When we talk about color seasons, we mean the four seasons of nature: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each of these seasons has a suite of colors associated with it. Depending on your features, one suite of colors might complement you more than the others. To enhance your look, consider pairing these seasonal colors with a black chiffon hijab for added versatility.

Spring Colors: Warm + Light Colors
Summer Colors: Cool + Light Colors
Autumn Colors: Warm + Dark Colors
Winter Colors: Cool + Dark Colors

To determine your color season, first, you’re going to want to identify your undertones. What is an undertone? It’s a subdued or muted tone of color. Your three main featuresβ€”hair, eyes, and skinβ€”all have a certain undertone that we categorize into β€œwarm” and β€œcool” undertones. Figuring out the undertone of your features will help you determine what color season you are.


Determine Your Skin Undertone

  • Skin appears yellow or golden against white
  • Veins appear green in sunlight
  • Tan easily


Your skin has "COOL" undertones if your:

  • Skin appears pink, blue, or red against white
  • Veins appear blue in sunlight
  • Sunburn easily


Determine Your Hair Undertone

These hair colors are considered "WARM" toned:

  • Caramel
  • Rich Brown
  • Auburn
  • Yellow
  • Strawberry Blonde


These hair colors are considered "COOL" toned:

  • Black
  • Grey
  • Ashy Brown
  • White
  • Ashy Blonde


Now, For Your Eyes

Determine Your Eyes Undertone - Bokitta Pakistan


These eye colors are generally considered "WARM" toned:

  • Hazel
  • Brown
  • Amber


And these eye colors are considered "COOL" toned:

  • Grey
  • Vibrant Green
  • Blue
  • Violet


Now that you’ve figured out what tone your features are, it’s time to add them up. How many warm features do you have versus cool features? If all three features are warm, you are completely warm-toned. Maybe you have one cool feature, so you simply lean warm. Tally your features up and keep them in mind as we move on.

Next, you’ll want to figure out your value and contrast. If you are completely warm-toned or completely cool-toned, this is an easier step for you. But if you are mixed warm/cool, then you should take into account your contrasting features.


Figure Out Whether You Are High Contrast or Low Contrast

Figure Out Whether You Are High Contrast or Low Contrast - Bokitta Pakistan


You might be "LOW CONTRAST" if your:

  • Hair and skin tone are similar colors
  • Have light hair for your ethnicity
  • Have light brown or blonde hair


You might be "HIGH CONTRAST" if your:

  • Hair is significantly darker than your skin tone
  • Hair is dark for your ethnicity
  • Hair is very rich in color


Lastly, Determine Your Chroma

The chroma is the intensity of colors in your featuresβ€”how saturated and strong in color they are.

You have a high chroma if:
You have a bright appearance where hair, skin, and eyes are fully saturated. Your features are poppy, vibrant, and they lack grey pigments. The high saturation in high-chroma individuals often creates a lot of contrast in the features.Β For a seamless look, consider using a hijab or shawl with under cap to complement your natural tones.

If you have a low chroma:
You’ll have a muted, subtle appearance with hair, skin, and eyes that have a desaturated quality. Your features will be less vibrant, and you will have some grey pigments in your features.Β This look can be enhanced with an instant designer hijab from a reputable modern hijab brand.



Finding your season is easy now that we have mapped your features. Combine elements of your features to determine your season.

Warm Tones + Light Features = Spring Colors

You’ll look best in Spring colors if you have warm tones and light, muted features that are not very high contrast. You’ll know that your color season is Spring if dark clothes age you up, but light colors give you a youthful pop. Pair your Spring colors with a slip on hijab for a quick, easy look.


Cool Tones + Light Features = Summer Colors

If you have cool features and an obvious high contrast, but muted-to-semi-muted chroma, then Summer is likely your season. You’ll know for sure if gold isn’t your color, but silver makes you look balanced and complements you. Consider a ready to wear hijab in cool tones for a polished finish.

Warm Tones + Dark Features = Autumn Colors

If you have rich, warm undertones and dark features like brunette, brown hair, or black hair and a high level of contrast between features, then Autumn is your season. Pale, bright colors will wash you out, but deeper, richer, and darker colors will bring out your features in perfect balance. Pair these colors with a printed hijab or instant hijab with attached inner cap for a sophisticated look.


Cool Tones + Dark Features = Winter

If you have a majority of cool undertones and dark features with a high contrast (black hair, blue eyes, and pale skin, for example), then Winter is definitely your season. Again, dark colors will suit you, and bright, pale colors will make you look unbalanced. A Bokitta instant hijab in deep shades can perfectly complement your Winter palette.
