Colour analysis palettes

A colour analysis palette is the set of colours that light the face when they sit next to skin. We spell colour because this page is for British search, not a US clone with a u added. The season is the name of that set. Four palettes (spring, summer, autumn, winter) name the family. They do not dress a wardrobe. Two winters do not share a lipstick. Two autumns do not share camel. If a sitting wrote only «Spring», you were given the clan. Finish Light, Warm, or Bright at the face in daylight.

The 12-season system Season Palette uses (Sci/ART, Kathryn Kalisz, the same axes as True Colour International) splits each family into three by value and chroma. Four is the clan. Twelve is the closet. We do not clone twelve British URLs for Light Spring through Deep Winter — those palettes live in English at the twelve colour seasons. This page is the set: British spelling, one grid, no extra season microsites. Colour analysis — what it is — lives on its own page. The colour analysis quiz is the neighbourhood. This is the shelf.

We are not a House of Colour licensee and we do not sell a 16-type product. A studio booklet that trains four seasons is useful as a family map. It is still not twelve closets. Colour, not postcode. We do not open city pages. Near-the-face is the test: necklines, scarves, tees, in daylight, not a changing-room spotlight.

Spring (warm, light, live): Light Spring, Warm Spring, Bright Spring. Summer (cool, muted): Light Summer, Cool Summer, Soft Summer. Autumn (warm, dense): Soft Autumn, Warm Autumn, Deep Autumn. Winter (cool, sharp): Bright Winter, Cool Winter, Deep Winter. The grid below is that shelf. It points at the English season pages — conceptually the same twelve colour seasons — rather than twelve UK clones. Open the one the quiz names. Hold it at the jaw. The one that dirties the face is not yours.

Summer is a family, not a single lipstick. Light Summer is porcelain and cool pink. Cool Summer is the family's «true» cool: rose, blue, plum, without winter ice. Soft Summer is mist: taupe, sage, mauve. If a booklet said Summer and fuchsia costumes you, you are not Bright Winter by quiz error: you may be soft, and fuchsia is not yours. Autumn is gold-matte, forest, rust. Soft Autumn holds dust. Warm Autumn wants more rust. Deep Autumn wants more weight. Olive with a blue cast can live in summer or winter. Surface yellow is not a warm ticket.

Winter: optical white, black, emerald, contrast. Dark hair on light skin often lives here — not automatically Cool Winter. Cool Winter is ice and true blue. Deep Winter carries more weight, less «ice». Bright Winter lights with hard contrast and saturated colour. Spring is peach and coral, not autumn rust. Ivory and yellow gold usually win. Optical white can wash. Sci/ART True Spring is Warm Spring — the family's most «spring», not a thirteenth product.

House of Colour trains four seasons in the UK. We are not that franchise and not a licensee. A House of Colour booklet is a family — useful — and still not twelve closets. True / «absolute» in some 16-type schools maps here to Warm Spring, Cool Summer, Warm Autumn, Cool Winter. It is not a thirteenth product. House of Colour versus 12-season is the taxonomy page. What is colour analysis is the method. Do not 1:1 a 16-type label onto a Sci/ART palette. One school's True is another school's Bright. Gold or silver, white or ivory, then chroma. Face, not the string on the fan.

We do not sell 16-type as a product. The iOS app is 12, paid: it reads undertone and contrast from a photo. It is not a drape. The three-question colour analysis quiz is a neighbourhood — eyes, skin depth, hair — no account, no camera. A studio sells fabric, north light, and someone watching whether the colour dirties the face. That remains the gold standard. A booklet and a quiz that disagree are two products, not a scam. Take the clan home. Finish the sub-season in daylight.

Two minutes at the window: optical white against ivory, yellow gold against silver, at the jaw. Then the colour analysis quiz for the neighbourhood. Then the grid below — English season pages, not twelve British clones. If you want undertone from a still, the paid app. If the decision is a cut or a wedding, fabric. How much a sitting costs is the honest page. What is colour analysis is the definition.

Do not reverse the ladder to «save». You save observation, not a season. No city pages. No hidden funnel. The button below is the public quiz. Without an account on the web is not an unpaid iOS product. The app is paid. Draping remains the gold standard.
