A colour analysis session is a once-off experience to discover your colours for life.
A palette is a collection of colours that emphasise your natural chromatic characteristics, making you look radiant and healthy. Colour analysis identifies your personal palette by examining your natural characteristics (undertone, intensity and value).
A colour analysis session will make you discover something new about yourself and give you the knowledge to shop less and better and to improve your wardrobe and style.

Yes, please! Please make a video about neutrals for each pallette. That would be helpful. I love your videos.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Great idea🙂

[@alexc6095]

Yes. Neutrals for warm people please (gray, black and navy are everywhere)

[@hbarlaam]

[@Jeshiae]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I wanted to put what I think is an underrated tip out there--- dyeing your existing clothing instead of buying new things in palette. It is fairly easy as long as you start with liquid dye! I was finding myself wearing this ivory sweater I had less and less as I added to my sweater collection (I'm a winter), and I realized that instead of replacing it, I could just dye it to a deeper color. So I mixed this beautiful deep sage color dye and dyed it with no issue! You can even strip color and re-dye, if you're looking to go lighter and like the fit of your existing clothing. This also eliminates the step of trying to find colors that aren't in fashion.

[@bethl]

Brilliant suggestion!

[@mallorydunn124]

Definitely would love a video dedicated to neutral colors!!😊

[@Daisy_Anne]

There is a woman called "The style coach" on youtube that is another valuable resource for me when it comes to color. She's doing a series where she goes through every color and helps identify what is warm vs cool. Would love to be able to see soft vs deep etc. So yes, please do a neutrals video! Love your content ❤

[@eliali6484]

I can add a tip about colors in online shopping: if you wander whether the color is cool or warm in reality but not because the picture/your screen check the background - it must be neutral white or grey (the most used backgrounds for fashion pictures). If it's warm white background - the item is cooler color in reality, if it's somehow bluish - the item color is warmer than you see. The same with dusty colors - check the face/arms of the model. If the skin/eye/hair color is unnaturally bright - the item color is smoother than you see on your screen.

[@calliekulawik619]

Hi, YES!!! I would absolutely love to see a video on seasonal neutrals!! Love your channel. Always a bright spot in my day to see you have new content. Thank you so much!

[@jamiekillian6513]

Love the tip about spending more money on neutral colors. It totally makes sense that we should be willing to spend more money on things that we wear a lot and we can match with a lot of things, and not something we will wear once a year. Also love the tip about playing it safe with buying adventurous colors online. Fantastic video as always.

[@clairem2007]

I know y’all are busy but I would love it if y’all guys created a Pinterest page for all the seasons one day 😊

[@emelielindstroem]

I would love to see a video on neutrals! As a Soft Autumn I don't have any of the "classic" neutrals (i.e. black, white, grey) so it would be great to see more about the autumn neutrals and how to combine them

[@lavonnemacfarland7380]

I would love a video on neutrals!

[@paolabenas1830]

I am also autumn warm like Alessandra and I will never stop wearing black and blue denim.

[@MusingOnBeauty]

I don’t understand why nobody talks about Milanote, I’ve been using it for over a year, and used it to entirely replan my wardrobe after my color analysis. I also keep my makeup inventory in there with pictures. I would definitely love a video on neutrals for each palette :) I also tend to overdo it on the blue!

[@ceruleanswim]

A video on neutrals would be really interesting. Sometimes I find it challenging to distinguish warm and cool with subtle colors like beige and khaki.

[@gbosonnet]

Yes please. Would l9ve a video all about neutral colours for each season.

[@nissak1561]

Please do a video about neutrals. This would be very informative and well appreciated.

[@katem3961]

Me wearing navy blue hospital scrubs and being told so often that they suit me. Me wondering why?? 🤔 I'm a winter...🙄 Neutrals for each colour palette would be amazing. Thank you, ladies 💗

[@tess7510]

I would LOVE a video about neutrals. Please do it!

