A complete sample report

This is an entire $19 report, unedited, for Soft Autumn — the season the most people arrive here looking for. Read all of it. Then decide whether you want your own.

What is different in a real one

Three sections cannot appear in a sample, because they do not exist until someone takes the analysis. They are not held back as an upsell — the first of them 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, with a chart showing where each one sits relative to you on all three axes — so you can see which came close, and which axis is the reason a season lost.
What was measured from your photo
The actual skin, hair and iris colours 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 Autumn

Soft Autumn is the muted, gently warm season that sits between Soft Summer and True Autumn. The colouring is blended and medium in depth, with warmth that whispers rather than shouts. Its palette is everything sun-faded: camel, sage, salmon, soft terracotta and warm mushroom.

Colours to avoid

And exactly why each one works against this colouring.

  • Black #000000

    Too deep and too cold — it drops a hard line under a soft, blended face.

  • Pure white #FFFFFF

    Optically brighter than the skin can match; soft cream is the fix.

  • Hot pink #FF4081

    Cool and vivid — wrong on both the temperature and clarity axes.

  • Icy turquoise #00E5FF

    The clarity is jarring next to muted colouring.

  • Burgundy #7A2048

    Blue-based and heavy; muted rust reads far better.

  • Cool silver grey #C0C0C0

    Adds a grey cast without any of the warmth Soft Autumn needs.

Makeup

Lipstick

  • Soft terracotta
  • Muted rose
  • Warm nude

Blush

  • Soft peach
  • Warm rose
  • Muted apricot

Eyeshadow

  • Moss gold
  • Warm mushroom
  • Soft teal

Metals: Matte gold, Antique brass, Rose gold. Foundation: look for warm or golden in the shade name, test along the jaw in daylight, and check again after ten minutes — foundation oxidises.

Hair

  • Dark golden blonde#B79B6E
  • Soft caramel#9E8055
  • Mousy golden brown#8A6E4E
  • Warm chestnut#A67B5B
  • Bronde#C4A67C

Ask for a tone on the warm/golden side and stay within a couple of shades of your natural depth. Dark blonde to soft golden or mousy brown, with dusty warmth.

The capsule wardrobe

Start with Soft cream and Camel as the base — trousers, a coat, shoes and a bag. That is four pieces that go with everything else here.

Add four tops or knits in salmon, soft terracotta, muted rust and warm rose beige. These sit near the face, which is where colour does almost all of its work.

Finish with one statement piece in dusty brick. Twelve items, every combination works, and nothing in the wardrobe fights the colouring.

In a real report this is built on your two best neutrals, which are not always the season’s first two — they are chosen from where your own reading sits on the three axes.

The palette card

One picture with the whole palette, the hex codes, your neutrals and what to leave on the rail. This is the actual card, drawn from the same data as the report above.

Your browser could not draw the card image. Everything in it is on this page already — use Print or save as PDF at the top of the report instead.

Frequently asked

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

It is the real thing, rendered from the same data as a purchased report, with nothing removed and nothing added. The only difference is that it is Soft Autumn rather than your season, and it is missing the three personalised sections — the draping view, the twelve-season ranking against your own reading, and the swatches measured from your photo — because those do not exist until someone takes the analysis. Those three are described above so the sample neither oversells nor undersells what you get.

Why show the whole thing away for free?

Because the alternative is asking you to pay $19 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. Colour analysis is a framework rather than a science with one right answer, and being borderline between two neighbouring 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.

How is this different from just reading the Soft Autumn page?

The Soft Autumn page and its sub-pages cover the palette, the celebrities, the hair and makeup recommendations, and they are free and will stay free. What the report adds is that it is about you: your measured position on the three axes, your confidence score, your runner-up, your face against the palettes, and a capsule plan built on your two best neutrals rather than the season's generic ones. If you already know for certain that you are a Soft Autumn, the free pages may be all you need.

None of this is behind the paywall as reference material — the Soft Autumn hub and its palette, celebrity, hair, makeup, outfit and colours-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.
