How to take a photo that gives a reliable result
  • Daylight, facing a window. Overhead bulbs are warm and will push the reading warm.
  • No makeup, especially no foundation. It is the single largest source of error.
  • Hair back and off your face, and use the quiz instead if your hair is dyed far from its natural colour.
  • No filter, no beauty mode, and nothing brightly coloured near your face.

The Seattle market

Seattle has a strong personal styling scene and a real concentration of Korean style personal color studios, particularly on the Eastside. The famous grey light is genuinely useful for this: diffuse overcast daylight is the closest everyday approximation of a professional viewing condition, which is why self analysis tends to work better here than in sunnier cities. The Korean style studios on the Eastside typically work with much larger drape sets than a general image consultant, which is the format that actually settles a borderline case rather than just naming a season.

What to ask before you book

  • Which system do you use? A four season analyst and a twelve season analyst will give you different answers and different palettes.
  • Do you drape with physical fabric, or work from photographs? The drape is the part no online tool can replicate, and the part you are paying for.
  • What do I leave with? Physical swatches you can take shopping are worth considerably more than a PDF.
  • What is your experience across skin depths? It is a fair question and the answer is informative either way.

The test on this page measures your undertone, depth and clarity and returns one of twelve seasons with a confidence score and the reasoning behind it. If it comes back confident, and the twelve question quiz agrees with it, you already have the answer a session in Seattle would give you. If the two disagree, you are near a border, and that is exactly the case where a professional drape earns its price.
