Intro to Color Analysis, Palettes and Emotions

Have you ever noticed specific colors seem to make your skin glow while others leave you feeling washed out? This phenomenon is rooted in the science of color analysis, which categorizes individuals into different "seasons" based on their natural coloring (skin tone, hair, and eyes). By understanding your season, you can unlock a personalized color palette that enhances your natural beauty and creates a harmonious look.


The Four Seasons: A Quick Overview

Color analysis typically identifies four main seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each season has distinct characteristics, with variations in:


  • Skin tone: Warm, cool, or neutral undertones.
  • Hair color: Warm, cool, or a combination.
  • Eye color: Warm, cool, or bright.


Understanding your season's unique characteristics will equip you to make informed decisions about your wedding attire, makeup, and even event decor, ensuring everything complements your natural beauty and radiates confidence on your special day. Let's look at the seasons in more details:
