Seasonal Color Analysis (SCA) is based on the concept that harmonious colors enhance the individual's natural beauty.

While color has been studied for centuries, there are many colorists in the last 100 years who've studied the relationship between color and human beings.

The concept of seasonal color takes the coloring and undertones of your skin, eyes, and hair to determine your season.

The seasonal aspect relates to placing all humans into one of four segments, named after the seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter.

Going a step further, each season is divided into three sub-seasons based on your hue (warm - cool - neutral undertone), value (the lightness or darkness of a color), and chroma (the saturation or brilliance of a color).

The results from your analysis will place you in one of the twelve seasons and formulates the best color palette for you based on those factors.

what is seasonal color analysis?

HUE

temperature of a color, such that warmer colors generally contain more yellow and cooler colors are bluer

value

position of a color on a light to dark scale - or how it might appear in black and white

CHROMA

how much gray is visible along with the pigment - high chroma colors contain very little or no visible gray, making them brighter/clearer

the theory behind our color analysis

what color season am I?

When studying your appearance you want to determine your dominant and secondary characteristic to see which of the 12 seasons you fall into.

Your coloring will sit on one of the extreme ends of hue, value, or chroma which becomes your dominant color aspect.

The traits we use inside our COLORCODE Consult are warm, cool, light, dark, soft or bright.

Your secondary aspect will be a neutral/warm or neutral/cool hue, or a medium/soft or medium/bright chroma.
