This will then guide you to the colors that will look the most flattering on your unique features! After finding your color palette, take a look at our favorite looks for each of the different categories.

Winter

Dark Winter  People whose color palette is dark winter have cool undertones, high contrast between features, and look stunning in deep colors. Some go-to colors to highlight your features are cool-based jewel tones, such as black, cranberry red, and emerald green. Our celebrity pick for this color palette is Viola Davis in this sapphire blue gown that makes her features pop beautifully.  BdNoYrYnrHcdRevJinCrU5WSF j9 AWJ EL9RmmE4WiiP1sbi T0ZG2UlFqIVEz2v CyIqFIqgQiuNuz9ZUQTAdiLkPaA9 QJkdBjs3UqFbJCitzoXGVJ6Nr7Qnld8ph5VkLg btUFAL2NmHjDN8gY
True Winter  Those who have a True Winter color palette have a high contrast between their hair, skin, and eyes. They look best in cool and bright colors such as white and bright yellow. Our favorite sitcom actress, Zoey Deschanel is a prime example of this palette and our favorite look is her in this icy blue dress.  u5XHMdsQTjtS8keMFXFLGE nNyVSeJ3QczRCsPWJkJZyn3EDhwqOASC9hOIKxahvj7T Wgp6JdsJ7kyGggN2fki7vNkavix 2Ev7ltShszQOBZPqUYYUWhyLvt7ihwjHjBQNL75bJogThkfPDOeTXtI
Bright Winter  Bright winter colors are sharp, vibrant, and range from white to bright, dark red. This palette is very versatile! An iconic celebrity that we all know and love with this color palette is Courtney Cox, who has countless gorgeous red outfits in the show Friends.  2zjNEyOvKZ56KKVI Ta4JAi1t3kzndyswe6Ns6IrIvfD2d3dBlkR8kT5aETzQE4DGfhdOWUFeXsieFw65ZhV0IdvHfQYy TB82oVvs 7nYZLOJPRDsqgtL6UWHsDaHtPh1BIAoGW35PZ2b0GdWhfJ0Y

Spring

Bright Spring  Bright spring colors are vibrant and tend to be on the cooler side. Bright purple and a range of teal will make your features pop. Our favorite celebrity look tailored to this palette is Tessa Thompson in this stunning bright red ensemble! 54Az0ny7gOvmUIG0YqMOdjYbLGHtldePcEJpMBlpfzivc HoOgoGW5lCuwLrXlf6
True Spring  A true spring color palette is warm and bright, with golden undertones. Warm and saturated colors will be very flattering, such as hot pink and warm greens. Our favorite celebrity look for this palette is Jessica Chastain in this beautiful green dress! 
Light Spring People whose color palette is a “light spring” normally are warm toned and have a low level of contrast between their skin, hair, and eyes. Soft pastel colors will be your forté. Our favorite celebrity look in this color palette is Taylor Swift in her gorgeous warm, light pink dress. iT5rEoXkBL4OFU WAMQOIeleq0sqocO zho1 HA4BZ 2BX4RqxNQO1JxqxQDiEvAx2XvCovaOZQQVDbnCzXqrhSKO2eUG0A

Summer

Light Summer People who are considered to have a “light summer” color palette tend to have cool undertones and a low contrast between their hair, skin, and eyes. Soft, cool pastel colors are best suited for this palette. Colors like baby blue and lavender will be your best friends. Our favorite celebrity look for this palette is Margot Robbie at the Golden Globes, stunting in a cool, pastel pink dress!  C24EoHzqVvRZns
True Summer  A “true summer” color palette contains soft and muted colors, and often have cool and ashy tones in their hair. Soft grays and a range of muted (not bright) blues will best suit the cool undertones of this palette. Our favorite celebrity outfit for this palette is Anna Kendrick, who is complimenting her cool undertones with a soft, light gray dress.  2DErIJG5M669FLPRk7oQhmyDhdvz7UC6zMq Y2S5sQmr6V4MkgRRltH US99cKb0HAbY 3Yw RerS2ni1WDzfaSt8S3Tvo347DuQE ztlU1c6Hw8HP4Iat81F9oDYy0mFRi26c5wkydkUizsa33uG1g
Soft Summer The “soft summer” contains cool, low saturation colors. Soft beiges and rosy pinks will compliment someone of this color palette super nicely. Our celebrity choice for “soft summer” is Jennifer Anniston in this blush pink summer dress! aEtZ6I bWXGC8uyermVswKYc3V6MD6FJEn9oDBG2Kz9KW 2zstQW6b78gy8Z6PbutptqEcftjWUrn4n SMCSgTT2n5nDOrVD U7f2SPjGGwR1ZXjB1Yiha2w1qP4UGBJPvBnesYONmuV9nnw5aDKYGY

Autumn 

Dark Autumn  Dark Autumn is often confused with Dark Winter, but an important difference between the two is that  people who have a dark autumn color palette have warm undertones. People whose color palette is “dark autumn” tend to have high contrast between their hair, skin, and eyes. They look great in warm, deep colors, such as maroon and navy blue. We have two favorite looks for this color palette, Halle Berry in a stunning maroon gown and Sofia Vergara in this navy blue masterpiece  (we could not decide between these two gorgeous ladies!)e pANKOeBSwyIT7ErvMMQvNf7SuJgh5jeUYGmk09IZ7x9fyI19z692HfvfHPx0L2HAGqNV XrIR76UXvxYjwRsJn1CL7pnSmwXJPLYCyH DII9g9gwScIvWCw 5iWN2VZtRPmjnoowUaEMVmttZBG7G0FhnhQRHFc 9vVSGSw e0
True Autumn  Those with a “true autumn” color palette will look best in rich, warm, and soft colors. Chestnut brown and a range of warm oranges will compliment your features in an impressive way. Our celebrity choice for this palette is the beautiful Dianna Agron, or as you may know her as Quinn from Glee!  gigeHNR4mt5UXraFi3 qwAD58HOnjrNqTSkdYYpN2YkZq6CF IQ6KoXY2wrySA0FUU9bww2sHKbzZOXIURmOVJErKagmaaSqtOvHwlahfmSIdW L9RMUTjeN2D9tuzFHMeqmmRlSvZzvwl3HFW5 Kk
Soft Autumn  People who fall into the soft autumn color palette have a low contrast between features, and look fantastic in warm, muted colors. Try to avoid bright and sharp colors! Instead, stick with a nice sage green and soft beige. A celebrity that we think rocked this palette is Gigi Hadid. We all remember this iconic runway moment for the hair flip, but maybe it’s because she dressed perfectly for her color palette ;) She also dresses to her palette in simple, streetwear.  L 1aQhBxljkMssxykZ8uRhiNAkVNQwsoljPpKgT xr3WNuwA50Mt84zmkZUPRdqV0MSxNzCw3LNUfyLcgzsxYtyKYJwHmJHMEmSSQH9 z6iIdS4BgR 6rkZk9HMwpw7G4M74Q zLKMvnzKEZoKghV70WB7VuUZlMWBDUSkR3QB2cn2IUAo p5t8qBk7VVKxf76Pl39BjIhLa0BO wN4B
