What is seasonal color analysis?

Seasonal color analysis is a system that identifies which fabric colors, undertones, and saturation levels most flatter your natural skin tone, eye color, and hair contrast.

How does AI color analysis work in zuzu?

You upload a portrait, and zuzu simulates clothing in various color temperatures (cool vs. warm) and depths (muted vs. vivid) so you can immediately see which shades make your skin glow versus which wash you out.

What are the four main seasonal palettes?

The four primary seasons are Spring (warm and bright), Autumn (warm and muted/earthy), Summer (cool and soft/pastel), and Winter (cool, deep, and high-contrast).

Seasonal Color Analysis: Discover the Outfits and Shades That Match Your Skin Tone

Ever put on a bright yellow or pastel beige sweater and immediately looked tired, washed out, or sickly? Contrast that with a royal navy or emerald top that instantly made your eyes pop and skin radiate health. That is the magic of personal color analysis.

Historically, discovering your color season required an expensive consultation with a personal stylist who draped physical fabric swatches across your chest. Today, zuzu's AI virtual try-on allows you to test dozens of color palettes on your own portrait in real time.
