![]() If your new seasonal palette is quite different than what’s already in your wardrobe, it can take some time after your color analysis to rebuild and update. I can’t afford a new wardrobe all at once…how do I start to incorporate my new colors? So in the simplest format, the color seasons could be described like this:ģ. ![]() For our purposes, most colors are either warm or cool (yellow-based or blue-based) and bright or soft. The color system developed by Itten is still in use today by graphic artists, interior designers, etc. The system I was analyzed and later trained in is based on the work of Johannes Itten, a painter and teacher and color theorist from the Bauhaus school in the 1920’s. There are also a lot of different systems in use, with different seasons or palette parameters. There’s a lot of information (and MIS-information) floating around these days about seasonal color analysis. So an Autumn might be a Soft Autumn, a Vibrant Autumn, an Autumn Leaf, or a Blue Autumn, depending on which colors within the palette are best for that person. But within each season are several variations. Yes, you’ll find your best colors will reside within one of the four seasonal palettes. The color analysis we practice today is a a highly individualized process that results in a unique color palette for each person. Seasonal color analysis has come a long way since the “Color Me Beautiful” system in the 80’s. ![]() I absolutely LOVE doing personal color analysis! There’s always that moment when you drape someone in a color that absolutely lights them up ✨ and it’s like magic! What seasonal color analysis looks like now Fast forward three years (thanks to the pandemic) and I was finally able to complete the Color and Style course with Red Leopard in February 2022. I’m not exaggerating when I say it was life changing! Within a few weeks, I knew I wanted to go back to London for training to be able to offer this service here in Southern California. In 2019 while visiting London, I had a personal color analysis with Red Leopard. Today I’m answering some of the questions I’m asked most often about color analysis. (And conversely, wearing colors that are not in harmony can make you look tired, ill, harsh, or faded.) But how do you find your best colors? I highly recommend having a personal color analysis by a trained consultant. Who wouldn’t want to look more vibrant, energetic, healthy, and confident? Wearing colors that are in harmony with your own coloring will help you unlock those results.
