The theory of the 4 seasons

Winter and summer are cool seasons, while fall and spring are warm seasons . Cool colors have a blue base, while warm colors have a yellow content.

Avoid selecting black, white and cool colors.
The spring woman

To find the right color balance, use Pareto's law. You're probably wondering why an image consultant is talking about probability in a fashion article... well, because 80% of your wardrobe may be composed of colors that match your season (summer, spring, fall, and winter) and 20% of other colors that aren't in your color palette. A color can look great on you even if it's not your seasonal palette.
