I got a colour analysis and I didn’t like my colours. What happens next?

Oct 10, 2024 | 8 comments

When I got into colour analysis some years ago now, I never expected how much of a hot topic this would become a few years later. I mean, have you read through some of the comments on colour analysis testing videos on either TikTok, IG or YouTube? People take the matter quite seriously, too much sometimes if you ask me… Though it can be entertaining to read through, let’s just talk about it.

Colour analysis is MAGICAL, for sure. There’s a reason why I enjoy what I do so much, don’t get me wrong. Heck, I see the impact it has with every client I meet. 

But colour analysis is also not a religion. While it’s backed by colour science (I’m talking about Munsell here), it’s not rocket science in itself. Being “mis-typed” (I really dislike that term by the way!!) can happen, two skilfully trained and experienced consultants may sometimes disagree and even you as a client may not like the result you are given.

IT’S. ALL. GOOD.

With colour analysis we’re given an opportunity to explain, at least to some extent, why some colours make us look radiant and awake while others make us look as tired as ever, draining the life off our faces. We’re given the opportunity to catch those regret-purchases before we even make them, as well as a chance to streamline our wardrobes more.

At the end of the day though, colour and style are subjective matters. My eyes and your eyes might not always align, and we won’t always see things in the same way. I’m a SOFT colour type through and through, I thrive off decorating with the calm, muted colours and neutrals and I couldn’t be happier that this is also what my recommended colour palette looks like for clothing and makeup. For people who have a more bright spirit (or even CLEAR colour types as we do sometimes see a connection between who you are and the colours that suit you – interesting, right?), the soft colours will be dull, energy draining and boring.

So if you’re “deemed” a SOFT but this doesn’t feel like you, then peace be with that! Although I praise colour analysis and I encourage giving it a go if you’re looking for a bit of a style glow-up, sometimes it turns out not to be the best approach for the individual and that’s okay. Working through the basics of the colour wheel and how different colours may look when combined is another approach many people swear by.

Mindful wardrobe curation is about learning what styling tools are available first and foremost – but at the end of the day YOU get to decide which tools to rely on in your styling toolbox. There are other ways to work and play with colours that aren’t connected to what “technically suits” you. 

SO if you tried colour analysis and it turned out not to be for you – it’s okay!

    `I always thought I was a ‘Winter’ but I got an online ‘Color Me Beautiful’ cheap AI based analysis which said I was Spring. At first I doubted it.

    But reading up on it I have realised that Clear/Bright Spring is very close to Winter and actually there are colours that I have worn (such as a favourite bright orange scarf) which are Clear Spring, not Winter. So I have naturally been drawn to some Spring colours without realising it. Brown is in Spring which is not something I would normally wear but I have brought a brown fair isle jumper and I wore it once this week and got 2 compliments, whereas normally I get no compliments and no one notices what I am wearing (or so I thought).

    I have bought a little swatch that I can take out shopping, so am ready to branch out to trying different colours.
