The 12-season color analysis system is the most precise method for identifying your best colors. Instead of 4 broad categories, it defines 12 distinct seasonal types based on the warmth, depth, and clarity of your natural coloring — giving you a palette that truly flatters you.
Discover My Season — Free AI AnalysisWarm or cool? Your undertone determines whether golden or silvery hues are most flattering. Warm seasons (Spring, Autumn) suit warm-toned colors; cool seasons (Summer, Winter) suit cool-toned colors.
Light or deep? Your overall coloring depth — from very fair to very dark — determines whether you wear light, medium, or deep shades best. Wearing colors that match your depth creates natural harmony.
Clear or muted? If your features are vivid and high-contrast, bright saturated colors suit you. If your coloring is soft and blended, you need more muted, dusty tones to avoid looking washed out.
Each of the four parent seasons contains three subtypes. Explore each season's palette, attributes, and unique characteristics below.
Warm, light, and clear coloring

Each is a subtype of the 4 classic seasons, refined by depth and clarity of your natural coloring.
The 4-season system only accounts for warm vs. cool undertones. The 12-season system adds depth (light, medium, deep) and clarity (clear, muted, soft) dimensions, producing 12 precise profiles with palettes that far better match your specific coloring. A Light Spring and a Deep Autumn are both "warm" — but they need completely different colors.
Your season is determined by your warmth (warm or cool undertone), depth (how light or deep your overall coloring is), and clarity (whether your features are vivid or muted). Use our free AI color analysis to upload your photo and get your season identified automatically in seconds.
Bright Winter and Bright Spring are considered among the rarest seasons, as they require both a strong undertone AND very high clarity — vivid, high-contrast features. True Winter is also less common. The most broadly represented seasons tend to be Soft Summer, True Autumn, and Soft Autumn.
