Is this page a paid tool or an information page?

The page itself is an information page. Uploading a photo creates a personalized AI report with a free preview and paid clean export.

What is the difference between 12 and 16 seasons?

Both systems refine the four seasons. The 16-season approach gives more room for neutral, deep, bright, and soft variations.

Can I use the palette for outfits?

Yes. The page gives examples, and the report can include wearable neutrals and outfit color direction.
