Seasonal Colour Analysis: The Secret to Unlocking Your Best Colours

Seasonal colour analysis is a method of identifying the colours that naturally harmonise with your skin tone, eye colour, and hair colour. By working out which shades bring balance and radiance to your features, you’ll discover a personal palette that makes shopping, styling, and dressing effortless.

Instead of trial and error in the fitting room, you’ll know exactly which colours to reach for—and which ones to avoid.

The roots of colour analysis go back to the early 20th century, influenced by art and design theories around colour harmony. But it really became popular in the 1980s with Carole Jackson’s book “Color Me Beautiful”, which introduced the four seasonal system:

  • Spring – warm, light, bright colours

  • Summer – cool, soft, muted colours

  • Autumn – warm, rich, earthy colours

  • Winter – cool, bold, high-contrast colours

Over time, this has expanded into more detailed systems (like 12 or 16 seasons), but the principle remains: the colours you wear should reflect and enhance the natural tones you already have.

Example of where the colour palettes are derived from - nature’s colours during the four seasons.

A professional colour analysis session helps you:

  • Identify your best neutrals (yes, there’s more than one shade of black or beige!)

  • Find your ideal accent colours that lift your features

  • Learn how to combine shades into cohesive outfits

  • Shop more intentionally and reduce decision fatigue

  • Build a capsule wardrobe that works together with ease

It’s not just about clothes—your palette can guide you in choosing makeup shades, hair colours, and even accessories.

The right colours will:

  • Make your skin look brighter and more even

  • Reduce the need for heavy makeup

  • Highlight your natural features

  • Give you confidence that what you’re wearing is working for you, not against you

The wrong colours can leave you looking tired, washed out, or older than you are. Once you experience the difference, it’s almost impossible not to notice it again.

You can read about colour analysis, but nothing compares to a personalised consultation. With my guidance, you’ll:

  • See real-time comparisons that show you the difference instantly

  • Receive a curated colour palette to keep and use while shopping

  • Understand how to integrate your colours into your existing wardrobe

  • Leave feeling empowered and confident in your style choices

Whether in-person or online, a colour analysis session is a one-time investment with lifelong benefits.
