What is Your Color Season?

Ladies, have you taken a color analysis to find out what color season looks best on you? I have had the opportunity to share my color type for Dressing my truth with Carol Tuttle. Having a color analysis helps you find what colors look best on you because of your hair and skin type.

What is Color Season analysis?

Have you ever opened your closet to a rainbow array of colors and thought, well, it’s going to be black pants today?  We have all fallen victim to closet color overload, where our clothing feels incapable of being mixed and matched, and just doesn’t even seem to look good on us. Well, here’s where seasonal color analysis can help you out.

Seasonal color analysis is a system that takes our skin tone, natural eye tone, and hair color and formulates the best color palette for us based on those factors.  It considers our undertones (hue) and the value (light versus dark) of our skin, hair, and eyes and uses that to find the colors we look best in. Your skin tone, hair color, and eye color will fall into one of four main seasonal categories: winter, spring, summer, and autumn.

Do you remember Color Me Beautiful? My mother went to a color me beautiful party back in the 80s to have her color analysis done. She came home with swatches of fabrics because she was told she was the summer color season. Every time she went shopping, she carried those swatches in her purse to match them up with the clothes she was buying. Mom told me that as she has gotten older that she can wear the winter season color palette. As we age, we should experiment with different color seasons. What mom wore in the 80s for colors were too light for her in her 80s. Her skin tone and hair color changed all that.

Why is it Important to Know Your Color season?

Figuring out your color “season” will help you find colors that make you look and feel your best. Wearing the right color can have a drastic impact on your confidence and style. Wearing colors that work for your natural coloring will instantly lift your mood, your confidence, and your fashion sense. Your “season” is a tool to help figure out which clothes, makeup, and hair colors will most flatter you.

What I particularly love about the seasonal color analysis is that it utilizes your natural beauty, highlighting what makes you uniquely “you”.

I am a spring because of my hair, eye color, and skin tone. However, if you really want to break it down even further, there are actually 12 color seasons which I won’t get into in this post, but you can read it here.

This spring paisley top from Talbots caught my eye because it is the color that always looks good on me. Since I have taken my color analysis with Carol Tuttle or the free quiz from Color Me Beautiful, I purchase clothes with the colors I know will look good on me.
