The 12 Color Seasons, With Every Palette

Four season families, twelve sub-seasons, 72 real swatches with their hex codes. Start with the family that sounds like you, then narrow down to the sub-season that actually matches your skin.

Personal colour analysis sorts colouring on three axes: undertone (warm or cool), value (light or deep) and chroma (bright or muted). The twelve seasons are simply the combinations that occur often enough to be worth naming. Whether you spell it color or colour, the system is the same one used by professional analysts.
