Life in Colour - 14: What Exactly Is Colour Analysis and Why Does It Matter?

Episode Date: April 29, 2025

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on colour analysis — what it is, how it actually works, and why it’s so much more than just holding up a few colour swatches. I’ll walk y...ou through the full process I use with my clients, from the first impressions to the technical details I’m looking for when I figure out someone’s season. We’ll get into things like undertones, depth, clarity, temperature — all the nerdy (but fascinating!) parts of how colours interact with our natural features. I’m also sharing some of the common mistakes people make when trying to guess their own colours, and why professional analysis can make such a huge difference. If you’ve ever wondered how colour analysis actually works behind the scenes — and why it's about so much more than just “what looks nice” — this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for the power of finding your best colours.

Starting point is 00:00:42 This week, we are taking a deep dive into the world of color analysis. So obviously, as you know, that is at the heart of everything I do. It's my passion. It's what I love to do. And this has been a really requested episode to actually explain the ins and outs of seasonal color analysis, how I figure out someone's colors, but also, why it's important for you to know your colours. So before we deep dive into the technical stuff, and it is a bit technical, but I will hold your hand through it, I promise. And as always,
Starting point is 00:01:11 if you've got any questions, then you can ask away and send me an email or send me a DM. But seasonal color analysis, a lot of people think that it's a fad because of all the TikTok filters and because of all of the Instagram reels. Now, that couldn't be further from the truth, which we're going to get into. I'm just going to say this as a caveat at the beginning. those filters, I know that they can be fun, but with all due respect, they're not going to be able to tell you your colour palette, because once you've listened to this, you'll understand the science and the theory that goes behind it and the amount of time and effort that I spend making sure that I've got a client's colours perfect and right. Having a filter do it in 20 seconds is not going to do it
Starting point is 00:01:53 for you. I know that it can give you an idea. However, as you know, to give you an example, I am a light summer. If I had followed those, one classified me as a warm autumn. which is literally the furthest from the truth. Another one put me as a soft autumn. I was never ever put as cool-toned, which is what I actually am. But it makes such a difference. If you are thinking of getting a colour analysis done, do make sure that you book in with a colour expert who knows what they're doing
Starting point is 00:02:18 and that they are able to give you all the information and really help guide you on the beginning of your journey of knowing what colours to wear because it makes such a big difference. I know that a lot of people think that just by seeing that colour wheel or seeing the colours maybe even on Google when you've done a search. Yes, it can give you a starting point. But if you don't actually know your particular season and there are some surprises for clients, they think they are one thing.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Like I've had one client who she thought she was bright, like a bright spring. And she ended up being a soft autumn. And so it can be really different to either what you are thinking and that you've got in your head or what the filter has told you. So just a little bit of a caveat on that before we get into it. So what exactly is color analysis? So to give you a very brief overview on this bit, it is a personalized approach to finding out which colours suit you, your skin tone, your hair, your eye colour, all of that kind of thing coming
Starting point is 00:03:15 together to create a really harmonious look so that the colours really suit you rather than fighting you. And that can happen, especially if you're wearing the wrong kind of, like if you're a warm tone and you're wearing cool colours like blacks and greys, they're going to drain you and wash you out, they're not going to do anything for you. You might actually think that It's you that's the problem. It's not you at all. I always say this to clients. It's the color.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Nine times out of ten, it's the color. So the concept is based on the idea that each person will fit into the four distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, with each one of those having their own specific color palette. Now, just to note, your skin's undertone is different to your overtone, which is what we can see, like the skin when you match your foundation. Your undertone is what runs underneath and it's naked to be. the invisible eye. Now, I know that there are things out there and I have talked about these
Starting point is 00:04:06 tips and tricks that you can do at home to try and figure out whether you are warm or cool-toned, but just very briefly, you can have a look at your jewelry and see which one suits you best. Do you think silver suits you best, which would mean that you lean more cool? Or do you think gold suits you best, which leans obviously to the warm palettes? Now, when we talk about warm versus cool, there's a lot that comes into it. And this is where I start with all of my clients, figuring out if they're warm or cool. Now, some people, very rarely, but some people can be very neutral. I do find that clients tend to lean one way or the other ever so slightly.
