in the color space

Personal color isn't about preference — it's the science of harmony. Find the colors that resonate with your unique skin, eyes, and hair in the 3D color space of hue, value, and chroma.

01 — Theory

Three Axes of Color

Every color is defined by three properties: hue, value, and chroma. Personal color analysis finds the harmonious zone for you on this coordinate system.

AXIS 1

Hue

The type of color itself — red, yellow, blue. Whether your undertone leans yellow (warm) or blue (cool) is the primary criterion.

AXIS 2

Value

How light or dark a color is. If light colors flatter you, you're in the Light family; if deep colors bring out your features, you're in the Deep family.

AXIS 3

Chroma

How vivid or muted a color is. If clear colors suit you, you're Bright; if greyed-out tones work better, you're Muted.

02 — 4 Season System

4-Season Color System

Based on the combination of your skin, hair, and eye colors, you belong to one of four color seasons.

SPRING WARM

Yellow-based undertone with high value and high chroma. Clear, vibrant colors add radiance to your face.

Colors to Avoid

How to Use the Personal Color Test

In Korea, personal color analysis is part of everyday beauty culture — and it has become a must-do for visitors, with Seoul studios typically charging around $80–160 for an in-person draping session. This test brings the same Korean season-and-tone framework to your browser for free, so you can find your palette before you book (or instead of booking).

This free personal color analysis determines your color season — Spring Warm, Summer Cool, Autumn Warm, or Winter Cool. Answer a series of questions about your skin undertone, hair color, and how certain colors look against your complexion. The test then reveals your season along with your best and worst color palettes.

Your result includes a detailed breakdown of your tone (warm or cool), value (light or deep), and chroma (clear or muted). You also get a curated palette of your best colors, colors to avoid, keywords describing your style, accessory recommendations, and a 12-tone sub-season chart showing all 12 personal color types.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a personal color season?

Personal color seasons divide people into four groups — Spring Warm, Summer Cool, Autumn Warm, and Winter Cool — based on skin undertone, the value (lightness or depth), and chroma (clarity or mutedness) of their natural coloring. Each season has a palette of colors that harmonize best with that person.

How accurate is this test?

This is a quick self-assessment reference tool. Results may vary depending on your lighting conditions and screen color accuracy. For a definitive analysis, professional in-person draping is recommended.

What is the 12-tone system?

The 12-tone system subdivides the four seasons into three sub-types each (e.g., Light Spring, True Spring, Bright Spring), giving 12 total types. This provides more precise color recommendations than the basic 4-season system.
