Power colors instead of fashion frustration: The ultimate guide to finding your color type and looking better instantly

Do you know that feeling? Your closet is full, but you still feel like you have "nothing to wear." You try on an outfit and feel somehow pale, tired, or just not yourself. Often, the reason isn't the cut or style, but simply the wrong color!

But don't worry, the solution is simpler than you think: color theory. Once you know which colors enhance your natural beauty, shopping will be child's play and every trip to your closet will be a success. Forget the frustration and discover your personal power colors that will make you shine!

Why the right colors make such a big difference

The colors you wear directly against your face (like tops, scarves, or jackets) have a huge impact on your charisma. The right shades can:

  • Make your complexion look fresh and even.
  • Make your eyes shine.
  • Optically reduce small wrinkles or dark circles under the eyes.
  • Give you an overall healthier and more awake appearance.
  • Boost your self-confidence because you simply feel good.

The wrong colors, on the other hand, can make you look pale, sick, or older than you are. So it's worth investing a few minutes to determine your color type!

Step 1: Determine your skin’s undertone – cool or warm?

This is the most important foundation. Almost everyone can be classified as either a cool or warm color type. Here are three simple tests you can do right away in daylight:

  1. The vein test: Look at the inside of your wrist. Do your veins appear more bluish or purple? Then you have a cool undertone. Do they appear more greenish or olive? This indicates a warm undertone.
  2. The Jewelry Test: Which suits you better, gold or silver? If silver jewelry makes your skin glow, you're probably a cool type. If gold flatters you particularly well and makes you look fresh, you're a warm type.
  3. The white test: Hold a pure white T-shirt and a cream-colored or ivory garment up to your face. If the bright white makes you look fresh, you're a cool type. If you look more harmonious and healthier in cream or off-white, you're a warm type.

Have you spotted a trend? Great! Then let's move on to the next step.

Step 2: Find your season

The classic color theory is divided into the four seasons. Two of these are warm, two are cool.

The warm types: Spring & Autumn

The Spring Type (Warm & Clear)
You have a warm skin undertone, often with a golden or peach sheen. Your hair color is typically light to medium blonde, light brown with a golden shimmer, or reddish. Your eyes are often light (blue, green, light brown).
Your power colors are fresh, bright and warm:

  • Apricot and salmon
  • May green and lime green
  • Coral and warm red
  • Sunny yellow
  • Turquoise

The Autumn Type (Warm & Muted)
Your skin undertone is warm, often golden-beige or olive. Your hair is usually red, chestnut brown, dark blonde, or dark brown with a warm shimmer. Your eye color is often a warm brown, green, or amber.
Your power colors are earthy, rich, and muted:

  • Rust red and terracotta
  • Olive green and khaki
  • Mustard yellow and ochre
  • Dark petrol
  • Chocolate brown and camel

The cool types: Summer & Winter

The Summer Type (Cool & Muted)
You have a cool, often delicate pink or beige skin undertone. Your natural hair color is ashy—ranging from ash blonde to ash brown to a cool light brown. Your eyes are usually blue, gray-blue, green-gray, or cool brown.
Your power colors are soft, powdery and bluish:

  • Lilac and lavender
  • Sky blue and dove blue
  • Mint green and sage
  • Raspberry red and old pink
  • Grey and navy blue instead of black

The Winter Type (Cool & Clear)
Your skin undertone is cool, often porcelain-like or olive with a bluish tinge ("Snow White type"). Your hair is usually dark – from medium brown to black to blue-black. Your eye color is often clear and intense, e.g., ice blue, clear green, or a deep brown.
Your power colors are strong, clear and ice-cold:

  • Bold pink and fuchsia
  • Royal blue and cobalt blue
  • Emerald green
  • Pure white and black
  • Cherry red and cool violet