Starting point is 00:04:43 But this is where I take it a lot further than, say, what that filter would do. I don't just test a couple of colors. I don't just test metallics. I test a whole range of colors, warm versus cool. And sometimes they can be similar colors. like two different shades of green, or they can be completely different. I can be looking at a chocolate versus a navy, say, for example, as a neutral, which one suits better? Is it the chocolate with the warmth and the richness? Or does that cool navy make them look fresh and bright? There are so many
Starting point is 00:05:14 different things when it comes to testing if you are warm or cool toned. But that is the basis of what colour analysis is all about. Now, just to give you a really brief history of colour analysis and where it came from. It's not something that has just become popular or just come out or like a fad that's around because you're seeing so many filters. It's actually been around for decades. Color analysis was first introduced to the world back in the 1970s by a lady called Bernice Kentner. She was a licensed cosmetologist since like 1950 and she developed her theory on seasonal color analysis. So it is very scientific based. And she published her own book in 1978 called Color Mia Season. And that was based on the first.
Starting point is 00:05:56 four seasons like the seasons of the year that I mentioned before. But today, seasonal color analysis has expanded way beyond into a system where you can have 12 or even 16 different seasons and subgroups, which gives so much more personalisation. Like for example, within spring, you have three different palettes within there. You have light spring. So that's the least bright. You have warm spring, which is the warmest out of all of the spring seasons. And then you have bright spring, which obviously is the brightest. Now, people can, before, when it was just the four seasons, they sort of would have a mix of all of those. But now we have the sub-seasons, you can really dial in and hone in on exactly the shades and
Starting point is 00:06:38 colors and everything that actually suits people. Color is one of the most important elements when it comes to style, fashion and design. Now, how it works with color is getting a bit scientific, I know. Colors appear when light waves are reflected and absorbed by objects. and the levels of color are described using terms like hue, value, and intensity. And I use a lot of this when I am working on my clients and doing a color analysis, whether that's in person or virtual. This is the process I'm looking at when I'm looking at all the different colors.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I'm going to take you through this, which is a bit more theory-based, and then I'm going to take you back a little bit, a step to then tell you how it all impacts to do with color analysis. Hugh refers to the name of a color. So if you think of primary hues, they are red, blue and yellow. Then these colours are mixed to create secondary colours. Then you have secondary hues of purple, green and orange. The mixing of a primary hue with a secondary hue then creates a tertiary colour.
Starting point is 00:07:40 On the colour wheel, you have warm colourways which are traditionally characterised as like your reds, oranges and yellows. And then cool colours have normally used to be characterised by blues, greens and purses. However, when it comes to seasonal color analysis, this is where we differ from the traditional color wheel. The majority of colors feature in both warm and cool. It depends on the base. Cool colors normally have a more icy tone to them or they have like a blue running underneath them. And so you can see that, especially with a like imagine a very, very cool tone pink. You can see that blueness that's sitting underneath it. Whereas with warm colors, you're going to have more yellow in them or more orange in them to bring that warmth coming through.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Now, a pink that has got some yellow mixed into it, it's not quite coral, it's still a pink, but it has more of a warmth to it. It's not icy, like the one that has the blue tone to it. So that's where, yes, I know a lot of people use that traditional colour wheel and that's where it can get really confusing that you think you've just got warm colours and cool colours. But red, for example, you can have like a raspberry red, which is cool toned. It's got more blue in it. If you think of a tomato, a tomato has more of an orange base to it. So it's that really beautiful, intense, vibrant, warm-toned red. There is only one colour that can't be warm and cool, and that colour is orange.
Starting point is 00:09:08 The reason for that is if you start mixing blue into orange to make a cool-toned, so that's how colours are made more cool-toned is putting blue into them. If you do that, you're going to end up with brown. Now, it might be a more cool-toned brown, depending on how much blue you put into it, but it's brown. It's no longer orange. So orange is the only color that stays on the warm side in spring and in autumn. That's where we talk about the different levels of hues. Now, value is the lightness or darkness of a colour.
