The 12 color seasons

Four seasons are just the start. Each one splits into three subtypes that differ in temperature, lightness and color saturation, each with its own palette.

How the Virtual Analysis Works

In our virtual color analysis, the algorithm measures your skin's undertone, your contrast, and the depth of your coloring, then identifies one of 12 color seasons. The whole thing takes just a few minutes.

  1. 1

    Upload one selfie

    Take it in daylight, by a window or outside, ideally on a slightly overcast day (soft light casts no harsh shadows). Avoid light bulbs: their warm light (about 2700-3000 K) yellows the skin and distorts your undertone; daylight sits around 5500-6500 K. Hair tied back, no makeup, no filters.

    Sample selfie for color analysis: daylight, hair tied backDaylight

    The AI runs a digital draping

    Just like a color consultant holds fabric up to your face, the algorithm tries colors from different color families against your photo and checks which ones make your skin glow and which ones wash you out. You'll see the key comparisons in your report, on your own face.

    Digital draping: dusty blue, flattering colorGood
    Digital draping: powder pink, flattering colorGood
    Digital draping: pale green, unflattering colorAvoid

The basics

What Is Color Analysis?

Color analysis, also called personal color analysis or seasonal color analysis, is a method of matching your clothing, makeup, and hair colors to your natural coloring: your skin's undertone (warm or cool), its lightness, and your contrast. Based on these, you get one of 12 color seasons, each with its own palette of colors that light up your face, and ones that dull it.

Spring3 variants
Summer3 variants
Autumn3 variants
Winter3 variants

The method comes from classic seasonal analysis: four seasons, each in three variants that differ in temperature, lightness, and saturation. Once you know your season, you know what to pull off the rack, which lipstick and hair color to pick, and which colors to leave behind without regret.

The free color analysis quiz asks a few questions about your coloring and points you in a direction: your season and likely subtype. The real analysis measures your coloring from your photo and shows the result on you. Honestly put: the quiz makes an educated guess from your answers; the AI measures your photo and proves it with visualizations.

How Was the Paleta Method Created?

12Seasonal color analysisthe method color consultants use worldwide
AIMeasured from your photothe same traits draping checks
QAQuality controlevery report is checked automatically

Paleta combines classic seasonal color analysis (the 12-season method color consultants use worldwide) with AI measurement: the model analyzes the same traits in your photo that a consultant assesses with fabric drapes. We tuned the algorithm on photos analyzed in parallel by a human and the model, and every report goes through automated quality control. To be honest: an accurate result needs a photo in natural light, without filters or heavy makeup.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?
The full report is $49, one time. No subscription.
What do I need?
Just one selfie in natural light. No sign-up required.
What do I get?
Nine pages: your color season, digital draping, gold or silver, a personal color palette, step-by-step makeup, hair and hairstyles, and your best look.
What about my photo?
We analyze it privately to create your report, never share it, and delete it after 30 days.
How much does a color analysis cost?
An in-person session in the US typically costs $250-400 (80-120 minutes), with premium NYC studios up to $545; virtual consultations with a human analyst run $147-249. The Paleta report costs $49 and is built from a single photo in minutes.
Is a color analysis worth it?
If you regularly stand in front of a full closet feeling like nothing works, yes: knowing your season turns shopping and getting dressed into quick decisions, helps you avoid purchases you never wear, and makes your face look fresher without more makeup. The palette pays for itself in avoided mistakes.
Can ChatGPT do my color analysis?
A general chatbot can describe likely colors from a conversation, but it does not measure your photo. A dedicated AI color analysis measures your undertone, contrast, and depth directly from your selfie, assigns one of 12 seasons, and generates visualizations of the colors on your own face, which is the part a chat cannot show you.
How can I do a color analysis on myself?
The quickest home method is draping: hold clothes in different colors up to your face in daylight and watch which ones make your skin glow and which make it look gray. Check your wrist veins (greenish reads warm, blue-purple reads cool) and whether gold or silver flatters you more. An AI analysis measures the same traits instead of guessing.
Are color analyses accurate?
Yes, with one condition: a good photo. The algorithm reads the same traits a consultant checks with drapes (undertone, contrast, depth) and is trained to tell your true coloring apart from color casts in the lighting. That is why we ask for a daylight selfie without filters or heavy makeup, and request a new photo if yours will not work.
How can I get a color analysis for free?
Start with our free color analysis quiz: a few questions about your coloring give you your season and likely subtype right away, no email needed. When you want your exact season with a full palette and visualizations on your face, the AI photo analysis takes over.
Take the free quiz →
What color season am I?
Your season follows from three traits: your skin's undertone (warm or cool), how light or deep your coloring is, and how much contrast there is between your skin, hair, and eyes. You can estimate it with our free quiz, or have the AI measure all three from your selfie and name your exact season out of 12.

What is the rarest color season?
Clear, high-contrast seasons like Bright Spring and Bright Winter are generally the rarest, while soft, muted seasons are the most common. That is exactly why so many people wear colors meant for the vivid seasons that quietly overpower their natural coloring.
Is this the same as a Korean color analysis?
Yes, it rests on the same foundation. The Korean personal color studios that made the service famous work with the same seasonal system of undertone, depth, and contrast. Paleta applies that 12-season method through AI, so you get the studio-style result from one selfie, without flying to Seoul.
