COLOUR CLINIC

PERSONAL COLOUR ANALYSIS IN LONDON

Do you sometimes look in the mirror and feel like you’re glowing? That’s the magic of wearing colours that truly suit you—a result that can be uncovered with expert colour analysis. But how can you be sure you’re choosing the right shades every time you shop?

The answer is our Colour Clinic, a brilliantly simple way of getting your colours done through expert colour analysis. We’ll help you identify your season and create a personal palette that will help you look and feel your best.

Knowing which colours truly suit you can also help you avoid expensive shopping mistakes and ensure that the clothes you buy are the ones you’ll wear again and again. It’s an investment in you that pays for itself.

Colour Analysis: Reveal your true colours

While some colour analysts break the range of colours down into just four seasons, we take a more in-depth approach. By exploring the underlying notes for each season, we have created eighteen sub-seasons, each with its own colour palette. This will allow us to home in on colours that will bring out the best in you every time.

How does the colour clinic work?

While some colour analysts break the range of colours down into just four seasons, we take a more in-depth approach. By exploring the underlying notes for each season, we have created eighteen sub-seasons, each with its own colour palette. This allows us to home in on colours that will bring out the best in you every time.

Your Colour Clinic lasts approximately one hour. This comprehensive colour consultation gives us time to fully explore all the colour analysis techniques that allow us to find your perfect shades.

Some of the techniques we use include:

  • Identifying your skin tone and undertones, as well as your hair, eye and lip colours, with skin colour analysis.

  • We’ll then use specialist colour capes to identify your primary season.

  • Next, using our colour analysis experience and trained eye, we’ll take you through a range of colour drapes to decide which sub-season colour palette is right for you. 

  • We’ll also pick out the show-stopper colours from your palette that give you the extra wow factor.

  • We finish by recommending the jewellery colours and make-up shades that best complement your skin tone and features to complete your colour-confidence look.

At the end of your session, you will know which colours suit you best, how certain colours lift you whilst making you glow and be able to shop with confidence every time.

Let’s talk about colour analysis - What are my colours?

In colour analysis, we break the colours into four main seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Each season has a different colour palette and tonal distribution. Spring is light and bright, while Autumn is deep and warm, for example. Each of these seasons is broken up further into a variety of what we call subseasons. This gives us a good range of colours to work with in each season and allows us to find your season colour and its subseasons to help you look your best.

Colour analyse your face

Your face is what we see most in the outside world, so colour analysis does not just stop at the clothes you wear. We analyse your skin tone, lip colour, hair colour and eye colour. This gives us a complete view of what colours will work best for you, not just for clothes but for make-up and jewellery too.

Your personal colour palette

By analysing your own colours and finding your seasonal colours, we can prepare your personal palette. Everyone will have a different season of colours that suit them best. You may be best served wearing Spring or Summer colours, or richer Autumn and Winter hues may suit you better.

Whichever season you fall into, your personal palette will help you look particularly radiant and stunning. 

Even with the 18-colour system we use, your personal palette might fall in between seasons. So, we try each colour on as we build up your unique personal palette.
