Colour Analysis

Colour is probably the area of clothes selection that most of us ignore or neglect.  Often our attitude to colour when clothes shopping is “If it fits and the price is right, I can live with the colour”.

When the face is surrounded by tones of colours that enliven the face’s natural vitality, its ability to provoke immediate and positive responses is heightened.

You probably own a few outfits that always provoke comments like “You look great today!” or “That colour suits you!”  You will look good and feel great. Then again, you have probably worn clothes that make you look pale and tired, even if it is a new outfit and you paid a fortune for it. And what’s more, you notice that you need to put more make-up on.

"Every one must be aware that colour has a great influence on the appearance of the complexion; and that different complexions require different colours to enhance or improve them.”

George Ashdown Audsley “Colour in Harmony”.

Your skin, hair and eyes react to the colours around them, absorbing colours that match your undertone and reflecting colours that oppose it. Its why some brides look great in white and others look better in ivory. And it’s why you look great in some colours and completely washed out in others.

That’s the power of colour. It can make you or break you
