Colours to wear for your season: capsule palettes for all 12
Each season has colours that harmonise with your colouring, three neutrals to build on, a metal, a best 'white' (optical white vs cream) and a best 'black' (true black vs espresso, charcoal or navy).
The test in the shop: 'does this belong with my palette?', not 'is it an exact match?'.
Capsule palette per season
One woman of each season in her first outfit formula (AI-generated sample), then her eight colours and three neutrals. Screens and fabrics vary; hexes are approximate.

Black, or your "black"?
Same person, only the knit changes. Black is a true neutral for winters; for everyone else a softer dark near the face keeps the skin clear.

Your metal, your white, your "black"

| True Spring | gold | Cream | Warm navy |
| Bright Spring | gold | Bright ivory | Dark navy |

| Deep Winter | silver | Icy white | Black |
| True Winter | silver | Pure white | Black |
| Bright Winter | silver | Optical white | Black |
Black is a true neutral only for winters; everyone else has a softer 'black' that doesn't cast shadows on the face.
Why your wardrobe 'doesn't go'
Neutrals from the wrong family
A whole wardrobe of black and grey on a warm season, or camel and cream on a cool one, makes every outfit fight the face. Fix the neutrals first.
Optical white on soft or warm seasons
Cream, oatmeal or oyster read as 'white' on you without the glare.
The colour is right, the clarity is wrong
Soft seasons in bright versions look costumey; bright seasons in dusty versions look tired. Same hue, different saturation.
Prints that ignore contrast
High-contrast prints on low-contrast colouring overwhelm; tonal prints on high-contrast colouring disappear.

Questions people ask
- Do I have to throw out my black?
- No, wear it away from the face (trousers, shoes, bags) and put your 'black' (espresso, charcoal, navy) near it.
- What if my undertone is neutral or olive?
- Metals become a free choice; olive undertones lean into the greens, teals, rosewood and plums in the palette.
- Where do these palettes come from?
- The common 12-season descriptors (temperature, depth, clarity), generic, not any trademarked system.
