The passage discusses various attempts at determining an individual's skin tone or 'season' using online color analysis tools, specifically focusing on their effectiveness for individuals with darker complexions.

After trying several websites that promised to analyze colors based on one's undertones (cool, warm, etc.), the author found mixed results and often ended up feeling lost. Some sites gave conflicting recommendations about which colors would look good on them or provided unclear instructions.

One particular site claimed to offer more accurate analysis by allowing users to upload multiple photos of themselves in different lighting conditions. However, even after an hour of analyzing dozens of images, the author remained unsure about their skin tone classification.

Frustrated with these results, the author decided to take matters into her own hands and attempt color analysis herself using a book on the subject by makeup artist Byrdie Bell Jackson. Despite following the instructions carefully, she still found it difficult to determine her true season due to the lack of diverse examples provided in both the book and online resources.

The passage concludes with several criticisms regarding current approaches to skin tone classification:

1) The reliance solely on white models for color analysis demonstrations is deemed insufficient since people of different ethnicities may have varying undertones, skintones etc.

2) It suggests that relying only on personal preferences rather than actual knowledge about one's specific pigmentation type can lead to incorrect conclusions.

Overall, the passage highlights some common issues encountered when trying out online tools for determining skin tone or season and emphasizes the need for more inclusive resources that cater specifically to individuals with darker complexions.
