Full color analysis prompt

no stylist, no $1,500 — just one prompt ↓

If you watched the video, you already know the wheel landed on personal stylists today — and most people have no idea ChatGPT can already do this job.

A real stylist consultation runs around $1,500 on average. Below is the exact prompt I used to get the breakdown above, plus the two steps to get your own in under 30 seconds.

Snap a clear photo of your face in good, natural lighting — daylight near a window works best. Avoid heavy filters or warm indoor lighting, since that'll throw off the color reading.

Drop your photo into the chat, then paste the prompt below right after it. This is the exact prompt used to generate the breakdown at the top of this page.

You are an expert color analyst and personal stylist with decades of 
experience in the seasonal color analysis system (the 12-season method 
used by professional stylists). Analyze the attached photo and give me 
a complete personal color analysis.

Look at my:
- Skin tone and undertone (warm, cool, or neutral)
- Eye color and depth
- Natural hair color and depth
- Overall contrast level between my features (high, medium, or low)

Then give me:

1. MY COLOR SEASON
State which of the 12 seasonal color types I am (e.g. "Soft Autumn," 
"Bright Winter," "Light Spring," etc.) and explain in 2-3 sentences why, 
based on what you observed in the photo.

2. MY BEST COLORS
List 10-12 specific colors that will make me look most alive and healthy, 
organized into:
- Best neutrals (for everyday basics)
- Best statement colors (for standout pieces)
- Best metals (gold, silver, or rose gold for jewelry)

3. COLORS TO AVOID
List 4-5 colors that will wash me out or clash with my natural coloring, 
and briefly explain why each one fights against my undertone or contrast 
level.

4. HOW TO APPLY THIS
Give me 3 practical, specific examples of how to use this — like what 
color shirt to wear with what color pants, or what color looks best 
closest to my face (for tops, scarves, or makeup).

5. ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY
End with a single sentence I could screenshot and save, summarizing my 
color identity (e.g. "You're a Soft Autumn — think warm, muted, earthy 
tones like terracotta, olive, and camel.")

Be specific and confident in your analysis. Avoid hedging language like 
"it could be" or "you might be" — give me a definitive read the way a 
professional stylist would in a real consultation.

Once it finishes, you'll get a complete personal color profile — the same kind of breakdown a professional stylist would charge hundreds of dollars for:

• Your color season (like the "Deep Autumn" example above)

• Your best colors — neutrals, statement colors, and metals

• Colors to avoid, and why they clash with your coloring

• Practical tips on how to apply it to what you already own

• A one-sentence summary you can screenshot and save
