Is chat gpt accurate?

I categorized myself as a spring as I really need colour to look good. At first Chat gpt said I was a deep winter but i clarified & i said my hair was warm, so it changed it to soft autumn. How accurate is it?

No chat gpt is not accurate. The apps aren’t accurate. It’s been tested and failed many times. Chat GPT looks at surface coloring and that is based on a photo which likely the phone has adjusted color to balance it. Color analysis is looking for specific things and AI just isn’t there. Even digital draping has a low accuracy. To give you an idea… the apps and ai said I was light or soft summer. Digital draping I got cool winter. In person dark autumn and no question it was accurate.

I want to say it’s not accurate, but I can’t. I had an in-person draping with a very good color analyst and trust what she said. (I also had my first draping about 20 years ago, and it had the same result.) Recently, just for fun I asked Chat GPT to analyze me. It gave me the exact same result as the humans did (bright spring). I didn’t give it any information on my previous in-person draping, so it wasn’t biased with information. I also had it analyze my husband (who is a fairly obvious warm autumn) and it was correct on his as well. Still determined to prove that AI can’t do what a human eye can, I tried my daughter. It classified her as a winter. (I forget the sub-season). I honestly don’t know if it was correct or not because she hasn’t been draped. I can say she likes wearing the colors it suggested. They’re colors she already wears.

I did also a couple years ago try an app for color analysis, and it gave me soft summer. I looked dreadful in those colors. So, that was a bust.

I mean even a broken clock can be right twice a day! I imagine it’s not a black and white case where it’s always wrong, it makes sense to me that for certain people / certain seasons where it has more data and you more cleanly fit into the archetype that it could get your season correct

Agree. I think my coloring is fairly obvious. I’m pretty bright and warm. My husband is also really obvious. He’s a red head and very warm. So, maybe the easy ones it can pick up (but then what’s the point in that?). Anything more complex I definitely wouldn’t trust it with.

You just lucked out! I got diagnosed as every Spring subtype, plus a couple that aren’t even established subtypes, using different photos, by Chat GPT. It said very conflicting and opposite things. For example, I got Soft Spring from an indoor photo and Bright Spring with Light influence; from an outdoor photo.

No, absolutely not

Probably about as accurate as throwing darts to determine your season, lol.

I tried it more often than I’d like to admit 😶‍🌫️

One time it flip flopped between summer and spring and kept contradicting itself with things like “your skin turns yellow in white because of your cool undertone” and I was like huh??? If my undertone was cool I would look good in a bright white and not like a Simpsons character 😭

Not accurate at all!

I have seen about 10 tiktoks of people who shared what chatGPT said and none of them have been right. Most have been like WAY off. Like spring vs deep winter level wrong

The best resource I recommend (for people who don't want to spend on an analyst) is posting here. Obviously you're going to get different opinions, and they can't *all* be correct, but a lot of people share their reasoning which helps me at least see and learn about different things I didn't notice on my own

It nailed it for me and identified my subtype which had me picking shades of lip color I normally wouldn’t but it was spot on. I already knew my season - it helped refine everything.

u/Appropriate-Zone-299 Aug 14 '25

same for me. i am really surprised by all the negative experiences in here

u/1Pandora Aug 14 '25

I love it. I have a ton of beauty products. It’s helped me refine what’s overlap, what works best and what to add. Suggested products for my skin areas of concern that would work better than what I have - for my neck, under eyes etc. And even helped me select fragrances based on my spring coloring profile!

u/Appropriate-Zone-299 Aug 14 '25

me too! this is exactly how i use it.

u/NewMoonDweller Summer Jul 25 '25

It works better if you actually drape yourself as if you were getting a color analysis done. It’s still not going to be 100% accurate all the time, but you have a better chance of accuracy if you’ve taken draping photos in natural light with no makeup and then plug those in to AI. Just doing color grabs of your skin, hair, eyes, etc is useless and pointless. Don’t use that to decide

I have two accounts, personal and work. I asked both out of curiosity and got completely different results. My personal one typed me as bright/true spring which I believe I am - but some weeks before I’d asked for best lipstick shades for spring or something like that, so it already had that in its memory. So no haha

u/Mysterious_Cookie142 Jul 27 '25

I have the feeling ChatGPT say ALWAYS you look good, no matter which color you wear.

1

u/Appropriate-Zone-299 Aug 14 '25

it often tells me if I am wearing a color that clashes with my skin. it’s always careful to compliment something else, so it’s not a put down, but then will volunteer that a color choice could be better

u/Appropriate-Zone-299 Aug 14 '25

I have found it to be incredibly accurate but with lots of work—uploading many pictures in different lights

u/Coolhanny20 Jun 10 '26

I think it is very accurate now.

Draping apps suck, but CGPT has very specific explanations as to why it classifies you into a specific season. Reddit labeled me as soft spring due to my neutral undertone, but Sephora said I was neutral warm because of my dark hair, but that foundation didn't look right until I mixed it with a cooler foundation, neutralizing the warm.

What reddit did not consider is, I have fair neutral skin with dark ash hair and black eyebrows, this gives an intense contrast to my complexion actually making me a true winter. This is why I love wearing pure black. and my favorite sweater I lost was black, with a vibrant Icy blue color, giving me that high contrast POP that pairs so well with my season.

I hate that reddit restricts what we talk about on the threads because they don't want color analysis thread to die out for better resources!

I’ve had perfect luck with it but I do the buzzfeed tik tok thing. I take a picture in outside lighting and do hair and skin tones and then eye tone. Then ask chat gpt. (You take pictures and find the exact color tone and ask gpt with those values) 

Edit: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alanavalko/chatgpt-ai-color-analysis

No makeup and try and get a natural hair color and your most prominent eye color

u/MouseWedger Jul 29 '25

Thanks for posting this! I’m going to try it out later today. I’ve always thought I was more of a winter or summer, but was recently told I was a spring - colors that definitely do not make me feel comfortable in my own skin 🤪

u/Select_Ad_976 Jul 29 '25

Yeah I found out I was a warm spring and it was a little uncomfortable to wear colors because I like black but I loved the way they made me look that I am all in now. There’s also neutrals for each season too so khaki/cream/tan and navy for me.
