autumn
no
yes!
Earth tones make you
glow if you are an
autumn. Olive, golden
brown, mustard and
orange work well for
your warm skin, eyes
and hair. You should
avoid pastels and clear,
bright shades though.
Look at your color
palette on the left to find
which tones are right for
you. Deep olive, navy
and brown work in place
of black.

winter
You are the only season
that can truly wear black
and white. Because
of the high contrast
between your hair and
skin, you also look
great in rich, deep jewel
tones such as sapphire
blue, emerald green,
ruby red and amethyst
purple. Check out your
palette of ideal colors on
the right, and remember
the tones you are drawn
to when you go shopping.

spring
no

A56+%;4)B",
If you’re spring, think
bright and warm – aqua,
yellow, green and
salmon. Wear warm
neutrals such as khaki,
stone and off-white, and
avoid black and white.
As your palette to the left
shows, you can wear
blues, greens and reds
as long as they are bright
and sunny and not too
deep and rich looking
(that’s for winter). Black
is not great on you so try
navy instead.

summer
If you have a low level
of contrast between your
cool-toned skin, eyes and
hair, wear light, quiet
colors such as blue, gray
and rose as seen on your
color palette on the right.
If you have cool, brown
hair and cool, light skin
like Sarah Jessica Parker,
you can also wear the
brighter colors on the
right. Your black should
be navy or charcoal.