Starting point is 00:09:41 So value can add depth and add, you know, if you're thinking of a dress or something, if you are changing the value and you want to add depth to it, you might add some black into it to make a real deep, dark, intense kind of colour. For example, a colour that has black added to it is known as a shade and has a darker value. So burgundy, which is all in the stores at the moment, it's a shade of red. A colour that has white added to it is known as a tint and has a lighter value. So, for example, pink is the reaction of mixing white with red to make a lighter value, which is therefore it's a tint. I know it can get really, really tricky
Starting point is 00:10:23 when we're thinking about those kinds of things. But the last one is the intensity. So a color that is highly saturated and clear and hasn't been mixed, they're the kinds of colors that you're going to find in the highly intense seasons of winter and spring. They have barely been mixed with anything. There's only a couple in there that will have been mixed. But otherwise, they are very, very intense, bold, bright, vibrant,
Starting point is 00:10:48 happy dual tone, you know, spring flowers, colors, they're what sits in those two seasons. When you look at summer and autumn, those two seasons have been mixed. So they're going to have some white in them to lighten them. They might have some grey in them to soften them down a little bit. There are a number of different things. They're much more softer in intensity than what winter and spring are. So how does this all work when it comes to having a colour analysis and what actually happens when you have a color analysis. So first things first, I go through, whether it's virtual or in person, and I go through, and I determine if you are warm or cool. Now, sometimes it can be when I'm testing, say for example, I'm doing six different rounds and someone might come up
Starting point is 00:11:34 four for warm tone and two for cool toned. That can be either that they're a little bit more neutral. It can be that those other colors are in their sister palettes and therefore that's why both of them looked okay. But that's what we generally do in order to find out. And then I go with the majority. If I'm really on the fence, I will either keep going or I will switch it up if they're really neutral and I will look at intensity of color and like the value of color. I will do it from that perspective. But I would say 99% of the time, I start with the fact if somebody is warm or cool toned. Then once I move on from that, it's all about finding what season they are. So just to recap, the warm seasons are spring and autumn. The cool seasons are winter and summer. So the next
Starting point is 00:12:20 test is to find out, can they tolerate really highly saturated colours like that are found in winter and spring? Or do they need a more softer, more muted kind of colour? In order to do this, how I test that is I take the colours of winter and I take colours of summer and I mix the majority of the palettes, and from there, I can see a reaction, whether that's in person or whether that's doing it virtually. I can see whether the color drains them and isn't too pale for them or whether the color dominates them. And so you see the color before you see the client. A really good test with that is if you hold color like a jumper or something behind you in front of a mirror and you're testing, say, between like a really intense cobalt blue or a really, really pale blue, like a baby blue.
Starting point is 00:13:12 If you hold it behind you, if you can see you before the colour, that's where you want to be, but you also want to make sure it's giving you vibrancy and not draining you. Imagine you're having your passport photo taken. If you can see you before you see the colour, that's really, really good. If you see the colour that's behind you before you see you, that colour's too strong and dominant for you. That's where I get to in terms of deciding what colour palette they are. And then once I have determined if they are, for example, they sit in winter, then I go through and I thoroughly test every single palette on my client,
Starting point is 00:13:50 whether in person or virtually, to determine which palette within that season suits them the best. majority of the time you're going to have one that stands out above the rest. There are, can be occasions where there is someone who looks amazing in all three palettes and therefore they would be classified as a true winter. That means that they can wear colours from all of the three palettes within winter. They can dip in and out as much as they like because they look amazing in all of them. I haven't had that often. I've had a few, but not that often.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I would say majority of the time somebody falls into a color palette. say, for example, a bright winter. And then behind that, they might have another one that's quite close. For example, it might be cool winter. They might find that they dip into deep winter a little bit, but sometimes being bright, they can be a little bit deep and a little bit intense for them. That's how it works when I am going through and I am figuring out exactly what kind of colors suits my clients. But then I test it. I don't just stop there. I test it to see whether the sister palettes within color analysis. A sister palette is, just realized I need to explain that. If we go back a step, I'm going to use me as an example. I am a light summer and I'm going to go
Starting point is 00:15:10 into all of the seasons in a second. My sister palette is light spring because I need to have lightness as my primary characteristic when it comes to color. Therefore, I have a cool toned palette as my primary palette, but I actually switch into a warm toned palette for my sister palette, my main sister palette. When I look at my sister palette of light spring, because it is warm toned, there are going to be some colors in there that suit me really, really well, and I can get away with, for example, I can wear corals and I can wear blues, things like that from light spring. I don't borrow oranges and I don't borrow yellows and greens because they are too warm for me. So that's where you can use your sister palettes and that gives you such a variety of color that you can use.
