How to know your Color Season - in 3 Easy Fast Steps!

If you want to know once and for all what your Color Season is and clear all the doubts you may have, you are in the right place, because I am going to explain you how to do your own color test, step by step, in a way that will really help you

First, I invite you to forget all the concepts you have learned about Color Analysis, since it is very likely that the difficulties you face when trying to find out your Color Season come from misconceptions you have learned before.

This way, you will be able to start over and understand the Color Seasons theory from scratch.

Let's get started!

The Color Season analysis consists of three steps in which you will evaluate your face for hue, value and chroma.

If you're wondering what each of these parameters means, I'll explain them in a simple way:

Hue determines whether your face is warmer or cooler. One of these two values will prevail, indicating whether you are warm or cool.

The value is the parameter that indicates if you are dark or light.

The chroma is the value that will tell you whether your appearance is soft (dull) or bright (bright colors).

By evaluating these parameters, you will get dominant values that will define which of the 20 Color Seasons (Why 20 Color Season instead of 12 Color Season? Look here) you belong to:

Light Spring, Warm Spring, Bright Spring, Bright Winter, Cool Winter, Dark Winter, Dark Autumn, Warm Autumn, Soft Autumn, Soft Summer, Cool Summer, Light Summer, Dark Spring, Soft Winter, Light Autumn, Dark Summer. + Light Winter, Bright Autumn, Bright Summer, Soft Spring.

Next, I'm going to explain how to take the quiz using my Canva templates for take the Color Season test that you can enjoy here .

Step 1 in Color Analysis!

Once you open the Color Analysis Kit, click on the link to the Warm or Cool template. Add your photos and adjust them to the oval, making sure your hair looks inside the oval.

Here you can determine if your hue is warm or cool. See how your whole face looks with the warm and cool colors.

If your face stands out more in the cool colors, it means you are warm, as your face would look very different from the background colors.

Likewise, if your face stands out more in the warm colors, it is because it looks too different from the cool colors, which indicates that you are warm.

Even though you may think you are neutral, you will always look a little worse in warm or cool colors. If you look more yellowish in the warm colors or if you notice more imperfections or dark circles under your eyes, it means you are cool.

Once you have completed this step, write down your result, either warm or cool.

Step 2 in Color Analysis!

Now let's determine if your face is dark or light. Remember that you can be somewhere in between, but you will always tend to be a little darker or a little lighter.

Here are 6 facial filters. Add your photo in each of them and you will see that it will appear in black and white.

Now you must choose the filter with which you stand out less. If it is the first one, it means you are light; if it is the second one, you are true; and if it is the third one, where you stand out the most, you are dark.

Step 3 in the Color Analysis!

The last step is one of the easiest: identify if you are soft or bright. Add your images in the chroma filters and check your result. If you blend more with the second filter, your result will be bright because you have more contrast between the elements of your face.

If, on the other hand, you stand out less in the first filter, it means that you are soft because the elements of your face contrast little with each other.

Finally, you will have obtained three results, one for each of the above steps. These results are combined to get your season color. Now, you only have to look for the combination of your results in the corresponding box. This way, you will know which of the 20 seasons you belong to.

Once you have done this, you can also add your photo to each of the filters of the palettes of each Color Season.

This will help you to see if you blend with the colors of the Color Season you have obtained. This means that you harmonize with your season and have obtained the correct result. Find the template on the store here.
