What color analysis tells you
Every face has three color properties that decide which clothes, makeup and hair colors look harmonious:
- Undertone - warm (golden, peachy, olive) or cool (pink, rosy, blue). It decides between Spring/Autumn and Summer/Winter.
- Value - how light or deep your overall coloring is.
- Chroma - whether you look best in clear, bright colors or soft, muted ones.
Combined with the contrast between your hair, skin and eyes, these place you in one of 12 seasons.
How Huemate measures your colors
- A 7-question quiz (vein color, sun reaction, natural hair and eye color, gold vs silver, white vs off-white, black near the face).
- An optional selfie: on-device face detection places sample points on your cheek, hair and iris. You can drag them to fine-tune.
- The sampled pixels are converted to CIELAB. Skin hue angle gives undertone, L* gives value, C* gives chroma and the L* gap between hair, skin and eyes gives contrast.
- Quiz and photo are combined into a season with a confidence score and a runner-up.
See it on you: the drape test
Analysts hold colored fabric under your chin. Huemate does the same on your selfie - your best colors on one side, colors to avoid on the other - so you can see the difference yourself.
Private by design
