Pure Winter. The easiest type to recognize - dark brunettes with very fair skin (Snow White). These women are very bright even without makeup!
  • The bottom-right cell of the table - high contrast, cold temperature.
  • Dark hair, cold brunette, may have an ashy tone. No reddish, yellowish, or brown tones as in autumn.
  • Eyes in cold tones. Black, black-brown, brown, intense blue.
  • Fair skin.

Pure Spring Palette

Pure Spring. The uniqueness of this color type is super brightness!
  • The top-left cell of the table - low contrast, warm temperature.
  • Hair: low contrast, so the hair will necessarily be light, with warm tones - yellowish, wheat-colored.
  • Eyes are also light, possibly blue (even though blue eyes are more common in cold tones, they can also belong to Spring), light green eyes, light brown eyes with a yellowish tint. Natural eyelashes and eyebrows are light.
  • Skin in warm but not too intense tones.

Pure Summer Palette

Pure Summer. Summer is the most complex type as there are no obvious colors. But it is also very common.
  • The cell in the bottom left of the table - low contrast, cool temperature.
  • Hair: low contrast, with no strong transition from hair to skin, ash brown.
  • Eyes are gray, blue, or gray-green. In any case, the tone of the eyes will be cool and never warm like brown. Eyelashes and eyebrows are of a muted ash color.
  • The skin does not have, or almost never has, a warm tone. Sometimes it may have a grayish hue.

Pure Autumn Palette

Pure Autumn. If you notice a slight red tint in the hair, you are looking at a typical autumn girl.
  • The cell in the top right of the table - high contrast, warm temperature.
  • Hair: dark, but often with a slight reddish hue.
  • Eyes: green, brown-green, warm brown. The most important feature is the warm tone of the eyes.
  • Skin: has a warm tanned tone, there may be freckles.

As you can see from the table, the principle for determining the pure (or absolute) subgroup is very simple: only two color parameters in two combinations. Saturation: high and low; temperature: warm or cool. Thus, there are four possible combinations. Their seasonal names are quite arbitrary and refer to one of the many theories of color typing, such as the Seasonal Theory or the "Seasons" theory.

In practice, we encounter a wide variety of nuances in an individual's initial data, and most options cannot be clearly associated with a specific cell in the table. Therefore, each type is divided into subtypes.

  • Winter can be bright, cool, warm, deep...
  • Spring - bright, light, warm.
  • Summer - light, cool, soft.
  • Autumn - soft, warm, deep, dark...

These names may vary across different sources, but they fundamentally indicate the direction in which, within the scheme shown above (table sheet ), a deviation occurs from the extreme value in the chromatic characteristics of a specific individual.

This principle has been incorporated into the program that powers this online service. Based on the selected color characteristics, it determines which cell of the table is closest to this option. If the initial data is atypical, a corresponding message is displayed, and based on the color characteristics, the approximate armocromia subgroup is determined.

After determining your season, it will be much easier to choose clothing colors for your wardrobe.

Some of the shades suitable for each pure season are listed in the table sheets above. For subgroups, the shades in the palette do not change drastically. They remain approximately the same, with perhaps a slight "adjustment" of brightness and saturation. You can download and print the palettes (or open them on your smartphone screen) for use during shopping.

Fan Palettes

Of course, using tables on a smartphone screen is not very convenient, so you can purchase on our website physical and "live" palettes with a much more complete range of shades. They are sold individually or as a set of 4 fan decks.

Using the color combinations from your palette during shopping ensures you won't make mistakes in matching clothing colors, as each palette's colors and shades have been selected by professional stylists specifically for each color type.

The palettes contain only the shades that suit you perfectly!
And all of them harmonize perfectly with one another!

You can literally pick any petal from your palette at random, and its shades will perfectly align with your appearance type, as they possess the same characteristics of warmth, contrast, and saturation.

Note on Service Functionality

We understand that many nuances in this program are not taken into account, but pure subgroups are determined accurately. The test is free, so please don't judge it harshly! Leave your observations and suggestions in the comments. This will help us improve the service's accuracy and reduce the number of errors in its operation.
