🌈 Which colors suit me?

The simple explanation of color analysis
Do you ever wonder why one color makes you glow while another makes you look a bit dull? It all comes down to which colors suit you and your color analysis . The right shades make your face look fresher, your skin tone more even, and your radiance stronger.

In this blog post, I'll explain in a simple and down-to-earth way how you can discover which colors suit you best, without having to know all kinds of complicated theory.

What is color analysis?
Color analysis is about the balance between:
• the undertone of your skin
• your hair color
• your eye color
Together, they determine whether cool or warm tones—or soft or bright colors—suit you best. Your color type hardly changes, even if you tan or dye your hair.

The four color types (the seasons)
Color analysis is often divided into four seasons . That sounds complicated, but it's actually quite logical.

Spring – warm, light and fresh
Spring types often have:
• warm undertone
• light/warm hair colors (blonde, copper, light brown)
• fresh eye colors (blue, green, hazel)
Pairs well with : warm pastel, coral, soft green, cream, camel.

Summer – cool, soft and grayed
Summer types often have:
• cool undertone
• ash blonde or ash brown hair
• soft eyes (gray-blue, soft green)
Goes well with : mauve, denim, old pink, light gray, pastel blue.

Autumn – warm, deep and earthy
Autumn types often have:
• warm undertone
• red tones, copper or warm brown hair
• green or brown eyes
Goes well with : rust, ochre, moss green, terracotta, warm brown.

Winter – cool, dark and rich in contrast
Winter types often have:
• cool undertone
• dark hair
• intense eye colors
Matches well : black, bright white, cobalt, emerald, fuchsia.

How do you discover which colors suit you?
Good news: you don't need a professional session to get an idea of ​​your color type.
Try this:
1. Test with jewelry
• Does gold look better on you? → warm (spring/autumn)
• Does silver suit you better? → cool (summer/winter)

2. Look at your face in different colors
Pack clothes in white, black, cream, taupe, bright and grayish.
Take care:
• eyes (are they getting brighter?)
• skin (will it become more even?)
• facial lines (softer or harder?)
You'll see the difference faster than you think.

3. Use basics as a test color
Examples that reveal a lot are:
white – cream – taupe – black – olive green – pastel.
