Color analysis gone wrong?! #coloranalysis

[somebody]

hot take: sometimes people look good with several palets and tunes and you don't have to stick to one only.

[despisebananas]

But the shop in Korea actually did the analysis in person when everyone else only saw you thru a screen

ChatGPT is soooo unreliable that if you resend the same input again and again it will keep changing its answer to the same question with the same set of data. 😂😂

[calicat]

The amount of times I have seen people get multiple services only to get different results every time makes me so reluctant to spend any money on this

Who is saying ChatGPT is reliable? It is a language model, not designed to truly understand what you’re asking, all it’s doing is using fancy statistics to predict the next word in a sentence - that’s how it’s crafting a reply. It’s not even fact checking the info it gives back. And the ChatGPT method for color analysis is especially unreliable because even the data you input in your prompt is not accurate! Our skin is made of many different colors and shades - if you had used the color picker on a different area of your face it would have given a different color code. Same goes for hair and eye color. What our eyes process as one color is in reality numerous colors, and you can’t get your color picker tool to work like a human eye to give you the averaged out skin tone that we perceive. You can’t even get the phone camera sensors to accurately capture your colors the way other people who see you in person perceive them. So this is garbage. And your contradicting seasons in the eyes of different people kinda shows color analysis as a whole is silly. We will look back at his trend and laugh like we do with many other past trends.

I actually agree with the warm analysis but that’s just me 🥲

[Puke_io]

i think you have a neutral undertone that leans more to the warm side, idk what ever you normally wear look great to me so it doesn’t really matter overall<3

[astrogabe]

I would recommend paying for Carol Brailey’s assessment . Or the ladies at Color analysis studio in Australia . Both these color consultants can do your analysis online if you send them proper photos .

[elizabethxix]

she's so pretty every color looks good on her

I highly recommend you to watch the video on colour analysis from Dear Peachie. It is a very in-depth video and one thing they said that stood out was that your primary colours are they season you matched, but you can also use the colour of the season that is next to your season on the colour wheel. For example, I am a soft autumn, but I can also use the colours from soft summer, which is next to soft autumn on the colour wheel. Even though soft summer is on the cool side, but because the colours are soft and muted, it still suits my skin tone. I hope it makes sense. So both colours of Light Spring and Light Summer would suit you. With this you have more colours to choose from.

[heidehho]

You're probably similar to me, muted summer which borders muted autumn. Most summer colours look good but we can pull off some of the autumn colours too! I would def not say spring for you tho

[carolcoughlin]

Cool! You are beautiful with cool undertones ❤

There are several thoughts to this: 1st, the checks they use are probably very different from those we are used to seeing done in SCA in other countries. There are MANY systems out there, all have slightly different checks to go through, so you would probably get0 different results in various systems. e.g. while in the 12 season system a Light Spring CAN have hair as dark as yours, in the system the International Image Institute uses (it's one of the 16 season systems) you would most likely not be a Light Spring because your hair is too dark for them to call your most dominant feature "light". I can see how the light colors do indeed light up your skin, but they also seem too light for your overall coloring. And you are definitely NOT low contrast. You're medium contrast. So you should be getting a color palette that also has medium contrast.

The various systems giving different results are imho what creates that confusion about if color analysis is even legit. And I do think it is always giving you colors that can look nice on you, but it's not a result that's set in stone. And we should not see it as a holy grail solution to figuring out our very best colors. For that, SCA and most other systems are way too generic and way too varying.

You could as well sit in front of a window, bare faced, hair back, wear something light grey with a very low neck, so there's no reflection to your skin of the color you wear. Then hold up different color (maybe paint) swatches to your face and see which colors do "filter" your complexion, make your eyes and lips pop and go with your natural hair (if you got your hair colored, look at the lashes and brows, they need to be bare, no lash extensions, no microblading etc.). And choose the colors that work to your own liking. That might not be "right" in terms of several systems, but it at least gives you a personal palette you're going to actually like and enjoy wearing. And if you figure out that a specific color is making you look dull, grey, sallow, sick, tired etc. you most likely won't prefer to wear that in the future, right?

You could for example have very specific colors from the Light Spring palette that flatter you incredibly well, but yet there are colors from other palettes that will look amazing on you too. And then there are so many more colors aside from that and many of them will look nice on you.

There currently is only ONE system out there that is using science and calculations to create personalized color palettes for each individual client and you cannot diy your analysis with that said system. That's probably the only actually reliable system though.

Aside from that, I don't think it's important to be labeled as a specific "season" because the concept is so different for each system and for that reason the results are not really reliable. You could be Light Spring in one system, Light Summer in another, someone else might tell you Soft Summer, while the other system might take you to Bright Spring or Cool Summer or True Summer, which are all very different. If someone tells you, you're Winter, run, because your contrast isn't high enough for Winter and the colors will most likely overpower you. Some systems don't even go through your ACTUAL features in terms of chroma, value and contrast, they will just drape the colors and might give a very soft colored person with darker hair and pale skin a Winter result. And yes, it is partially down to the experience of the consultant, but also down to the many different perspectives being used in color analysis. And the unschooled client won't be able to tell the acutal impact of the colors they were given.

So do I think your result was wrong? From my perspective, yes. Why? Light Spring traits: Low Contrast, the lowest of all of the seasons, even Light Summer has a tad bit more contrast, Coloring is very light overall (light hair, light eyes, light skin which is what does create the low contrast), coloring isn't super blended though, so the hue of the eyes, skin and hair should still vary, giving one a varied contrast in the hues occuring in their own coloring), Hue is neutral, leaning warm. Chroma is medium, leaning bright, a tad bit brighter than Light Summer and only a tad bit softer than True Spring's chroma. So to me, with your natural hair not being very light, giving you medium contrast, Light Spring is not a matching result for you. Of course there will be lighter colors that look amazing on you because you got light skin and lighter eyes, but there are also many medium value colors for you and probably even such that are slightly deeper.

Are you cool or warm? I don't know, not gonna judge through a screen, especially without knowing your light settings, camera settings etc. but to me your dominant trait is definitely not "light" (which would have to be for any light season).

[blissykissy]

I think it depends on lighting because it doesn’t matter if you wear your natural color, if you’re in a lighting that’s conflicting that it’s not gonna work!

[justinenglish_]

Pay for Carol Brailey analysis. She is the best and you will not be disappointed.

[mariyamarkova]

Some seasons can borrow for others depending on what their dominant feature is. If you're a deep winter you can borrow some colours from deep autumn because what's important is the depth of the colour not the temperature. That is especially true if your skintone is neutral. My skin is pretty neutral and I can pull off warm and cool colours as long as they're bright as muted ones wash me out.

[niniday]

light springs can also borrow colors from the light summer palette and vice versa. i think the most important factor for you is lightness as opposed to temperature as long as you dont choose colors that are too cool. maybe more neutral leaning

[SarahHemaida]

I personally agree with the first analysis. You look warm to me. The digital peach swatch was clashing with your pink blush, but it made your skin love great, whereas blue headband you were wearing in the beginning makes you look a bit sallow.

[YaBasicMillenial]

I am “technically” a dark autumn by every metric and yet actually bright winter works for me so well in reality. I think some of us are ambiguous. I do think you suit the spring too

girl noooo not chatgpt 😭 you can’t use it to actually get any information, it’s just a fancy version of those chatbots in the early 2000s
