WHY FOUR SEASONS?

Seasonal colour analysis begins with four main colour families: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. More detailed systems, such as 12 or 16 seasons, divide these families further to account for finer differences in warmth, depth and colour intensity.

For MMNine Lab, the four-season system gives you a strong and practical starting point. Once you understand your main season, you already have a clear direction for the colours, contrasts and finishes that are most likely to work together.

Our guides focus on what to do with that direction — how to translate it into clothing, makeup, hair, jewellery and everyday styling — rather than adding more labels.

WHAT ABOUT SUB-SEASONS?

Some people will benefit from more detailed subtype analysis, particularly if they sit between two seasons or find that only part of their seasonal palette feels right.

Think of it this way:
➤ 4 seasons = your overall colour direction
➤ 12 or 16 seasons = a more precise refinement of that direction

You don't need to know your exact subtype before you can start making better colour choices.
