Do you already know your basic season? If not, you should first find out your basic season here.

To test whether you belong to a certain color type, look for single-colored items of clothing, scarves, shawls or colored paper without a rough structure in the corresponding colors and hold them up to your face one by one. It is important that you do not wear make-up, that your hair is inconspicuously styled and that your top is cut wide. The background should be as neutral as possible (white) and it is best to test in daylight.
The color charts for each type cannot show all suitable colors. However, they cover a broad spectrum. Digital color palettes that you can use to buy clothes are available in my online store.
Clicking on the pictures of the respective color type will take you to a more detailed description with suggestions for clothing, color combinations and patterns.
