Frequently Asked Questions

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

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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).