Starting point is 00:15:58 But it's a little bit about knowing and you do learn this over time. It's not something that you're going to know straight away, but you learn it over time as to how the color works on you. And it becomes second nature. You start to put something on and go, oh, that's not right. And you know it pretty quickly. When I'm talking about sister colors and when I'm doing an analysis, I test that palette because there will be colors in there that my clients can wear. If they can't wear that colour, then it's the wrong palette. That's where I look at sister palettes and then I test it again, literally going to the opposite of what theirs is. So for example,
Starting point is 00:16:34 for a light summer, that would be a deep autumn. It happens to be my daughter's palette. And I will test those colours and I know for a fact that deep autumn is the complete opposite of what I should be wearing, even though I love some of the colours in there. So I test thoroughly when I go through. It is really quite a process and I think by taking you through that you can understand a little bit more as to how much goes into figuring out somebody's colour palette compared to a filter that you try on TikTok. Now let's go through the individual seasons and talk about them a little bit. So let's start with the intense seasons of winter and spring. So in winter, like I just mentioned before, you have bright winter, which is your brightest, boldest. It's like a cool to neutral color palette.
Starting point is 00:17:21 very bright, very bold, lots of dual tones, really beautiful palette. Then you have cool winter and that's, as you can imagine, the coolest out of the three palettes within winter. It has a lot more blue mixed into it and therefore somebody who, even they might be cool toned, they might be better off being in deep winter or bright winter purely because going too cool washes them out. So that's where these subtle differences in shades and I mean so, subtle make all the difference in the world. So I have, there's a pink that I love. It's too cool tone. It's like that musk coloured pink and every time I put it on. And I have a client who's a light summer as well and both her and I are the same. It's just too cool toned on us. It does nothing. Even though I love it, I can't wear it. So it's these subtle, subtle differences that make such an impact and a difference to what you're wearing. And I can promise you it would save you money and time by knowing exactly what colors you should be wearing. So moving on, cool winter is literally the coolest out of all of the winter palettes.
Starting point is 00:18:30 It's got a lot more blue mixed into it. Then you have deep winter that has a lot more black or grey mixed into it to make it really deeper, darker, more intense. Now, not all of the colours are dark, but they definitely have a depth to them. And they're really, really lovely on the right person. The deep winter colours look absolutely beautiful. Now, moving into spring, the other highly intense one, you have bright spring. So bright spring is warm toned, really bright, really bold, very happy colors, really, really lovely, very bright. Same as like
Starting point is 00:19:03 bright winter. Needing brightness is the characteristic that leads with that. So they're both bright and then one goes cool and then one goes warm. That's how it works. Then you have light spring, which has had had some white mixed into it, not a huge amount. But these, whilst they're pastel kind of colours, you would have maybe heard me talk about it before. Light spring is punchy pastels. Like they have an intensity behind them. So you're not soft and muted when you're wearing a light spring. They definitely have an intensity of colour behind them, even though they are lighter than the other spring pallets. Then you have warm spring. Now, warm spring has a lot of orange and yellow mixed into the colours. So if you think of a green, like that real long,
Starting point is 00:19:46 lime green that's had an olivey kind of green that's had so much yellow mixed into it. It's actually quite a difficult colour to wear. But on the right person, that colour just looks absolutely amazing. You put that warm, toned, you know, olivey, limy kind of green onto a cool winter. It's going to look terrible. It will make them turn green. And I have seen it happen. It will literally make them turn green. So that's where those kind of really warm colours sit. The sister palette of that is warm autumn because again, warm autumn is the warmest out of all of the palettes within the autumn season. Again, really beautiful colours, but they are softer in terms of they're not so bright as the warm spring, but they still have a really lovely richness to them. They're not muted,
Starting point is 00:20:35 so they're not like the next palette I'm going to talk about, but they still have a really lovely colour to them. They're just not as bright and intense as what you would find in the spring palette. Then you have soft autumn. So soft autumn is exactly what you would expect it to be. It's soft and delicate and muted and it's had a lot of grey mixed into it. So when you're thinking of soft autumn, you're thinking of really soft car keys, a really soft rose kind of pink. You can get some really beautiful purples in there too and like a really soft burnt orange in there. So there are so many different colours. Even you get quite a few blues too in soft autumn. So really lovely, but a lot more muted, a lot more delicate. And on the right person,
