Questions

Before you start

Five things readers ask before trusting a screen with their coloring. Short answers, no hedging.

How accurate is an online color analysis quiz?

It is a useful starting point, not a professional in-person draping. The quiz reads undertone, depth, contrast, and clarity from your answers. Lighting, camera color, hair dye, and personal preference can all shift the result. Use it to narrow the field, then test the palette against your face in daylight.

Do I need to upload a photo?

No. The Color Studio does not use a selfie. Phone cameras white-balance skin automatically, which makes pixel-based photo analysis unreliable. The quiz stays in your browser and never uploads a photo.

How long does the color analysis take?

About three minutes. There are ten questions, and your answers are saved on your device so you can go back and change one.

What if two seasons feel equally close?

Read both season guides and compare the metals first. If gold and rose gold clearly win, start with the warmer season. If silver and cool taupes win, start with the cooler one. The result page also shows your runner-up.

Is the color quiz free?

Yes. The result, palette card, and PDF are free. There is no email gate and no account. The newsletter is optional.
