Learn How to Do Your Own Color Analysis
Stop guessing which colors look best on you. Learn a step-by-step method for analyzing your own coloring so you can understand your depth, undertone, chroma and complete color direction.
Instead of relying on a quiz or trying to fit yourself into a seasonal label, learn what to look for, compare colors using digital tools, and work through your own color analysis one decision at a time.
What if you could learn to see your coloring for yourself?
Maybe you've taken color quizzes. Maybe you've compared yourself to photos online. Maybe you know you're warm, cool or olive—but you're still not sure what that means for your complete color direction.
Color analysis isn't one single decision. Your best colors are influenced by several characteristics working together. This course teaches you how to evaluate those characteristics in a logical order so you can understand why certain colors work and determine your own result with greater confidence.
Go beyond a season or a single undertone.
Your Color Style looks at the characteristics that shape your overall color direction.
Depth
Learn whether your overall coloring reads Light, Medium or Deep.
Undertone
Explore Warm, Cool and Olive undertones using visual evidence.
Chroma
Learn how Clear or Soft intensity interacts with your natural coloring.
Your Direction
Bring your characteristics together to understand your most defining color traits.
Use yourself as your first color analysis.
You won't just read about color theory. Work through the process using your own photo and practice evaluating the same characteristics taught in the Your Color Style methodology.
Your first four weeks include access to the YCS Professional Color Analysis Toolkit, giving you digital tools to compare colors and test what you're learning.
