Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
truehue
True Hue runs a protocol modeled on what a certified color analyst runs in a $300–$400 in-person consultation. That means five calibrated photos, a 15+ item questionnaire, and four-dimension analysis (undertone, value, chroma, contrast) with evidence cited from specific photos and answers. Before a season is named, a mandatory mid-analysis check-in catches misreads. After draping comparison against both adjacent seasons, you get the full deliverable: ~36 hex codes by wardrobe role, colors to avoid with reasons, metals, neutrals specifically tailored ("your black," "your white," "your navy"), pattern and fabric guidance, and a shoppable starter capsule at two budget tiers. The plugin covers four modes — full analysis, closet audit, single-item check, palette refinement — and honors genuine ambiguity with a between-seasons protocol instead of forcing binary verdicts. Deep skin and olive complexions are first-class cases, not afterthoughts. Color-blind users get an opt-in accessible deliverable format. Privacy g
