A Guide to
Colour Analysis

Have you ever been told that wearing a certain coloured top or dress really suits you? Or felt that certain colours make you feel a little washed out? This is where colour analysis can help. By understanding what shades suit you best, and those to avoid, based on your skin, eye and hair colour, you can achieve the best possible looks to suit your individual appearance.

What is a colour analysis test?

A colour analysis test determines which colours suit you the most, based upon features of your appearance such as your skin colour, eye colour and hair colour.

After taking the test, you will receive one of twelve colour seasons, which come with a palette of colours that should look best on you.

How to do colour analysis

You can visit a stylist who completes a colour analysis for you and often helps you plan outfits based on the result. However, this can cost anywhere from £150 to £650.

Alternatively, you can do your own free online colour analysis through a trusted website, or even using an AI tool such as Chat GPT.

Another great option is through TikTok or Instagram filters, which help you visually see how the different colours look on you.
