Colour game
Drape Duel
Twelve quick rounds. Each time, two colours sit under your face, like in a real draping session. Tap the one that makes you look fresher. No phone can tell you your colour season, and this game won't pretend to. What it will show you is how your eye reacts to colour, and how tricky that really is.
Before you start
- ☀Face a window in daylight. No yellow bulbs.
- ✦No makeup, no filters, no beauty mode.
- ◐Hair tied back, so your whole face shows.
- ♡Look at your skin and eyes, not the colour itself.
🔒 Your photo never leaves your phone. Nothing is uploaded or saved.
Step 1 of 2
Line up your face
Drag the photo so your chin sits on the dotted line, and zoom until your face fills the oval.
Tip: on a laptop you can also scroll to zoom.
Round 1 of 12

Your Drape Duel result
Your eye gave clues, not an answer
Here is what your picks suggest, and what a screen simply cannot tell.
Three of the pairs came back a second time, on the other side. Here is what you chose:
Clues we noticed
4 of 12 seasons are still in the running
Your picks ruled some seasons out, but not enough to name one. Telling neighbouring seasons apart needs real drapes, in daylight, side by side.
What this game cannot see
- How real fabric reflects coloured light onto your skin. That reflection is the whole point of draping, and a picture laid over a photo cannot do it.
- True colour. Your phone camera, beauty mode, white balance and screen all shift colours before you even look.
- Your hair, eyes, brows and skin together, in daylight, from a normal distance.
- The difference between neighbouring sub-seasons, like Deep Winter and Deep Autumn. It is subtle, and it is where most self-diagnosis goes wrong.
Drape Duel is a learning game, not a colour analysis. Your season and sub-season are decided in a session with physical drapes, in daylight, by a trained eye.
