Korean 12-season personal color wheel
Personal color analysis sorts people into one of twelve subtypes. Each subtype is a mix of three ideas: temperature (warm yellow-base vs cool blue-base), depth (how light or dark the colors should be), and chroma (how soft or vivid). The wheel below uses the same subtype names many Korean studios use in English, with Hangul on the wheel (for example Winter Vivid — 겨울 비비드).
What these lists are for
Think of “usually flatters” and “often fights” as gentle nudges, not rules about what you’re allowed to wear. They point to colors that tend to sit well with your undertone, how much contrast you carry, and how soft or vivid you read — not what’s “in” or “out” for taste. Section titles use the wording many Korean studios use in English (Winter Vivid, Spring Light, and so on). In Khrome you might see the same type with the words flipped — for example Vivid Winter instead of Winter Vivid — but the colors behind it are the same.
