How much does existing hair colour affect the final result?
Having a different hair colour from many of the examples in your colour palette doesn’t mean the analysis is wrong. Colour analysis is based on the overall impression of skin, eyes, and natural hair colour. Hair colour is only one of several puzzle pieces.
Why are so many redheads shown in Bright Spring?
The season Bright Spring is characterised by clear and warm colours with high saturation. Many people in this colour 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 colour affect the analysis?
- Natural hair colour provides clues – the shade and depth of your hair help us see whether you lean towards warmer or cooler tones, but it’s always considered alongside skin tone and eye colour.
- Dyed hair is no obstacle – we mainly look at the natural colour in roots and eyebrows, as well as older photos, when we need to see your original appearance.
- The whole picture decides – even if hair colour changes over time, your fundamental colour type remains. A blonde can thus be just as much Bright Spring as a redhead.
Tips if you’re unsure
- Compare how different colours reflect against the face rather than focusing only on hair colour.
- Notice which shades make skin and eyes look clearer – those are often the colours 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 colour contributes to the analysis but doesn’t solely determine the outcome. The combination of hair, skin, and eyes, along with how the colours in the palette interact with your face, determines the result.
