Upload photo to find my season
Upload a selfie to get your color season from Hue AI. Learn how to take the right photo and understand your seasonal color results.
Quick Answer
You can upload a photo to Season Approved's Hue AI to get an instant seasonal color estimate. Use a well-lit, makeup-free selfie for the most reliable result.
Finding your color season used to require an in-person appointment with a trained analyst. Now you can get a useful starting estimate by uploading a single photo to Hue AI.
The quality of your photo directly affects the accuracy of the result. Follow a few simple guidelines to give the AI the best data to work with.
How to take the right photo
Follow this checklist to get the most accurate AI analysis.
Practical checklist
- ✓Use natural daylight. Stand near a window or step outside, but avoid direct harsh sunlight that creates strong shadows.
- ✓Remove all makeup, including tinted moisturizer and lip balm. Cosmetics shift your visible coloring.
- ✓Use a white or light neutral background. Colored walls can reflect onto your skin and skew the reading.
- ✓Include your face and shoulders in the frame. The AI needs to see your skin, hair, and eyes together.
- ✓Do not use filters, beauty modes, or heavy editing. The AI needs your natural color data.
- ✓If you wear glasses with tinted lenses, remove them so the AI can read your eye color.
What the AI looks for
Hue AI evaluates four dimensions of your coloring from the uploaded photo.
Skin tone mapping
The AI samples multiple areas of your face to build an average skin color profile, filtering out shadows and highlights to find your true surface tone and undertone.
Hair color analysis
Your hair is read from root to mid-length to capture your natural base color. The AI notes whether your hair has warm (golden, red) or cool (ashy, blue-black) tones.
Eye color detection
The iris is mapped for dominant color, secondary flecks, and limbal ring contrast. Eye color helps distinguish between similar seasons with different eye patterns.
Contrast calculation
The AI measures the lightness gap between your hair, skin, and eyes. This contrast score is a key factor in separating high-contrast seasons like Winter from low-contrast seasons like Summer.
Understanding your results
Hue AI returns a primary season with a confidence level, and often a secondary season for people who sit between two types. A high confidence score means your coloring strongly matches one palette. A lower score with a close secondary season suggests you may be a sub-season that bridges the two.
Use your result as a starting point. Try wearing colors from your suggested palette for a week and see how they make you look and feel. If something feels off, explore the secondary season or take the guided onboarding quiz for a more nuanced assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use any photo?
You can, but results will be less accurate with poor lighting, makeup, or colored backgrounds. A fresh, natural-light selfie without filters gives the AI the cleanest data to work with.
Does lighting matter?
Lighting is the single biggest factor in accuracy. Warm indoor lighting can make cool skin look warm. Natural daylight without direct sun is the best option for reliable results.
What do I do with my results?
Start wearing your suggested season colors near your face and observe the effect. You can also use Season Approved to shop clothing filtered by your palette, so every recommendation matches your coloring.
