Free Color Analysis Online
Color analysis matches clothes, makeup and hair colors to your natural coloring: your skin's undertone, how light or deep you are, and how clear or soft your features look. Get it right and the same face looks brighter and more rested, with no extra effort.
Our free quiz takes about two minutes. It places you in one of 12 color seasons and gives you a full palette with names and hex codes, so you can shop with a list instead of guessing.
How color analysis works here
Answer 13 questions in daylight
Stand near a window, skip the makeup, and answer questions about your veins, skin, hair, eyes and how certain colors look on you.
We score three things
Each answer moves you along three scales: warm to cool, light to deep, and bright to soft. Your result is the season closest to where you land.

Light Spring

Bright first, warm second · also Clear SpringBright Spring is the clearest, most saturated spring season, with a warm lean and high contrast. Coral red, turquoise, bright yellow and grass green make you look awake. Dusty, greyed or heavy colors swallow your features.Light Summer
Light first, cool secondLight Summer is a pale, cool-leaning season with an airy, delicate feel. Powder blue, lavender, rose pink and soft mint look natural on you. Heavy darks and hot, saturated shades crowd your features.Cool Summer
Cool first, soft second · also True SummerCool Summer is the most blue-based of the summer seasons, with medium depth and gentle color. Slate blue, raspberry, soft navy and rose look natural on you. Orange and warm earth tones turn your skin sallow or ruddy.Soft Summer
Soft first, cool second · also Muted SummerSoft Summer is a cool, smoky season of greyed blues, roses and sea greens. Your colors look like a summer sea under cloud: grey-blue, dusty rose, muted teal and mauve. Bright, warm or very dark shades sit too loudly on your face.Soft Autumn
Soft first, warm second · also Muted AutumnSoft Autumn is a gentle, slightly warm season. Your best colors look as if they were mixed with a little grey: sage, camel, dusty coral and soft teal. Bright, icy or very dark shades tend to sit on top of you instead of blending in.Warm Autumn
Warm first, soft second · also True AutumnWarm Autumn is the most golden of the twelve seasons. Rust, mustard, pumpkin, olive and teal make your skin glow, while anything icy, pink-based or grey drains it. Think of spice jars and turning leaves, not sweets or snow.Deep Autumn

Color analysis is a way of finding the colors that harmonize with your natural skin, hair and eyes. It looks at three things: whether your coloring is warm or cool, light or deep, and bright or soft. The answer is usually given as one of 12 color seasons, such as Soft Autumn or Cool Winter.
Yes. Every quiz and guide on Palettora is free, and there is no sign-up. Your answers stay in your browser and are not stored or sent anywhere.
A quiz is a strong starting point, not a final verdict. It depends on how well you can judge your own coloring, and lighting changes everything. If your result feels wrong, read the runner-up season too, then hold colors from both palettes to your face in daylight and see which ones make your skin look clearer.
The 12 seasons split the classic four (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) into three each, based on your strongest trait. For example, Autumn becomes Soft Autumn, Warm Autumn and Deep Autumn. Each season has its own palette.
No. Your season is a guide, not a rule. Most people start by changing what sits closest to the face: tops, scarves, glasses frames and lipstick. That is where the right colors make the biggest difference.
