The free test

Find your season by a window.

No photo and no email. A mirror, a window and a gray strip, in about six minutes.

This test needs JavaScript to run. Turn it on and reload this page, and your card will build in about 6 minutes.

Without JavaScript you can still print the gray strip and color cards or read about the 12 seasons.

02 How it works

How the test works.

The light and the strip stay the same, so you can repeat it at home.

  1. Stand at a mirror.

    Close enough to see your whole face.

  2. Face a window, in daylight.

    Lamps off, so one light falls on you.

  3. Match the gray strip, then compare a few tops.

    Look at your face, not at the color.

The method, step by step

03 Questions

Questions

Is the color analysis test really free?

Yes. Your Palette Card is free, with no email and no account. The email form on the card is only for the newsletter, if you want it.

Why no photo?

Light, the camera and filters change your color in a photo, which is why apps can give you a different season each time. A fixed gray strip by a window is something you can repeat at home.

Does it work for deep, olive, tan and fair skin?

Yes. The test reads depth, clarity and temperature on their own, so no skin tone is filed under one season. Each season page has notes for deep, olive, medium to tan and fair skin.

What if I land between two seasons?

The card says so and shows both, with how sure it is. Wear what works from either, and use the paper check in your season page to compare them by a window.

Do my answers leave my device?

No. The test runs in your browser. A copy of your step and answers stays on your device for up to 14 days, so you can pick up later, and nothing is sent. Your result goes in the page address only so you can copy the link to your card.

04 Short on time?

One minute, one answer.

Two short tools for a day with no window.
