The short version: Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products I would genuinely suggest to someone in your color season.
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a retailer I referred you. When you make a purchase through one of these links, the retailer pays me a small commission — typically 2–10% of the sale price. You pay exactly the same price you would have otherwise.
Affiliate links look and behave just like regular links. I do not receive any bonus for recommending one retailer over another, and commissions do not influence which products I include or exclude from any season's curated edit.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), I disclose my affiliate relationships clearly and prominently throughout this site. Where affiliate links appear — in season pages, shop sections, and blog posts — you will see a note indicating that the page contains affiliate links.
Palette Forward participates in affiliate programs including, but not limited to:
Specific retailer relationships are noted where relevant. This list is updated as new partnerships are added.
Every product featured on Palette Forward is selected based on color analysis accuracy — does this piece genuinely belong in this season's palette? Affiliate availability is not a factor in curation decisions. If the best camel coat for a Warm Spring happens to be from a retailer without an affiliate program, I'll still link to it.
I am not paid to feature specific products. No brand has sponsored or influenced any of the season guides, palette pages, or editorial content on this site.
Prices shown on this site are approximate and pulled at the time of curation. Prices fluctuate, products sell out, and retailers change their inventory. Always check the retailer's site for current pricing and availability.
