What is Color Analysis?
Color Analysis is the art and science of discovering which shades of clothing and makeup harmonize best with your natural coloring. As the original authority in the field, Color Me Beautiful popularized this system in the 1980s through Carole Jackson’s groundbreaking book, and we have since helped over 26 million women discover their best colors.

2025 Color Trends
So, let’s break down the trending colors of 2025 and which seasons can pull them off:
Cherry Red
There is no question Cherry Red has been on everyone’s minds. This color is dark, rich, and screams decadent. Cherry Red is perfect for Summers and Winters! While we typically associate red tones with Autumns, those red tones are typically warmer like terra cotta or rust. Cherry Red is a much more muted and cooler tone of Red that is perfect for soft complexions and cooler undertones. Summers and Winters should definitely experiment with a cherry red lip in 2025!
Butter Yellow
Butter Yellow is truly on the up and up in 2025 and brands are starting to integrate this color EVERYWHERE. This color is perfect for Springs! It is definitely on the more delicate end of spring colors, but this color is undoubtedly bathed in sunshine and can make the warm undertones of Springs glow. Springs should consider using butter yellow eye shadows as base shades to bring out the warmth and radiance in their eyes.
Rich Purples & Lilacs
Purple is becoming a key player in 2025 and there are no signs of it slowing down. Rich purples and cool toned lilacs are perfect for Winters! These colors can help pull out the icy, cool tones of Winters’ eyes, as well as emphasize the depth and richness of their hair color. These purples are great for Winters’ eyeshadow looks and create bold contrast that will make any Winter shine.
Dill Green
Looking for a little color to bring back your warmth? Dill Green has you covered. Dill Green is perfect for Autumns because the earthy feel can pull out the beautiful warm browns, greens, and golds of Autumn’s eyes. It is the perfect medium green for any Autumn to try. Autumns should experiment with pops of dill green eyeshadow - or even eyeliner to really make their warm eyes pop!
Milky Oat
While simple, Milky Oat is an amazing neutral color to use as any base shade! Milky Oat is perfect for Autumns because as opposed to colder white bases, Milky Oat has notes of warmth and depth that are much more cohesive with the complexion of Autumns.
Mocha Mousse
Pantone has declared their 2025 color of the year to be Mocha Mousse - a rich, warm brown hue reminiscent of chocolate desserts. Mocha Mousse is perfect for Springs and Autumns as its warm undertones pair nicely with the natural warmth of both. This color is perfectly suited for bronzers, contours, and eyeshadows.
Metallic Accents
What is great about metallic accents is they work with EVERY season; it’s just a matter of finding the right one for you. For Winters and Summers, silvers, white gold, and platinum can make your cooler tones shine. For Autumn and Springs, gold, rose gold and copper are typically very flattering with warmer tones that can create a sun kissed glow.
