What Is Colour Analysis?

Discover how knowing your best colours can transform the way you look and feel. Colour analysis identifies the shades that harmonise with your unique skin tone, eyes and hair—so getting dressed becomes easy and confidence comes naturally.

So… What Is Colour Analysis?

Colour analysis is the process of finding your personal colour harmony—the clothing, makeup and accessory shades that naturally enhance your complexion. Using precision-dyed drapes placed beneath your face, we observe how different hues affect your skin clarity, eye brightness and overall radiance. From there, we map you to a palette that blends seamlessly with your natural colouring.

The Four Seasons of Colour

Modern colour analysis organises harmony into four main seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter—each with a distinct mix of undertone (warm/cool), depth (light/dark) and intensity (bright/soft).

The Four Seasons of Colour Analysis: how undertone, brightness and depth interact.
  • Spring – Warm, light, bright (golden peach, turquoise, coral, warm greens).
  • Summer – Cool, soft, light (rose pink, powder blue, lavender, soft navy).
  • Autumn – Warm, deep, muted (olive, terracotta, mustard, chocolate brown).
  • Winter – Cool, deep, bright (fuchsia, royal blue, emerald, pure white).

What Happens in a Hue & You Session?

In your session, you’ll wear a white cape while I test a sequence of warm vs. cool, light vs. deep and bright vs. soft drapes in natural daylight. You’ll see changes instantly—clearer eyes, smoother-looking skin, and an overall lift. Once we confirm your palette, I’ll show you how to apply it to outfits, makeup and accessories so you can dress with ease every day.

Why Colour Analysis Matters

  • Radiance with less effort: skin looks fresher and more even without heavy makeup.
  • Clear, bright eyes: harmonious colours bring natural definition.
  • Smarter shopping: a cohesive wardrobe that mixes and matches beautifully.
  • Confidence: outfits feel aligned with who you are.

Putting Your Palette to Work

Start with a capsule wardrobe built around your season’s best neutrals and add accent colours for variety. Choose lip, blush and eye shades from your palette; take your colour fan when shopping; and use accessories to add a pop that still flatters your natural colouring.
