Color analysis

Ten questions about your hair, your skin and your eyes, answered in daylight rather than from a selfie. They place you at one of the twelve color seasons, and show you why.

Question 1 of 10

  1. In daylight, by a window, what color are the veins on the inside of your wrist?

    Vein color at the inner wrist

Nothing you answer leaves this page. No upload and no photograph: the scoring code is part of the page you already downloaded, and your answers stay in this browser tab. Disconnect your network after the page loads and the test still finishes.

What the ten questions measure

Three axes, and each question feeds exactly one of them. That is what makes a result traceable: every answer moves one axis by a known amount, and nothing else.

  • Undertone

    Cool against Warm

    • Vein color at the inner wrist
    • Skin response to gold versus silver
    • Face response to optic white versus cream
    • Skin behavior after sun exposure
  • Depth

    Light against Deep

    • Natural hair depth
    • Skin depth
    • Eye depth
  • Clarity

    Muted against Bright

    • Contrast between hair, skin and eyes
    • Clarity of the iris
    • Face response to saturated color

How the verdict is decided

In two stages, not one. First the family. Each axis that has a reading vouches for the two families that share its pole — warm speaks for Spring and Autumn, deep for Autumn and Winter, bright for Spring and Winter — and the family that collects the most evidence wins. An axis that came out near zero contributes almost nothing rather than flipping the answer.

Then the variant. Whichever of the three axes reads most extreme is the one that names you: depth most extreme makes you a Light or a Deep, clarity most extreme makes you a Soft or a Bright, and neither standing out makes you a True. Undertone never breaks that tie — everybody inside a family reads decisively warm or decisively cool, so at parity it says nothing about which member you are.

The twelve seasons

Every one of these is a full guide — palette with hex values, the colors that fight it, and six sections on how to wear it. They are free and they are not gated behind the test: if you already know your season, go straight to it.

Spring
