The seasonal color palettes system is a framework for identifying the colors that best complement an individual's natural coloring, including their skin tone, hair color, and eye color. It is based on the premise that certain colors can enhance or detract from a person's appearance, depending on their specific features.
The system typically categorizes individuals into one of four seasonal color types: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. Each seasonal type is then broken down into three sub-seasons which is associated with a specific color palette that includes a range of hues, shades, and tones that are most likely to flatter that individual's coloring. I will breakdown all the sun- seasons in there own posts. Â
Here is a brief overview of the color palettes for each main season:
- Spring: This color palette typically includes light, warm, and bright colors that have a yellow or golden undertone. Examples include peach, coral, light green, and golden yellow.
- Summer: This color palette typically includes cool, soft, and muted colors that have a blue undertone. Examples include lavender, dusty pink, light blue, and soft gray.
- Autumn: This color palette typically includes warm, rich, and earthy colors that have a yellow or orange undertone. Examples include olive green, burnt orange, deep red, and chocolate brown.
- Winter: This color palette typically includes cool, bright, and clear colors that have a blue undertone. Examples include royal blue, emerald green, bright red, and fuchsia.
To determine your seasonal color type, you may consult with a color consultant or use online tools that ask you to provide information about your skin tone, hair color, and eye color. Once you know your seasonal type, you can use the corresponding color palette as a guide when selecting clothing, makeup, and accessories to enhance your natural coloring and create a cohesive look.
