This is a question that gets asked a lot. I've wondered it myself and it really comes in handy to know on school picture day (which is coming up for me in a few weeks!).
I recently found out that skin/hair/eye color tones kind of parallel the seasons.
The first type is Spring:
Spring is the most delicate of the four types. People who look best with spring colors have a warm but fair skin tone, light colored hair, and light colored eyes.
Colors that look good with Spring:
- Golden yellow
- Pastel or bright green
- Peach
- Salmon
- Light blue
- Bright red
- Chartreuse
- Ivory
- Periwinkle
- Beige
- Violet
- Light navy
- Light teal
The second type is Summer:
People with summer usually have a pale skin tone that compliments a cool palette, very blonde hair, and bright eyes. They look best in pastels and cool, rich colors.
Colors that go well with Summer:
- Royal blue
- Grey
- Blue-greens
- Fuchsia
- Cherry red
- Lavender
- Plum
- Burgundy
- Raspberry
- Light lemon
- Aqua
- Navy
The third type is Autumn:
Autumn is the most common tone. Autumns have a warm skin tone
(light or dark), red, auburn, strawberry blonde/golden undertones, or light brown to blonde hair, and light blue, green, hazel, or brown eyes.
Colors that look good with Autumn:
- Camel
- Beige
- Olive
- Orange
- Gold
- Dark brown
- Grey
- Pumpkin
- Terra cotta
- Lime green
- Tomato red
- Jade green
-Peach
And the fourth type is Winter:
Winter is often described as "icy and distinctive" and people with a winter color palette look best in the "power colors". Winters have very pale skin with a cool tone, brunette to black hair, and light colored eyes (often blue or grey.)
Colors that look best with Winter are:
- Navy
- Charcoal
- Emerald green
- Ruby red
- Silver
- Grey
- Cream
- Bright pink
- Royal purple
- Black
- Icy light blue
- Royal blue
I hope this guide was helpful to you all!
p.s. This totally reminds of my
personality type post, except on a physical level, haha. In that case, I'm an INFP Spring. :)
