Why Our Color Analysis Quiz Has No Sign-Up, No Email Gate, and No Subscription
I'm the independent developer behind MySeasonColors, a free color analysis quiz. Recently, two people emailed me asking to cancel their subscription. I don't sell subscriptions, and neither of them had ever paid me anything. This is about why that bothered me, and how I decided to run this site.
Two emails about a subscription I don't have
Both messages said roughly the same thing: please cancel my subscription. Both writers were polite, and both were clearly worried about money leaving their account every month.
I checked our payment records for each of them and found nothing. They had never bought anything from us. What most likely happened is that they took a color quiz on another site with a name close to ours, entered their card for what looked like a small one-time fee, and later found a recurring charge they hadn't agreed to. When they went looking for someone to cancel with, they found me.
I couldn't cancel anything for them, because there was nothing on my side to cancel. That stuck with me. They had already been tricked once, and the site they finally reached out to couldn't do anything about it.
How a lot of color analysis quizzes make money
Take a few online color analysis quizzes and you'll start to recognize three patterns. The first two are normal business, even if I find them tiring. The third isn't.
The email gate
You answer every question, and then the result is hidden behind an email field. After that come the newsletters, the "your palette is waiting" reminders and the discount codes. Annoying, but at least you can see what you're agreeing to.
The half result
You get your season name and a teaser, and the part you actually came for costs extra. Checkout then offers a bundle, a bigger bundle and an add-on. It's ordinary selling. You know what you're paying for.
The subscription in disguise
The price looks like a small one-time fee. The fine print says it's a trial that turns into a weekly or monthly charge, often much larger than the first one. The cancel button is hard to find, and people notice weeks later on their statement.
What a free color analysis quiz with no email looks like here
As of late September 2026, people have taken the quiz more than 6,400 times. Every one of them saw their season result for free. None of them had to give an email address, enter a card number or create an account to get it.
The free result isn't a teaser. It gives you your season out of 16 and a 12-color palette you can start shopping with. The paid report goes further: 30+ colors, why you landed in that season, colors to avoid, makeup, hair and wardrobe guidance, and AI images of your colors on your own face. A few rules I set early on and still stick to:
No email, no card, no account
You take the quiz and see your season. Nothing to fill in, nothing to log into.
Your photo isn't kept
The photo you upload is used for the analysis and then discarded. We don't keep a copy. Paid reports store three AI-generated look images, and we'll delete them, and everything else, whenever you ask.
No newsletter
If you buy the report, you get one email: the confirmation, with a link to your report. That link doesn't expire. We don't send anything after it.
One payment, $9.99
The full report is a single charge. It doesn't renew, and there is no "Pro" tier waiting behind it.
Why I built it this way
Someone who takes a color quiz wants to know which colors suit them. That's a small, friendly question, and answering it shouldn't cost them their inbox or put their card at risk.
I want the free result to be useful on its own. If someone later pays for the full report, I'd like it to be because they read their free result, found it helpful, and wanted more detail, not because a checkout form nudged them there. A professional color analysis costs $150 to $400, and I think $9.99 once is a fair price for what the report gives you.
How to cancel a color analysis subscription you didn't mean to sign up for
If you found this page because a color analysis site is billing you every week or month, here is what I'd do.
1. Read the merchant name on your statement
Your bank or card app shows who charged you. That name, sometimes with a website or phone number next to it, is the company you need to contact. It may not match the name of the site you remember.
2. Search your inbox
Look for the receipt or "welcome" email from around the date of the first charge. Try searching for "receipt", "trial", "subscription" or the merchant name. The email usually has a manage or cancel link.
3. Cancel with that company and ask for a refund
Cancel through their site, or email their support and ask them to confirm the cancellation in writing. Ask for a refund of the charges you didn't expect. Keep screenshots of everything.
4. If they don't respond, call your card issuer
Your bank or card issuer can block future charges from that merchant and open a dispute (a chargeback) for the ones you didn't agree to. Your screenshots and emails help here.
Not sure whether the charge is from us? Send a screenshot of it through our contact page and I'll check. If it's ours, it was a single $9.99 payment and there's nothing to cancel. If it isn't, I'll tell you so, so you know to take it up with the other company.
