Debunking the Most Common Myths About Colour Analysis

Mar 22, 2023 · Colour Theory

Where we believe that everyone should feel confident and empowered in their personal style. Today, we want to address some of the most common myths about colour analysis, a service we offer to help our clients understand which colours flatter their unique features and complexion. 

 Myth #1: There are only four or five seasons. 

While some colour analysis systems categorise individuals into four or five seasons, the reality is that skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour have many variations and nuances. At Science of Style, we use a comprehensive approach that takes into account these subtle differences to provide our clients with personalised recommendations that enhance their natural beauty. 

Myth #2: Colour analysis is only for women. 

Men also benefit from a colour analysis. Understanding which colours complement your features can help you create a cohesive wardrobe that reflects your personality and boosts your confidence. At Science of Style, we offer colour analysis services to all of our clients, regardless of gender.

Myth #3: Colour analysis is only for clothing. 

While colour analysis is often associated with clothing choices, it can also be useful in other areas of your life. For example, understanding which colours flatter your complexion can help you choose makeup shades that enhance your natural beauty. It can also be applied to home decorating, landscaping, and even garden design. 

Myth #4: Once you know your colours, you always wear that colour palette. 

While knowing your colour type is a great starting point, it's important to note that your palette might change as you age and your complexion changes. Additionally, not all colours in your palette will necessarily suit you if you don't take into account your correct contrast level. We provide ongoing support to our clients to help them make the most of their colour analysis results.

Myth #5: Colour analysis is only for fair-skinned people. 

Colour analysis can be done for all skin tones, and different systems may have different ways of approaching darker skin tones. Our Director, Alison, uses an accredited and reputable system to provide you with personalised recommendations that flatter your unique complexion. 

 It's important to keep in mind that colour analysis is not an exact science and different consultants may have different opinions on which colours suit a person best. Ensure the person doing your Analysis is experienced, trained and is using an accredited or reputable system.
