Editorial & Ad Disclosure
Editorial and advertising disclosure for Palette. Independent guides, sponsored ads, no affiliate links.
Transparency is a practical value. This page explains how Palette makes money, how editorial decisions are made, and what "algorithmic analysis" means in plain terms.
How Palette Makes Money
Palette is currently free to use, subject to rate limits (3 generations per day, 10 per week, 30 per month). We do not display advertising. We do not earn affiliate commissions. We do not have sponsors.
We may introduce paid tiers in the future — for example, higher generation limits or a downloadable formatted report. Any paid offering would be a direct transaction between you and Palette. If and when that happens, the terms will be presented clearly before any purchase.
We do not share or sell user data for commercial purposes. The business model is straightforward: free access within limits, with the possibility of optional paid features later.
Editorial Independence
The color analysis guides on this site — the hub pages, the sub-season descriptions, the palette guidance — are written by us, based on established color analysis frameworks (primarily the 12-season Sci\ART system) and editorial judgment. They are not sponsored, commissioned by brands, or influenced by any external party.
We do not accept payment to feature specific colors, products, brands, or trends in our editorial content. If that ever changes, we will say so clearly at the top of the relevant piece.
Affiliate Links
Palette does not currently earn affiliate commissions. We do not have affiliate relationships with any retailer, brand, or product.
If we introduce affiliate links in the future — for example, shoppable wardrobe recommendations in your palette colors — we will disclose this prominently. Any page containing affiliate links will carry a clear disclosure statement at the top.
The Analysis Itself
Color analysis on Palette is generated algorithmically. An AI image generation model analyzes your portrait and produces an infographic. It is not reviewed or validated by a human color analyst. It is not a certified assessment.
The output is directional. It gives you a well-reasoned starting point based on visual characteristics of your photo. It is intended as an accessible, editorially oriented tool — something closer to a thoughtful magazine quiz than a clinical consultation.
For people seeking a definitive, professionally certified color analysis, we recommend finding a trained Sci\ART analyst. The Palette result is a useful first signal, not a final word.
We believe it is important to say this clearly. The analysis can be genuinely helpful. It is not gospel. Use it as the beginning of a longer conversation with your own wardrobe, not as the end of one.
