COLOUR ANALYSIS is the process of determining the most flattering colours for an individual based on their natural features, such as skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour. The goal of colour analysis is to identify a person's "seasonal colour palette," which consists of a range of colours that harmonise with their complexion and enhance their natural beauty. This makes shopping for make up and clothing so much easier, saving you time and money.

The Concept

The concept of Colour Analysis was originally popularised by image consultants and stylists some time ago but it’s back in a big way. The idea is that certain colours can make a person's skin and eyes appear vibrant and healthy, while others can make them look dull or washed out. By wearing the right colours, individuals can enhance their appearance, look more youthful, and create a much more positive impression.

Colour analysis typically categorises individuals into one of four main colour seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. Each season is associated with a specific colour palette that complements the person's undertone and contrasts with their natural colouring. Here is a brief overview of the colour palettes for each season:

Spring

Spring complexions have warm and light undertones. Their colour palette includes bright, warm colours with a golden undertone, such as apricot, peach, coral, apple green and turquoise.

Summer

Summer complexions have cool, light and muted undertones. Their colour palette includes colours such as sky blue, lavender, dusty pinks and cool greys.

Autumn

Autumn complexions have warm, rich and deep undertones. Their colour palette includes warm, spicy and earthy tones, such as deep oranges, olive greens, warm browns, and golden yellows.

Winter

Winter complexions have cool and deep undertones. Their colour palette includes bold and vibrant colours with a cool undertone, such as deep jewel tones like royal blue, emerald, green, fuchsia, and pure white or black.

It is important to note that Colour Analysis is not an exact science, and individual variations can exist within each season. Additionally, personal style preferences and trends can also influence colour choices. The purpose of colour analysis is to provide a starting point and guidance for choosing colours that are likely to enhance an individual's natural appearance.

The Method

The method for Colour Analysis is specific colour draping. Different coloured fabric drapes are placed near the face to observe the impact on the complexion. Here, factors like eye colour, hair colour, and overall contrast levels are considered to refine the colour recommendations. It is such a helpful tool for individuals who want to make more informed choices when it comes to clothing, makeup, and accessories. By understanding their seasonal colour palette, individuals can create a coordinated and flattering wardrobe that enhances their natural beauty.
