If you’re active on social media platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest, you may have noticed the recent popularity of people finding out what their colouring is in terms of seasons. Once determining which season you fall into, you can determine which colours, shades and patterns are most flattering on you.
As hair colour experts in Western Sydney, we adore this trend as we feel it gives people the tools to find complementary tones to their natural colouring. This article will outline some of the features associated with spring, summer, autumn and winter colouring. Which one are you?
Spring Characteristics
Springs usually have light and clear skin tones with yellow undertones and sometimes freckles. Most springs have light blue or light green eyes, sometimes with golden tones around the iris.
While some springs could be red-headed or brunette, most are blonde. No matter the hair colour, springs usually have golden undertones in their hair. If you are a spring, it’s a good idea to keep your hair colour warm and natural, staying away from any dramatic contrasts which may wash you out.
If you’re a spring, you look best in:
- Warm tones
- Light, clear colours
- Apple green, aqua blue, etc.
Summer Characteristics
Summers are most commonly defined by their skin’s bluish or violet undertone. All of their undertones are on the cooler side, meaning they often have blue or grey eyes and ashen hair (whether it be blonde or brunette).
If you are a summer, you should always choose hair colours with cooler hues, such as platinum blonde, mushroom brown, etc. Warm colours may wash you out.
If you’re a summer, you look best in:
- Soft colours
- Cool, light tones
- Blues, pinks, lavenders
Autumn Characteristics
Autumns have characteristically bronze or golden skin tones with red or dark hair. Eye colours can range from light greens to dark browns. Warm red and copper tones look best on this type of colouring, and even if you have dark hair, a few copper highlights could really accentuate your best features.
If you’re an autumn, you look best in:
- Earthy tones
- Camel, olive green, mustard yellow, etc.
Winter Characteristics
Winters are all about contrast. This could mean pale skin with very dark hair or even dark skin with bright, white teeth. Winters also have cool, bluish undertones and their hair is always naturally dark.
If you’re a winter, you look best in:
- Colours with high contrast
- Black, white, cherry red, emerald green, etc.
