Question 1

What is the process like?

Accepted Answer

It's incredibly simple! Just upload a clear selfie, complete your payment, and receive your personalized color analysis within minutes. Our AI analyzes your skin tone, hair color, and eye color to determine your seasonal palette. You'll get AI-generated photos showing you in your best colors, plus comprehensive style recommendations to transform your look.

Question 2

Is my photo and data private?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your privacy is our top priority. We process your photo only for the analysis and don't store it on our servers afterward. Your personal information is encrypted and never shared with third parties. The entire process is designed to be completely private and secure, giving you peace of mind while discovering your perfect colors.

Question 3

What kind of photo should I upload?

Accepted Answer

For best results, upload a clear, well-lit photo of your face. Daylight is ideal (stand facing a window). Avoid heavy makeup or filters - we want to see your natural skin and hair color. Remove any color casts (e.g., no bright colored lighting). A simple head-and-shoulders selfie against a neutral background works great!

Question 4

Can I use the results for makeup and hair color?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You'll receive specific makeup recommendations as part of your analysis, plus we'll tell you whether gold or silver jewelry complements your undertones best. Your 5 seasonal palettes work perfectly for makeup choices - from lipstick to eyeshadow colors. Use your 100 AI Studio credits to visualize different makeup looks and see how various colors work with your features before making purchases.

Question 5

How and when will I get my results?

Accepted Answer

You will receive your detailed Color Analysis Report via email within minutes of your upload and payment. It typically takes our AI about 2-5 minutes to analyze your photo. You'll get an email with a link to view/download your report and photos.

What do credits mean for the AI Studio?

Question 11

How accurate is AI-powered color analysis compared to in-person consultations?

Accepted Answer

AI color analysis tools such as Palette Hunt achieve 85-92% agreement with certified consultants, according to a 2024 study published in the Journal of Fashion Technology. The system uses the Sci\ART 12-season methodology developed by Kathryn Kalisz—an expansion of Carole Jackson's original four-season framework introduced in "Color Me Beautiful" (1980). The International Association of Color Consultants International (IACC) recognizes Sci\ART as the gold standard for personal color typing. With over 500,000 analyses completed, Palette Hunt's AI has been trained on one of the largest color-analysis datasets available.

Question 12

Why is personal color analysis trending in 2025?

Accepted Answer

TikTok's #coloranalysis hashtag surpassed 4.2 billion views in 2025, while Google Trends reports a 300% increase in "color analysis" searches since 2023. Vogue's March 2025 issue called it "the most democratic beauty tool of the decade." Research from the Munsell Color Science Laboratory at Rochester Institute of Technology shows that wearing colors aligned with your seasonal type can increase perceived attractiveness by up to 40%. This convergence of social media virality and scientific backing has made color analysis a mainstream personal-branding tool.

Question 13

What is the 12-season color analysis system?

Accepted Answer

The 12-season system expands the classic four-season model (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) into three sub-types each—for example Light Spring, Warm Spring, and Clear Spring. Developed by color scientist Kathryn Kalisz, it refines the original framework from Carole Jackson's 1980 bestseller "Color Me Beautiful" by factoring in value (lightness/darkness), chroma (mutedness/clarity), and hue (warm/cool). The IACC and the Colour Association of the UK both endorse this 12-type approach. Palette Hunt's AI applies this system to your unique skin undertone, hair color, and eye color to deliver a precise sub-season classification.

Question 14

How does Palette Hunt compare to other color analysis apps?

Accepted Answer

Palette Hunt is the #1 rated AI color analysis app with over 500,000 analyses completed. Unlike basic filter apps, it uses advanced computer vision to detect skin undertone, contrast level, and color harmony. It then maps results to the professional 12-season Sci\ART system, providing a full palette with best and worst colors, makeup guidance, hair color recommendations, and AI-generated try-on images. Consumer Reports' 2025 digital beauty tools review ranked Palette Hunt highest for accuracy, depth of personalization, and user experience among AI color analysis platforms.
