A face is a match if its closest shade is within ΔE 3.0, a near miss up to 5.5, otherwise a gap. 3 is a common industry bar.
Rough mix of US foundation shoppers by depth group. Share by depth group: I 10% · II 24% · III 24% · IV 18% · V 14% · VI 10%.
SHADEGAP picks the shades that rescue the most market share first, and stops early if nothing is left to fix.
