do I know for sure?

  55. Hello Juliet,
    thank you so much for taking my quiz.
    About your description you could be an Autumn woman and yes, navy is a kind of universal color that means every seasonal color women can wear it well. Think about the doctors in the TV show Grey’s Anatomy. The senior doctors wear that great navy colored clothes for surgeries and I think everybody looks great in them. So you will be a fabulous bridesmaid in a navy dress 🙂
    I suggest to try this link for retaking the quiz:
    http://www.quibblo.com/quiz/jdxZILc/FREE-Quiz-What-is-your-Seasonal-Color-Palette
    I hope it will work. Under the title you should see a “Re-take” option.

  56. Hi, I just took quiz – it told me Warm Autumn – which is what I had figured. I did do a professional colour analysis 10 years ago (brown eyes, auburn hair) – but she only listed the 4 seasons, I didn't know of these combo/blended individual palettes – so that you're actually one of 12 palettes (not just 4). I was also told teal was the only blue I could wear – but you're suggesting navy? I'll be a navy bridesmaid in May – so that will come in handy if true! Now that I've done this quiz I can't seem to do it again – I wanted to figure out what my 3 year old is (I took her into the garden this afternoon and draped my gold and silver jewellery over her, she loved it!) – she is very blonde and blue eyed so and looks good in pale lemon and blues and I'm pretty sure the silver looked better so I'm thinking Light Summer . . . but can't get the Quiz to 'start again'.

  57. Hello,
    I’m sorry that you weren’t satisfied with my test.

    As the description says, this is a free and easy quiz to give you a direction/idea about your POSSIBLE color palette. It’s not a professional color analysis and doesn’t want to be!

    In the first part, I ask questions about the color of your eyes, skin tone and hair and then one question about your flattering lipstick color and your best colors. As a color and image consultant, I know that people can like and wear a color that doesn’t suit them but in my experience many women feel their right colors even thought they don’t brave enough to wear them.

    I think using celebrities as examples are important to give you a visual idea and/or face for each seasonal color palettes. I’m sure if someone has dark hair with dark brown eyes won’t choose an actress to her look alike with blonde hair and light blue eyes even if she likes that person.

    I choose to use the categories like “cool and deep” to help you understand you colors a lead you a little bit.
    If you are interested to find your EXACT seasonal color palette I recommend to order my professional color analysis.

  58. sigh. This quiz doesn't really lead you to your true color type. Instead of asking what colors you "like" it should ask what colors you get compliments on! Many MANY people "like" colors that are horrible on them and do not reflect their true season.

    Also, asking them who their celebrity look alike is just isn't a great idea. People like to think they look like someone they aren't.

    This quiz is more for people who pretty much know their color season.

    I would recommend NOT putting the answer in the question: ie: "if you choose Cool and Deep then answer this one"

  59. Hi Tara,
    under the Try it now, you will like it! text it should appear and load after a few seconds -now it works for me… Maybe you will need to add an extension to your browser like flash player. And you could try to load it on your computer, it might not appear on tablet or mobile phone. I hope you can try it soon.
