LOOKSMETER · COMPARISON
Looking for a Colorwise alternative?
Colorwise.me is a website for seasonal color analysis. LooksMeter is another way to get there: upload one photo and the tool reads your season, undertone, depth, chroma and contrast for you, then shows a starter palette.
Automatic or by eye
Seasonal analysis comes down to judging skin, hair and eye color together. You can do that by eye or let a tool read it from a photo. An automatic read is quick and needs only one photo.
How LooksMeter compares
Here is what you get, starting with what is free:
A full free result
Season, undertone, depth, chroma, contrast and a starter palette on your first scan with no account.
Twelve seasons
The read goes past the four base seasons into the 12-season system, so two people who are both Autumn can still get different palettes.
Nothing to install
It runs in the browser on phone or desktop.
A written report when you want depth
The optional full report covers the colors to wear and the colors to avoid in more detail.
Get a reliable read
Use a photo taken in daylight near a window, with no makeup and no colored light on your face. If two tools disagree, the lighting is the first thing to check.
Frequently asked
Why did I get a different season on another site?
Different lighting is the usual cause. Tools also draw the lines between neighboring seasons in slightly different places. Compare the undertone and depth reads, which are more stable than the season label.
Is it free?
Your first scan on every tool is free and needs no account. The full written report behind a result is an optional paid unlock.
Is there a subscription?
Not for a single report. Each report is a one-time purchase that stays in your account. Monthly passes exist for people who scan often, but nothing requires one.
Is my photo kept private?
Nothing is posted to a forum or a public feed unless you choose to share it. A small copy of the photo is saved with your report so the full report can be written from the same image. Free scans made without an account are removed after 3 days if they are not unlocked. The privacy page has the details.
