Your undertone test result
Your Undertone: Neutral
Your skin balances warm and cool, with neither gold nor pink clearly in charge. Mid-strength colors that are not too yellow or too blue suit you best.
Soft White · Greige · Dusty Rose · Jade · Soft Teal · Medium Blue · Soft Red · Taupe
You have a neutral undertone. When you compare gold and silver, cream and white, or coral and berry, the difference on your face is small.
You have a wide range, though extremes can let you down. Balanced, slightly softened colors are your easiest wins.
Key traits
- Your wrist shows a blend of blue and green veins, and neither color wins.
- Gold and silver both look fine, so you choose metals by outfit.
- In summer you may burn lightly, then tan to soft beige.
- Against white paper, your skin looks beige rather than clearly pink or golden.
What to wear and try
- Build outfits around soft white, stone, taupe and greige.
- Try jade, dusty rose, soft teal and medium blue as main colors.
- Mix metals freely, or pick rose gold, which sits between yellow and white.
- Search for foundation marked N or neutral, then compare it with the shades either side.
- Wear rosy nude, mauve-pink, soft red and muted coral on your lips.
- If a bold color feels loud, choose its dustier version.

Frequently asked questions
Repeat the tests on two different days by a window in indirect daylight, with clean skin. If gold and silver still look equally good and your veins stay mixed, you are likely neutral. If one side wins every time, you may lean warm or cool.
Many do. A neutral-warm person looks slightly better in cream and gold. A neutral-cool person looks slightly better in white and silver. Notice which side wins, even by a little, and let your wardrobe and makeup lean that way while you skip the extremes.
Neutral skin often lands in the softer or lighter seasons: Soft Autumn, Soft Summer, Light Spring or Light Summer. These palettes avoid both strong gold and strong blue. Your depth and contrast decide which one, so take the color analysis quiz next to narrow it down.
Ranges often skew warm or cool, and neutral shades can be thin on the shelf. Swatch three shades in a line on your jaw: one neutral, one a touch warmer and one a touch cooler. Check them in daylight after ten minutes.
