Free color analysis: find your season
Add one photo and we read your coloring off it instead of asking you to judge it: the skin and hair values we sample, your undertone, depth, chroma, and contrast, and the season we place you in. You get the palette with hex codes to copy, the runner-up season, and the sentence explaining what the read noticed.
One honest caveat before you start: undertone is the axis people misjudge most, and a filtered or badly lit photo can shift it. When that happens we say so and cap the confidence rather than dressing up a soft read, and border results link the exact sister-season comparison guide. No photo handy? The eight-question estimate is still below.
- Face the camera straight on, head and shoulders in frame.
- Use bright, even light. Facing a window works best.
- Keep hair off your face. No sunglasses or hats.
- Skip filters and edits. A plain phone camera is perfect.
Your photo is stored for up to 7 days so your full report can reuse it without asking you to upload it twice, then it is deleted automatically. You can delete it immediately from your result. It is never sold and never used to train anything.
How the measurement works
It runs in two stages, and the split is the whole point. First a vision model acts as an instrument: it is forbidden from naming a season anywhere in its answer, and only reports what it can sample. The average skin color across your cheek and forehead, your hair color weighted to the roots, your eye color, and then four axis calls: undertone (gold and peach versus rose and blue), depth (light through deep), chroma (clear through muted), and contrast (how far your hair and eyes sit from your skin).
The naming happens in a second, separate call. That one looks at your photo the way a draping session does, weighing skin, hair, eyes, and the contrast between them together, and commits to one of the 12 seasons plus the runner-up you could also lean toward. The two calls never see each other, and that is deliberate: we tried handing the measured axes to the naming call and it made the answer worse, not better. So the axes stay where they earn their place, on your result, as evidence you can hold against your own face.
The model also grades the photo itself, not you: how clearly the light shows true coloring, and whether a filter or a color cast looks likely. A photo it cannot trust lowers the confidence we claim instead of quietly changing the answer.
No photo handy? Estimate it from eight questions
This one asks instead of looking, so it is an estimate rather than a measurement. It walks the same three axes: temperature, depth, and chroma. Answer in daylight if you can and you get your closest season, the runner-up, and the same real palette.
This eight-question estimate runs locally in your browser: no answers are uploaded, stored, or attached to an email address. The photo measurement above is the part that uses a server, and it has its own retention note.
01 The veins on your inner wrist, in daylight, look mostly...
Look near the base of your palm. Skip makeup and fake tan.
02 Near your bare face in daylight, which metal flatters more?
Not which you prefer: which makes your skin look more even.
03 Unprotected summer sun does what to your skin first?
04 Your natural hair color (before any dye or grey) is closest to...
05 In summer sun, your hair picks up...
06 Your eye color is closest to...
07 Turn a selfie greyscale. Your hair, skin, and eyes read as...
Any phone photo filter works for this.
08 Which failure do you recognize more in your own mirror?
What the full report adds
The season is the label. The report is the plan: your face shape, best feature, hair and glasses direction, outfit formulas, and a capsule wardrobe built from your palette, with every look rendered on your own face across 15 pages. Start it from a measurement above and the color questions are already answered.
Questions
Is this color analysis actually free?+−
Both halves are. The photo measurement gives you your season, your palette, and the values it read off your face, with no email and no account. The eight-question estimate runs entirely in your browser and nothing you answer is uploaded or stored. The paid product is the full 15-page report, which takes your season onto your own face.
How accurate is a color analysis quiz?+−
A quiz is as accurate as your self-observation. It reads the three axes that define the 12 seasons (temperature, depth, chroma) from your answers, which works well when your traits are clear and struggles on border cases like Soft Summer vs Soft Autumn, where people misjudge their own undertone. That is why the result names a runner-up and links the exact comparison guide.
What are the 12 color seasons?+−
Four families (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) each split three ways, by whether your coloring is lighter or deeper and clearer or softer. Every season has its own best colors, neutrals, and colors to skip. Each result links to the full palette guide with copyable hex codes.
How is this different from a paid color analysis?+−
This page measures your season and hands you the palette to shop with. The paid report starts where this stops: it renders those exact colors on your own face across 15 pages and goes past color into face shape, best feature, hair and glasses direction, outfit formulas, and a capsule wardrobe built from your palette.
What happens to my photo?+−
It is stored for up to 7 days so your full report can reuse it without asking you to upload it twice, then it is deleted automatically. You can delete it immediately from your result with one press. It is never sold and never used to train anything.
