The three ways to get analysed
| Option | What you get | Published price (checked 2026-10-29) |
|---|---|---|
| In-person draping (e.g. House of Colour stylists) | A consultant drapes fabric under your chin in person | Not listed on the House of Colour homepage; you book through a local stylist. One online tool's pricing page cites $150–300 for in-person analysis. |
| Phone apps (e.g. Dressika) | Selfie analysis, palettes, try-ons | Free basic version; App Store in-app purchases listed from $4.49/month up to one-time $28.99–$40.00 |
| Online report (e.g. tonematch.pro) | Selfie analysis + one-time Pro report | Free tier; Pro $3.99 one-time |
| Season Color Test | 12-question quiz + full season guide; optional Pro report | Quiz and guide free; Pro report $4.99 once |
Prices are taken from each provider's public page or App Store listing on 2026-10-29 and can change; check before you buy.
Where the money goes
In-person, you pay for the consultant's time, the drapes and the room lighting. That human eye is the real advantage. Online, you pay for convenience: the season logic and palette are delivered instantly. If your goal is simply to know your season and shop smarter, a structured self-test plus a detailed palette gets you most of the way for a fraction of the price.
How to get the most from a low-cost analysis
- Do the self-check in north-facing daylight, bare-faced.
- Take the quiz and read your two neighbouring seasons.
- Test three anchor colors from your palette against your face before buying anything.
