Season Comparisons: Which One Are You?
Borderline results are never random. Seasons sit on a wheel and each one blends into its two neighbours, so if you are torn between two seasons they are almost certainly adjacent. Every adjacent pair has a page here, with both palettes side by side and the single test that separates them.

Questions people ask
- Why am I between two color seasons?
- Because the seasons are points on a continuum rather than boxes. Each season shares its dominant dimension with one neighbour and its secondary dimension with the other, so the space between two adjacent seasons is a real place to be. The colors the two share are the safest ones to buy.
- Which color seasons are most often confused?
- The four same-name pairs, because they share a dominant dimension and differ only in temperature: Light Spring and Light Summer, Soft Autumn and Soft Summer, Dark Autumn and Dark Winter, Bright Spring and Bright Winter.
