What Colors Look Good on Me? Find Your Palette

It is not taste, and it is not a trend. Three measurable things decide which colors suit you. Learn them below, run the free quiz, then see the palette that matches.

The Three Things That Decide It

Every palette in the twelve-season system is one combination of these three. Place yourself on each and you have your answer.

Undertone

Warm or cool?

The constant cast beneath your skin. Warm skin carries gold and peach, cool skin carries pink and blue. This decides half of your palette on its own, and it never changes.

Take the undertone test

Depth

Light or deep?

How light or dark your colouring is overall, taken across skin, hair and eyes together. Light colouring is overwhelmed by heavy shades; deep colouring makes pale ones disappear.

See all twelve types

Clarity

Bright or muted?

Whether your features are vivid and high-contrast or blended and soft. Bright colouring can carry pure, saturated colour. Muted colouring looks better in shades with a little grey in them.

🌟 Tips

  • Look for the color that melts into your skin — not one that sits 'on top' of it
  • If silver looks fresh and glowy, you may be cool; if gold looks warm and radiant, you may be warm
  • Neutral undertones often look good in both but not 'amazing' in either
  • Check your neck and jawline — the undertone is more visible there than on cheeks

💡 Having trouble deciding?

  • If both gold and silver look okay but neither is perfect, you might be neutral
  • Greenish veins usually mean warm; bluish or purplish veins lean cool
  • Take off makeup, use natural daylight, and try again — foundation and lighting can trick the eye

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what colors look good on me?
Three things decide it: your undertone (warm or cool), your depth (how light or dark your colouring is), and your clarity (how vivid or muted it is). Undertone narrows twelve palettes to about six, and depth and clarity settle the rest. The fastest reliable way to place all three is a photo, because judging your own colouring in a mirror is genuinely hard.
What colors should I avoid?
The ones on the wrong side of your undertone line, and the ones far from your natural depth. A cool person in warm mustard looks sallow; a light person in heavy black looks drained. Nothing is banned outright, but colours from the wrong list need to sit away from your face, below the waist or as an accessory.
Can I wear black if it is not in my palette?
Yes, just not right under your chin. Black is a Winter neutral and it overwhelms light or muted colouring, but it works perfectly well as trousers, a skirt or a bag. If you love black near your face, break it with a scarf or a collar in one of your own shades.
Do the colors that suit me change over time?
Your undertone does not change, so your palette does not either. What shifts is your depth and contrast: grey hair, a tan, or a dye job can move which shades inside your palette flatter you most. The palette stays; the emphasis moves.
Is this the same as a color season?
Yes. "What colors look good on me" and "what is my color season" are the same question asked two ways. The season is just the name for the group of people who share an undertone, a depth and a clarity level, and therefore share a palette.
