AI does not seem able to handle ambiguity as well as humans. I get the best answers to concrete questions that ask for a specific response. I tried yet another iteration of asking about my colors.  This time I used my makeup foundation, which is an excellent match to my skin, as an additional reference when adjusting my photo. Then I asked if making that adjustment would alter any answers in my previous query. It pushed me into a more refined palette that fell on the cool end of light summer and borrowed a small bit from true summer. Cool summer palette was no longer a part of my palette because it became too bright for me.  The foundation information provided AI better information where I fall on the bright/clear continuum, as well as on the cool/warm and light/dark continuum.  The color choices provided in the refined palette felt even more consistent with my personal experience. I stayed within the same main palette with the changes, but my best colors changed a bit as did the overall palette.  It’s a bit brighter, cooler and the colors look more mid range intensity.   Suz on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2386948 Tue, 27 May 2025 17:12:40 +0000 Suz 2386948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Interesting, Staysfit, that the colours the bot offered for you in the first palette seemed paler/ softer than what you'd usually wear. So that is similar to what it did for me. I didn't ask it to "dress" me in my colours -- those might have been clearer or brighter, as they were for you. You certainly got it to explain its "thinking" process! I don't think I asked the questions with enough clarity to get it to provide that kind of answer, LOL.  I think my skin tone is actually light, and my contrast low to medium. Mid-tones suit me best. But the very light powdery pastels that the generator suggested at first are awful on me, completely draining. Winter's extremely saturated brights or darks overpower me. Bright navy is much better than ink navy on me. (I wear more ink mainly because it is more available.) Maybe I fall closer to this (different from the usual) typology -- below -- cool, bright, and light. Which may be closer to "light summer" than to "true summer" -- but without the soft and muted pastels? Ack, who knows. I feel pretty confident about what works on me, personally, so don't really care. But I would like to know how to ask better questions of the bot!  Firecracker (Sharan) on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2386945 Tue, 27 May 2025 17:04:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2386945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>Suz, that result is hilarious. Like it's telling you, "OK, then. You can wear fucshia and bright blue, period. Happy now?"</div><div> </div><div>Even though I didn't spend much time with ChatGPT (nor it with me), I am re-thinking some things about my colors. Like maybe I'm cooler than I thought (I see my skin tone as more neutral-cool--but, in the photo I used I think my skin looks cooler than it does IRL), and maybe I look better in higher contrast than I have been aiming for. Admittedly, I was already leaning toward these thoughts anyway. </div> Staysfit on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2386930 Tue, 27 May 2025 13:07:41 +0000 Staysfit 2386930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ To test my ideas above, I asked today for ChatGPT to parse out my colors based on a continuum or bright to soft using my original picture and here are the results: Determining user's seasonal color type Looking at the user's features, we can place them on a color continuum based on clarity and mutability. The user's light summer type fits well in the moderate-soft zone — not as muted as soft summer, but still on the softer, cooler side of the spectrum. The colors are on the softer side with low chroma, but still have some clarity due to lightness and cool undertones, so not overly muted. Thought for 15 seconds The clarity ↔ muted continuum in seasonal color theory  Spring  Bright Winter  Clear →← Muted ─ Soft Summer - Soft Autumn                ↑                      ↑            ↑  True Spring             Light Summer   True Summer (far left = highest chroma / “clear,” far right = lowest chroma / “muted”) Where you land Light Summer sits just left of the fully muted seasons: <ul> <li>Chroma: Low‑to‑moderate. Colors need a drop of grey (dusty teal, icy pink) but still retain a gentle freshness—not as greyed as Soft Summer. </li> <li>Value: Light overall—your silver hair + fair skin dilute contrast. </li> <li>Temperature: Cool‑neutral. </li> </ul> So on the continuum you’re 2–3 steps away from the Bright seasons, 1 step away from the Soft seasons. Think of it as “soft–clear” rather than fully “muted.” Visual cues from your original photoFeatureWhat it tells us about claritySilver‑grey hairAbsorbs saturation → favors softened hues.Light green‑grey eyesLow contrast ring; pop most with gentle pastels, not vivid brights.Cool, pink‑toned skinLooks healthiest when colors have a touch of grey