The Four Main Seasons

Many colour analysis systems groups people into four colour “seasons” rather than the full 12 used on Shop My Palette. You can explore the wider colour seasons here.

Spring family

Spring family

(warm and bright)

Fresh, clear, and energising. Spring colours feel lively and light, often suiting those who come alive in warmth with a sense of brightness or clarity.

Summer family

Summer family

(cool and soft)

Gentle, blended, and understated. Summer colours feel calm and harmonious, often suiting those who are flattered by cooler, more muted tones.

Autumn family

Autumn family

(warm and soft)

Rich, earthy, and mellow. Autumn colours feel grounded and natural — often suiting those who look their best in warmth with a softer, more muted finish.

Winter family

Winter family

(cool and bright)

Striking, crisp, and high-contrast. Winter colours feel bold and clear, often suiting those who shine in cooler tones with depth or intensity.
