Learn your undertone

Knowing your undertone can greatly influence the colors in your wardrobe

What are Undertones?

It's the subtle, underlying hue of your skin, which remains constant despite changes in surface tone from sun exposure or skin conditions

Warm

Warm undertones show golden, peach, or yellow hues that glow in earthy colors like rust, amber, and cream. You may tan easily and look radiant in warm tones.

Cool

Cool undertones appear with pink, red, or blue hues under the skin. These tones shine in cool colors like sapphire, icy gray, and plum, and often burn rather than tan.

Neutral

Neutral undertones have a balance of warm and cool hues, offering the flexibility to wear both palettes. Soft shades like taupe, rose, and teal are especially flattering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about undertones, color matching, and how the photo analysis tool works.
  • What does this tool do?

    It analyzes a photo of your face to estimate your skin undertone (warm, cool, neutral, or olive) and suggests clothing colors that complement you.

  • What are undertones?

    Undertones are the subtle hues beneath your skin’s surface. They don’t change with tanning or seasons. Common categories are: Warm (golden, peach, or yellow base), Cool (pink, rosy, or bluish base), Neutral (a balance of warm and cool), Olive (warm undertone with greenish/ashy tones).

  • How accurate is the analysis?

    The tool uses color science to sample pixels from your skin and compare them to undertone ranges. Accuracy depends on lighting (natural daylight gives best results), image quality (clear, high-resolution photos), and face coverage (avoid heavy makeup or filters).

  • What kind of photo should I upload?

    For best results: Take the photo in natural daylight (by a window, overcast day works great). Face the light source directly, avoid shadows. Don’t use filters or color adjustments. Remove strong makeup or tinted glasses.

  • Why did my result say cool when I think I'm cwarm?

    Lighting can shift results: yellow bulbs may push skin toward warm, cool LED light may make it look cool. The algorithm doesn’t “know” your light source, so it reads the pixels directly. If you get conflicting results, try another photo in neutral daylight.

  • What does colive undertone mean?

    Olive undertones are warm undertones with a subtle green or ashy hue. People with olive undertones often find that typical warm or cool palettes alone don’t feel right, but muted earth tones, olives, and balanced neutrals work beautifully.

  • What results will I get?

    The tool shows: Your representative skin pigment (HEX/RGB code), Undertone category (warm, cool, neutral, olive), Lighting quality & rating (1 = poor → 5 = ideal), Best colors for clothing, accessories, or makeup, Colors to avoid that may clash with your undertone.

  • How is lighting quality rated?

    We analyze the photo for: Color temperature (CCT) – daylight vs artificial, Tint bias (green/magenta shift), Shadow softness – harsh vs diffuse, Contrast balance. Then we rate lighting from 1 (horrible) to 5 (ideal).

  • What else can this help me with?

    Choosing clothing that enhances your natural tones, Picking jewelry metals (gold vs silver), Finding flattering makeup shades (foundation, lipstick), Deciding on hair color direction (warm vs cool shades).

  • Is my photo stored anywhere?

    No, your photo is only processed temporarily on the server for analysis and not saved.