or white mixed in (icy pink, powder blue).Overall contrastLow‑medium (hair, skin, and eyes are similar in value) → bright colors overpower, dusty colors harmonize.Practical takeaway <ul> <li>Clear/Bright hues (fuchsia, neon teal) will dominate your features. </li> <li>Ultra‑muted/earthy shades (olive, camel, taupe‑brown) push you too far toward dull. </li> <li>Your sweet spot is soft‑clear pastels and light mid‑tones—exactly the Light Summer palette we’ve been using (powder blue, icy mint, dusty mauve). The chart showing the continuum gets distorted here when I copy it, I’m going to try to take a photo and attach. </li> </ul> Staysfit on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2386923 Tue, 27 May 2025 12:25:48 +0000 Staysfit 2386923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ @Helena, I am glad you went back and added the AI generated photo.  I can see how complementary the autumn tones complement your coloring in the photo.  Interesting isn’t it?   <div> </div><div>@Suz, AI has some quirks but is getting better all the time.  I wonder if AI distinguishes colors from neutrals and metals?  Also, I found the colors in the AI generated photo of my color palette to be very pale and washed out.  They are different than the colors in my swatches from in person color typing. However, when I asked ChatGPT to dress me in one of those colors, it looked brighter than in the picture with the AI generated seasonal color swatches. Perhaps this is a quirk of the current AI algorithm?  I believe both cool summer and light summer colors to be tints, and they are brighter than true summer colors which appear to be tones. I cannot wear many true summer colors, as they drain color from my face, but I can wear colors from both cool and light summer.  I believe this is because my skin is on the brighter end of the soft to bright continuum.   I have seen you look amazing in some true summer colors I cannot rock, like burgundy.  I agree your skin tone is in the medium range as you say and perhaps also towards the brighter end of the soft-bright continuum.  Level of coolness and contrast level would then determine whether you fall into cool summer or winter. You seem to do well with contrast, and you may fall somewhere in between with these two palettes.  Contrast levels are hard for me to tell in color photos.  What do you see with black and white? Do you think you are low, medium or high contrast in a photo? </div><div> </div><div>@Sal, this experiment made me think a lot more about how I can push my colors into other palettes and why or why not.  I’m certainly learning a lot more about color which I hope will be helpful with wardrobe choices and with my knitting.  </div><div> </div><div>I hope this is fun and not aggravating for everyone.  I can see some have accurate results and some do not.  </div> Sal on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2386904 Tue, 27 May 2025 03:52:27 +0000 Sal 2386904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very interesting isn't it. Yes Helena that's what I mean.  I do believe in the colour typing but think it is clearer for some people than others and for most of us we can push it a bit, especially if you know how to break the rules.  Lisa on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2386881 Mon, 26 May 2025 22:47:57 +0000 Lisa 2386881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a fun thread! I've never tried ChatGPT but how well the results have been for many YLFers is really interesting! Suz on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2386876 Mon, 26 May 2025 20:24:25 +0000 Suz 2386876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jenni, the blue in my hair is totally gone (or almost totally gone). It washed out really quickly! Just a temporary rinse.  I think it got confused in my last question when I said "These look like winter colours." It just focused on the word "winter" and ignored the other part of my question.  It's right that I am cool summer but the colours it gave for cool or true summer were more like the colours you usually see in the palettes for soft summer or light summer. The palettes below are closer to the mark (and show a much better range of colours for me than the ones Chat GPT suggested except I don't wear the yellows really at all.  I did an analysis according to another method and one of the modifiers I got was "bright" -- I look good in a few muted or heathered tones (a soft heathered lavender or mauve is good, for instance, and faded denim blues) but apart from those I look better in cool clear light to medium toned (but not pastel) colours.  Jenni NZ on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6#post-2386875 Mon, 26 May 2025 20:17:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 2386875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz maybe it got confused with the blue in your hair? I have found this thread fun but haven’t tried it partly since I just recently got typed IRL. Also it’s late autumn and hard to get good light for a photo plus we were away at the weekend.

