Colours for blonde hair
This is your palette
In our quiz blonde hair leans a little towards warm and keeps everything light, so blondes most often land in a Spring palette, usually a light one, and less often in a light Summer. Which of the two is decided less by the hair than by your eyes and skin: a golden blonde and an ash blonde rarely end up in the same palette.

Tips
- Look at your hair in daylight first. Golden, honey or strawberry blonde takes warm light colours – peach, coral, warm cream, light camel. Ash or platinum blonde takes cooler, softer ones – powder blue, dusty rose, lavender, soft grey.
- Blonde hair is light, so solid black right under the face can weigh it down. Try navy, chocolate or charcoal there instead, and keep black for trousers, shoes and bags.
- Choose your white by warmth: ivory or cream next to golden blonde, soft white next to ash. A stark optic white is the one most likely to look harsh near light hair.
- Your eyes decide how bright you can go. With soft grey or blue eyes, light muted colours are the safe start; with clear, bright eyes, a blonde can often carry clearer, more saturated colours too – the quiz checks that against your eyes and skin.
How to find your palette
Colour analysis reads three things in your colouring: warm or cool, light or deep, clear or soft. The quiz asks about your eyes, hair and skin, looked at in a mirror by a window in daylight. It never photographs or scans your face, and the palette it finds is yours to keep.
