What Is My Undertone?
Your undertone is the subtle hue beneath your skin's surface: warm (golden), cool (rosy), neutral (balanced) or olive (greenish). This free 5-question test identifies yours in under a minute, using the vein, jewelry and white-versus-cream checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know my undertone?
- Check your veins (green suggests warm, blue suggests cool), test gold against silver jewelry, and compare pure white to cream near your face. This test combines those checks into one instant answer.
- What are the four undertones?
- Warm (golden or peachy), cool (rosy or bluish), neutral (a balance of both) and olive (a subtle greenish cast that can sit over warm, cool or neutral).
- Is undertone the same as skin tone?
- No. Skin tone is how light or deep your skin is, and it can change with the sun. Undertone is the hue beneath it, and it stays the same all your life.
- What does my undertone mean for my colors?
- It is the first trait of your color season. Warm undertones point toward spring and autumn palettes, cool undertones toward summer and winter. The full quiz refines this into one of 12 seasons.
