Open your full palette and look at its neutrals, main colors and accents. Browsing colors you like is useful inspiration, but your favorites alone do not determine your season.
Try it with clothes you own.
Choose a familiar neutral, add one main color, and try an accent if you want one. The outfit examples below show how.
Keep what feels like you.
Try a new combination before buying anything. You can keep wearing colors outside your palette.
What is a color season,
anyway?
It’s a name for a family of colors with something in common: warmth, coolness, softness or intensity.
Color analysis uses your natural coloring to explore which family works for you. The names come from nature, not your birthday or the time of year.
Your wardrobe can include both seasonal colors and personal favorites. Learn what warmth, depth, clarity and contrast mean when exploring a palette.

Take your palette shopping.
Keep your palette open on your phone when you compare a new piece with the clothes you already own. Use it to notice the kinds of colors you want to try, rather than searching for an exact match. Screens, printed colors and store lighting can change how a shade looks. When possible, check the actual fabric and try the piece with something familiar before deciding.

How do I find my personal color palette?
Start with the free three-question quiz on this page, then explore your seasonal palette and try its colors with clothes you already own. No account or photo is needed. Your result is a starting point based on your answers. The clothes you enjoy wearing still matter.
How do I combine colors in an outfit?
Try one neutral as a foundation, one main color in a shirt or sweater, and an accent if you want a little more color. You can use the examples above with similar pieces from your own closet.
Does my season change with the weather?
No. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter describe color families, not when you should wear them. You can use your palette all year.
Do I need to replace my wardrobe?
No. Start with the clothes you already own. Look for colors you enjoy wearing, try new combinations, and use your palette as a guide for future choices.
Can I still wear a color outside my palette?
Of course. Your palette is a starting point, not a dress code. Keep wearing what you love. You can try an unfamiliar color in shoes, a bag or a piece away from your face.
Can I find my color palette from a photo here?
The quiz on this page uses your answers, without a photo or account. Photo color analysis is available in Cladwell on iPhone and iPad. Lighting and your camera can affect a photo reading, so treat it as a starting point to explore.
What does color analysis look at?
Warmth describes whether colors lean golden or blue. Depth is how light or dark they are. Clarity is how soft or bright they look. Contrast describes the difference between light and dark in your coloring. Together, these qualities help describe a palette.
Less guessing.
More feeling like you.