[@ajspanna1]

I’ve been trying to “break up” with blue denim for years. I’m a spring. It’s so hard but what you said is true. My outfits are elevated when my bottom half is also in palette and not default denim

[@Heyreneesews]

I sew my own clothes and just downloaded Milanote to try

[@tins369]

How I stop literally everything I do when I get a notification for a new video 😅

[@viviwilhelmsson307]

Yes! Same here! 😅

[@kristinagospodinova6739]

Same here! ❤

[@jennifercarter1265]

I would LOVE a video about neutrals, and especially things like how much of the wardrobe should be neutral and REALLY advice on shoes and purses. I've got a good handle on my colors (cool-leaning-bright winter) but not how to actually decide on neutral pieces. I used to maintain more black in my wardrobe but over the last few years I've drifted toward navy. I've also gotten rid of most of my insane shoe collection and I'm realizing that I was probably relying on the fact that I had over 100 pairs of shoes, so I never really figured out how to shop for shoes that were versatile. So I'm really trying to decide if I should 1) abandon black and commit to navy (which I'm hesitant to do), 2) go back to black and leave navy as an accent color (but navy is such a good color for me), or 3) commit to both navy and black (in which case, do I just need to also fully commit to purse and shoe wardrobes in each?) I'm just stunned at how my shoe shopping choices are limiting my outfits and how disconnected a black purse can look...

[@Jonaj05]

Thanks for your video today, very interesting. Could you do a video on how to tell in a shop whether the colour is blue or yellow based please. I find that tricky as an autumn.

[@bethl]

Same

[@AndreeaC.]

After i received my analysis i have discovered that handbags were missing from my wardrobe! I am an True Autumn so i had browns, camel bags and city bagpacks( i am an casual person ) so i've decided to buy a brick red one with gold chain and a tweed small one in an riped apricot colour !My shoes are generally brown, brick reds , camel, off white etc. Another missing portion in my wardrobe were blazers and casual/business shirt so i brought some brick reds, dark chocolate browns blazers and some olive, butter colour, apricot and sand coloured shirts to combine them ! I also brought some yellow and green sweatshirts / pullovers because i had many off white,creams, tomato red, oranges! My makeup was already in the warm area because I've realised for a long time that pink blushes, pink lipsticks don't look good on me, so my blushes are neutral, apricot, soft orange ones and as lipsticks i go with warm cappuccino, teracotta reds/ orange , warm coral ! My palettes are murky greens/khakis/ soft warm browns and mustard yellows and soft oranges ! My highlighters are soft champagne/ gold 😊. I have to mention that i thrift my clothes and i always find hidden gems with beautiful colours to not spend a lot of money! Now i've started to build up my sommer wardrobe so i've started with some teracotta, olive greens , orange , yellows and i still have plenty to add plus i brought some new dresses with beautiful prints that suits Autumns !

[@aubreywhewell6619]

The bottom of my wardrobe is my biggest challenge. I don't have anything other than blue jeans (I LOVE a good pair of blue jeans) and have a hard time picturing anything other than blue jeans. I'm on the shorter side of petite (5'0") so bottoms are a challenge anyway but when you add it the warm spring palette, it gets even more challenging.

[@MissJensk1]

I find bottoms soooooooo difficult. I don't wear jeans, but I always feel trousers in colours look strange on me, so end up defaulting to black. I'm really bored with black trousers!!!

[@Lojo7820]

I’d love a video on neutrals for each colour palette!

[@AdelaVetr]

Thank you as always. 🌼 I shop clothes rarely, but if so, online is best for me. Somehow i approach it much more rationaly. I dont get lost walking between racks, dont get overwhelmed with the options, tired trying and spending 3 hours just like that, not anymore. I simply look a the clothing online, see its materials description, if the shape will suit my bodytype, color pallete, style. Because sometimes a piece in the shop catches your eye, "uu thats nice, i could try that on, after all its the right color", then you have several of these in fitting room, debating if its good, but in reality, those pieces would become "never worn items". Shops are made to keep us little bit longer. With the music, sometime scent, nice arranged figurines. With online you strip of all the excess influences. Also, trying at home has a big advantage, you can see garments in natural light, compare shades of certain colors and what it does to your face, which is also great for "training your eye". What doesnt fill all the categories si sent back. Thats a strategy of somebody who didnt have the sence for clothing naturally.

[@aislingmcguane8470]

Would love video in neutral palette.

[@killersister596]

Oh yes, please! I'd love a video about the neutral colours. Would like to know mine (autumn) and use them more 🧡🤎💛

[@user-cd7ie8pn3s]

I think it is also important to find out your type by Dwyn Larson, and face and body dominant types to make good clothing choices. To know your scale, best lengths, cuts, prints, best sleeves, necklines, fabric types. For example, if you are romantic dramatic with mixed face dominant, avoid oversize hoodies, even if they are in your pallette.

[@rebeccagoy4474]

A neutral colour video would be so awesome. Thanks for all the great content.