Starting point is 00:21:21 again, they look fantastic because they let the person shine. You put soft into like the brights and you lose them. They just disappear to the colour because the colour just completely overwhelms and dominates them. Then you have deep autumn. Deep autumn is lovely. Again, it has had black mixed into the colours to make them deeper and richer, but it's really earthy toned. You've got some really beautiful, like Oberjean kind of purples. You've got a really lovely like chocolate colour. You have that deep forest kind of green. There are so many colours within that colour palette that are just beautiful. You even have like a really deep kind of pink in there, which is warm toned. It doesn't have a blue undertone to it. It has, you can see that it's had some orange mixed into it to make it that warmer kind of colour
Starting point is 00:22:07 so that it won't wash out the person who's wearing it. From there, last but not least, we move into summer. Now summer you have again the three seasons and we'll start with soft summer which is the sister palette to soft autumn because they both have softness as their very first characteristic. Now soft summer how it differs to soft autumn is because it is cool toned. So it doesn't have any warmth to it and this is where you might get sort of like a very soft highlightery yellow. You're going to get that really soft kind of musk pink in there. You're going to get some really lovely purples in there, but they're not like a lavender. Imagine you've got a purple, like a lavender purple. So it's quite light and then you mix some grey in it and it becomes quite moody.
Starting point is 00:22:54 The colours in soft summer can actually be quite moody. They're really, really lovely. You can get some like torp colours in there and grey's in there. Really beautiful colours. Then you have light summer, which I've mentioned before, has white mixed into it. So it is quite pastily. You've got your pale pinks and you've got blues and the purples. and the greens, and you do have like a soft, like lemon kind of yellow in there.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And then you have cool summer, which is the sister palette to cool winter, because their characteristic that they lead with is needing coolness. They can't have any hint of warmth whatsoever. And they are the punchiest out of all of the summers. They have the most intense colors out of all of the summers. And they have, again, lovely blues, pinks, yellows, purples, greens, navies, that kind of thing in there. So that's an overview of the 12 seasons. I hope you're still with me after all of that because I know that it's been quite technical
Starting point is 00:23:50 and I understand that. But it really does make such a difference. The other thing when it comes to colour analysis is talking about levels of contrast that you and your features can take and tolerate. So when you understand your level of contrast when it comes to things like patterns in particular, it's then really important when it comes to choosing clothing that suits you. So the three levels of contrast are low contrast, which is where you suit softer contrast and color and look amazing in more pastel or soft and more muted tones, like in your soft summer, soft autumn,
Starting point is 00:24:23 light spring, light summer. Generally, when this is the case, if you're low contrast, your own features, so your skin, hair and eyes all have a same level of depth to them and there's not a huge amount of contrast. If you are medium contrast, that's where you have a bit more of a moderate contrast in your features, too intense and it will overpower you, but too pale and it will wash you out and not do anything for you. So it's getting a perfect balance between light and dark to complement you and your own features. And last but not least, you have high contrast and majority will be found in spring and winter, as you would expect, because those colours are bold, bright, intense and know people that can wear those colors, your features can be really quite striking
Starting point is 00:25:07 and that can make bold and vivid colors your best friend. But don't be mistaken, there's some myths out there, into thinking that if you're blonde, you can only be low contrast, and if you're brunette, you can only be high. It's how all of your features work together. For example, I have a client who's a deep winter, and whilst black looks great on her, she can't actually wear a black and white stripe. It's too overpowering and it takes away her features. Her sweet spot is a navy base with white stripes. Now, in comparison, I'm a light summer and for me, I have to have the opposite as my level of contrast is low. I need a background of white as the dominant color with a thin navy stripe as the accent color so that it doesn't dominate me. I need
Starting point is 00:25:53 the lighter color to be the majority of the color that I'm wearing when it comes to things like stripes. Now also when it comes to hair colour, there are myths out there that blondes cannot be a winter and that all brunettes live in autumn and that couldn't be further from the truth either. I have people with different hair colours in every single colour palette. So please don't go thinking that the colour of your hair alone determines which palette that you are in. And I know for redheads in particular, a lot of people will say that you are in autumn. You can actually be in spring. A lot of redheads, natural redheads do tend to be warm toned. However, there are outliers like Nicole Kidman, who's actually cool tones and she's a natural red head.
