I had an analysis done just before joining YLF, as the start of my style journey. I had seen my mother do it years ago. I have pretty good colour sense (I flatter myself) but I thought it might be fun anyway.
The woman who analysed me actually said I was one of her toughest clients ever! When I came in she wondered if I might be an autumn. And then she noted that I could wear a few of the spring colours well. By the end she had classified me as a cool summer, but one who looks much better in the more saturated colours from that palette rather than the paler pastels. I can wear some of the pastels (especially in summer when I am a bit tanned) but overall do better in richer tones, but not as saturated or bright as would suit a winter. Most of the dark blues (from ink to navy to denim), cranberry red, phlox, purple—these are my friends.
She gave me a sort of doctored summer wallet with deletions and then additions from other categories as needed. She was a bit surprised because I am very low contrast and she had thought I might look better in more muted tones. But the difference was obvious to both of us. She said it also might change as I go grey. But in her view, what looks good is not just a function of skin undertones and eye colour but also personality.
Mostly it confirmed what I already knew, but she also reminded me that I can wear plum shades, which I like, but somehow never really thought of buying. So overall I'm pleased I went.
Oddly, my taste for home decor veers towards the warm colours. We have antique pine furniture, and our hallway walls are a mustard yellow; so is my office chair. (actually, my whole office is sort of like the mustard Halogen pencil skirt!) We have a red living room! Our bedroom is a bluey-green...not a neutral in the house!
This may be partly a function of where we live—an old house just seems to look better with a warm, mellow palette, and also, it's cold so much of the year that it is nice to come into a warm environment.
