Discover the Magic of Colour Analysis

What is Colour Analysis?

Colour analysis is a method used to determine which colours of clothing, makeup, and accessories best suit your natural colouring—your skin tone, eye colour, and hair colour. It’s often grouped into seasons like Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each containing specific palettes that enhance your natural glow.

How Does Seasonal Colour Analysis Work?

Seasonal colour analysis matches you to one of the four main colour seasons based on your undertones (warm or cool) and value/contrast (light, medium, or deep).

• Spring: Warm & light

• Summer: Cool & soft

• Autumn: Warm & rich

• Winter: Cool & clear

  
  

There’s also an extended system called the 12-season system, which offers more nuance (e.g., “Light Spring” or “Deep Autumn”). The 16 Season Systems offer even more nuanced approaches.

How Do I Know If I Need a Colour Analysis?

If you’ve ever:

• Struggled to find clothes that suit you

• Bought items you never wear because they “just don’t look right”

• Wanted a more cohesive, flattering wardrobe

  
  

...then colour analysis is for you! It helps simplify shopping, boost your confidence, and ensure your outfits feel authentically you.

Is Colour Analysis Only About Clothing?

Not at all! While wardrobe choices are the most obvious application, colour analysis can also guide:

• Makeup choices (lipstick, blush, eyeshadow)

• Hair colour decisions

• Accessories (scarves, glasses, jewellery)

  
  

Can Colour Analysis Help with Capsule Wardrobes?

Absolutely. Once you know your best colours, building a capsule wardrobe becomes so much easier. You’ll choose pieces that mix and match effortlessly, saving you time, money, and decision fatigue.

Can I Do Colour Analysis Online?

Yes! Many professionals offer virtual colour analysis services, where you submit clear photos or complete a guided question form. While in-person sessions provide more precision, online analysis has become very accurate thanks to specific detailed requirements such as draping photos/videos, historical photos, and qualified trained consultants.

What If I Don’t Like the Colours in My Season?

This is more common than you think! First, remember that a colour palette is flexible. You’re not locked into wearing only those exact shades. Often, once clients experiment with their seasonal colours, they grow to love them.

You can also choose colours from your palette that align with your personal style, and mix in neutrals and accessories creatively.

How Often Should I Get a Colour Analysis?

Usually, you only need to do it once, especially if done professionally. However, some people revisit it after major changes like:

• Aging (especially into grey hair and skin pigment)

• Significant skin changes

  
  

What’s the Difference Between Warm and Cool Undertones?

• Warm undertones: Yellow, peachy, or golden tones in the skin. Warm-based colours work better.

• Cool undertones: Pink, red, or bluish hues. Cool colours tend to flatter more.

• Neutral undertones: This means your skin has a balanced mix of warm and cool tones, without one clearly dominating, closer to neutral with a slight warm or cool leaning.

  
  

Still unsure? A colour analysis helps clarify this with expert precision.

Is Colour Analysis Limiting?

Not at all! Many people think being “assigned a palette” means restriction. In reality, it’s about discovering what elevates you and makes you feel more vibrant and confident. It helps you save time and money in the long run. It’s a creative tool, not a rulebook.