[@Snugos]

I would love a neutrals video please! I find a lot of colours don't look great paired with black. As a result I usually only pair it with more black or white.

[@angieneal7362]

Monochromatic wardrobe. Ha! I have the opposite problem! I love every color and my closet is a rainbow!

[@AndreeaC.]

Oh i understand you very well but now is mostly with my palette accordingly 😊, is still have some past "mistakes" 😄

[@BeaunaturelleFeb11]

Fantastic tips ladies. Thank you. And yes please to a neutrals vid. I loved that line "an item needs to DESERVE to be in (my) wardrobe' 👍 Great stuff. 😊

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

As a cool Winter w blue gray eyes and light brown hair, deep shades of blue and turquoise are my absolute best.

[@biggerfoot9217]

Would love a video about neutrals! As a summer I'm struggling to figure out what my dark, formal neutrals are

[@edelbutler8027]

I rely on black constantly but I'm pretty sure I am not a winter - would love a video on neutrals. This one was great!

[@kerrycraven6036]

Please do a video on neutral colours 😊

[@jessicachen3966]

I would love a video dedicated to talking about how to select patterns and also the impact of texture on intensity.

[@lovefilles]

What I am so mad about is that I absolutely love white and black and as an autumn deep, it seems to be far fro my palette.

[@MM-pe9ik]

I had online analysis done by this gorgeous duo and I'm so happy with the results and the report. Highly recommend it ❤

[@G_limaf]

I'm never too adventurous shopping online, but bought a icy pink jumper and received a peach one 😐 I returned and bought a bright pink, because it was safer 😂

[@viviwilhelmsson307]

Great to see you ladies, and thanks for the encouraging tips! I'm watching your videos again, and just when I think I've understood a little more of how the analysis fits together, I wonder something new. Very exciting! Looking forward to seeing you again!

[@alsg0403]

Please make a video about how to style existing colors that are not in your palette but happen to like/love. Not sure if there is already such a video. Previously typed myself as a Dark Autumn, only to realise I have cool undertone and I look better in the low-medium value of the Dark Winter (basically, I'm between a True Winter and a Dark Winter but look better in Dark Winter). So I have a lot of existing color pieces that I don't want to go to waste. Pure white usually looks overpowering on me. But I find that if majority of my outfit is black/ a darker color and it's paired with pure white, it helps to tone down the white against my skin tone.

[@AmalieKandel]

I would love to know more about the different types of denim for each subcategory from you guys 🙌 Best from Denmark

[@leyley-vj4ym]

You are so in time with this video. I have a shopping phase and i need to stop a little bit. I also struggle with jeans because the most are cool, so I try to find some that are not obviously cool and more neutral.

[@mastandstars5869]

1000% want to see a neutrals video from you! 💗💗💗

[@beeu6364]

If I’m a true autumn, what is my main characteristic then? Warm, muted AND deep? 🤔😅

[@OlgaRykov]

Of course we want a video about neutral colors!!!😊

[@schnien_]

feel the blue-jeans part! I always end up hating my jeans because I try different colours and non of them suits me or my wardrobe. Would love a video on jean alternatives for each season! 😍

[@lenavoyles526]

If you’re an Autumn navy blue is in your palette, so very dark wash jeans are very close to that.

[@shoshanafox727]

8:40 I did that lol. I found out I was a dark winter and bought 3 mustard colored shirts in one month. 😏😄

[@susannemagnusson9288]

Love your videos 🥰 we want see videos for neutral colour. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪😍

[@wendybrookes1878]

Loved this one. Can’t wait to see the neutrals video.

[@RobinMooreBand]

I have actually taken pictures of my wardrobe hanging in the closet as a reference.

[@neggyforever]

Love your videos! I've always been a bit confused about color seasons, especially when talking about makeup... I've always considered myself "neutral cool" but your videos and explanations have been very useful to understand overtone. Could you do a video about neutrals appropriate for each season? Neutrals sound like beige to me but as a winter, I look dead in beige... Thank you for your help!!

[@AndreeaC.]

If i was a winter as white/black/grey and navy are my neutrals,for makeup i would go with gray toned mattes ,cool toned browns silver shimmers / silver based shimmers in general! For a bold look i would dip in pink tones / red ones/ true blue so i believe there is enough on the beauty market for everyone! Colourpop/ Natasha Denona has a lot of cool toned palettes so there is a good start! ❤

[@neggyforever]

@@AndreeaC. Thank you!

