What is Personal Color?
Personal color is a styling framework that groups colors by how they harmonize with your natural skin tone, contrast, and clarity. This guide explains the basics, how scanning works, and how to use your results in real outfits.
How the scan works
- On-device sampling — your photo is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
- Color conversion — sampled skin pixels are converted to CIE L*a*b* metrics.
- Tone mapping — we estimate warmth/coolness, clarity (chroma), and brightness to map you to a seasonal family.
Tip: Use bright, even daylight. Avoid heavy makeup, strong backlight, and colored room lighting.

How to use your result
- Start with tops near your face (t-shirts, shirts, hoodies, jackets).
- Match your “best colors” with your most-worn basics (denim, sneakers, outerwear).
- If you love a “less flattering” color, move it away from your face (pants, bags, shoes).