Starting point is 00:26:36 She sits in winter. So that's a whole other thing. But don't just go based on your eye color and your hair color. But if you have really striking features, like you've got really dark hair, but you've got really blue eyes, that's a contrast between that. And then if you've got really pale skin, that's where that contrast really starts to come in and then you're able to tolerate more contrast. For me, for example, I have blonde hair, I've got green eyes, but they're a lovely green. I do like them. But they're not like intense. So it all harmonises together on me and that's what makes me more low contrast. So I hope this hasn't been too overwhelming. As I mentioned, you know, at the beginning, colour theory and colour analysis is quite in depth and there is a lot to
Starting point is 00:27:19 determine, but when you know those colors, it is a game changer. Like, they literally can light you up from the inside out. So when we talk about how it actually can help you, I'm just going to give you a few examples of how knowing what your colors are can actually help you in your day-to-day lives. Personal style. Understanding your colors helps you build a wardrobe that complements obviously your natural features and your overall appearance and it gives you confidence and wearing colors that, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:47 align with your undertone eye color, hair color. They highlight your best features without you having to do the work, without having to put lots of makeup on to counter out the fact that you're wearing a color that actually drains you. It saves you time and money. I can't tell you how often I hear from clients who used to shop all the time. And it's not that they have stopped shopping because they don't like it. They're just so much more invested in what they're getting to create a highly curated wardrobe that actually works for them rather than buying things that they think might work for them and then they sit at the back of the wardrobe and they never get worn. So by identifying your personal colour palette, you know, you streamline the decision-making process when shopping for clothes.
Starting point is 00:28:27 And it saves you time, but it also prevents any impulse purchases that might not harmonise with you or your existing wardrobe. And it is such a confidence boost. I can't tell you how many times I've had clients leave here saying that they feel like they're going to be a whole new person with their colour palette. I've had people message me saying, oh my gosh, I got compliments and what I was wearing to today for the first time in ages. I've had other people say it is absolutely liberating having had my colours done and knowing them. And don't think this is just sort of women, I don't know, in their 30s and 40s. I've had clients as young as 11 and I've had clients to 78.
Starting point is 00:29:08 And I just love that. I love both sides of the spectrum. I love that there's teenagers learning what colors they should be wearing so that when they go shopping, they know what they're looking for. And, you know, that can be really hard, especially as a teenager. But if you know what you're looking for, it makes all of the difference. Right the way through to someone who's 78 and is like, you know what? I don't quite know what my colors are. I used to wear this when I was younger. But I really like to know now so that I'm shopping for the right things, which I think is just fantastic. So there's so many reasons why to
Starting point is 00:29:40 have a color analysis. But the main thing is it gets, it makes life so much easier to get. ready in the morning. And if you have a household like me, like literally this morning, it's the first day of term two, I had, my daughter wasn't in my room, but I had both of my sons in my room. And I, you know, I'd close the door to get dressed. And luckily, I had got dressed before. First one knocked and sort of just opened the door and came in. And then the next thing I know, they're both in the bathroom with me while I'm trying to do my makeup and I'm like, do you want to brush your teeth or ask me this question a bit later? And they're like, no, no, no. And so I went to my wardrobe and I had an idea that I wanted to wear a shirt with a denim skirt today and it's so easy
Starting point is 00:30:21 to put the outfit together. It took me minutes. I chose a off white skirt and I have a blue and white shirt on. I chose some tan ballet flats. I put on a matching belt and then I put on some pearl earrings and I was done and that was it and it was done within minutes and the beauty of knowing your color palette is all the colors within your wardrobe go together. So putting together an outfit becomes so much easier because they don't clash, they just work. And you can actually then start to get quite adventurous with the colour combinations that you put together, which actually that's something that's coming up in my membership this month for May is we are doing a masterclass on colour combinations within your colour palette. So for those you want to be a little bit more adventurous and then
Starting point is 00:31:04 obviously the more safe ones of what you can do and how you can wear your colours together. So that's in the membership. Now, I do have something really exciting coming up for me. Mother's Day to do with color analysis and the color collective membership. So stay tuned for that one.

Starting point is 00:31:38 But it is a fantastic opportunity for you to get a seasonal color analysis, but also get some amazing support within the membership, which is me and all of the amazing women within this community holding your hand and guiding you through your colour journey.
