Do you struggle to find your best colours?

Do you struggle figuring out your best colours and how to wear them?
I received this question from Hannah - "the thing I struggle with is that I have neutral cool olive skin with some depth, some softness and some brightness and lightness which makes it really confusing as I feel like I can almost pull off any colour season. I find that bright colours make me look healthy but kind of overwhelm me, but other colours can look a bit dull on me, I seem to suit cool and bright colours yet my hair goes warm in the sun and I tan easily but extremely warm colours clash with my colouring. True summer looks good on me but still it can look a bit plain like I'm missing something. There's also so many sub seasons and different colour systems that it gets really confusing"
Colour analysis ideally takes the three properties of colour: Intensity/Saturation (how bright or muted a colour is), Value (how light or dark a colour is) and Undertone (how warm or cool a colour is) into consideration.
These are all spectrums - and most of the seasonal systems don't have enough variation in intensity or undertone (as in not all warm colours are really warm and not all cool colours are really cool - some are more in between - aka - just a little warm or just a little cool). This is why it can be confusing to find your palette and why a professional colour analysis using a more advanced colour system is so valuable.
The quality of your analysis is only as good as the system that is being used and the consultant's training. Sadly there are many poorly trained colour consultants giving poor colour analysis advice.
Plus you need to know more than just which is your best palette - you also need to know your ideal value, your value and colour contrasts - because these are the things that help you put your outfits together using your colours - which is why you may have garments in your colour palette that don't look as great as you think they should. They may be in the wrong value or colour contrast for you, or not your ideal value.
Inside my 7 Steps to Style program I go into depth all these aspects of wearing your colours so that you can make the best choices. insideoutstyle...
Getting an education in colour and style makes your approach to fashion sustainable, as you're no longer wasting money on all the wrong clothes. Instead you're making discerning and conscious choices that are good for you and our planet.
