Color architecture guide

Warm Olive Skin Tones

A color guide that treats skin tone as architecture, not a seasonal label.

Project story

Why it exists.

Warm olive skin can get flattened by broad seasonal labels. This project gives the category a more precise structure: earth pigments, grounded neutrals, softened jewel tones, and pairings that avoid washing the skin out.

The screen design is quiet on purpose. Color cards, hex values, pairing dots, outfit paths, and upload states keep the system practical instead of turning it into a loose inspiration board.

It belongs in the portfolio because it connects visual taste with recommendation logic. The beauty is in the restraint, but the product still gives the user a decision.

Direction

How the idea becomes usable.

Palette with rules

Each color has a role, a hex value, and pairing logic so the guide can be used while shopping or styling.

Outfit formulas

The product moves past swatches into combinations, contrast choices, and wearable examples.

Personalization path

Upload and results screens point toward a fuller recommendation flow without crowding the interface.

Hosting Path

The current shape is friendly to static hosting. A production version could keep the front end simple, then add API routes only where the workflow needs live data.
