Frequently Asked Questions

Which is more precise: 4-season or 12-season?

The 12-season system is meaningfully more precise. It divides each of the 4 seasons into 3 subtypes, giving 12 distinct palettes. For someone between Light Summer and Soft Summer, the 4-season system would call both "Summer" — the 12-season system tells them apart.

Is Color Me Beautiful still used?

Yes — Color Me Beautiful still operates through a network of licensed consultants doing in-person draping sessions. It's the classic Western system. The Korean 12-season 퍼스널컬러 framework that PersonalColorAI uses is a modern evolution with more precision.

Should I start with the book or the AI?

Carole Jackson's Color Me Beautiful (1980) is a foundational read if you want to understand where Western color analysis came from. For an actual analysis tailored to your coloring, PersonalColorAI delivers a Korean 12-season reading in 60 seconds for $4.99 — faster and more precise than typing yourself from a book.
