Your Color Palette

A complete sample report

This is an entire $9 report, unedited, for Soft Summer, laid out exactly like the one you get, from the same data. It is built on one example reading, so you can read the whole format end to end before you pay. Your report is the same thing in your season, measured from your own face.

What is built from your own photo

Three sections are measured from your face. The stage below shows them on an example photo; in your report they are you. None is held back as an upsell, the first is free:

Your face draped against all twelve palettes
Your face is cut out of its background and shown against every palette side by side, the nearest a browser gets to the fabric test an analyst does under your chin. You see this one free, before you pay anything.
All twelve seasons scored against your reading
Not just your season: every season ranked from best to worst against your measured reading, and each one draped on your own face with a tap, so you can see which came close and try it on for yourself.
What was measured from your photo
The actual skin, hair and iris colors sampled from your face, as swatches you can check against a mirror. If a swatch looks wrong, the reading was wrong, and you can see that for yourself rather than taking the result on trust.
Sample full report

Soft Summer

65% confidence

Soft Summer is defined by mutedness rather than temperature. The coloring is gentle and blended, with medium depth and low contrast, and the palette is everything with a little gray mixed in: dusty rose, sage, soft teal, mushroom. Anything clear or vivid immediately looks like it is wearing the person.

The confidence dial is illustrative here. In your report it starts low on one photo and climbs as you add more in different light.

An example face draped against the Soft Summer palette
Your cut-out face floats over your palette, and over any of the twelve, so you see the drape on yourself, not on a model.

Every palette, grouped by how likely it is to be yours, from your best match down to the one that fights you. In your report each drapes on your face with a tap.

The reading, on a wheel

One of these, narrowing to one

One photo places you among six likely sub-seasons. Add more in different light and the wheel narrows to three, then to the one at the top, Soft Summer. (The face shown is an example.)

Shown on an example photo. In your report this is your own face, and the reading is measured from it.

Same sweater, two dye-lots. The dusty rose on the left is yours; pull it warmer and more golden and it starts fighting your skin instead of lighting it. This is the difference you stop guessing at.

Frequently asked

Is this the real report, or a cut-down preview?

It is the real thing, rendered from the same data, and the same wardrobe components, as a purchased report, with nothing removed and nothing added. It is shown for Soft Summer, on an example photo, so the parts that are personal to you, the draping view, the twelve-season ranking against your own reading, and the swatches measured from your photo, use that example rather than you. Yours is the same report, measured from your own face.

Why Soft Summer?

It is a common, relatable season, so the sample reads like a real report rather than an edge case. Nothing here is a paid secret either, every Soft Summer palette is already public on the season pages. What you actually pay for is the report being about you: your face draped against each palette, your twelve-season ranking, and your confidence, all measured from your own photo.

Why show the whole thing away for free?

Because the alternative is asking you to pay $9 to a site you have never heard of for something you cannot see. Showing one season in full costs us very little, the palettes are already public on the twelve season pages, and it means nobody buys this on a hopeful guess about what is inside.

What if I buy it and my season turns out to be wrong?

Reply to your receipt and it is refunded, within 30 days, with no form and nothing to justify. Color analysis is a framework rather than a science with one right answer, and being borderline between two neighboring seasons is common, which is why the result always shows you the runner-up and the size of the gap instead of a single confident verdict.

Read more about Soft Summer, free

None of this is behind the paywall as reference material, the Soft Summer hub and its palette, celebrity, hair, makeup, outfit and colors-to-avoid pages are free and will stay free. So is the comparison with the season it is most often confused with. What you pay for is the report being about you rather than about a season.

If you are weighing this against a consultant, the online versus in-person comparison is honest about which parts of a $150–$500 session a website genuinely cannot replace.

Find out which season is yours

One photo and a few quick questions, about three minutes. Your season, your confidence score, the runner-up, a starter palette and the draping view are free, no account, and your photo never leaves your device. The full report above is $9, with a 30-day no-questions refund.
