Free Color Analysis Quiz — What Color Palette Am I?
Ten single-choice questions estimate your place among eighteen color seasons. You get an instant result with hex swatches, optional photo upload, and a link to your full palette guide — about two minutes, no signup.
The quiz uses weighted scoring (explained below): each answer adds points to likely seasons, and the highest total wins. For a manual check without the test, use the self-comparison guide or browse the season table further down this page.
Question 1 of 10
In natural daylight, what undertone shows on bare skin? (Works for fair through deep skin — focus on cast, not how light or dark you are.)
How the 10 questions map to your season
This is not a random personality quiz. Each answer adds weighted points to one or more of the eighteen color seasons . When you finish, the season with the highest total wins. Ties are rare; if you are close, open the two neighboring palette guides and compare swatches in daylight.
Optional photo upload does not change the score today — it is saved with your result so you can double-check undertone later. Your answers are stored locally in the browser when you complete the quiz.
1. Undertone (warm, cool, olive, or neutral)
Questions: In natural daylight, what undertone shows on bare skin · If you can see wrist veins in good light, what color are they · Near your face, which metal looks more harmonious on you…
Undertone is separate from depth — the quiz works for fair through deep skin. Warm, cool, and olive casts split Spring/Autumn from Summer/Winter; olive and neutral answers boost soft and in-between seasons. Veins and jewelry are hints only — especially on medium to deep skin.
2. Depth and natural coloring
Questions: Your natural hair color (before dye), on any texture — coily, curly, straight, or wavy: · Your natural eye color — any skin depth: · How does your skin usually respond to strong sun…
Light hair and eyes add weight to Light Spring and Light Summer; deep brown-black coloring pushes Deep Autumn, Deep Winter, and Deep Summer. Sun reaction helps confirm whether you burn easily (often lighter/cooler) or tan golden (often warmer).
3. Contrast between features
Questions: How much contrast is there between your hair, skin, and eyes · Which light neutral near your face looks cleanest — not dull, ashy, or sallow…
Contrast is not “light skin only.” Black hair on fair or wheat-toned skin (common in East and Southeast Asia) is often high contrast when skin reads lighter than hair or features have sharp edges. All-deep but layered coloring is usually medium. Soft, same-depth blending points to Soft Summer, Soft Autumn, and Soft Winter.
4. Saturation and lip color
Questions: Which lip color family looks most natural and flattering on you · How do vivid, saturated colors look on you…
If neon brights make you glow, weights shift to Bright Winter, Clear Spring, and Warm Spring. If muted or deep colors feel safer, Soft Summer, Soft Autumn, and Deep Autumn gain points. Lip families (peach vs rose vs bold red) fine-tune within your family.
