Question 1

Is this a subscription?

Accepted Answer

No — it's a one-time payment, no subscription. You get your full color analysis plus credits to preview real looks on yourself: photoshoots, hair color, makeup, and outfits. Pay once, and everything you create is yours to keep.

Question 2

Will the previews actually look like me, or like a generic AI portrait?

Accepted Answer

Previews are rendered on your own selfie — your face, your features, your skin. They're photoreal, not stylized. Upload a clear, well-lit selfie and you'll see the look on you, not on a model.

Question 3

Is the color analysis really free?

Accepted Answer

Upload a selfie and we generate your personalized color analysis in minutes — your season, your 30-color palette, undertone analysis, and makeup recommendations. From there, the studio lets you preview real looks on your own face: photoshoots, hair color, makeup, and outfits. One-time payment, no subscription.

Question 4

What are credits and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Credits power the studio previews. A hair-color or makeup try is about 5 credits, and a photoshoot is from about 5 credits per image (higher-quality renders cost more). Each plan includes a one-time credit pack — Essential 15, Complete 400, Studio Pro 1500 — and your credits are yours to keep, with no subscription and no monthly reset.

Question 5

Is it really one-time? Will I be charged again?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you pay once and that's it. There's no subscription and no recurring charge. Your analysis, your credits, and every look you create stay yours forever.

Question 6

Do my credits expire?

Accepted Answer

Never — your credits don't expire. They're part of a one-time purchase, so whatever you don't use stays in your account for whenever you want to try a new look.

Question 7

Do I lose my analysis or previews if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Never. Your color analysis, your palette, and every preview you've generated stay accessible on your account forever — even on the free tier.

Question 8

Is my photo private?

Accepted Answer

Your privacy is our top priority. Your photo is encrypted, used only to render your previews, and never shared with third parties. Your features stay yours.

Question 9

What kind of photo should I upload?

Accepted Answer

A clear, well-lit selfie in natural daylight (stand facing a window). No heavy makeup, no filters — we want your real features. A simple head-and-shoulders shot against a neutral background works best.

Question 10

What's the difference between Essential, Complete, and Studio Pro?

Accepted Answer

All are one-time purchases. Essential ($19) is your full color analysis. Complete ($29, most popular) adds the AI studio with 400 credits and 1 free analysis redo — enough to preview yourself across photoshoots, hair, and makeup. Studio Pro ($59) gives 1500 credits and 3 free redos for big moments like weddings, a photoshoot, or a full style refresh. No subscription — pay once, it's yours.

Question 11

Can men use Palette Hunt too?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Color analysis, photoshoots, hair, and outfit previews work for everyone. We render looks on your real features — gender isn't a constraint.

Question 12

Question 13

What is seasonal color analysis?

Accepted Answer

Seasonal color analysis groups palettes by undertone, lightness and color intensity into Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Palette Hunt's photo analysis estimates one of twelve seasonal types and suggests colors to explore.

Question 14

How accurate is AI-powered color analysis compared to in-person consultations?

Accepted Answer

Photo analysis offers a starting point. Lighting, camera white balance, filters, makeup and dyed hair can affect the result. Use clear, unfiltered photos in even daylight. An in-person consultation with fabric drapes can help you compare close palettes.

Question 15

Why is personal color analysis so popular?

Accepted Answer

TikTok's #coloranalysis hashtag has become hugely popular, and Google Trends shows a sharp rise in "color analysis" searches in recent years. The appeal is practical: wearing colors aligned with your seasonal type tends to even out your skin tone, brighten your eyes, and make outfits feel more cohesive—so color analysis has grown from a niche styling service into a mainstream personal-branding tool.

Question 16

What is the 16-season color analysis system?

Accepted Answer

Different methods use twelve or sixteen seasonal types, with different names and boundaries. Palette Hunt's photo analysis currently uses twelve types. Our educational guides also discuss other palette names. A higher type count alone does not establish greater accuracy.

Question 17

How does Palette Hunt compare to other color analysis apps?

Accepted Answer

Palette Hunt offers a photo-based seasonal estimate, a color palette and styling guidance, with hair, makeup and outfit previews in the studio. Its photo analysis uses twelve seasonal types. Compare apps by the features, prices and examples they currently provide; we do not claim a tested accuracy advantage over other apps.
