What's the problem? Shunsui said you will only be able to cut the colour you call out, also the colour that's a greater risk to you will do greater damage, regardless of how strong the attack.

If you take into account all the colours on Starrk's apparel, the only thing white on him is his vest and gloves. The rest of his apparel is either gray or black, including his hollow hole. So the amount of damage inflicted is dependent on the percentage of whatever colour is on oneself.

In this case, Shunsui's black robe covered about 85% of his body, therefore he was able to inflict a grievous injury on Starrk.
