The trend of finding your color season has produced dozens of filters on tiktok, various fashion YouTube videos, and angst for countless people just trying to decide on their next shirt. But where did it come from, and how does it work? Or does it work at all? There are plenty of mentions of the origins being found in the 1980s, but the story of color seasons goes back a little bit further. In fact, the history of color analysis has a much older origin story that may take you back to your Art 101 class. It may also answer some questions about how the system does, or doesn't, work. The rules had to come from someone- and the answer may be a 19th century Frenchman.
