When you ask yourself, ‘what is my colour palette?’ You might find that you fall between two categories. In general, I would suggest you go for the category in which you fit best. Alongside deciding if you are Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, you also want to consider the overall depth of colour. There are three other areas you want to look at. 

• Your overall tone from warm to cool – Look at your overall colouring. Do you have predominantly warm tones to your skin and hair or cool? If it is warm, you could be a Warm Spring or Warm Autumn (choose yellow or red based colours). If it is cool, you could be a Cool Summer or Cool Winter (choose cool pink or blue-based colours. 

• The depth of colour from pale to dark – Next, look at a depth of your overall colour. Someone with porcelain skin and blonde hair would be a Light Summer or Light Spring (choose pastels and avoid too many deep colours). Alternatively, Someone with dark hair and mid to dark skin could be a Deep Autumn or a Deep Winter (choose deep rich colours and minimal pastels). 

• The depth of contrast between your hair, skin and eyes – Finally, look at the difference in shade between your hair, eyes and skin. This is where the idea of the black and white photo can come in handy. If there is a clear difference between the colour of your hair and skin and often your eyes are your best feature, then you could be a Clear Winter or a Clear Spring (choose outfits with high contrast like black and white, or navy and cream). Alternatively, if there is little contrast between the shade of your hair and skin, then you could be a Soft Summer or a Soft Winter (choose minimal contrast between colours and go for a more tone on tone look).
