The seasons were created to match the different skin tones of individuals to a palette of colors. Each season consists of different colors that should harmonize with your skin tone and overall complexion. The seasons also takes into account your level of contrast, how dark and light your natural coloring appears. Using skin tone and contrast the seasons technique is a good method for finding colors that should look good on you. Many women find the season method a bit confusing and subjective. There can be multiple sub-seasons for each of the 4 main seasons (sometimes over 20) that have a slightly different palette of colors. Many women find that they can wear colors from many different seasons. It's a good method for getting a general idea of your best colors, but we always knew there was a better way. Scroll down to see the 4 mains seasons and a description of each.
Winter is a cool season that contains colors that are highly saturated (contain lots of color) and also colors that are shaded (black added) and icy or tinted (white added). Some examples of colors in winter are dark red and the bluest of blues. Individuals who look good in winter colors typically have a fair skin tone and natural coloring with high contrast.
Spring is a warm season that contains colors with yellow and orange and most of the pastel colors. Spring seasons can be saturated and tinted depending on the sub-season. Many of the colors in Spring are represented by the flowers that bloom this time of the year. Spring Individuals typically have some warmth in their skin with a low contrast complexion.
Summer is the other cool season. It contains versions of cool greens, light blues, purples and cool reds (magentas). Summer colors are not as saturated as the Winter season. The colors of Summer are best represented by the colors of the ocean blue-green. Individuals that look good in Summer colors are typically low to medium contrast and have cooler undertones in their skin.
Autumn is the other warm season. This season contains warm colors that are shaded (black added). The colors of Autumn are represented during the fall foliage. The colors of autumn include yellow, green, orange and other dark warm colors. Individuals that look good in autumn colors have warm skin tones and are higher contrast than Springs.
The Seasons are a great starting point for color analysis, but unfortunately there are some problems. Individuals are very unique. We all have slightly different natural colors. The Seasons give a general idea of what colors should look good, but it's a "one size fits all" system. Even using the Seasons, it can still be difficult to know why you might fit into a particular season.
