colour analysis services for you

As a design graduate of Manchester University and Central St Martins, with twenty years of experience across varied design fields, I offer colour analysis in a welcoming space in Twickenham, west London, where you can feel at ease.

I passed the London College of Style’s advanced diploma in colour analysis with distinction. I studied the 16 sub-season system with the renowned Style and Colour Academy and use their high-quality Kettlewell drapes.

hours - my hours are flexible across the week and weekend so we can find you a time that works. Please bear in mind that colour analysis is done in daylight, which means 9am to 4pm by midwinter. However, I am available from 8am to 9pm across midsummer.

location - I offer analysis at my relaxed studio space in Twickenham, with plenty of clear daylight. There is street parking outside, a 4min walk to local buses, and a short bus ride or 20min walk to Twickenham station. Richmond and Kingston stations are also easy to reach by bus.

group discount - you are welcome to bring a friend or two to see your colour results unfold. If you book an appointment together, this can be even more fun - you will each be draped separately, but can watch each other’s analysis unfold. Booking 2-4 people to be analysed together attracts a 10% discount.

If you are ready to book, or have more questions, please do get in touch!

16 sub-season analysis

“What an incredibly useful but totally fun way to spend a morning in a relaxed, calm environment.

I now know what to look for when selecting new items for my wardrobe that really work best for me, complement and enhance my skin tone and ultimately put a smile on my face. Louise is incredibly insightful while asking the right questions to help you recognise for yourself what works well for you.”

- Mel

assessment of shades within your home season to identify your “star” colours
identification of which of four sub-seasons within your home season is most harmonious
detailed review of accessory metal options and finishes
optional assessment of make-up and hair colours
includes pocket-size fan of printed swatches to take away, with your star colours and sub-season identified
duration - 1.5hrs-2hrs
fee - £190

If I have previously analysed your home season, this is reduced to £140 and should take 1.5hrs.

colour refresh

As we grow older, our hair colour and skin tone gently change. Sometimes these changes can happen as a side effect of vital medication. While it is highly unlikely your home season will change, your sub-season may quietly shift, creating new star colours.

You may be wondering whether brighter or deeper colours are now creating that glow, or whether softer or lighter colours seem more harmonious. If it is 5-10 years since your colour analysis, or other life changes mean you’ve started to wonder if your star colours are still working their magic, a re-rate may revitalise your colour confidence.

This service starts with confirming your home season, then extends the analysis for a detailed result, leaving you with renewed confidence in your colour choices.

identification of which of four sub-seasons within your home season is most harmonious

duration - 1.5hrs-2hrs

colour capsules service

This is a bespoke service, tailored to your specific needs.

Utilising your star colours, supported by your sub-season and drawing on other colours where needed, we will work together to create bespoke colour capsules. These are tight palettes of typically 5-12 colours - depending on your needs - which combine easily with each other for specific uses in your wardrobe, such as:

days in the office
summer holiday packing
festive party season
colours that reflect different times of the year

The aim is to reduce anxious decision-making and overthinking in the moment, so you have more bandwidth for the rest of your day.

Having a capsule that works together avoids hitting the end of the week and feeling you are left with outfit options that aren’t how you want to present yourself - and, worse, feeling bad that you haven’t done the laundry. We don’t need that self-judgement.

When we feel like we have nothing to wear despite a full wardrobe, randomly buying more clothes is not a long-term strategy, and we don’t need that guilt either. A tightly mixable palette avoids the feeling of being stuck in the rut of a few specific outfits that you know work but feel bored wearing, because you have more options via endless combinations. Impulse buys that fit into your palette come with repeat dopamine - you are more likely to delight in wearing them, not just find joy in that initial hit.

Choosing items that belong in a clear, cohesive palette creates a wardrobe that evolves as items wear out, rather than being a regular source of stress.

Please note that the 16 sub-season or refresh service is a
pre-requisite. This is because we will build cohesive palettes around your best colours, with supporting options and neutrals. If you wish to book 16-sub season analysis or refresh followed by colour capsules at the same time, this is an option we can discuss.
