Scoring method
What the aesthetic score measures
The score is a diagnostic summary of color relationships in the analyzed posts. It is weighted toward harmony, while preserving separate signals for contrast, saturation, tonal balance, and consistency.

Interpret the result as a color diagnostic
Colorkuler does not measure content quality, audience fit, originality, engagement, or business performance. A high score means the sampled colors satisfy more of the model's rules; it does not mean one feed is objectively better than another.
Results can change as public posts change, and photography, lighting, screenshots, and graphics all affect the extracted palette. Use the score to identify patterns, then apply judgment with our Instagram palette guide or compare the method with our curated color studies.
