If I had to pick one character that perfectly summed up my relationship with color, it would be Wednesday Addams. In Netflix's latest take on the character, played by Jenna Ortega, Wednesday is so opposed to color that she supposedly breaks out in hives when she wears anything besides black or white. Sounds over the top. But let me tell you—it's not too far off from how I feel when I dare to step outside my dark, neutral comfort zone.

Case in point: last year's New York Fashion Week. I decided to spice things up with a pair of cherry-red Mary Janes. I spent the day side-eyeing every reflective surface, convincing myself that red was a bold choice (read: questioning every life decision). When I was home, I was itching to switch back to my trusty dark-colored shoes to get some peace of mind. Back in my all-black ensemble the next day, I felt like myself again—calm, composed, and blissfully at ease.

This love-hate relationship with color was my status quo—until I discovered LookSky and its AI-powered color analysis feature.

LookSky and the Color Analysis Trend

You've probably seen the color analysis filter if you've spent even a few minutes scrolling through Fashion TikTok lately. This trend, tagged as "Armocromia," has been used over 600,000 times and claims to match you with the best colors for your skin tone. LookSky took this concept up a notch with its AI-powered tools, offering personalized color and style recommendations that make figuring out your palette easier. Naturally, as an online-obsessed fashion insider I was hooked. A tool that promises to elevate my wardrobe with data-backed color choices? Sign me up.

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone (Kind of)

But let's be honest—trying color analysis was a leap for me. I've spent years in the comfort of head-to-toe black outfits, relying on their magical qualities of making me feel powerful and chic. Venturing into the land of bright colors felt like a complete style overhaul and, frankly, a lot of work. But the LookSky app's user-friendly interface and AI insights made it feel less daunting. Was my all-black uniform making me happy?

The Big Reveal: Am I a "Winter"?

After experimenting with LookSky's AI-driven color tools, I braced myself for the results. I'd always imagined myself as a "True Winter," thinking my go-to dark palette perfectly aligned with that aesthetic. But when the app analyzed my skin tone, eye color, and overall features, it revealed I was way off—I'm a "Deep Autumn." This meant embracing rich hues like forest green, burnt orange, and brick red. At first, I was skeptical. Could I part with my beloved black?

What Changed (and What Stayed the Same)

Armed with my new color profile, I started experimenting. Don't worry—I'm not giving up my all-black wardrobe anytime soon. But now, I'm adding deep reds and navy blues for a splash of color that doesn't make me feel out of place. I even picked up a few statement pieces that align with my Deep Autumn palette, like warm burgundy shoes with gold accents and a cream-and-navy tote.

The Takeaway: The Power of Knowing Your Colors

Before trying LookSky, I thought the color analysis was not worth the hype. However, having a personalized palette has simplified my shopping and kept me from chasing trends that don't suit me. It's like having a style guide that lets me experiment without the stress. So, while I'll always love my head-to-toe black, I've found that a bit of color can go a long way. Even Wednesday Addams could occasionally use a bit of Deep Autumn energy.
