What colors suit me?
The colors that suit you are the ones that match your natural colouring on three axes: undertone (warm, cool or neutral), value (how light or deep your overall colouring is) and chroma (how soft or bright it is). Test a colour by holding it under your chin in daylight — if your skin looks clearer and your eyes brighter, it works; if shadows, redness or dark circles jump forward, it doesn't. A full seasonal analysis turns those three axes into a palette you can shop from.
How It Works
- Upload one natural-light selfie. No filters, no heavy makeup. minniie reads undertone from multiple facial regions, then measures contrast between hair, skin and eyes.
- Get your season and palette. You receive one of the 12 seasonal types, your flattering colours, your neutral ones and the shades that clash — plus best metals and lip tones.
- Use it on real clothes. Your palette then filters everything else: outfits are built in your colours, and pieces in your wardrobe get flagged as flattering or draining.
What You Get
- Check your undertone first: warm skin reads golden or peachy, cool reads pink or blue, neutral sits between the two.
- Match contrast, not just colour — high contrast colouring (dark hair, light skin) carries sharp colour pairings; low contrast looks better in tonal outfits.
- Match depth: light colouring is overwhelmed by very dark shades, deep colouring is washed out by pastels.
- Match chroma: soft, muted colouring looks dusty next to neon; bright colouring looks tired next to greyed-out shades.
- Test in daylight, no makeup, hair pulled back — artificial light lies about undertone.
- Keep your best colours near your face; anything can work below the waist.
- Neutrals count: choose between ivory and optic white, camel and grey, espresso and black based on the same three axes.
Personalized example
Question: What colors suit me? I have dark brown hair, olive skin and green eyes.
- Your reading points to Deep Autumn: warm undertone, deep value, medium chroma.
- Best near your face: olive, rust, teal, forest, aubergine, warm cream.
- Best neutrals: espresso, camel, bronze — instead of black and optic white.
- Avoid: icy pastels and dusty greys; they flatten your natural depth.
- Metals: gold and bronze over silver.
Why the same colour looks great on one person and awful on another
Colour never appears alone. A jumper is always seen next to your skin, hair and eyes, and your eye reads the relationship rather than the garment. When the undertone of the fabric agrees with the undertone of your skin, the skin appears more even and the eyes gain contrast. When it disagrees, your eye compensates: shadows deepen, redness intensifies, and the face reads tired even though nothing about you changed.
This is why 'is this colour in season' is the wrong question, and 'does this colour agree with mine' is the right one. Trend cycles change every six months. Your colouring changes maybe twice in a lifetime.
The three axes, in plain terms
Undertone is the temperature of your skin, hair and eyes taken together — not how tanned you are. Value is your overall lightness or depth. Chroma is how clear or muted your colouring appears: some people carry saturated, poster-bright colour effortlessly, others look best in shades that seem to have a drop of grey mixed in.
Most people who feel their colours 'don't work' have got one axis right and one wrong — usually the right temperature at the wrong depth. Fixing the depth alone often solves the whole wardrobe.
What to do with the answer
Start with the pieces that sit nearest your face: knitwear, shirts, scarves, coat collars. Replacing three of those with palette-correct versions changes how you look in every photo far more than replacing your trousers.
Then use the palette as a shopping filter rather than a rulebook. Anything inside it is a safe buy; anything outside it needs a reason — a jacket you rarely open, a skirt far from your face, or a piece you simply love.
Practical checklist
- Daylight, no filter, hair back, minimal makeup
- Decide undertone: warm, cool, or neutral
- Decide value: light, medium, or deep
- Decide chroma: soft or bright
- Test the colour under your chin, watch the skin not the fabric
- Prioritise the pieces worn closest to your face
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know what colors suit me?
- Work out your undertone, your overall depth and how soft or bright your colouring is, then test shades in daylight under your chin. If your skin looks clearer and your features sharper, the colour suits you. An AI colour analysis does the same reading from a selfie and returns a full palette instead of one-off guesses.
- Can I find my colors without a professional draping session?
- Yes. Draping is accurate but costs €150–€300 and takes a couple of hours. A photo-based analysis reads the same signals — undertone, contrast, chroma — and gives you a 12-season result in seconds.
- Do my colors change with a tan or new hair colour?
- A tan shifts depth temporarily but not undertone. A meaningful hair colour change does shift your contrast level, so it's worth re-running the analysis after going significantly lighter or darker.
- What if I love a colour that isn't in my palette?
- Wear it away from your face — trousers, skirts, bags, shoes — or wear it with a palette-correct layer at the neckline. The palette is a tool for looking your best, not a ban list.
