Frequently asked questions
What does this test determine?
It compares natural hair, eye and skin coloring with four color parameters: temperature, value, chroma and contrast. This combination points to one of 12 seasonal color types.
Why does the test use images?
Color type is easier to understand through visual comparison, so the questions include examples of eyes, hair, skin undertone, veins, freckles, contrast and fabrics.
How should I take the test?
Use daylight and focus on your usual appearance. If hair color or makeup changes the impression, answer according to what is closest to your natural base.
Can the result differ from a stylist consultation?
Yes. An online test cannot compare real fabric drapes beside your face, so use the result as a strong starting point.
Do I have to follow the palette strictly?
No. Keep the best shades near your face and move difficult colors into shoes, bags, lower garments or small accents.
Instructions
Choose the options closest to your natural coloring in daylight. It is best to answer without strong makeup, colored lenses or artificial lighting. If two answers feel possible, choose the one that most often matches your everyday appearance.
