# ColorSnapAI > ColorSnapAI (https://colorsnapai.com) is a free AI color season analysis tool by Hathaura Color, for anyone who wants to know which colors suit them. Upload a photo and it places you in one of the 12 color seasons of the Hathaura Color Standard. The analysis runs in the browser; photos are never uploaded. ## How it works ColorSnapAI finds your face with a face-mesh model, then samples your skin from the cheeks and forehead, your eye color from the irises and your hair from above the hairline. It measures those colors in CIELAB, a color space built around human vision, scores temperature, value and clarity, and picks the closest of the 12 seasons. If two seasons are close, it shows both. ## The 12 color seasons - Light Spring: Light, warm and clear. Warm pastels, light coral and fresh yellow. - Warm Spring: Warm, golden and bright.

Color season analysis finds the colors that suit your natural coloring. Your hair, skin and eyes are judged on three things: temperature (warm or cool undertone), value (light or deep) and clarity (bright or soft). The combination places you in one of 12 seasons, from Light Spring to Bright Winter. ### How does ColorSnapAI work? ColorSnapAI finds your face with a face-mesh model, then samples your skin from the cheeks and forehead, your eye color from the irises and your hair from above the hairline. It measures those colors in CIELAB, a color space built around human vision, scores temperature, value and clarity, and picks the closest of the 12 seasons. If two seasons are close, it shows both. ### Is my photo uploaded? No. The analysis runs in your browser and your photo never leaves your device. If you choose to get your results by email, only your season and the three detected colors are saved. ### What do I get from the free color analysis? You get your color season and a free palette of your 12 best colors, plus colors to avoid and your best metals. If two seasons are close, you can compare both palettes. ### Can I find my color season without a photo? Yes. Take the 1-minute quiz instead: five questions about your veins, jewelry, natural hair color, eyes and contrast. Your answers are matched to the same 12 seasons the photo analysis uses. ### How accurate is an online color analysis? A photo analysis is a strong starting point, not a final answer. Lighting, camera settings, makeup and hair dye all shift colors. For the most reliable result, use a front-facing photo in natural daylight with no filter, and compare your top two seasons by holding their colors near your face. ### What if I am between two seasons? Many people sit between two neighboring seasons, such as Soft Autumn and Soft Summer. ColorSnapAI shows a close second when the scores are near. Try both palettes in daylight: the right one makes your skin look even and your eyes look clear. ### Is ColorSnapAI free? Yes. The analysis is free. Hathaura Color sells a detailed style guide for each season with 42 colors, neutrals, colors to avoid, metals, patterns and makeup guidance. ## Links - [ColorSnapAI free color analysis](https://colorsnapai.com/): Upload a photo or take the 1-minute quiz to find your color season and best colors. - [Privacy Policy](https://colorsnapai.com/privacy/): How ColorSnapAI handles your photo, your email and usage data. - [Terms of Use](https://colorsnapai.com/terms/): Terms for using ColorSnapAI and its AI assistant connector. - [Hathaura Color Studio: color analysis software for stylists](https://hathaura.co/): Run 12-season analyses, manage clients and send branded PDF color reports. - [Hathaura Color season style guides on Etsy](https://hathauracolor.etsy.com/): A detailed style guide for each season with 42 colors, neutrals, colors to avoid, metals, patterns and makeup guidance.
