Three readings, three results

"I've spent ten years buying jewel tones because they look great on other people. Mirame told me Soft Summer in two minutes. The dusty mauve I'd been ignoring is the one that actually works."

"I knew I wore a lot of black. I didn't know fuchsia and cool red were the only other colours I should ever buy. The shopping list got shorter and the wardrobe got better."

Colour Season

Finding Your
Colour Season

You already know this instinctively: some colours make you look rested and sharp, others make you look tired. Colour analysis just gives you the language for it. Your season is determined by the pigments in your skin, hair, and eyes, and when you dress in colours that harmonise with those pigments, you look healthier and more polished without changing anything else.

What Is Colour Analysis?

Colour analysis (also called seasonal colour analysis) is the practice of determining which palette of colours looks most flattering against your natural colouring. It's based on three characteristics:

  • Undertone, whether your skin has warm (golden, peachy) or cool (pink, blue) undertones
  • Value, how light or dark your overall colouring is (hair, skin, eyes together)
  • Chroma, whether your colouring is clear and high-contrast or soft and muted

The 12 Colour Seasons

The modern 12-season system refines the original 4-season model by adding depth. Each season has three variations based on its dominant characteristic:

Spring Seasons

Spring women have warm undertones with a fresh, clear quality. Hair is typically golden blonde to light brown, and eyes are bright.

  • Light Spring, delicate and luminous. Best in peach , light coral , and mint
  • Warm Spring, golden and vibrant. Best in coral , golden yellow , and salmon
  • Clear Spring, bright and high-contrast. Best in turquoise , true red , and electric blue

Summer Seasons

Summer women have cool undertones with a softer, more muted quality.

  • Light Summer, soft and ethereal. Best in powder blue , soft rose , and lavender
  • Cool Summer, crisp and elegant. Best in raspberry , true blue , and cool pink
  • Soft Summer, muted and harmonious. Best in dusty rose , sage , and mauve

Autumn Seasons

Autumn women have warm undertones with a rich, earthy quality. Hair is often auburn, chestnut, or deep brown.

  • Soft Autumn, gentle and warm. Best in sage , olive , and stone
  • Warm Autumn, earthy and vibrant. Best in burnt orange , forest green , and terracotta
  • Deep Autumn, rich and dramatic. Best in oxblood , petrol , and aubergine

Winter Seasons

Winter women have cool undertones with a bold, high-contrast quality. Hair is typically dark brown to black.

  • Deep Winter, intense and commanding. Best in dark purple , midnight blue , and wine red
  • Cool Winter, pure and striking. Best in true red , royal blue , and emerald
  • Clear Winter, vivid and electric. Best in bright fuchsia , electric blue , and vivid emerald

How to Use Your Colour Season

Once you know your season, start with these high-impact changes:

  1. Tops and scarves near your face, this is where colour matters most. Swap a black top for your best neutral.
  2. Makeup, your lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow should draw from your season's palette.
  3. Jewellery metal, warm seasons shine in gold and brass; cool seasons in silver and platinum.
  4. Bottoms and shoes, these can be more flexible. Your best neutrals work here.

The goal isn't restriction, it's clarity. When you know your colours, shopping takes less time and getting dressed takes less thought.

Wardrobe Guide

How to Build a
30-Piece Wardrobe

A capsule wardrobe isn't about minimalism for its own sake, it's about owning fewer, better pieces that all work together. Around 30 pieces (excluding underwear, activewear, and sleepwear) can cover every occasion in your life.

Why 30 Pieces?

The average woman wears only 20% of her wardrobe regularly. A 30-piece capsule built intentionally gives you more outfit combinations than a 100-piece wardrobe built on impulse:

  • 10 tops, mix of casual tees, blouses, and knits in your colour palette
  • 5 bottoms, jeans, trousers, and skirts that pair with everything
  • 5 dresses, from casual day dresses to occasion wear
  • 5 outerwear/layers, blazer, denim jacket, coat, cardigan, light jacket
  • 5 shoes, sneakers, flats, heels, boots, sandals

Building Your Capsule by Colour

The secret to a wardrobe where everything goes together is colour discipline:

  1. Base neutrals (40%), your season's best neutrals for bottoms, outerwear, and everyday basics
  2. Core colours (40%). 2 to 3 of your power colours for tops, dresses, and statement pieces
  3. Accent colours (20%). 1 to 2 bold colours from your palette for accessories

The One-In-One-Out Rule

Once your capsule is built, for every new piece you bring in, one piece goes out. This forces intentional purchases and keeps your wardrobe manageable.

Capsule by Style Archetype

Modern Classic

Invest in tailoring. Centre around a perfectly-fitted blazer, quality trousers, silk blouses, and structured bags.

Relaxed Luxe

Focus on elevated basics in premium fabrics. Cashmere knits, quality denim, leather accessories, and soft tailoring.

Minimalist

Invest in the highest quality you can afford for each piece. Focus on cut and fabric over colour.

Creative Edge

Your capsule might include more statement pieces, an architectural jacket, printed trousers, sculptural shoes. Balance with simple basics.

Getting Started

Start by taking your colour reading to identify your colour season, then audit what you already own. You're probably closer to your ideal capsule than you think.

About

Meet
Mirame

Mirame is a mirror, not a rulebook. We don’t dictate what you should wear. We name what’s already true about your colouring. Then we point to the 10% of statement pieces that belong near your face, and the 70% of universal anchors you almost certainly already own.

Mirame (from the Spanish "mira me", "look at me") started with a question: why does a twenty-minute conversation with a good stylist change how you shop for years, but most women never have that conversation? We built the reading to bridge that gap. Colour science and styling principles, distilled into something you can do on your lunch break.

What We Do

Mirame provides a colour reading that determines your season and maps your palette to the Australian retailers who stock it.

Our Retailers

We feature products from 15+ retailers including THE ICONIC, Country Road, COS, Gorman, Witchery, Scanlan Theodore, David Jones, ASOS Australia, Uniqlo, Zimmermann, Bassike, Seed Heritage, Sandro, AllSaints, and R.M. Williams.

How It Works (Technically)

The quiz uses a rule-based scoring algorithm, not AI or machine learning. Your answers are scored across warmth/coolness and softness/clarity axes to determine your colour season. Product recommendations are ranked by how closely their metadata matches your profile across five factors. All processing happens in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
