What makes someone a Cool Winter?

Cool Winter placement comes from the combination of cool hue dominant + medium-deep. The dominant axis decides the sub-season; the other two axes place you in the Winter family.

Can natural-hair color change my season placement?

Hair color is one of three signals (skin undertone, hair, eye color) that combine into your season. Significant dye jobs can shift your overall reading temporarily, but your underlying season — defined by skin undertone — doesn't change.

What if you don't look like any of them?

Celebrity examples are visual shortcuts — most people fit broadly but not perfectly into one. Two reasons your placement may differ from any single example:

Your dominant axis is different. Two people with similar hair color can sit in different sub-seasons if the dominant trait differs (one is depth-dominant, the other is chroma-dominant). The quiz isolates the dominant axis from the others.

You're on a sub-season border. About 30% of people read between two adjacent sub-seasons. The quiz returns both a top result and a runner-up — try both palettes for a week to see which wins on real compliments.
