We help you find your TRUE colours
Never underestimate the importance of colour and the difference it can make to how we look and feel.
Colours that are going to look the best on a person are colours that harmonise with that person’s own personal colour properties in their eyes, skin and hair.
We perceive colours to be either warm or cool and in colour analysis this is usually one of the first steps – to determine whether a person has a warm or cool undertone. Blue based colours are cool and yellow based colours are warm.
We also look at intensity of colour – in other words the brightness or muted-ness (smokiness) of a colour. The bright colours have strong chroma and greyed/muted/toned-down colours have weak chroma. A colour is considered bright when it is cool and clear. A colour is known as muted/smoky when it is greyed down or neutralised.
Value is defined as the relationship between light and dark with the measure being made along a scale from white to black. Each hue has a value as it appears on the colour wheel. For example Yellow is naturally light whilst Indigo is naturally deep.
There is so much more to a colour analysis than just whether a person is “warm” or “cool”. Once you go through a colour analysis session you will feel more confident about what colours actually look the best on you. You will know that your skin will look its clearest and brightest with the correct colours, your eyes will stand out especially if you wear colours that are what are known as “eye enhancers” and your overall appearance will be in harmony – clothing, skin tone, hair colour and eye colour. You may notice that if someone is wearing the wrong colour for them the clothing is noticed first. It should be the overall harmonious appearance that is noticed and the beholder’s eyes should always be drawn to the other person’s face.
