Step-by-step

How the color analysis quiz works

Answer a few quick questions about observable features — eyes, hair, skin tone, and natural contrast — then a selfie confirms your season.

What the quiz asks you

These checkpoints help us understand your undertone, contrast, and natural colouring before we suggest a seasonal palette.

  • What is your natural eye color?
  • How would you describe your natural hair color?
  • What best describes your skin tone?
  • How much contrast is there between your skin, hair, and eyes?

How we score it

Each answer adds weight toward warm vs cool and bright vs muted categories. Once you finish, we blend those signals with Palette Hunt's AI models to recommend the closest seasonal palette and favourite shades.

What is a Color Analysis Quiz?

A color analysis quiz is a short online test that estimates which seasonal color palette best matches your natural coloring. Palette Hunt's quiz looks at observable clues like eye color, natural hair color, skin depth, undertone, and contrast, then uses those signals to suggest whether you are closer to Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. The quiz is useful when you want a fast starting point before shopping, choosing makeup, changing hair color, or booking an in-person consultation. Because lighting, camera quality, and self-reported answers can affect any quiz result, Palette Hunt pairs the quiz with photo-based AI analysis for higher confidence. Together, the quiz and AI analysis help narrow your season, undertone, best clothing colors, and palette recommendations in a few minutes. It gives a clear next step without pretending a quiz alone can replace every professional draping session.

How Does Seasonal Color Analysis Work?

Each season has specific characteristics: Spring (warm and bright), Summer (cool and soft), Autumn (warm and deep), and Winter (cool and dramatic). This quiz evaluates your natural features to determine which seasonal palette complements you best.

The 4 Color Seasons at a Glance

Seasonal color analysis sorts every complexion into four seasonal color palettes. Each season groups the shades that share your undertone, value, and chroma:

Spring

Warm & bright — golden undertones with fresh, clear colors like coral, warm yellow, and turquoise.

Summer

Cool & soft — blue undertones with gentle, muted colors like powder blue, lavender, and dusty rose.

Autumn

Warm & deep — golden undertones with rich, earthy colors like rust, olive, camel, and mustard.

Winter

Cool & bright — blue undertones with high-contrast colors like sapphire, magenta, emerald, and true red.

How long does the color analysis quiz take?

How do I know if I'm warm or cool toned?
Check your wrist veins in natural light: blue/purple veins indicate cool undertones, green veins suggest warm undertones. Also, if gold jewelry looks better on you, you're likely warm-toned; if silver looks better, you're likely cool-toned.

Professional analysis with draping is more comprehensive, but our AI-powered quiz provides surprisingly accurate results for free. For most people, the quiz results align well with professional analysis and offer a great starting point.
What color season am I?
Your color season depends on three things: your undertone (warm or cool), your value (how light or dark your natural coloring is), and your chroma (bright or muted). The quiz walks you through observable signals — eye color, hair color, skin tone, and natural contrast — to estimate your season in about 3 minutes.
What is my color palette?
Your color palette is the set of roughly 30 shades that harmonize with your natural coloring — determined by your color season. Once the quiz places you in Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter, you get the palette for that season, and Palette Hunt's full AI photo analysis can refine it to one of the 16 sub-seasons for an even more precise set of colors.
How accurate is AI color analysis compared to in-person consultations?
AI-powered color analysis tools can reach a high degree of agreement with trained human consultants. Palette Hunt uses computer vision to analyze undertone, contrast, and color harmony from a single photo, then maps the result to the Sci\ART seasonal framework. Because it has been refined on a large library of analyses, it delivers consistent seasonal color typing—best used alongside, not as a wholesale replacement for, a professional drape if you want an expert second opinion.
What is seasonal color analysis and how does it work?
Seasonal color analysis is a method popularized by color consultant Carole Jackson in her 1980 bestseller "Color Me Beautiful" that categorizes people into Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter based on their natural coloring. Sci\ART consultant Kathryn Kalisz expanded it into the 16-season system. The method analyzes three key attributes: undertone (warm vs cool), value (light vs dark), and chroma (bright vs muted), and matches them to the palette that makes your skin, eyes, and hair look their most harmonious.
Is the color analysis quiz really free?
Yes, Palette Hunt's color analysis quiz is 100% free with no registration required. The quiz asks a short set of questions about your eye color, hair color, skin tone, and undertones to estimate your seasonal color type in a few minutes. For a more detailed result, Palette Hunt also offers an AI-powered photo analysis that provides a comprehensive palette with 30+ personalized color recommendations, styling tips, and color-coded wardrobe guidance.
