My Season Palette

Colors for
neutral undertones.

If both warm and cool colors seem comfortable, test depth and clarity next. Neutral preferences often sit between neighboring families.

A useful comparison

Keep temperature moderate while testing a softer against a clearer color. Then compare light, medium and deep shades.

One trait does not establish a season. Change temperature, depth and clarity separately, and keep the combinations you enjoy.

Use a consistent fabric test

Palettes to explore

Light Spring

Tiffany Blue#7AEED0
Very Light Brown#DAB894
Light Moss Green#94BC6E
Greyblue 2#65ADBE

Peach, pale aqua and tender greens bring color without adding heaviness. Keep the overall impression light and let warm details do the work.

Light Summer

Pale Aqua#A8EFDA
Pale Teal 3#80D7CF
Powder Pink 2#EBA0C7
Greyish Teal 2#7EB5B7

Powder blue, pale rose and light lavender form gentle combinations. Favor coolness without turning every outfit icy or highly contrasted.

Soft Autumn

Pale Rose#E7B1A7
Pinkish Grey 2#C7A29F
Green Grey#849577
Slate Green 3#687B66

Gentle olive, warm taupe and rose clay share a softened warmth. Choose colors with a little gray or brown in them, and let neighboring shades blend easily.

Soft Summer

Robin's Egg Blue#77CAD2
Faded Blue#72A2CB
Dusty Teal#509084
Dusky Purple 2#895B78

Dusty rose, blue-gray and muted pine share a quiet, cool cast. Layer neighboring depths so one very bright piece does not steal all the attention.

Deep Autumn

Light Forest Green#489356
Pinkish Brown 2#9B605D
Cocoa 2#816143
Dark Olive Green#41511B

Espresso, dark olive and deep warm teal supply depth without the icy edge of Winter. Dark combinations can be rich while keeping their warmth.

Deep Winter

French Blue#7478BC
Deep Lavender#8952A9
Red Violet#9A1D77
Plum#682349

Blackened berry, deep blue and cool emerald make substantial anchors. A pale cool detail can add definition without turning the whole outfit pastel.

Bright Spring

Apple#83DC53
Desert#DBA94A
Orange Pink#F56649
Rusty Orange#D45E20

Bright coral, turquoise and crisp green make color feel deliberate. Try a distinct accent against a clean neutral rather than softening every shade.

Bright Winter

Bubblegum Pink#FC88E0
Amethyst#B567D2
Pale Magenta 2#C65898
Purply#854BC0

Vivid pink, brilliant blue and clear emerald bring sharp color definition. Give a bright accent a quiet background instead of muting the accent itself.

Keep the whole picture

Hair dye, cosmetic coverage and the surrounding clothes can change the balance of a look. The palette examples give you distinct directions to test; they do not restrict people with a shared feature to one family.
