What color type are you?
The world of colors is fascinating - and not every color suits everyone! Your skin color, eyes and hair play a decisive role in which colors make you shine and which make you look pale or tired. Your color type gives you clear guidance in finding the colors that are right for you. Here you can find out which color types there are and how you can determine your own color type.
What is a color type?
The color type is based on the color analysis of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each of these types is linked to a special color palette that supports your natural colors and makes them shine. Within the seasons there are so-called subtypes that further specify the color selection. With the right color palette you look refreshed, radiant and harmonious - an indispensable basis for a perfectly coordinated capsule wardrobe.
