The best AI color analysis tool for you depends on what you want back. For a free season, What Colors Suit Me or Colorwise; for an app with makeup and hair, Dressika or Palette Hunt; for the most pictures of yourself, ColorAnalysisTech; for your colors and your body together, with a reason for every verdict, Wearly Labs, which we make.
On this page
We build one of these tools, so we are not a neutral party. A roundup written by one of the products in it will tend to favor that product, and ours is no exception. So here is the version we would want to read: every tool below, what it does better than us, and who should pick it instead.
Which tool should I use?
- A season for nothing: What Colors Suit Me, which gives a season estimate and a 12-color palette with no signup, or the free analysis on Colorwise's website.
- A small one-time price: Colorwise's My Best Colors, 14.99 dollars for lifetime premium, or What Colors Suit Me's handbook, 9 dollars, a launch price.
- Your colors on your phone, with makeup and hair: Dressika.
- Yourself in your colors, in AI photos: Palette Hunt.
- The most pictures for one price: ColorAnalysisTech, 144 draping photos and 14 outfits for 39 dollars.
- The clothes you already own: Acloset, or Style DNA if you also want a body type guide and shopping.
- Your colors and your body together, with a verdict and its reason for every color and cut, for men as much as for women, and a profile you can hand to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini: that is what we built.

Where the others beat us
Each of them does something better than we do. Here is what.
Most of them let you start for free, and we do not. What Colors Suit Me gives you a season estimate and a 12-color palette with no signup, Colorwise runs a free analysis on its website, and ColorAnalysisTech shows your two most likely seasons before you pay. Dressika, Style DNA and Acloset are free to download. For someone who only wants a season name, that is reason enough not to buy from us.
Colorwise is cheaper than us and it is not close. 14.99 once, for lifetime premium in its app, with a draping studio on its website and a community forum, from a company that says it has done digital color analysis since 2017. If budget is the deciding factor and you want an established tool, this is the answer.
What Colors Suit Me costs less than Colorwise, Palette Hunt, ColorAnalysisTech or us. Nine dollars, a launch price as of October 2026, buys a handbook with a 24-color palette, outfit formulas, silhouette advice, hair, makeup, metals and a shopping guide; the season, a 12-color palette and six AI portraits of you are free. It also publishes more about how it works than any other tool here, down to the AI models it runs. On price per output it beats us outright.
Three of them answer in about a minute or less. What Colors Suit Me says its analysis takes about 20 seconds, Style DNA says 35 seconds and ColorAnalysisTech about a minute, and Palette Hunt's terms say results typically arrive within 2 to 5 minutes. Your Wearly Labs page usually arrives within 10 minutes. If you want an answer in under a minute, one of those three is the faster route.
ColorAnalysisTech generates more images. 144 draping photos and 14 outfits rendered on you for 39, against our six outfit images, and its separate outfit generator makes about 30. If you want the maximum number of pictures for your money, they win that count. Our side by side: Wearly Labs vs ColorAnalysisTech.
Palette Hunt, Dressika and ColorAnalysisTech cover makeup and hair. We do neither. Palette Hunt goes furthest: AI photos of you in your colors, with hair color and makeup previews. Dressika lists 170 makeup shades and 180 hair colors, and ColorAnalysisTech's profile includes hair and makeup previews. If you want your palette applied to lipstick and hair color, they have a feature we simply do not have. Our side by side: Wearly Labs vs Palette Hunt.
Palette Hunt and ColorAnalysisTech give you a second try. Palette Hunt's terms offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you have not used any AI Studio credits, and ColorAnalysisTech's terms offer a free re-analysis with new photos taken in natural daylight. We do not refund a delivered analysis as a rule; if yours does not arrive, is incomplete or is clearly wrong, we regenerate it, fix it or refund you (contact).
Acloset and Style DNA start from the clothes you already own. Both turn photos of your closet into outfits, and Acloset's AI stylist adds a personal color and fit diagnosis. Ours is an analysis, not a wardrobe app. If your problem is combining what is already in your closet, a wardrobe tool solves that better than we do.
Five of them are phone apps, and we are a website. Dressika, Style DNA, Acloset, Palette Hunt and Colorwise all have apps on the App Store, and Palette Hunt's listing is in 17 languages. Your Wearly Labs page opens in a browser, anytime, on any device. If you want the analysis to live on your home screen, that is a real difference.
What we do differently
A white reference in every photo. In October 2026 we read what each tool tells you to do with the photo, on its own site and in its store listing. The ones that give instructions ask for good light: Dressika for daylight, facing a window, Palette Hunt for natural daylight, facing a window, ColorAnalysisTech for "a phone selfie in decent light", and Colorwise for a clear headshot in good light, with an optional Color Correction step if the light gives your photo a color cast. What Colors Suit Me goes furthest: it asks for up to three selfies in different light, suggests a plain white or gray background and top, and says its AI corrects for lighting temperature in software.
