Color analysis FAQ
Instant House Reading $39.95, live virtual drapes from $195, and the four Chromara Houses.
- Is Instant House Reading the same as a live drape?
- No. Instant is an AI House + type + mini palette from six guided photos — daylight and warm indoor — read with Mira Ellison’s method. A live virtual consult is a 60-minute drape with a Color Icon. The $39.95 Instant fee credits toward a live virtual analysis of $195 or more.
- How should I light Instant photos?
- Take three in daylight by a window — no flash, no filter, no sunglasses. Then three in warm indoor light (lamps or evening). Portrait, face, and one eye in each light. Hair off the forehead. Camera at eye level.
- Does Instant credit toward a $195 live consult?
- Yes. The $39.95 Instant House Reading fee credits toward a live virtual analysis of $195 or more, including Live virtual + wardrobe.
- What happens to my photos?
- Photos are used only to complete your Instant reading and are deleted within 24–72 hours. We do not store them for marketing.
- Are Chromara Houses the same as 12 seasons?
- They map the same three axes — warm/cool, light/deep, clear/muted — into four coined Houses with three types each. We drape Chromara, not seasonal names. You still land one of twelve types: Vela Light, Warm, Clear; Nira Light, Cool, Soft; Kora Soft, Warm, Deep; Sable Deep, Cool, Clear.
- Should I wear gold or silver?
- Vela and Kora take yellow gold, rose gold, brass, bronze, and copper. Nira and Sable take silver, white gold, platinum, and pewter. Instant and a live drape confirm your metal.
- What are the four Houses?
- Vela (warm, light, clear), Nira (cool, soft, muted), Kora (warm, deep, muted), and Sable (cool, deep, clear). Each has three types.
