Your Color Analysis Business. One Professional Toolkit.
Analyze client photos, compare virtual color drapes, create personalized palettes and reports, and deliver a polished client experience—all from one professional workspace.
Whether you're building a color analysis business or adding color services to your existing practice, get professional software and step-by-step videos showing you how to use it—without a complicated training commitment.
Professional software • Tool tutorial videos • Optional analyst directory listing • Client palette credits purchased separately
Spend more time analyzing color. Less time piecing everything together.
Professional color analysis involves more than choosing a palette. You need to prepare photos, make comparisons, keep track of your findings, and turn your work into a useful client experience.
The YCS Professional Color Analysis Toolkit brings those tasks into one connected workflow. Work with the Your Color Style methodology or adapt the software to your own approach.
Already know how to analyze color? You can subscribe directly. No certification or live class enrollment is required.

Prepare & Analyze
Upload a client photo, make adjustments, and compare virtual drapes side by side to study their coloring.
Choose Their Colors
Work with the YCS palette library or create and save a custom palette using your preferred color analysis system.
Build Their Report
Bring your findings and recommendations together in a personalized professional color analysis report.
Deliver Their Palette
When you want to include an interactive digital palette, use a purchased palette credit to create a unique link for your client.
See the differences side by side.
Compare how colors interact with your client's natural coloring instead of relying on memory between drapes.
Explore undertone, depth, chroma, contrast, and overall harmony using digital comparisons, while keeping your analysis connected to the client's record.
It's a practical workspace for the analyst—not an automated replacement for your professional judgment.
Your methodology. Your professional workflow.
You don't have to be YCS-trained or certified to benefit from the toolkit.
Use the Your Color Style Palettes
Access the established YCS palette library to support your analysis and recommendations.
Create Your Own Palettes
Build and save custom palettes based on your own color system, professional approach, or individual client needs.
Give your analysis a professional finish.
Turn your color comparisons and recommendations into a personalized client report. Keep your analysis and presentation connected instead of assembling everything across multiple unrelated programs.
- Create a report for each client
- Organize findings and color recommendations
- Connect the final palette to your analysis
- Save and revisit your client work
A client experience worth sharing.
Help your clients understand their colors and leave their consultation with a useful, organized reference—not simply a color type or a static swatch image.
Give clients their own interactive color palette.
When you want to include a digital palette with a consultation, purchase palette credits inside the professional platform. Select the client's palette and generate a unique link they can use to access it.
The digital palette becomes a convenient reference for shopping, wardrobe planning, and everyday color decisions.
Palette credits are purchased separately from the $49/month subscription. This lets you purchase what you need for individual appointments or larger group consultations.
Purchase credits as you need them.
Assign a palette, create a unique client link, and share it directly. No included palette allowance to track or waste.
Client palette credits are optional purchases. The consumer Digital Color Palette and its $10 Photo Draping Studio upgrade are separate products, not features of this professional toolkit.
Let more people discover your color analysis business.
Your toolkit subscription also includes the opportunity to be listed in the YCS Color Analyst Directory. Your Color Style no longer offers personal color analysis consultations. Instead, we direct visitors and inquiries seeking color analysis services to this directory of independent professionals. Businesses that include color analysis are welcome, even when they also offer styling, image consulting, or other services.
Share your business, location, virtual or in-person services, and a direct link to your own website or booking page. You manage your clients, services, pricing, and appointments.
Directory listings are optional and subject to profile submission and publication requirements. A listing does not imply YCS certification, endorsement, or guaranteed referrals.
