Colour season guide
Not sure where you fit? This guide is here to help you explore the 12 colour seasons and understand the differences between them. It isn’t a professional colour analysis, but it will help you browse with more confidence.
Start here
If you don’t know your season yet, start by exploring the broader colour qualities in the What is Colour Analysis? article below. You may find yourself drawn to warm, cool, soft, bright, light or deep palettes before narrowing things down further.
Explore by colour direction
If the full 12-season system feels overwhelming, start with the broad qualities that feel most familiar. From there, you can narrow down the seasons that may be worth exploring next.
Golden, sunlit, naturally warm tones (Warm Spring and Warm Autumn).
Blue-based, crisp, refined tones (Cool Summer and Cool Winter).
Fresh, airy, delicate tones (Light Summer and Light Spring).
Rich, intense, darker tones (Deep Autumn and Deep Winter).
Bright, vivid, high-contrast colours (Clear Spring and Clear Winter).
Muted, blended colour harmony (Soft Summer and Soft Autumn).
Compare seasons
If you’re torn between two palettes, comparing neighbouring seasons can be a much more useful next step than trying to force certainty too quickly.
Compare two neighbouring palettes if you’re drawn to warm colours but are unsure about how bright to go.
Compare two neighbouring palettes if you’re drawn to cool colours but need help understanding brightness.
For you if bright colours suit you, but you’re unsure whether they feel crisp or sunlit.
For you if light, airy colours feel right, but you’re unsure about warmth.
For you if deeper tones flatter you, but you’re choosing between inky and dramatic, or rich and earthy.
For you if you love muted colours, but aren’t sure if they lean warm or cool.
Browse all 12 seasons
Each season page introduces the palette, explains its characteristics, and links you through to shopping collections and related guidance.
Why this takes care
The 12-season system is subtle. While online guides can help you recognise patterns, a true colour analysis considers undertone, clarity, contrast, and how colours behave against your natural colouring in person. This page is designed to help you explore thoughtfully rather than overstate certainty.