None of them asks you to hold a known white in the frame. Your phone has already decided what white is and your room light has already shifted your skin, and an uncorrected photo carries both errors into the result. We ask for a sheet of white paper next to your face in the first photo and read every photo against it, so the correction starts from a white we know is white. It costs you a piece of printer paper. How to take the photos.
Fixed rules make the call. AI reads your photos and answers, a scoring system with fixed rules makes every call, and your answers weigh the most. Because the rules are fixed, the same readings lead to the same call every time. Of the others, What Colors Suit Me says the most about how it decides: a vision model, prompted with the 12 seasons, classifies your photos, and its page names the model. The rest say what they read, mostly undertone, depth and contrast, and several say what their model was trained on, from "thousands of professional draping results" (Dressika) to "a large library of analyses" (Palette Hunt). Ours is on the method page, with a dated changelog. In the sample analysis, the real result of our co-founder Filip, the photos alone pointed to True Autumn. His answers settled Deep Autumn, and his page says so in plain words.
A verdict and its reason for every color and cut. A palette tells you which navy. It does not tell you whether the jacket should be structured, where the trousers sit, or which neckline stops working on you. Style DNA, ColorAnalysisTech and What Colors Suit Me give body or silhouette advice too. We give every one of 50 colors and 125+ cuts a verdict, Wear, Depends or Skip, with its reason, and the same for 20+ materials and 20+ patterns. For a color, Depends means below the waist or as an accent only; for a cut, it names the condition. On the sample analysis, 11 of the 50 colors are Wear, 22 are Depends and 17 are Skip. Seven of Filip's verdicts, in the words his page uses:
| On the sample analysis | Verdict | The reason on the page |
|---|---|---|
| Rust | Wear | Warm, dark and softened just like your own natural coloring. |
| Ivory | Wear | A warm, soft neutral that gives your darker colors somewhere to rest. |
| Khaki | Depends | Too soft in depth for your face, it settles fine on the lower body. |
| Royal blue | Skip | It cools your skin down. |
| Heavy tee | Wear | Straight seams follow your frame, so it hangs clean without pulling anywhere. |
| Henley | Depends | In a longer cut. Placket and sleeve both follow your build, so the shirt hangs without strain. |
| Boxy oversized t-shirt | Skip | Dropped shoulders and a boxy body bury your own outline under loose fabric. |
A profile any AI assistant can read. You get a plain Markdown file you paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Then any AI assistant can advise on a specific garment while it already knows your palette, your shape and your line. Several of the tools above have an AI stylist of their own (Style DNA, Acloset, Palette Hunt, ColorAnalysisTech's Style Club and Colorwise's Wardling app), and Palette Hunt, ColorAnalysisTech and What Colors Suit Me let you download your result. As of October 2026 we could not find one that describes a file written for another AI assistant to read. If that has changed, tell us and we will update this line. How the AI profile works.
Men, with a library of their own. We keep two cut libraries, 125+ cuts for women and 125+ for men, and the questionnaire asks which one to use. The sample analysis is a man's: a Trapezoid shape with a medium line. More in color analysis for men.
How to pick without reading all of this again
Ask one question: do you want a label, or do you want instructions? A season name is a label. Most tools here sell labels well and cheaply, and some give them away. If a label is enough, take a free one and stop there. If you want instructions, judge the paid output, not the free one: how many colors and cuts get a verdict, whether each verdict comes with a reason, and whether you can take the result with you. If your coloring sits between two seasons, or you want a person to hold fabric against your face, a draping session is the better call; AI color analysis vs a professional consultation compares the two.
Check any result in a mirror
Whatever a tool tells you, test two of its verdicts yourself. Stand facing a window in daylight, makeup off, in a plain white or gray top. Hold a color the tool calls yours under your chin, then one it says to avoid, and look at your skin, not the fabric. The right one leaves your skin looking even and clear; the wrong one makes it look gray, flushed or tired. If two tools disagree, pick one color that only the first marks as yours and one that only the second does, and hold both up. In a shop, the sample analysis gives Filip the same test in one line: hold the piece against your skin in daylight, and if it still looks rich and warm rather than washed out, it is yours to take home.
