Colour Analysis Guide

Learn about seasonal colour analysis and discover how finding your perfect palette can transform your wardrobe and enhance your natural beauty.

What is Colour Analysis?

Colour analysis is a method used to determine which colours best complement an individual's natural colouring. It's based on the theory that certain colours harmonise with your skin tone, eye colour, and hair colour, while others may clash or detract from your natural beauty.

The concept was popularised in the 1980s with the publication of "Colour Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson, which introduced the idea of categorising people into four "seasonal" colour palettes: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Since then, colour analysis has evolved to include more nuanced systems, such as the 12-season method, which provides even more specific colour recommendations.

At Huelooks, we use advanced AI technology to analyse your seasonal colour palette and recommend clothing items that will enhance your natural features, making you look and feel your best.

The Four Seasonal Palettes

Discover which seasonal colour palette enhances your natural beauty and complements your unique features.

Winter

Winter palettes feature cool, clear, and contrasting colours. If you have high contrast between your hair, skin, and eyes, you might be a Winter.

Spring

Spring palettes include warm, clear, and bright colours. If you have golden undertones and light to medium hair, you might be a Spring.

Summer

Summer palettes consist of cool, muted, and delicate colours. If you have cool undertones and low contrast between your hair, skin, and eyes, you might be a Summer.

Autumn

Autumn palettes showcase warm, muted, and rich colours. If you have warm undertones and golden or reddish hair, you might be an Autumn.
