How much does existing hair color affect the final result?
That you don’t have the same hair color as many 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 thus just 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 who belong to this color type happen to be redheaded or have warmly toned hair, which can make them highlighted as typical examples. But there are plenty of blonde and brown-haired people who also fit perfectly in the same palette.
How does hair color affect the analysis?
- Natural hair color provides clues – the shade and depth of your hair help us see if you lean toward warmer or cooler tones, but it’s always weighed together with skin tone and eye color.
- 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.
- 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 in the face rather than staring blindly at 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. It’s the combination of hair, skin, and eyes as well as how the colors in the palette interact with your face that provides the answer.
