What is Colour Analysis
Personal colour analysis is a refined method that identifies the seasonal palette which naturally harmonises with your unique skin tone, hair, and eyes—revealing the hues that enhance your presence and bring out your most polished self.
Rooted in precise colour theory, the process examines three key characteristics of your natural colouring:
Temperature — warm (golden undertones) or cool (blue undertones)
Value — light to deep
Chroma — bright and clear or soft and muted
At Colour Decode, we use the comprehensive 16-season system, which expands the traditional four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter) into 16 nuanced sub-seasons. This allows for exceptional accuracy, capturing subtle flows and blends in your colouring to create a truly personalised palette.
The Four Core Seasons
Spring — Warm, light, and bright hues that evoke freshness and vitality
Summer — Cool, light, and soft tones for a gentle, refined elegance
Autumn — Warm, deep, and muted shades with rich, earthy depth
Winter — Cool, deep, and bright colours that deliver striking clarity
Each season is further divided into precise sub-seasons, ensuring your palette reflects the full spectrum of your natural undertones and intensity.
How the Process Works
In your private session, we carefully drape selected fabrics against your skin to observe how different colours interact with your features. Draining shades are set aside, while those that brighten your complexion, soften shadows, and add vitality are highlighted.
This step-by-step analysis determines your dominant characteristics, assigning you to one of the 16 seasons—with additional insight into any flowing elements for even greater precision.