Based on your visible features — including your cool-toned silver-gray hair, rosy undertone in your skin, and muted eye color — here’s an assessment of your seasonal color profile: Likely Seasonal Color Type: Summer (Cool Summer / True Summer) Key Characteristics That Match: <ul> <li> Hair: Your gray hair leans silvery, indicating cool undertones. </li> <li> Skin: Your complexion has a rosy-pink undertone, rather than golden or peach. </li> <li> Eyes: Soft and muted, which is common in Summer types. </li> <li> Overall Contrast: Soft-to-medium contrast between skin, hair, and eyes — not high like in Winters. </li> </ul> ✔️ Best Colors for You: <ul> <li> Soft, cool, and muted tones </li> <li> Powder blue, soft rose, lavender, cool pinks, dusty teal </li> <li> Cool grays, soft navy, and mauve </li> <li> Summer pastels and “washed” colors </li> </ul> ❌ Colors to Avoid: <ul> <li> Harsh, warm tones like orange, mustard, or tomato red </li> <li> Very deep or highly saturated jewel tones (Winter colors) </li> <li> Earthy browns and golden tones (Autumn colors)" </li> </ul> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> It then gave me the attached palette in #1. I told it that I like and wear some of these colours but the pastels here make me look really washed out. I asked for an alternative summer palette with less muted tones. It gave me the version in photo 2. Nope again!  So I said: You are getting closer. But these colours are still on the muted side for my real-life colouring. I look great in bright navy, fuchsia, periwinkle blue, french blue, royal blue. Colours with more clarity than these. Can you provide a cool summer palette that includes clearer colours? I believe "cool" is my dominant characteristic and "muted" my least dominant.   Here's what it gave me -- photo 3.  Then I said: " Thank you for your help. These look closer to "winter" colours. How about a palette with white, silver and grey? Thank you." Here's where it went off the rails. I think it is getting impatient with me, LOL. Photo 4 was its answer.  To tell you the truth, I think I do a better job myself than Chat GPT but it was a fun exercise!    Helena on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6#post-2386873 Mon, 26 May 2025 19:53:13 +0000 Helena 2386873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sal it's interesting because I think it's about, how far can you push it? And you can push quite bright, of course you can also go soft but too soft will fall flat. Is that sort of what you mean? Sal on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6#post-2386872 Mon, 26 May 2025 19:25:41 +0000 Sal 2386872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes I agree Staysfit. I think some people are very obviously in one category. Others are a bit more mixed and honestly two or three could work. Not sure my photos were the absolute best either. In my case I think most people would think I suit warm rather than cool, gold over silver. I am not very light - nor very dark, so I think there are four left. Soft and Warm Autumn, clear and warm spring. I can work across these palettes but I can carry off the very bold bright spring colours and not get lost. Anything muddy is not that good on me but I can wear some softer colours. It is interesting for sure. Helena on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6#post-2386868 Mon, 26 May 2025 19:11:37 +0000 Helena 2386868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You know I had to try. I got soft autumn! So autumn tones, but the softer neutral ones that aren't overly warm. I've always thought myself cool but this isn't a bad guess as I do wear this part of the autumn palette well. (Interestingly think Angie once suggested a similar palette for me ... The cooler side of earthy tones). I asked it to create a palette surrounding my photo to see the effect. It won't recreate an exact photo for legal and ethical reasons (ethics inflicted on them I believe!) but notwithstanding the uncanny valley face, the colouring is fairly accurate. The Salmons, blue-greens, greens and tans are all colours I would wear, although I don't know about the oranges and golds. So that's all to say, who knows??? But so fun to explore!

If you fall close to the midrange of a characteristic the algorithm has to choose one, but it may not be the best choice. Nevertheless, being midrange on a particular characteristic would increase the range of colors you could wear, since you may be better able to borrow colors from adjacent seasons.   I suspect this difficulty with discernment is where all seasonal color typing becomes problematic, both in person and remotely, and also where it falls into the realm of subjective rather than objective. </div><div> </div><div>In the case of a true autumn vs true spring, the true autumn is warm and muted and true spring is warm and bright. As you identified the ChatGPT algorithm placed you into a muted category rather than a bright category. The question I have is why it made that decision?  My best guess is you fall somewhere in the middle of the continuum between muted and bright, making a black and white decision tricky. <div> </div><div> </div></div> Sal on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6#post-2386826 Mon, 26 May 2025 04:02:40 +0000 Sal 2386826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I tried in the weekend and came back with True or Warm Autumn.  I don't think it is correct, but I can wear many of the colours in that palette.  However I believe I am a spring, I was typed as a Clear but I would believe I am a Warm or True as well.

