Colour analysis can be a life-changing tool—but only when you’re actually ready. If you’re looking for a quick fix, a validation of what you already think, or a rigid rulebook, you might walk away disappointed.
And that’s okay.
Colour analysis isn’t for everyone, especially not the "transactional" kind. Let’s talk about when it might not be the right fit for your personal style journey just yet.
YOU MIGHT WANT tO WAIT IF...
1. You’re afraid of the "Season" label
If the idea of being a "Soft Autumn" makes you cringe before we even start, let's pause. Many people approach this for identity validation rather than self-discovery. At my studio in Sitges, Barcelona, I focus on the magic of surprise. If you're stuck on avoiding a certain season, you might miss the shades that actually make you glow.
Knowing your season is the beginning, not the finish line. It’s a framework, not a formula. If you aren't ready to experiment with your personal style, you'll miss the real value. A new lipstick is a quick win, but building a dream wardrobe takes a little trial and error.
So, What’s Next?
I’m not trying to talk you out of it, I love colour analysis! But I believe in a holistic approach. If you’re feeling a bit stuck, you might need Style Discovery instead of just a palette. This is where we slow down. We talk about your values, your fears, and your history with clothes. We find what feels right on you, not just what a theory says should work.
2. You think the work is "done" once you have your palette
3. You’re chasing "correctness" instead of clarity
Obsessing over whether you are a "True Summer" or a "Light Summer" can be a rabbit hole. Colour analysis is an art as much as a science. Your season isn’t a final answer, it’s a starting point. It’s better to understand the qualities of the colours that suit you than to catch smoke trying to find the "perfect" name for a shirt.
The best results happen when we collaborate. I want to know how certain colours make you feel. If you just want a passive result without sharing your style goals, the connection will be missing. This is why my colour analysis Sitges Barcelona sessions are always a conversation.
4. You want to be told what to do, not involved
Your palette is powerful, but it’s not magic. It won’t fix a disconnected wardrobe or a lack of confidence overnight. It’s a tool. You still have to do the work of editing what doesn’t align and choosing what does.
