Woman Gets Colour Analysis for Free Using ChatGPT Instead of Paying Professionals

COLOUR analysis is all the rage right now, with people getting professionals to tell them which shades they suit best for clothes, make-up, and hair. However, one woman decided to take matters into her own hands when she couldn’t afford the £2,500 she was quoted.

Myriam, who posts under @myriamestrella8, shared how she turned to ChatGPT to discover her optimum colours. She wrote: “I couldn’t afford a $3,000 (£2,500) colour analysis so I asked ChatGPT, and she went ALL out for me.”

And the best part of the process was it didn’t cost her a penny, with her adding: “All this information for free??”

After uploading a light-hearted selfie, she wrote on OpenAI chatbox: “Hi ChatGPT! How are you doing today? Can you do a color analysis on my skin tone?”

The virtual assistant replied: “Hi! I’m doing well, thanks for asking. Based on your photo, I’ll help you determine your skin undertone and suggest some flattering colors for you.”

The program told her she had a “warm undertone,” which could be determined by her “golden or yellow hue skin” and her “greenish veins.” Straight off the bat, the first suggestion was that she suits gold jewelry. Myriam said she was shocked as she’d been a “silver girly” her whole life.

Next up was make-up suggestions. For foundations, it advised: “Opt for foundations with yellow or golden undertones.” Meanwhile, Myriam was told to wear peach or coral blushers, warm red lipsticks, and brown or bronze eyeshadows.

The AI program also shared what colors would look best on her. Finally, her hair color was analyzed, and ChatGPT told her that she should consider golden highlights, caramel lowlights, or balayage. Myriam was impressed at all the information she could get for free and wrote: “This was so incredibly helpful holy moly!”

Her video has racked up nearly 10,000 likes, with one person writing: “I just did this too! Thank you so much for sharing! I freaking love ChatGPT.” Another added: “I just did it! Awesome!!”

ChatGPT is a language model designed to generate text. You give it a prompt, and it responds with text crafted to match that request. When functioning properly, the text appears as though a human wrote it, flowing naturally. GPT stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, a technical term for this type of model that specializes in creating AI-generated content.

What is color analysis? Color analysis is a tool you can use to determine which colours flatter you most. It’s based on your overall appearance and particularly the coloring of your eyes, hair, and skin. You are then assigned one of twelve color seasons. Each color season comes with a color palette specifically designed to harmonize with your natural coloring.

According to a British study, there is evidence that suggests the colours worn by a person can affect how they are perceived by others. For example: red and pink are thought to signal sexual attractiveness, particularly when worn by women, while dark colours like black or navy may convey the impression of authority—making the wearer seem less approachable.

The theories of color analysis also teach that certain colors can emphasize or, conversely, de-emphasize an individual’s attractiveness to others. Unflattering colors may make a person look pale, for instance, or draw attention to such “flaws” as wrinkles or uneven skin tone. Flattering colors are thought to have the opposite effect.

If you have a cool skin tone like Adele and Nicole Kidman, you should wear lavender, emerald, bright blue, charcoal grey, purples, ice blue, and pink, while warm skin tones like Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce should wear reds, rust, turquoise, oranges, browns, navy, warm greens, and corals. Avoid certain colors based on your skin tone to enhance your overall appearance.

Myriam’s experience with ChatGPT shows that technology can also provide helpful insights and guidance when it comes to personal styling and color analysis. It’s a fun and cost-effective way to explore your best color choices without breaking the bank.
