Signs You Might Need a Colour Analysis
You might be thinking, “What’s so important about knowing my best colours? I just wear what I like!” And I get it. Most of us choose colours based on how they make us feel - calm, happy, energized. We also have emotional associations with certain colours. I love a good pop of orange in graphic design or decor… but on me? It clashes hard with my naturally cool undertone and makes my skin look orange. That’s the thing - there’s a big difference between colours we like and colours that actually look good on us.
A personal colour analysis helps bridge that gap. It’s not about limiting your style - it’s about unlocking your best palette so you can shop smarter, style easier, and feel more confident in what you wear.
Here are 9 signs you might need a personal colour analysis:
You have a full closet, but feel like you have “nothing to wear.”
If you constantly cycle through outfits and still don’t feel good in any of them, it might be a colour issue—not a wardrobe one.
You look pale, tired, or “off” in certain clothes, and you’re not sure why.
It’s not you - it’s likely the colour reflecting poorly on your skin tone, making you look dull instead of radiant.
You feel like you have to wear makeup just to pull off certain outfits.
The right colours can actually enhance your natural features - no extra effort needed.
Something about your outfit feels off, but you can’t put your finger on it.
Often, the wrong colour (both in clothing and makeup) can throw off your whole look, even if the fit and style are perfect.
Your clothes don’t seem to match or coordinate easily.
A cohesive colour palette makes mixing and matching effortless (and way more fun).
You’re stuck in a “neutrals only” rut.
Many clients tell me they default to black, grey, and brown because it feels “safe.” But not everyone can wear black well - and there are way more flattering neutrals out there.
Shopping stresses you out because you can’t decide on colours.
Knowing your best shades takes the guesswork out of shopping. You’ll instantly know what to skip and what’s worth trying.
You want to feel more put-together without overhauling your entire wardrobe.
Even small colour tweaks, like changing your top, lipstick, or accessories, can make a huge difference.
Maybe it’s not the outfit - it’s your makeup or hair colour.
Sometimes, the problem isn’t your clothing at all. You might be wearing a perfectly good outfit, but your hair dye or makeup choices are clashing with your natural colouring. Did you know bronzer isn’t for everyone? Or that a smoky eye can actually drain your face if it’s the wrong tone? Personal colour analysis helps align your entire look, not just your closet.
