Question 1

What Is Colour Analysis?

Accepted Answer

Colour analysis (also called seasonal colour analysis or personal color analysis) is a system that categorises your natural colouring into a “season” — such as Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. Each season has a palette of colours that harmonise with your skin tone, eye colour, and hair colour, helping you look more vibrant, healthy, and put-together.

Question 8

Should I choose a qualified colour analyst, or does it not matter?

Accepted Answer

✅ Yes, you should absolutely choose a professionally trained and qualified colour analyst.
Colour analysis is both an art and a science. While anyone can claim to offer colour analysis, a trained professional will have the skills, tools, and experience to:
 • Accurately assess your skin tone, undertones, eye and hair colour
 • Use correct lighting and draping techniques (virtually or in person)
 • Understand colour theory and the nuances of seasonal systems (4, 12, or even 16 seasons)
 • Provide tailored advice on wardrobe, makeup, and hair colour based on your season
Unqualified or self-taught individuals may rely too heavily on guesswork or generic self taught, which can lead to incorrect results, leaving you confused or misinformed about your best colours.
A properly trained colour analyst typically has:
 • Certification from a recognised colour analysis school or system and is accountable to its system
 • A structured method for analysis (not just intuition) that has sets out colour dimensions & characteristics for each palette. They are trained to know these specifications. 
 • Experience and client results to support their work
💬 Pro tip: Don’t be afraid to ask your analyst where they trained and what method they use. A professional will be happy to share their background and approach.
