SECTION 01
1. Set up first
Half the accuracy is lighting. Stand by a window in midday daylight, remove makeup, pull hair back, and drape a white cloth or paper over your shoulders.
- iAvoid fluorescent and cool-white LED: they distort color.

2. Read warm vs cool, fast
Check three signals. Wrist veins reading green lean warm, blue lean cool. If gold lifts your face you're warm, silver you're cool. If ivory flatters you more than pure white, warm.
SECTION 03
3. Where self-tests fall short
Vein and metal tests are hints, not verdicts. You also need value, chroma, and contrast to land among the 16 types. The eye is easily fooled by light and expectation: the same person can get a different answer each day.
SECTION 04
4. Confirm it objectively
