PROFESSIONAL COLOR ANALYSIS
VS DIY METHODS
If you've been searching for "affordable seasonal color analysis" or "how to DIY your palette," you're probably feeling one thing: confused.
Most DIY methods rely on awkward selfies, conflicting Reddit opinions, and lighting that changes every five seconds. It's no wonder so many people end up more overwhelmed than enlightened.
Colorwhee was built for people who want clarity—not categories. It's not color analysis. It's color awareness.

We tried so many DIY methods ourselves: held up fabric in front of our faces, posted a "what season am I?" series of ultra-serious selfies in Facebook Groups and Subreddits, used the eyedropper tool to pick out colors from our faces to give to chatGPT for an analysis.
Here's why DIY color analysis and color analysis apps fail:
Inconsistent lighting messes with your perception
Your phone camera isn't color-accurate (even with filters off)
Looking at a static image of your face surrounded by different colors makes it hard to see subtle differences
So even if you're close, you still might not feel confident.
Side-by-side comparisons using your real features, all in clean, color-consistent lighting
Every image is generated with the same background, light source, and neutral styling so you can actually see what changes when a color shifts
This isn't about being "typed." It's about training your eye to see the difference
We help you notice which shades brighten your eyes, smooth your skin, and make you say, "Wait. That's me"
We create consistent, color-corrected portraits using your features. No drapes, no filters.
You'll see them side-by-side. And you'll start to notice patterns.
You're in charge. We don't crown you a Soft Autumn, your selections do.
In-person color draping can cost hundreds, and still leave you unsure. Colorwhee is an affordable, pressure-free way to start seeing yourself clearly in color.
