Wearing colors which harmonize with your skin tone makes you look healthier, slimmer, minimizes imperfections and enhances your eye and hair color. The result is that you feel more confident which in turn allows you to shine in public!
How Does Color Analysis Work?
The purpose of having a color analysis done is to identify your natural color tone. Once this is established, then you can ensure that all the other colors worn (including accessories, makeup and clothes) harmonise with this tone. This is important as harmonious colors intensify and strengthen each other and are naturally pleasing to the eye. The result is a more attractive, appealing image.
All color analysis is based on the Munsell Color System. Albert Munsell, an artist, identified colors as having three characteristics ? hue, value and chroma.
- Hue ? is the undertone of the color warm, cool or neutral?
- Value ?how light or dark is the color?
- Chroma ? how bright and vibrant are the colors?
