Hi friends! I'm quite new to color theory and have been trying to figure out my own seasonal color palette without spending anything upfront since I'm on a narrow budget. I've taken several free online color analysis quizzes so far, but I've noticed that the results they give tend to be all over the place or pretty imprecise, which makes me question how trustworthy they really are. Some say I'm a Soft Summer, others suggest a Deep Winter, and a couple just give vague advice like "try warm colors". It's a bit frustrating since I was hoping these quizzes would help me understand which shades actually suit my skin tone and undertones.
I recently found this curated list of free color analysis quizzes that includes user ratings, so it looks worthwhile as a more trustworthy starting point. I'm sharing it here in case it might help others in a like position: what is my color palette . Before diving in, I want to hear from people with knowledge—are there any free quizzes you would actually recommend that gave you practical insights? Or are there common pitfalls I should watch out for, such as tests that push you toward a paid version or quizzes that rely too heavily on lighting conditions or photos that can skew results?
Also, if you have tips on how to understand quiz results critically or ways to cross-check outcomes without paying for professional analysis, that would be really helpful. Thanks in advance for any advice, recommendations, or warnings—just hoping to find something useful without emptying my wallet at this stage!
