Stressing out about what the best hair color to match your skin tone is? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered.
There’s so much information out there about skin tones – what kind of skin tone you have, how to tell, what classifications you fall under, what that really means for your hair, what that really means for you …
Well, it’s enough to make you want to tear your hair out.
That’s where we come in. We’re going to make skin tone and hair color simple – right here and right now.
No more confusing contradictory information. No more charts that say one thing right next to charts that say something completely different.
No more trying to figure out if you’re ‘bright’, or ‘soft’, or ‘golden’, or whatever those made up distinctions mean.
No – this time, we’re keeping things simple. We’ve got you covered – everything is broken down into 4 key categories:
Are you a winter, spring, summer, or autumn?
All the information you need to figure out which one you are is included in this awesome, super easy to reference infographic.
If you’re a winter? You’ll know. If you’re a summer? You’ll find out.
No confusing distinctions, or weird instructions, or asking you whether you have “ivory” skin. (C’mon – who knows whether they have “ivory” skin? If your skin color was really “ivory” – you’d be dead!)
Not only that – besides getting crystal clear instructions on how to find your skin tone – we’re also going to give you the hair colors that would look amazing … as well as the hair colors you should avoid at all costs.
That way, you won’t spend time, energy, and money trying out a hair color, only to discover it looks terrible and you’ve damaged your hair.

I have light skin, hazel eyes, and naturally dirty dishwater blonde or light to medium brown. What color best suits me?
Very helpful..
Loved this.I am definately winter.Very pale/dark green eyes.I was born with medium brown hair.Ive been every color under the sun since!!.I love strong fantasy colors like magenta and dark red.but i am yearning for a pretty pastel like coral or pale blue.Irina shayks hair is a beautiful color,definately my ultimate second choice!!!
This quiz was helpful. I’m naturally medium brown, brown eyes. I’m Autumn and was thinking of doing copper with honey blonde highlights. I have grey at my crown so trying to blend/cover grey with low maintenance. Any suggestions?
Ive had grey since i was 14 years old. Recently I have decided to let my hair around my face grow out natural (face frame). Try letting that spot grow so you have a natural streak. If you’re not willing to try that, have a hair dresser put in a few foils along your part and around your face if you wear ponytails. The blond will blend with the grey.

Veronica bermingham , you can use blond to cover gray, try dark blond or medium blond. Use one with no ammonia like Olio. It works great.
I also think Summer and Spring are reversed. Spring is supposed to be a peachy complexion, or a bit of gold in the skin. Skin that dances..or porcelain skin tone. This is Spring. Summer is the fairest of all.
How long should continue to dye my hair? I’m 55 now and I only see a hint of gray, but I know I can’t dye it forever so I wondered what a good age to make the next change is. Looking forward to your answer. Thank you,

you have made a gross error between the season of SPRING and SUMMER, mixing them completely opposite!! You should fix this because you are misguiding people on their hair color!!!
I agree with this! For a moment I was confused and then I realized that the descriptions for Summer and Spring have been reversed. Spring is soft and warm, the lighter “sister” season of Autumn. Summer is soft and cool, almost like a lighter or softer kind of Winter. Not the other way round.
I don’t agree with your comments, because Spring is coming off of Winter, and is by nature a cooler season than Summer, and Summer is definitely the warmest of all the 4 seasons, so the descriptions provided are logical and make sense. Also, the description given for the Spring-type skins tones are fairer, and we all know that fair skinned people do not do well in Summer.
Eleanna – you are absolutely right. The Seasons ARE reversed. Spring is a warm color season, and Summer is a cool season. And Conscious Observer, FYI the physical temperature of the seasons has nothing to do with the ‘visual’ warmth or coolness of the seasonal color palates. To read these graphs correctly so people do not wind up with incorrect hair coloring – the season marked Spring here is actually SUMMER, and vice versa – the Summer season depicted here is SPRING. You should select hair color that is harmonious to your SKIN TONE, not the latest shade in Vogue to look your BEST. It is a shame they do not correct this website info, because coloring hair is a very serious business for ladies, and getting an incorrect shade which is not harmonious according to you skin tone is extremely difficult to manage with balancing out your clothing and make up. So please heed this advice and make the changes accurately for yourselves!! Good Luck to all!
Hi Im 50 year young lady. I have Mt hair dyed blond but my temples are gray what colour will I use to cover gray. I was told you can’t use blond colour to cover gray and you give me advice thanks