My 2 cents:  <ul> <li>I chatted with my tech-savvy hubs about ChatGPT, and when you're a signed up and a fee paying member - (which I am) - AI tends to (but not always) generate a more sophisticated response. Especially when photos/images are involved. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>ChatGPT DOES fatigue, and will tell you it's tired. Or when you're going too fast and you need to slow down. Like LJP, I've had that happen to me with another topic!</li> </ul> <ul> <li>To take a photo in natural light - go outside, snap a pic. No shadows or shade. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Personally, I find that your FIRST responses from the bot - after asking the question in a clear way - yields the most accurate answers. You also have to wait for the generated response to finish before you follow up with the next questions - or it gets confused. </li> </ul> Hope that helps! :)              Staysfit on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6#post-2386819 Mon, 26 May 2025 00:20:48 +0000 Staysfit 2386819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Facing a window is actually one of the best ways to take a photo for natural lighting — so yes, you did it right! But there are a few small details that can still affect how colors show up in the image: ✅ Why Facing a Window Works: <ul> <li> Natural daylight (especially north-facing light) is diffuse and color-balanced. </li> <li> It minimizes shadows, helps skin look even, and shows true undertones better than indoor lighting. </li> </ul> ⚠️ Things That Might Still Skew the Lighting: Even with a window, some factors can alter the photo slightly: FactorEffectTime of dayEarly morning or late afternoon light can be warm or golden, adding yellow tones.ReflectionsWhite walls reflect clean light, but yellow, beige, or wood-toned surroundings can cast warmth onto skin.Indirect light onlyDirect sunlight can create harsh shadows or overexpose some areas. Indirect is better, but make sure it’s bright enough.Phone auto settingsMost smartphones auto-adjust white balance and exposure, which can warm or cool the image unnaturally. Tips for the Perfect Natural Light Photo: <ul> <li> Face a window with bright, indirect daylight (mid-morning to midday works best). </li> <li> Place a white sheet or paper behind the camera (to bounce soft light onto your face). </li> <li> Avoid standing near warm-colored walls or wood furniture that might reflect. </li> <li> Wear a neutral top (like gray or soft white) to avoid color reflections. </li> </ul> Would you like a guide image or checklist for taking your own photos for future color analysis?

Firecracker (Sharan) on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6#post-2386805 Sun, 25 May 2025 18:26:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2386805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>So I asked Chat GPT why they chose cool or true summer rather than soft summer for me. Here's what I got: </div><div> </div><div>Why I chose Cool Summer over Soft Summer: 1. Clarity of Features </div> <ul> <li>In your photo, your eyes are cool-toned and fairly clear, not muted. </li> <li>Your skin has a more noticeable contrast with your gray hair than is typical in Soft Summer (which tends to look more blended and low-contrast). </li> <li>Soft Summers often have a "soft focus" look — yours appears more defined and cool-toned.</li> </ul> 2. Undertone Strength <ul> <li>Your skin undertone looks more cool-neutral, whereas Soft Summer often has a slightly muddier or warmer-neutral base. </li> <li>The gray in your hair also leans cool, without the warmth that sometimes steers Soft Summers toward taupe or brown-based shades.</li> </ul> 3. Color Response <ul> <li>Cool Summer colors (like powder blue, cool lavender, soft navy) would likely brighten and harmonize with your coloring more than the dustier, browner tones of Soft Summer. </li> </ul> But here's the catch: You might still fall under Soft Summer if: <ul> <li>You look better in toned-down, blended colors rather than crisp, cool ones. </li> <li>You find stronger cools overpowering, and feel best in very muted shades. </li> </ul> ✅ What you can do to check: Try comparing Cool Summer vs. Soft Summer swatches near your face in natural light. If: <ul> <li>Cool Summer makes your features pop → it's likely your best fit. </li> <li>Soft Summer makes your overall look more harmonious and gentle → you may indeed be Soft Summer.</li> </ul> <div>Would you like a side-by-side comparison of the two palettes next?</div><div> </div><div>Kinda cool (hahaha!), yes?</div><div>Btw, here's the photo I used, one I took a few years back when I was going through the maze of Kibbe assignments on Facebook. </div> Firecracker (Sharan) on "Color type by playing around with ChatGPT…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-around-with-chatgpt%e2%80%a6#post-2386803 Sun, 25 May 2025 18:15:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2386803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Interesting. I just tried it and got cool summer or true summer, whereas I have been fairly certain I am soft summer.

UmmLila, it seems odd that ChatGPT sees a photo in which you can obviously see your blue eyes and ashy blond hair, and reads them as brown.  Did you ask ChatGPT why it might be making the errors?  I would.  AI isn’t perfect.  Maybe it made an assumption that skewed everything in the wrong way.   <div> </div><div>I used two photos for my ChatGPT query.  I compared the pictures to my actual coloring before using them and they were very close.  I did the same comparison with the corrected images from ChatGPT and the resemblance was even closer to my true coloring.  I asked what corrections were made and the corrections were minimal.  </div><div> </div><div> <div> </div><div> </div></div>