[@sydneychapin3994]

Before learning more about personal color, all I knew was that olive green was great for me, and it's pretty easy to find in stores. Now I have too many olive tops😅 I feel you Guilia, need to train myself to resist the pull

[@nellivilhelmiina]

Thanks guys for providing us this content. And YES to the neutrals video 🤝☺️

[@no_i_dont_want_no_slugs]

i wish i didn't live in canada so i could go have an in-person consultation D: you two seem so nice and you clearly know your stuff, so it'd be fun to have a consultation in-person. but c'est la vie. (and of course, i can always do an online one, i just feel like an in-person one would be an even better experience)

[@lightheartsbyjellyfern9911]

Yes please!... would love a video dedicated to neutral colors😊

[@Margriet811]

Great tips, thank you! I’d love to see a video on neutral colours 👍🏻❤️

[@DonnaJewell-en3ow]

Yess please. I would get a lot out of a video about neutrals.

[@lifeschool707]

Yes please a video on neutral colors. Thank you

[@KathBorup]

Also colours in photos online can be very inaccurate. For example I bought what I thought was fuchsia turtleneck but it was actually a cool red. I've also noticed that some colours are harder to photograph accurately.

[@ready4reiki]

I fell into that after my analysis. I bought things in my color when the shape wasn’t right. I’m over that! But I will say that at first I was amazed how much the right color made a difference, even with the wrong shape! Now these cloths will be my painting/gardening cloths….live and learn. Thanks for the great tips!

[@AlexLouiseWest]

I can relate to that. I find colour easy and shape hard.

[@olgamorozova515]

Video on neutrals please! With examples for each season! I am very confused when it comes to neutrals for winter (except black and white).

[@maybee3960]

I belive I’m a winter, as blue is my safe zone, same as white. But I also love yellow, clean lemony or bright yellow 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@carole5648]

Would love a video about neutrals but also jean colors for each season.

[@prawncrisp5951]

Great suggestion!!

[@itzbeeianca]

YES for the video for neutrals! I just got typed as a deep winter from you ladies and I love my palette for it's jewel tones, but am feeling lost when it comes to my neutrals because I never used to purchase black, grey or white 😬 Looking forward to the video!

[@joycerichardson1810]

Very good advice!! Love this channel!

[@magdakania643]

Yes, i d like a video on neutrals!

[@alissalima8626]

wow i loved milanote! and all the tips, i think im also winter cool

[@chelseaa4728]

Great video! Yes, would love to see a video about neutrals 👍🏻

[@ulrikeschroeder]

A very useful video. I think I am a soft summer. I am definitely cool. All dusty colours look good on me. Grey looks good on me. I look absolutely horrible in orange. I think I typed me correct. I got rid of all warm colours except 2 or 3 parts in the sister season, which look okay. Very few black basics remained (a pair of jeans, a blouse, 3 shirts, a blazer, a jacket and a warm winter jacket), because I love them too much. I combine them with pieces in my colour palette. Thank you for your great work. ❤❤❤

[@mammadijacopo3347]

Always brilliant advice!

[@quietangel1574]

I love so much Gulia and Alessandra❤️❤️ Please make that video about neutrals 🙏 I'm so excited about it 🤩

[@desislavagospodinova3749]

I love these girls ❤❤

[@nicolemoreland6257]

Well I'd love to watch and learn from any video you ladies would like to share. But yes! A neutrals video would be so interesting. I find I'm confused by some greys and whether they are a warm or cool grey. Much love and excited to have you back making content after the new year break. ❤

[@pinkroses135]

The thing that trips me up is the pink range. Which ones are "neutral" etc

[@kasiamichalec2305]

I love your videos, you are very knowledgeable and friendly. I would really appreciate a video on neutrals. I am finding it is my most challenging shopping experience to find neutrals that are not too dark but that they will not wash me out. I am a soft summer.

[@cherivillines7271]

Would love to see a video on neutrals in each palette!

[@-o-o-o-1]

Please, please, please do a neutral's for the different palettes video! I'm not sure why the under tone of neutrals are the most difficult for me to discern...it seems like it should be obvious e.g. brown is warm, but many times I have come across a brown piece, brought it home and discovered it is a cool brown. Any tips would be much appreciated!!!

[@Heyreneesews]

Nice graphics package.

[@asiars6348]

Neutral colors, please :)

[@Jonaj05]

Particularly reds and greens

[@Katieshirleen1649]

Can you talk about finding denim in your palette ?

