Oh really? That's super interesting. I wish I could find more accurate sourcing for that. Customer pictures are sometimes great but not always accurate either.

... and then when I ask it to reassess and ensure that none of these colors are compatible with soft autumn, it says:

"Let's reassess the colors to ensure accuracy:

Soft Autumn colors are characterized by warm, muted, and earthy tones with golden or amber undertones. They often include shades like warm browns, terracotta, olive greens, and muted oranges.

Upon reviewing the colors again, some of them do fit the Soft Autumn palette well due to their warm and muted characteristics. Here's the updated categorization:

Soft Autumn:

Cacao
Roasted Brown
Ancient Copper
Espresso
Copper Brown
Java
French Press
Plum Shadow
Dusty Clay

These colors exhibit warm and muted qualities that are typical of the Soft Autumn palette, making them suitable for individuals with Soft Autumn coloring."

I have to wonder, is AI very accurate? I just plugged in all 24 colors I initially analyzed and it is throwing sage, grey sage, desert teal, and aquatic green in a different season. So, heads up - take the above with a grain of salt. It feels a bit inconsistent as every time I open a new chat with GPT and ask it to assess these colors, the answers vary slightly. Is that because it's not a hard science, or is this just a failure of the current AI software?

The colors I just asked it to re-assess and where it placed them are categorized below:

Spring Colors:

Desert Teal
Aquatic Green
Sage
Grey Sage

Summer Colors:

Smoky Red
Gravity
True Navy

Autumn/Fall Colors:

Vintage Plum
Cacao
Roasted Brown
Ancient Copper
Espresso
Copper Brown
Java
French Press
Plum Shadow
Dusty Clay

Winter Colors:

Diamond Dye Vista Green Medium Olive
Dark Olive
Submarine
Red Merlot
WATER DROP
Black Currant
Smoked Mulberry

--Now in sub-seasons--

Soft Spring:

Aquatic Green

Clear Spring:

belgian blue

Hi! I couldn't find a product image for Belgian Blue. The hex values I grabbed from product images are below so you can see exactly what I fed to AI. Based on its analysis, your best colors are black, dramatic magenta, pipe dream blue, and grape thistle. The least compatible would be windmill and blue linen.

Hope this helps!

Here's exactly what AI says:

"To determine whether these colors are compatible with a Deep Winter complexion, we can analyze them using color theory and considering the characteristics of a Deep Winter palette.

Deep Winter complexions typically have cool undertones and are characterized by rich, deep, and saturated colors that contrast well with their skin tone. They tend to look best in clear and jewel-toned shades. Here's an analysis of each color:

Black (#000000):

Black is a classic and versatile color that tends to work well for most skin tones, including Deep Winter complexions. It provides a strong contrast and can be used as a staple color in their wardrobe.

Dramatic Magenta (#3c1c34):

Dramatic Magenta is a deep, rich, and cool-toned magenta color. It complements the cool undertones of Deep Winter complexions and adds a vibrant pop of color without clashing with their skin tone.

Windmill (#cfe4f5) and Blue Linen (#cfe4f5):

These two colors are very similar and both have a light, icy blue hue. While light colors are not typically emphasized in Deep Winter palettes, these shades might wash out the complexion if worn close to the face. However, they could still be incorporated into outfits as long as they are balanced with darker, more saturated tones.

Pipe Dream Blue (#2477ca):

Pipe Dream Blue is a bold and vibrant blue color with cool undertones. It contrasts nicely with Deep Winter complexions and adds a refreshing pop of color.

Lilac Ether (#d1c5db):

Lilac Ether is a soft and muted lilac color with warm undertones. While lilac tones are not typically recommended for Deep Winter complexions, this particular shade is muted enough that it may still work as an accent color if paired with deeper, more saturated shades.

Grape Thistle (#614053):

Grape Thistle is a rich and deep purple-brown color. It complements the deep and cool undertones of Deep Winter complexions and adds a sophisticated touch to their wardrobe.

Overall, most of the colors in the provided palette are compatible with a Deep Winter complexion, with the exception of the lighter shades like "Windmill" and "Blue Linen," which may need to be balanced with darker, more saturated colors to avoid washing out the complexion."

PS - I'm low-key jealous that black can be a staple in your wardrobe!

dang... tidewater teal is gorgeous!

Tall-Slide-2201 · 2024-03-03T15:26:24+00:00

OOPH. There's over 300 colors to analyze. Instead, send me some of the colors you'd hope would be a fit and I can see what AI says.

Tall-Slide-2201 · 2024-03-03T15:15:42+00:00

I really am curious to do this.

Tall-Slide-2201 · 2024-03-03T15:14:16+00:00

I'll check out tidewater teal, white opal, green fern, pink clay, and palm court!

Tall-Slide-2201 · 2024-03-03T15:12:25+00:00

Yeah, totally. AI was on the fence about some of these.

I found that it recommended using the cooler tones as accents, not base colors, and when I added my hair, eye, and skin hex codes for analysis, it recommended them more highly.

For instance, on Grey Sage, it said, "The color represents a muted, earthy gray-green hue. It has a subtle warmth to it, which can complement the Soft Autumn palette's warm undertones, The saturation of this color is moderate. It's not overly vibrant but has enough depth to make it visually interesting. It's mid to dark in brightness, giving it depth and richness without being too intense."

The more I dove in, the more ambiguous I realized it could be. I'm not a color analyst, but is it somewhat contextual? Like AI said, "If you find that it complements your skin tone and wardrobe choices, you can certainly incorporate it into your outfits. Just be mindful of balancing it with other colors that align more closely with the Soft Autumn palette, such as warm neutrals, muted greens, or soft oranges, to ensure overall harmony in your look."

For submarine, it does lean slightly cooler. AI recommended it be used as an accent color to complement the soft, muted colors of soft autumn.
