PHOTO OR QUIZ · OLIVE-AWARE · ON-DEVICE
What is my seasonal color type?
Seasonal color analysis reads three things from your skin, hair and eyes: warm vs cool, light vs deep, and soft vs clear. FaceGlade scores all twelve seasons and shows you a ranked candidate set (never a single verdict), because real undertones, especially olive ones, often sit between the classic categories. Everything runs in your browser.

No makeup, no filter, even daylight facing a window. We sample four cheek regions after a lighting check.
- Lighting check first: dark or color-cast photos get a retake guide, not a guess
- Your photo never leaves your browser; pixels are sampled on your device
- Olive undertone branch: when warm/cool doesn't apply, we say so
No photo? Take the two-minute text quiz
Five questions (hair color, eye color, vein color, how you react to sun, and the colors people compliment you in) map onto the same warm/cool, light/deep, soft/clear space as the photo path. Both paths output the same candidate-set format with confidence and per-season reasons.
How the analysis works
The photo path averages the RGB of four cheek regions (around FaceMesh landmarks 118, 347, 205 and 425), converts them to a warmth–lightness–saturation point, and scores all twelve seasons by distance in that space, warm/cool weighted highest, because it is the axis most season decisions turn on. A lighting gate runs first: photos that are too dark, too bright or strongly color-cast get a retake guide instead of a result. The quiz path accumulates votes on the same three axes from your five answers. Either way you get the top three seasons with normalized confidence, the reason each runner-up was kept or ruled down, and, when the samples read greenish and low-contrast or your quiz answers split, an explicit olive-undertone notice that a simple warm/cool result may not apply.
The twelve seasons
Three springs (Light, Warm, Clear), three summers (Light, Soft, Cool), three autumns (Soft, Warm, Deep) and three winters (Cool, Clear, Deep). If your top match is Soft Summer, the Soft Summer guide shows the full 24-color palette with mirror tests; Deep Winter, Deep Autumn and Light Spring guides are live too, with the rest of the seasons rolling out next.
Color analysis FAQ
Why a candidate set instead of one season?
Because undertone is a continuum. Lighting, tan, blush and camera white balance all move the reading, and many people genuinely sit between two neighboring seasons. Showing the top three with confidence and the reasons the other nine were ruled down is more honest than a fake-precise single label.
What is an olive undertone?
Olive skin has a green or golden cast that breaks the warm/cool binary: gold and silver can both work, veins look both green and purple, and classic season quizzes fail on it. When our photo samples read greenish and low-contrast, or your quiz answers split, we flag a possible olive undertone and point you back to the quiz to double-check instead of forcing a warm or cool verdict.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Landmarks and cheek-pixel averages are computed in your browser; the photo never leaves your device. You can confirm with your browser's Network tab: the only requests are this page's own static files.
Photo path or quiz: which is more reliable?
They measure different evidence. The photo path sees your actual skin in actual light, which is its weakness too, since bad light skews it (that's why the lighting gate exists). The quiz path asks stable questions about hair, eyes, veins and sun reaction. When both agree, trust the result; when they disagree, you're probably near a season border or olive, and the guides' mirror tests settle it.
Which seasons have full palette guides?
Soft Summer, Deep Winter, Deep Autumn and Light Spring have full 24-color guides with mirror tests. If your result is one of the other eight, the nearest published guide plus the neighbor notes will get you most of the way.
