The Benefits of Colour Analysis

Do you know what colours suit you the best?  Does your wardrobe consist of clothes that are primarily black or white?

There are two ways to approach colour decision:  intuitively and intellectually.  This is usually achieved when you combine a little of what you feel with a lot of what you know.  Colour logic is learned and everyone can learn the logistics of colour and its application.

The colour you wear is the first thing that others notice about you.  By expanding your knowledge of colour you will be able to inspire others and enjoy the benefits of perceptive colour selection. 

By having a personal Colour Analysis consultation, you will learn ‘how’ and ‘why’ some colours enhance your appearance, giving the look of health, youth and vitality.  Your Personal Colour Swatch and Colour Profile Booklet can be used to mix and match your clothing and for purchasing clothing and make-up colours that suit you the best.

A few colour pointers to remember along the way:


  1. Light and bright colours are advancing which enlarge the area to which they are applied.
  2. Dark colours recede and diminish size.  This is why we tend to love black so much – it makes us look taller and thinner!  Try navy, dark brown or forest green instead.
  3. Dressing in monochromatic colours (two colours of similar intensity) leave you looking taller and thinner.
  4. By choosing to wear a dark colour on the bottom and a light colour on the top, you will appear taller.  The  reverse is true wearing a dark top and a light bottom.

Join us today for our fun, informative and interesting Colour Analysis consultation so you can begin to enjoy a wardrobe of freedom, choice and colour!
