Green outfit ideas
Three outfits, one from each of the seasons that hold the most of this color: a main piece, a second color and a neutral, all from that season's own palette.
Bright Spring
Bright jade as the main piece, spring green as the second color, dark warm brown for shoes and bag.
Light Spring
Apple green as the main piece, mint as the second color, ivory for shoes and bag.
True Spring
Leaf green as the main piece, chartreuse as the second color, cream for shoes and bag.
Using this green palette for a design
For a website, a room or a brand, copy the hex codes from the list above. The shades of one season already work together, so a set taken from one season card reads as a planned palette. For a calmer base, add shades from the neutral color palette or the purple color palette. To see one of these colors next to every other color, use colors that go with every color. For ready combinations, see three colors that look good together.
How we picked the shades
We pooled the wearable palette and the neutrals of all 12 seasons on this site, 271 different colors, and measured each in CIELAB: lightness (L*), chroma (C*, how strong the color is) and hue angle. A shade is in this palette when it is a hue angle from 100° to 200° (yellow-green to teal) with C* 10 or more, so olive, sage, emerald and teal count and gray does not.
No shade is typed by hand, and no paint or fashion brand is used. The same shade can be in two palettes, for example a light pink in both the pink and the pastel palette.
What this page cannot do
This page shows which seasons wear each green. It cannot tell you which season you are: that depends on your own skin, hair and eyes, in good light. Our free analysis reads them from one selfie, in your browser, and gives you your own palette with every green that suits you.
How this is different from other color analysis tools
- 01
Your photo stays on your device
Many photo apps upload your selfie and read it on their server (see our comparison). Ours measures it in your browser. There is no upload.
- 02
The result is free
Your season and palette, with no account and no email. At least one app in our comparison takes payment before you see any result.
- 03
A close call says so
Every result names the runner-up season and how close the call was. Borderline is a result we print.
- 04
We publish our accuracy
We tuned the method on faces that experts had labelled by season, then tested it on 410 celebrity photos we collected. The results, misses included.
