Is Colour Analysis just for one skin tone? No, no, no 🙅♀️
This is one of the most persistent myths I hear in my practice, and it is crucial to address it because every single human being on earth has an intrinsic, beautiful colour palette.
The beauty of the system is its universality. Swipe to see the diversity of palettes I’ve had the privilege of decoding.
Why The System Works For All: The Physics of Light.
My methodology is not based on ethnicity; it is based on the universal physics of light. We are simply decoding three things in your complexion (skin, hair and eyes):
- Hue (Temperature): Is your complexion’s undertone cooler (blue-based) or warmer (yellow-based)?
- Value (Depth): How light or deep is your overall complexion (hair, skin, eyes)?
- Chroma (Clarity/Saturation): How bright or muted is your natural colouring?
These three dimensions apply equally to everyone.
The incredible variety we see in the Black community, for instance, perfectly illustrates why a one-size-fits-all approach fails:
Some Black clients look stunning in the high-contrast, cool deep and clear palette - typically Winter colours - but others with similarly cool-toned features need to wear softer colours with a lower contrast.
Others, with warmer features, thrive in the rich, earthy and muted tones of Autumn but some will need to wear darker shades, others, lighter shades to make the most of their unique features.
Melanin content changes the result, but not the process. My job is to see the individual spectrum of beauty and provide the precise formula that makes your unique palette amplify your presence. A warmhearted thank you for the Lovely pictures of my dear Alois and me.
