Color analysis — free: your season and a shareable palette, no account. On your phone, not in a chat: lighting-coached capture, a Home and Lock Screen widget, and Siri answering “what’s my season”. Find your color season from one selfie. Tonebook shows your result with confidence labels, photo-retake guidance, and an adjacent-season comparison when the result is close. Then it turns your palette into practical guidance for your closet, outfits, makeup, hair and accessories. FREE FEATURES • Your color season and up to 10 best colors • Shareable palette card No account required. FULL REPORT & PRO FEATURES • A 12-season color framework, from True Spring through Deep Winter • Your complete best-color list, with names and reasons • Best neutrals for your wardrobe foundation • Use-carefully colors with gentle, no-judgment guidance • Hair color families, cut direction and a note you can show your stylist • Makeup guide for foundation undertone, blush, lips, eyes and finish • Jewelry and accessories: metals, eyewear, bags and shoe tones • Shopping cheat sheet: look-for, use-carefully and first-buys • A 7-day plan for trying your palette in real life • Style Check for any item • Outfit ideas built from your own closet • Shareable palette for shopping HONEST BY DESIGN • Confidence label on every report: Strong, Good, Mixed or Low • Adjacent-season callout when a result is close • Photo-quality scorecard before analysis • An educational “How accurate is this?” view • Privacy mode for shared cards WHAT TONEBOOK ISN'T • Not a face-rating app — we never score attractiveness • Not medical, dermatological or psychological advice • Not facial recognition or biometric identification • No claims of scientific proof — color analysis is guidance, not a verdict PRIVACY Your selfie is sent to OpenAI's API once per analysis and is not used to train AI models. OpenAI may keep it for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deletes it. Tonebook does not store the raw selfie or a face embedding on its servers. Delete your data in Settings to clear this device immediately and request deletion of server records and linked analytics. If you gave Tonebook an email address, open the one-time confirmation link we send to finish server deletion. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Tonebook Pro subscriptions auto-renew until canceled. Cancel any time in Apple Account → Subscriptions. The Full Color Report, Lifetime, and Color + Event Look Bundle are one-time purchases. Full terms: https://tonebook.app/terms. For adults age 18+.
