Color Curator vs Palette – Color Analysis

Palette gets you from selfie to season quickly and builds a nice loop on top of it: photograph your wardrobe, have it scored against your palette, get outfits generated from what you own. If wardrobe planning is the job, that loop is well made.

Here is where the two differ, and who each one is really for.
