1. I’m reducing my wardrobe and would like a small group of colors that works with the clothes I already wear. My closet contains a lot of close shades that don’t quite match. I don’t need a perfect seasonal label, but I would like to understand why some combinations look calmer than others. My first thought is to pick two neutrals and one accent. Before removing anything, I want to try each top near my face in the same daylight and take notes. I’d also compare the colors with the jacket I wear most often. I found a guide on find my color palette while looking for a sensible way to organize that test. Is it better to settle on an accent only after testing the basics? I want to avoid keeping colors just because a chart says they belong to my season. If you’ve done this, how many colors proved useful day to day? I can lay the candidates out together before deciding. That should show which combinations I actually wear. I’m interested in a process that helps me use what I own before buying anything new. Any advice on narrowing the choices would help.

2. I have been comparing my undertone in photos but my results change more than I expected. Near a north-facing window my skin looks fairly neutral while warm indoor bulbs make it look noticeably golden. My phone also applies automatic white balance even when I keep the same position and background. I kept my face bare and wore a medium-gray shirt so clothing should not be adding much reflected color. I also want to compare those observations with a skin undertone test camera rather than trusting one image. Would it be better to lock exposure and white balance before taking a short series of photos? I could place a white sheet and a gray reference beside my face if that makes the comparison more useful. If you have repeated this kind of test, which lighting conditions were consistent, and which clues did you ignore? I would especially appreciate a routine I can repeat on another day before I start choosing hair or clothing colors from the result.
