Phone-camera undertone test keeps giving me conflicting impressions

[Gracepr]

I am editing my clothes down to a small group of pieces that work together in ordinary daily life. I enjoy colour but I do not want the exercise to become an excuse to replace everything I already own. I already have several dark neutral pieces so I am mainly trying to choose two or three accent colours that feel coherent. Some photos suggest a muted direction and that makes broad recommendations harder to translate into actual decisions. I am learning that surrounding colours affect the impression which is why a single online swatch is not enough for me. I would rather test a few scarves before committing to any new clothes or makeup. I plan to test one accent at a time so the final choice reflects comfort as well as a quick mirror check. A what is my color palette starting point made the options feel less abstract but I am still interested in how real people turn that information into a restrained plan. For anyone who shops carefully which first purchases taught you the most without creating clutter?
