If you’re not using AI tools yet—like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot (our three favorites)—as a personal assistant, you’re in for a surprise. You could absolutely pay a professional to do this for you, but after reading about someone who used AI to find their color palette, I decided to give it a whirl using Copilot.

Why knowing your color palette changes everything

When you land on the right colors, something subtle but undeniable happens—you look more rested, more present, more you.

Knowing your palette isn’t about rules—it’s about relief. Fewer decisions. Fewer “why does this look off on me?” moments. More pieces that actually earn their place in your life.

What a personal color palette actually does for you

• Clarifies your style: You stop chasing trends that fight your undertones.
• Saves money: Fewer “orphan” pieces in your closet and makeup bag.
• Simplifies shopping: You scan for your colors instead of everything.
• Boosts confidence: You trust that what you’re wearing supports your presence.
• Creates cohesion: Outfits, lipstick, and accessories start to harmonize.

What I learned

I uploaded my headshot and asked my AI bot—his name is Sage—to tell me what my color palette is. Within seconds, Sage told me my coloring leans warm neutral with soft, sunlit undertones and medium contrast. The colors that flatter me most sit in the Warm Spring / Light Spring family—fresh, bright, and golden without being loud.

Colors like coral and apricot popped up…and I do not have a single item in my closet in those shades. Camel and tans appeared as well, which are colors I already love to wear.

Here’s what came back:

My core undertone

Warm neutral
Your skin carries a gentle golden warmth, but not so warm that you need heavy yellows. Colors with a clear, bright, slightly warm base will light you up.

My best color families

• Warm corals — soft, lively, never too neon
• Peach and apricot — perfect for blush, tops, and lip color
• Golden beige + warm camel — ideal neutrals for jackets and knits
• Warm reds — tomato red, poppy red, geranium
• Clear warm pinks — watermelon, warm rose
• Light warm blues — aqua, turquoise, robin’s egg
• Fresh greens — mint, warm jade, light olive
• Soft golds — jewelry and accents

My custom palette

Neutrals

• Warm ivory
• Light camel
• Golden beige
• Soft warm gray
• Warm taupe

Colors

• Coral
• Watermelon pink
• Apricot
• Poppy red
• Warm rose
• Aqua
• Turquoise
• Mint
• Warm jade
• Light olive

Then Sage asked if I wanted to use my palette to create a 10-piece capsule wardrobe—including tops, bottoms, layers, and one statement piece.

Here’s what came back:

• Warm ivory blouse
• Golden beige trousers
• Light camel cardigan
• Warm taupe pants
• Coral knit
• Apricot blouse
• Mint cardigan
• Light olive pants
• Warm rose dress
• Camel coat

Now I can see how my colors work together, even before I buy anything. Once Sage named my warm neutral, light-bright palette, coral stopped feeling “maybe too much” and started sounding like a color I’ll actually try. Camel stopped feeling “a bit dull” and became a power neutral.

Makeup notes from Sage

• Blush: peach, apricot, warm rose
• Lips: coral, warm rose, soft red
• Eyeshadow: warm taupe, champagne, soft gold
• Jewelry: gold over silver (though soft champagne silver can still work)

Why this matters beyond style

Color is emotional. It communicates warmth, clarity, confidence, and approachability before you say a word. When your palette aligns with your natural coloring, you look like the most coherent version of yourself—no effort, no overthinking.

How AI can help you find your color palette

AI can’t replace your eye or your intuition—but it can give you:

• A structured starting point
• Language for what you’re seeing
• Ideas you might not have considered
