how to find my color palette

If you get tired of not knowing what your color palette season is because you have gotten lost in millions of information and yet you still don't know what your season is because of how difficult it is to explain the color palette then you have to read this article .

Multiple people who have asked me to review their color season have had these issues when it comes to knowing their color palette.

And it is that to know your color palette you have to have a very clear technique and then have a very good eye to differentiate the colors of your hair, skin and eyes because otherwise you will get confused.

Having a good eye that knows how to differentiate colors is something that is usually obtained by people who work with colors on a daily basis or even people who are born with this ability.

However, I will explain in a simple way what your color palette is here in this article.

How to know what my color palette is

If I tell you to wear gold and silver accessories to know which ones look best on you, you probably won't know which ones look best on you because your eyes aren't developed. You can tell me that gold looks good on you simply because it highlights the yellow of your face, which is a cold skin so it will make you have a less healthy and illuminated face.

That's why I don't want you to tell me the color of your veins either. If you use fabrics to know if an orange or blue towel suits you better.

I want to explain the color palette in a simpler way. And it is that you must agree on any of these characteristics that I have extracted by calculating the color season of several people over time:

seasons personal color palette
  • If you have golden blonde or red hair (orange not red) you are definitely spring season.

  • If you have dark hair in one color, and skin without freckles or blemishes, you're winter for sure.

  • If you have dark, brown, or ash blonde hair and skin with freckles or moles then you are the summer color season.

  • If you have brown hair and warm skin, as a general rule, you will be autumn colorimetric season.

The idea you have to get is that in general, if you are from a northern country, you are going to be the summer season. If you are from a Spanish-speaking country, then you are going to be the winter season or fall.

Very few people are spring season. In general it is difficult to find people who are redheaded and this helps most people to be Autumn, Winter or Summer.

Alternatives to know what my seasonal color is

Although I know that it will be difficult for you to know your color palette if you cannot fully distinguish the colors, I want to tell you how specialists normally differentiate what your color palette is.

As a general rule, not all professionals are very accurate with the way they analyze the color palette of their clients, and it is because they are not well trained or they are not clear about the concepts and confuse terms so they finally give a wrong result to your customers.

I realized when throughout the years of studying the color palette I saw how a stylist recommended a person to wear the same hair color as their face tone, or that the different color palettes that exist on the Internet they are not correlated with each other, while the color palette wheel must be correlated because that is what its logic is all about, if not the stylists advise you with their own imagination and not technique.

That is why to know your color palette I recommend you go to a stylist who does have an analysis technique, either physical or online.

There are two ways to know your seasonal color:

  • Using fabrics: You can use different fabrics. First a warm one (orange or gold) and then a cool one (gray, blue) to rule out hot seasons (spring, fall) or cold seasons (summer, winter).

    Once this is done, you have to see if within the seasons that you have not ruled out (cold or warm) their colors, which mostly vary in intensity, suit you. Hence the need to have a good eye to discover the moment when your face stands out luminously.

  • Do my home test seasonal color analysis: I have been studying the subject of color analysis for a long time and I have developed a test that you can enjoy here with which you can fill in your test and check it with the swatches filters templates for the face and be very sure which season you are.

    Here's how this simple test works. It's a super simple but super effective test with results included:

  • Discover with a photo: There is a technique that I cannot say is easier than using fabrics to know your color season. This method is to calculate with a table the color characteristics of your skin, hair and eyes.

    However, it is a technique that is best developed only by stylist professionals because it can make it quite difficult to know what your season is and make it more difficult because it requires extra experience.

In other articles I will continue to explain everything you need to know about the world of color analysis so that you have an even clearer understanding of your seasonal color.
