Women’s color analysis
Seasonal analysis usually stops at a palette and a lipstick. This carries it through the wardrobe you actually get dressed from — work and smart casual, denim and knitwear, outerwear, shoes, bags and metals — with beauty as one part rather than the whole point.
Three properties, in this order. Value: are you at your best in light colors or deep ones. Chroma: do clear bright colors suit you, or softened, grayed ones. Temperature: gold or silver, warm or cool. Temperature is the last question rather than the first, because it is the one people most often get wrong and the easiest to judge once the other two have narrowed twelve palettes to three.
Frame Atelier reads all three from a photo on your device, using a sheet of white paper in the frame as a white-balance reference so the result reflects your coloring rather than your lighting. It also shows the measurements behind the call, so you can disagree with it.
Using Light Summer as the example, a result returns colors in three tiers — the neutrals you build on, the colors you will wear weekly, and accents that work best in small doses:
Every season’s neutral set, and what nine of the twelve wear instead of black, white and grey: wardrobe neutrals.
Every color carries the garments it suits, so a shade that works as a knit but not as a coat is never suggested as a coat.
Leather is where a wardrobe quietly succeeds or fails. A nude that matches your undertone lengthens a line; one that fights it reads as a mismatch across the room. Neutrals below are the everyday workhorses; accents are for the pair you want noticed.

The same leathers carry the handbags. The app names bag colors by type — an everyday shoulder bag, a structured work bag, a crossbody, a clutch and a tote — all drawn from your season’s own leather pool, so the handbag agrees with the shoes without matching them piece for piece.
The outfit builder covers 9 occasions and stays inside your season throughout:
How those occasions assemble into complete looks — work, smart-casual and dress-led shapes, in real season colors — is on outfit color combinations.
Layered on top are 8 style directions — Old Money, Minimalist, Modern Boho, Romantic, Casual Chic, Refined Street, Modern Classic, Coastal Ease — which change how your palette is styled without changing the palette itself. More on aesthetics.
Your season also names lipstick, blush and eye shades, the hair colors your coloring carries, and the jewelry metals at your ears and wrist — each covered in depth on its own page.
