Think you’ve figured out your color season? You might be making this common mistake…
If you’ve ever tried to guess your color season but something still feels off, you’re not alone. Many people attempt to self-diagnose their season, only to find that certain "right" colors still don’t feel quite right.
And there’s one big reason why this happens…
The #1 Mistake: Focusing Too Much on Hair & Eye Color
Most people assume that their hair and eye color determine their season. You might think:
✔ “I have brown eyes, so I must be an Autumn.”
✔ “I have ash-blonde hair, so I must be a Summer.”
✔ “I have dark features, so I must be a Winter.”
Sounds logical, right? Well… not exactly.
While hair and eye color can offer clues, they aren’t the most reliable way to determine your season. Your skin’s undertone, depth, and contrast level play a much bigger role in which colors truly suit you best.
Why This Mistake Leads to the Wrong Season
Relying only on hair and eye color can be misleading because:
❌ Hair color changes over time (natural lightening, graying, or dyeing).
❌ Some eye colors are deceiving—for example, light blue eyes can appear "cool," but some belong to warm-toned Springs!
❌ Contrast levels matter—it’s not just about whether your features are light or dark, but how much they stand out against each other.
That’s why two people with brown hair and brown eyes could have completely different color seasons!
How to Avoid This Mistake & Find Your True Season
Instead of just looking at your hair and eyes, here’s what you should focus on:
✅ Undertone First: Are your skin undertones warm, cool, or neutral? This determines half the equation in color analysis.
✅ Contrast Level: Do your features blend together (low contrast), or do they stand out (high contrast)? This helps refine which shades look best.
✅ Color Clarity: Do softer, muted shades flatter you, or do you look best in bold, crisp colors?
The Power of Professional Color Analysis
If you’ve tried guessing your season and still feel uncertain, this is exactly why professional color analysis exists!
When I work with clients, I use a tested method that accounts for undertone, contrast, and color clarity—not just hair and eye color. That’s why my clients walk away with a palette that actually works for them (no more guessing!).
