Is color analysis worth it OR is it a myth of social media stylists?

Many people wonder if Color Analysis is real or not. In this sense, the publications that we have seen on social networks where stylists test colors on their clients and darken the image a little when testing fabrics with colors that do not flatter them have done a lot of damage.

Although not all of them are edited and it is really the light bouncing off the fabric that changes the lighting of the image, although it does, it is necessary to reflect the color to see how it looks on the client's face.

It has also hurt the fact that many stylists use colored draping, fabrics to visually reveal the color of the season. This is not entirely correct, because each stylist has their own point of view, and if they do not rely on more numerical techniques, they end up giving you a Color Analysis result that has nothing to do with your characteristics. You can learn more about the theory of Seasonal Color Analysis here on Etsy.

For me, Color Analysis is not a myth, but people who say this do so because they allow themselves to be carried away by beliefs that have nothing to do with color analysis and do not give the opportunity to a new approach to the interpretation of seasonal color. analysis.

I recently saw a video on YouTube of a girl who said that she didn't use the colors from her seasonal palette because she didn't see that they suited her well. She seemed convinced. So convinced that I thought "there's something strange here." A girl with dull blonde hair, light skin and blue eyes who says that she is Light Spring and that this was the result of her analysis but these colors do not suit her.

She said that she preferred to wear colors like light or dark blues, because she liked cool colors more. I automatically realized, doing the analysis, that she is Light Summer and not Light Spring. In other words, the stylist's analysis of her was wrong and that the colors she liked to wear, like light blue, were really her colors and she also liked to wear navy blue, which is the recommended complementary season for Light Summer.

And this is one more example of a person who will stop trusting seasonal color analyzes because they have had a bad analysis. The bottom line is that when Color Analysis is done incorrectly, all results are distorted and the client trusts the stylist who has given them a random result.

This girl was told she was Light Spring, because there's a myth that slightly golden hair is warm, and it's actually cool because it's not warm enough. The same goes for the skin. She also wasn't a very bright person.

It is a shame that these types of results occur, but not many people have a more technical methodology in their analysis and that makes clients think that there is no point in doing a color analysis.

So, is color analysis worth it?

I will explain to you if Color Analysis is worth it, if you like doing color analysis, want to do your own color analysis or be a color stylist.

I am a very practical and skeptical person, I really like those techniques that really help you with something and the truth is when they don't I find it hard to believe in them.

The reason I started analyzing myself was because I always noticed that there was something wrong with the clothes I wore and they fit me well but they weren't what I expected because I had to put a little effort into the photographs to look good in them. I was right, and those colors were not mine because after doing my color analysis I saw how the photographs came out well in a more natural way without having to put in so much effort. Because my hair was dyed black, and my face was typical of the summer season, because of the freckles, and black is not a hair color for this season at all, although they are related in that they are both great.

Therefore, when you make a mistake you end up buying a lot of clothes that at first you think look good on you and then you get bored because you don't like them at all.

For me, Color Analysis is the solution to spending a lot of money on clothes that will end up going unnoticed, that will end up in the drawer, that we will donate or sell second-hand.

The problem is that this cycle of buying and not guessing the color can be infinite, and that is what Color Analysis tries to avoid, that you can really have a reference of colors that do fit you and save on clothes, get your colors right and therefore Of course, you will feel much better on a personal level because your face awakens even the brightness of your eyes, no matter how dark they are.
