Find Your Color Season in 2 Minutes
July 4, 2025
If you’ve ever stared at your closet and thought, Why does nothing actually look good on me?, you’re not alone. The issue might not be the clothes—it might be the colors.
And trust me, I know the feeling. In my 15 years of styling and dressing celebrities, pro athletes and everyone in between, I've learned how important it is to choose the right color for you and your skin tone.
That’s why we built the LookSky color season quiz. It’s fast, free, and shockingly accurate. We use AI to analyze your natural features and recommend the exact shades that make you glow. No filters. No guessing. Just better outfits—instantly.
Quick Answer
Looking for your color season? Our free quiz reveals your best shades—like Clear Spring or Soft Summer—so you can glow in every outfit. Once matched, you’ll see flattering, pre-vetted looks in the LookSky app and try them on virtually.
What Is a Color Season?
A color season is a personal color palette based on your skin tone, hair, and eyes. It determines which hues bring out your natural radiance—and which ones make you look tired, dull, or washed out.
There are 12 color seasons total. Each one is a unique blend of:
• Temperature (warm or cool undertones)
• Contrast (low vs. high between skin, hair, and eyes)
• Clarity (bright and crisp vs. soft and muted)
We like to think of it as your personal glow filter. Once you know your season, everything else gets easier—shopping, styling, even skipping makeup some days.
How to Tell If You’re Wearing the Wrong Colors
• You look pale, sallow, or tired—even when you’re not
• You pile on makeup just to feel “awake”
• Your outfit looks good on the hanger but never quite works on you
• You wear black because it’s safe, not because it flatters
Most of us were never taught how to shop for color. That’s why the LookSky quiz exists. We’ll help you fix the real problem: your wardrobe isn’t working for your face.
How the LookSky Color Season Quiz Works
• Upload a quick selfie inside the app (no makeup, no filter is best)
• AI scans your features, including skin undertone, contrast level, and natural coloring
• We match you to one of 12 color seasons
• You’ll instantly see outfits curated to your palette—and yes, you can virtually try them on
Bonus: You also get styling tips, outfit formulas, and a daily feed of fashion inspiration based on your exact shape and style. It’s like having a personal shopper, stylist, and colorist in one app.
From Samantha our Co-Founder & Chief Brand Officer: “Why Color Season Changed Everything About the Way I Dress”
I’m 5'0", wear XS or S, and have an hourglass shape. For the longest time, I thought my biggest style challenge was just fit. But, once I discovered color season, it changed everything.
Turns out, I’m a Clear Spring—which means I look best in bright, warm, high-contrast shades like coral, turquoise, and ivory. Before that, I leaned heavily on black and beige because they felt “safe.” But looking back at photos, I can see how they dulled my features.
Once I started dressing in my season, I didn’t need extra makeup or dramatic styling tricks. I just looked… brighter. More pulled together. More me.
That’s why we built the color season quiz into the LookSky app. Because the right color palette does more than flatter—it takes the guesswork out of getting dressed. And busy women like us don’t have time for trial and error.
I’m not the only one who’s felt this shift. One of our early users messaged me to say:
“I took the quiz as a joke. But after switching to Soft Autumn colors, people started complimenting me on how ‘well-rested’ I looked. I wasn’t sleeping better—I was just wearing the right shirt.”
That’s the power of color alignment. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
