The index12 seasons · 4 families

Twelve seasons. One is yours.

Seasonal colour analysis sorts people by three things: undertone (warm or cool), value (light or deep) and chroma (soft or bright). Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter each split into three, such as Soft Autumn or Bright Winter. Every season below has its full palette, with names and hex codes: the 12 season color analysis system, one page each.

Opposite seasons

Her best is his worst

Each season has an opposite: its best colours are the opposite's colours to keep away from the face, and the other way round.
