Undertone vs. overtone
Separate surface warmth, depth, and true undertone so color choices feel less confusing.

Color Measure
Find a likely color direction using undertone, contrast, depth, and face-framing color clues.
Color Measure
Palette, undertone, contrast, and your most flattering face-framing shades.
This quiz is meant to guide you toward your most likely palette direction. It is most useful when taken in daylight, without filters, and with little or no makeup.
Color Measure
Start Measure.
Complete this edit to reveal your likely palette direction, best neutrals, metals, contrast level, and face-framing shades.
Color Measure does not pretend a screen-based test can replace in-person draping. Instead, it gives you a likely direction, best neutrals, strongest metals, and the kinds of shades that usually look strongest in tops, scarves, makeup, and other face-framing pieces.
Use natural daylight if you can, avoid filters, and compare colors near your face. Olive undertones may look neutral, golden, gray-green, or hard to place, so choose “neutral, olive, or hard to place” when warm/cool answers both feel incomplete.
Color quiz
Think black turtlenecks, crewnecks, scarves, or tops worn close to the face.
Contrast means the difference between your skin, hair, and eyes. Dark hair with lighter skin often reads higher contrast; softly blended coloring usually reads lower contrast.
This is only one clue. Skip it if you are unsure.