[@pestinora]

Great video!! I'm curious if you have any tips on how to choose with the warm/yellow lights in the shop? I'm an olive toned soft summer and I always choose soft autumn colours because the overhead lights make my skin look more yellow. I leave many times with the wrong shades :(

[@pinkroses135]

I would like a video on neutrals

[@feralfarrell1336]

Neutral!!!! And can vids be made for skin tones ex: pale with red under, olive with etc etc lol. Idk nothin about this amazing video as always. ❤

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

For many women (me) beset by ugre to buy, leaving a store empty handed is a major feat of willpower.

[@aprilbatley6738]

can u do a video on different seasons denim colors ?

[@LeighMerrydayPorch]

You twi just saved me $175 dollars. I thought having a light neutral for handmade flats might be nice as I live in a sauna (Florida). My favorites come in lots of colors, but the lightest pair is cream. And I've never really explored wearing much gray. I was fiercely tempted to break palette and go for the cream anyway, arguing that it might not matter in terms of distance for my face. But you're right. And I can close out that tab and take a little more time in the hunt. They haven't earned a place in my close -- especially with them being out of harmony with my dominant characteristic. You did a good deed today,, ladies! 🤣

[@AgeOfNefarious_Deception]

Neutrals 👍yes please.

[@Tinchabella]

Giulia, I love your lipstick in this video. 😍 What brand and colour is it?

[@user-ou1ex3tq3w]

That was great, loved the shopping tips! I did start falling for the forgetting about shape and style and just looking for my colours…. I’ve now become quite selective and I’ll think about a purchase a lot longer before I make it. Would love a video on seasonal neutrals! Also what are your best tips for finding your style?

[@prawncrisp5951]

Great observation about the initial intoxication that comes with discovering one’s personal colour palette - and moving through to emerge on the other side once you’ve integrated the (admittedly, very exciting) information. And I second that - would love to hear G & A’s tips for us to find / refine our own style.

[@missnars87]

Can I please ask - I find because I’m a warm autumn I really struggle leaning into soft or dark autumn because they look obviously wrong. I feel like I’m stuck in tan, khaki, orange and brick red with the yellow/mustards being okay but the best (better with warm reds and orange) and I’m more stuck now than before my analysis. Do you guys have any tips for the people whose dominant type is their undertone?

[@lemmings6516]

Hey you two, when you say that finding our colour season facilitates our shopping experience could you maybe consider making another video about being olive? Because I never really know what colours to strive for. I would say out auf all seasons I’m an autumn but I can take a little more intensity than a soft autumn and really can’t deal with the lighter colours of the season. The dark colours of soft autumn are perfect as I really need a loooot of contrast, so darker colours are generally better than lighter ones. So I thought dark autumn might be it But I also need some softness as I am not really bright, there is always some kind of muddyness to my skintone. There is no season I fully belong to. Most colours in winter need to be redbased to not bring out the green. So rust, purple and corals, peach’s and so on look good. In summer when I get really golden, I can get away with a lot of warmth. Greens look stunning in summer but horrible in winter. It’s just soooo confusing, could you maybe bring I some clarity?

[@lemmings6516]

If I was in Melbourne I would just come over but I feel like my skintone might be tricky to take an accurate picture of.

[@shoshanafox727]

​@@lemmings6516 if you are truly olive you probably have a cool blue undertone and a warm yellow overtone. That's what makes olive skin. You might be deep winter or soft summer, depending on intensity. If I were you, I'd look at those two palettes. Deep/dark winter is closest to deep/dark autumn. Btw I think these ladies are very good at online analysis.

[@greeneyedmimibostian3013]

I thrift all my clothes .

[@sharelle7307]

❤

[@pinkroses135]

I'm aiming for a more monochromatic signature look cause my closet is chaos

[@prawncrisp5951]

Fair! I think it’s natural to seek order when you feel your wardrobe has previously lacked coherence. To my mind, wardrobes based around monochromatic or restricted palettes work best when other aspects are used to generate harmony & interest. An understanding of how to achieve contrast or harmony through “register”, mood, silhouette, texture, weight, &c (in individual pieces & fabrics and the overall outfit). I see a fair bit of women’s clothing relying on a relatively narrow band (of texture & weight in particular), and it can be very rewarding to explore outside that, even taking very subtle variations into account.

[@pinkroses135]

Exactly! That is a great point. I have been looking into more suede shoes, lurex tops, different sweater knits, velvet, lace etc.
