Colour Analysis Explained mini course author
Colour analysis has come a long way since I started back in 1980.
It took me around 5 years to ‘get’ seasonal colour analysis so I understand exactly how it feels to be unsure about what you’re doing when you sit a client or friend in front of the mirror and feel that you’re expected to perform like an expert!
This is exactly why I’m sharing with you my step-by-step method of colour analysis for each of the tonal and seasonal directions.
Beginners can learn from scratch; experienced image consultants can update their skills and learn new techniques, and personal stylists can add in-depth colour knowledge to their skill set.
How Colour Analysis Explained came to be
In January 2013, fifteen amazing ladies travelled through heavy snow from across the UK and Ireland, and one even flew all the way from Thailand, to attend my 3-day Colour Analysis Summit.
No business content. No marketing. Simply colour, colour, and nothing but colour.
We videoed the entire three days and Day 1 became this mini course: Colour Analysis Explained, teaching everything I know about colour from hundreds of years’ experience of running my own successful image business and also from teaching other consultants how to create their own.
This is your chance to learn seasonal and tonal colour for fun and personal interest, and how to apply it to real-life – for yourself, friends, family, and clients
Using a variety of analysis techniques, with and without drapes, you’ll be diagnosing seasonal and tonal colour in no time at all!
How colour can help you get what you want
What you wear tells other people how to treat you
Did you know that colour is the first thing we notice when we meet someone for the first time?
We make judgements about a person’s status and even their spending habits from the colours they’re wearing.
In mediaeval times, the lower classes weren’t allowed to wear the colours of the upper classes, or they were fined, sometimes up to half a year’s wages!
Serfs had to wear the colours of the earth – brown and green tones – that came from dyeing cloth with things that were immediately to hand and were cheap – grass, soil, and even dung!
The most expensive dyes created brand-new colours at the time, particularly purple and red. These colours were kept for royalty and the bigwigs in the church. Think of a portrait of Henry VIII (the one who had 6 wives) in a deep red coat festooned with rubies and purple and gold needlework, or a Pope or a Cardinal in his red robes.
And hundreds of years later, we are still using colour to make judgements about the status of another person.
What would you think if you saw a lawyer or a senior businessman wearing an orange suit in the workplace? I doubt if you’d give him much credence because orange is not an acceptable colour for anyone to wear in the worlds of finance and business – if they want to be taken seriously.
Why do you think the armed forces, the police, the safety services – all wear dark colours, like navy and black? Because these dark colours elicit a feeling of respect. Dark colours are business-like, to be taken seriously. Bright flippant colours like pink and orange do not create the same respectful response.
It doesn’t matter whether you think this is a good thing or not. You will never change the way 7.7 billion human beings on the planet have been conditioned to think over the last 2,021 years.
But you can use this to your advantage when you learn how to use your best colours to create a fabulous first impression, to gain instant respect and better treatment from others, how to look and feel fabulously confident, and also how to help your friends and family do the same – all with this fabulous, fun mini course, Colour Analysis Explained.

Testimonials
Colour Analysis Explained was filmed lin front of a live audience of image consultants, day one of a 3-day Colour Analysis Summit that we created to present all things colour analysis! Here’s what a few of our Colour Analysis Summit attendees have to say
Hi Kim, I thoroughly enjoyed the Colour Analysis Summit and look forward to keeping in touch with the other ‘girls’. We became a little family! I can’t believe there are so many people in the world that love colour as much as I do. Thank you for organising the Summit and I appreciate all the material you gave me. I am enthused and have already spoken to two clients about their hair. Thanks again for a great weekend and enjoy that G&T. Also thanks to Neil.

Lorna
Image ConsultantDear Kim, I had a ball at the weekend. Lapped it all up like a sponge and loved every minute. The whole subject is totally fascinating and I can’t wait to get started. My daughter is coming round tomorrow and I am going to have a go on her. Thank you for organising the whole thing and for making it such a brilliant weekend. Best wishes to you and Neil.

Image ConsultantKim, Yes, I did get home safely thank you, and had already booked today as holiday to get my head around all the information. Also, want to say how much I enjoyed the Colour Analysis Summit and big THANK YOU. I am sorry I had to dash off for my train, as I would have loved to have stayed a bit longer to have a longer chat more about what I mentioned (specialising in workshops for petite ladies).
