Sixteen color types. Measure yours for the season.

Upload one photograph. This photo will measure the color of your skin, hair and eyes. It corrects for lighting differences, and returns a four letter type with a color palette that complements your color analysis.

Let's get started

Hold a sheet of plain white paper against your face. Ordinary US letter, 8.5 by 11 inches, held so the long edge touches just in front of your right ear and the sheet runs down beside your jaw.

Either side works. What matters is that the paper is touching your face and lit by the same light that is on your skin. Try facing a north facing window without indirect light if you can.

A camera cannot tell your skin color apart from your lighting. The white paper is a neutral reference, so it can be divided out.
Turn the ceiling light off and put the light in front of your face. A window or a lamp at roughly eye level, facing you. Overhead light is the one that quietly ruins this: your brow casts a shadow straight into your eye sockets, your eye color measures far darker than it is, and that alone changes one of your four letters. Before you upload, look at your own eyes in the photo. If they read as two dark holes rather than a color, take it again.
One light source, not two. Not backlit by a window, not half in shade. Two different lights in one frame means no single correction is right for all of it.
No camera filters, no makeup, hair back if you can. Phone cameras retouch skin by default, and we're trying to capture the unfiltered color of your skin.

Nothing is uploaded. The measuring runs in this tab, and closing it leaves no trace. There is no account and there is nothing to pay for.

Step two · what was found

Green is skin, pink is hair, blue is the iris, yellow is the neutral reference. If any of these is on the wrong thing, the reading will be wrong too.

Step three · the one question

Everything else here is measured. This is the only thing a photograph cannot contain, and it moves two of your four letters.

Natural~~the color you grew~~ Colored or highlighted~~dyed, lightened, toned~~ Gray or graying~~going silver, not dyed~~

Why this one, and why only this one

Hair carries about a third of the depth measurement and is one of the three points contrast is measured between, so a bottle of dye moves two of your letters and nothing in the image reveals that it happened.

Your answer never changes a letter. It changes how durable that letter is reported to be.

We tested asking whether your coloring is lighter or deeper than the people you grew up around, and dropped it. It only helps people already sitting near a boundary, and the people the depth axis serves worst are nowhere near one.