The AI profile: common questions
They are as good as the photo they read, and none of the seven links to a test of itself against professional colorists. Dressika's store listing says its analysis has shown "up to 97% accuracy based on validation from color consultants", and we could not find that validation published. Palette Hunt's FAQ says AI tools such as itself "can reach a high degree of agreement with trained consultants", while What Colors Suit Me says it has not published a controlled comparison and that no accuracy percentage is established. We publish no accuracy figure for ours either. What moves a result most is the photo: the light it was taken in, the white balance your phone chose, makeup and filters. The system matters too: Palette Hunt sorts people into 16 seasons, Dressika, Style DNA, ColorAnalysisTech, Colorwise and What Colors Suit Me into 12, so the same face can come back with two different names. A white reference in the frame removes one of the biggest sources of disagreement: the light.
Usually the light, sometimes an edited or filtered photo, sometimes a different system (12 seasons against 16), and occasionally a face that sits on the border between two neighboring seasons. Colorwise says the same about its own results: inconsistent results usually mean your coloring is between two color types, and it suggests repeating the analysis several times and taking the palette that comes back most often. Look at what the two answers share. Neighbors share most of their qualities: True Autumn and Deep Autumn share warmth and saturation and differ in depth, so landing on both means your coloring sits near that border. If the answers share nothing, warm in one and cool in the other, suspect the photo and reshoot in daylight, then run the mirror check above.
Most of them have something free, as of October 2026. What Colors Suit Me gives a season estimate, a 12-color palette and six AI portraits with no signup. Colorwise runs a free analysis on its website, where you pick your skin, hair and eye colors from your own photo. ColorAnalysisTech gives a free season estimate and a free virtual draping of all 12 seasons, and its Style Club starts with 7 days free. Palette Hunt offers free quizzes and a body shape calculator. Dressika, Style DNA and Palette Hunt's iOS app are free to download with purchases or subscriptions inside, and Acloset is free up to 100 items. Wearly Labs has no free analysis; what anyone can open is the sample analysis, a real result to click through.
For a first warm or cool read, often yes: a free result is usually a season and a short palette. For a specific season and a shopping list, less often, because a free tier usually keeps the full palette, the reasons and the shopping help for the paid version. Judge a tool on what its paid output contains rather than on what it hands you for nothing.
From free to 59 dollars once, as of October 2026. What Colors Suit Me's handbook is 9, Colorwise's lifetime app 14.99, ColorAnalysisTech's full profile 39 and Palette Hunt's top plan 59. Subscriptions run from 3.99 to 24.99 a month (Acloset from 3.99, Dressika from 4.49, Style DNA from 7.99, ColorAnalysisTech's Style Club 24.99), and Palette Hunt's app is 9.99 a week. A consultation in person costs more; what a color analysis costs has the ranges with their sources.
Colorwise, What Colors Suit Me, ColorAnalysisTech's analyses and Wearly Labs are one payment. Palette Hunt sells one-time plans on its website, which its terms call legacy plans next to monthly and annual subscriptions, and weekly or yearly subscriptions in its app. Style DNA and Acloset are subscriptions, ColorAnalysisTech adds an optional Style Club at 24.99 a month, and Dressika sells weekly, monthly and yearly premium plans inside its app.
Yes, several, in different ways. Style DNA has a body type guide covering eight figures from hourglass to plus-size, ColorAnalysisTech reads a body type from one full-body photo, What Colors Suit Me sells a body shape add-on for 3 and has a body shape calculator, Acloset's AI stylist includes a fit diagnosis, and Palette Hunt has a separate free calculator that takes three measurements. Wearly Labs reads a shape and a line (sharp, medium or soft) from your answers and two full-length photos, and gives a verdict for each of 125+ cuts.
Yes. Style DNA says it is built for women and men, ColorAnalysisTech has a page for men with suit and shirt colors, What Colors Suit Me tailors its wardrobe advice to a masculine style on request, and Palette Hunt says its analysis works for everyone. Wearly Labs has a separate men's library of 125+ cuts and five men's shapes (triangle, trapezoid, rectangle, inverted triangle and oval), and the sample analysis is a man's.
Yes. ChatGPT will give you a season from a selfie, and uploads are part of its free plan, within limits. It reads the photo you give it, in the light you took it in, and the conversation stays in your chat history. We compare the four ways to do it, a consultant, an AI chat, a selfie app and an analysis like ours, side by side.
Every tool says something different, so read its policy before you upload. As of October 2026, What Colors Suit Me keeps the photo for up to 24 hours and then deletes it, and says it does not train its own models on it. Style DNA says it does not store uploaded selfies, only the results. Dressika says photos are stored and processed only on your device. Colorwise says the photo for its website analysis stays in your browser. Palette Hunt's app policy says face data is kept while you actively use the app and can be deleted in settings, while its website policy gives no retention period. ColorAnalysisTech's policy says photos are processed only for your results and gives no retention period. Wearly Labs uses photos for the analysis only and never for training.
