Is color analysis worth it? And does it not limit you?

“Will I only be allowed to wear a few colors?” “What if my favorite color is not among them?” These are questions we often hear from women who are curious about a color analysis, but also a little hesitant. Because isn’t such an analysis very strict? So, is color analysis worth it for you?

A color analysis is not the fashion police. On the contrary, it gives you peace of mind and clarity. Below you can read what a color analysis gives you, who it is worth it for, and when you might not need it.

Does a color analysis limit you? Not at all

The biggest misconception is that after an analysis you may only wear a handful of colors. In reality you get a whole palette. Our color fans, for example, contain 56 colors per seasonal type, from light to dark shades and from neutral to pronounced.

And the colors that are not in your palette? You can still wear them. You just know better how. Read how to wear your favorite color anyway.

Is color analysis worth it? This is what it gives you

Less doubt in front of your wardrobe

A wardrobe full of clothes and still nothing to wear? Often what is missing is coherence. When you choose clothes from one palette, the pieces automatically go together. Putting outfits together becomes a lot easier.

More conscious choices and fewer bad buys

With your palette you know in the shop already whether a color suits you. You buy less, but better. That saves money and is more sustainable too. You can read how that works out in euros in color analysis cost.

More coherence in your appearance

Some people always look effortlessly polished. Often that is because their clothes go together and suit them. Your skin looks fresh, your eyes speak more and your outfit feels like one whole.

More confidence

When you know a color suits you, you no longer have to doubt in front of the mirror. You see that in how you move and how you feel.

More possibilities

Many women discover colors after their analysis that they would never have chosen themselves, but that look beautiful on them. Your palette actually opens the door to new combinations.

Who is color analysis worth it for?

• You often hesitate in the fitting room whether a color suits you.
• You have lots of clothes, but keep wearing the same things.
• You want to make fewer bad buys and shop more consciously.
• After a change, such as a different hair color or a new stage of life, you want to take a fresh look at your wardrobe.
• You mainly wear black and neutrals and want more color, but do not know where to start. Also read how to wear more color.

Three questions to ask yourself

Unsure whether a color analysis is for you? Then honestly answer these three questions:

1. How often do I hesitate in the fitting room or in front of my wardrobe?
2. How many clothes are hanging there that I actually never wear?
3. Do I feel fresh and like myself in the colors I usually wear?

Do you recognize yourself in two or three of these questions? Then a color analysis will probably give you a lot.

Color analysis or styling advice?

A color analysis is about color: which shades match your skin, hair and eyes. Styling advice often looks more broadly, for example at your figure, your style and your wardrobe as a whole. They complement each other well. Many women start with color, because it has a directly visible effect on their face and helps with every purchase.

With us you get a bit of both. Besides your color palette, the Style Guide for your seasonal type also contains styling advice: which fabrics and prints suit you, how to combine your colors and which accessories and make-up enhance your appearance. That way you can get started with your colors right away.

When might you not need one?

To be fair: not everyone needs a color analysis. Are you happy with your wardrobe, do you feel good in what you wear and do you already know which colors suit you? Then an analysis is mainly a confirmation. If you already know your seasonal type from an earlier analysis, you can also order just the color fan for your type.

What it gives you in the long run

The best thing about a color analysis is that you enjoy it for years. Your seasonal type usually stays the same your whole life. From then on you choose every new purchase, every lipstick and every scarf with more certainty. That way your wardrobe becomes, step by step, a wardrobe full of clothes that go together and suit you.

What does such an analysis look like?

With us it happens entirely online. You fill in a short questionnaire, send a few photos and within 48 hours you receive your seasonal type and an extensive Style Guide. Curious about all the steps? Read how does color analysis work.
