Color Season AI

The story

Color Season AI is an AI-powered personal color analysis tool that determines your seasonal color palette from a single selfie. The tool analyzes your skin undertone, depth, and chroma to place you into one of 12 color seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter with three sub-types each. Users receive a personalized palette with best colors for clothing, makeup, and accessories, plus colors to avoid.

The service offers one free AI color analysis per day without requiring an account. Beyond that, users purchase credits in packs ranging from $2.90 for 1 run to $9.90 for 7 runs. An optional Color Handbook ($12.90) provides in-depth styling guidance written specifically from your analysis results. The AI pipeline measures skin tone using Google MediaPipe in the browser, then uses Google's Gemma 4 vision model on Cloudflare to estimate undertone (warm/cool/neutral), depth (light/dark), and chroma (muted/clear), achieving approximately 80% accuracy on well-lit selfies.

Questions

How accurate is the AI color season analysis?

The AI color season analysis achieves approximately 80% accuracy on clear, well-lit selfies, landing on the user's season or the one directly next to it. Photo lighting genuinely affects results—warm indoor bulbs, heavy filters, and hard shadows are the most likely factors to push results into the wrong season. The tool flags these conditions instead of quietly guessing, and documentation of the full pipeline and known failure cases is available on the methodology page.

What is the best lighting for my selfie?

Natural, indirect daylight provides the AI color analysis with the most information to work with. Users should avoid direct sun which throws hard shadows, and yellow or fluorescent lights which distort natural undertones.

Can my color season change over time?

The fundamental seasonal category based on skin undertone generally stays the same even as people age or their hair color changes. However, the specific best colors within a season may shift slightly as a person grows older.

Is the AI color analysis free?

One AI color analysis per day runs free without an account. Beyond that, each analysis costs 3 credits. A free account starts with 3 credits at signup, and checking in adds 1 credit per day. Browser-side tools like the quiz remain free.

Do credits expire?

Credits purchased never expire. Free credits (the 3 at signup and the 1 per day from check-ins) last 30 days and you can hold at most 9 unspent. Spending always uses free credits first, then purchased ones.
