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.
