How much does existing hair color affect the final result?

Published: June 4, 2025 Category: Color Theory & Common Misconceptions By: Customer Service Team

Having a different hair color from many of the examples in your color palette doesn’t mean the analysis is wrong. Color analysis is based on the overall impression of skin, eyes, and natural hair color. Hair color is only one of several puzzle pieces.

Why are so many redheads shown in Bright Spring?

The season Bright Spring is characterized by clear and warm colors with high saturation. Many people in this color type happen to be redheaded or have warmly toned hair, which is why they’re often highlighted as typical examples. But plenty of blonde and brown-haired people also fit the same palette.

How does hair color affect the analysis?

  1. Natural hair color provides clues – the shade and depth of your hair help us see whether you lean toward warmer or cooler tones, but it’s always considered alongside skin tone and eye color.
  2. Dyed hair is no obstacle – we mainly look at the natural color in roots and eyebrows, as well as older photos, when we need to see your original appearance.
  3. The whole picture decides – even if hair color changes over time, your fundamental color type remains. A blonde can thus be just as much Bright Spring as a redhead.

Tips if you’re unsure

  • Compare how different colors reflect against the face rather than focusing only on hair color.
  • Notice which shades make skin and eyes look clearer – those are often the colors in your palette.
  • Remember that seasons overlap somewhat. If you’re close to a sister season, small shifts in hair and contrast can play a role, but they rarely change the main result.

In summary, your natural hair color contributes to the analysis but doesn’t solely determine the outcome. The combination of hair, skin, and eyes, along with how the colors in the palette interact with your face, determines the result.
