How to shop with a swatch card
A palette card turns “I think this suits me” into a check you can do in the store aisle. Hold the card against the fabric in the best light you can find — near a window beats under fluorescent tubes — and look for two things. First, does the color sit inside your ten power colors? Exact matches are rare and not required; you are looking for the same family at the same depth and softness. Second, if it is not a power color, is it close to one of your four neutrals? Neutrals carry most of a working wardrobe, and a coat or trouser that lands near your neutral column will earn its keep for years.
The avoid list matters as much as the palette. Each card names the four shades most likely to drain your coloring and says why — so when a sweater is beautiful on the hanger but lands on your avoid list, you know the problem is the undertone, not you. Put it back with confidence.
One honest note on what the card is: 18 colors, not 40. The 40-color palettes are padding; these are the ones you'll actually buy.
Why hex codes matter for online shopping
Product photos are lit, filtered, and color-corrected — your memory of “my kind of green” is no match for that. Hex codes are. Copy your palette's codes from any season card, open a color picker (most browsers have one built in), and sample the product photo directly. If the sampled value lands near a code on your card, the real garment has a fighting chance; if it is nowhere close, no amount of flattering photography will fix it at your door.
Printing tips
Print at 100% scale — do not let the dialog “fit” the page. Plain paper works; matte photo paper is better because gloss shifts color under store lighting. And know that screens and printers disagree slightly by design: your printer mixes ink, your screen mixes light. If a swatch looks a shade off, trust the hex code on the card over either device — it is the one description of the color that never drifts.
Palette card questions, answered
How do I use a color palette card when shopping?
Hold the card next to the garment in daylight if you can. You are checking two things: whether the color sits inside your palette, and whether it is close to one of your neutrals — neutrals are what most of a wardrobe should be built from. If a color is not on the card and not near anything on it, that is your answer.
What size should I print it?
Print the page at 100% scale on A4 or US Letter and the card comes out roughly postcard-sized — small enough for a bag, large enough to read. Choose 2 pages per sheet in your print dialog for a wallet-sized version.
Is this really free?
Yes — the palette cards are free for all twelve seasons. Print, lockscreen download and hex copying all work with no account and no email; the optional email step only exists if you want all 12 cards in one kit. The AI analysis that tells you which season is yours is $9.
What if I don't know my season?
Take the 1-minute analysis on the homepage first ($9) — a palette card is only as good as the season on it. If you are stuck between two seasons, the comparison guides cover every commonly confused pair.
Can I get all 12?
Yes — every season's page has its own card, and this page links to each one. If you want them bundled, the free kit email includes all 12 cards and the shopping guide.
Do the hex codes work for online shopping?
Yes, and they are the most reliable tool you have online, where product photos are color-corrected. Copy your palette's hex codes, open any color picker, and compare the product image against your actual colors rather than your memory of them.
