Celebrity Color Analysis

It's fun to look at Celebrity Color Analysis and see whose coloring you can most associate with.

I don't mean to sound mean but it's also reassuring to realize that, with all the availability of money and stylists, some of the world's most famous faces don't always get it right either.

Matching characteristics

This is Tonal Color Analysis which looks at color characteristics in both the individual and the color group and neatly matches them up. Echoing your natural coloring in the colors you wear creates harmony and you'll always look your best.  

Of course I'm being purely subjective with the beautiful ladies below. Makeup, lighting and background will all influence the colors in a photograph. 

So if you see some of these faces described differently on other websites it's because none of us know what they really look like behind the 'slap'.

But if you can recognize your coloring it will help you to find your best look too.

The LIGHT color family

The LIGHT Color Family groups together all light shades across the spectrum, including both Warm and Cool colors.  

These are not all wishy washy pastel tones because LIGHT, in this instance, means that they have a light color pigment - and therefore a gentle intensity. 

If you are very fair wearing LIGHT colors close to your face will be the most flattering - dark colors will be heavy and overpower your gentle coloring. 

You will find some of these colors in the SPRING and SUMMER color palette.

The DEEP color family

The DEEP Color Family groups together all the shades with a strong and heavy color pigment right across the spectrum. It includes both Warm and Cool colors.

These are not just dark colors per se but those with an intense color pigment.

If your natural coloring is strong and dramatic then you need strong and dramatic colors to balance. Wearing DEEP colors will echo your natural coloring. 

A true DEEP has elements of both Warm and Cool. You will find some of these colors in both the AUTUMN and WINTER color palettes. 

The WARM color family

Every color includes a shade with a yellow or WARM undertone. Put them altogether and you have the WARM color family.

If you have any natural red/auburn hair tones (even if your hair is darker) these colors will probably flatter you. Choose the warmest shades from both Spring and Autumn. Cool or blue tones can appear harsh on your skin.

You will find some of these colors in both the SPRING and AUTUMN palettes. 

The COOL color family

Every color (excluding orange) will have a shade with a blue or COOL undertone. Put them together and you have the COOL Color Family.

Cool eyes, pink skin and brown hair? These could be the colors for you - choose the coolest from both Summer and Winter. Colors with a yellow or Warm undertone can make the skin look quite sickly.

You will find some of these colors in both the SUMMER and the WINTER palettes. 

The BRIGHT color family

The BRIGHT color family has pure clear shades - complete clarity with little to no undertone.

If you have startlingly bright eyes, deep toned hair and clear skin then this may be your color palette. You will find Bright tones in both the Spring and the Winter seasons. 

You will find some of these clear colors in both the SPRING and the WINTER palettes.

The MUTED color family

The MUTED Color Family groups together all the soft muted shades across the spectrum. When any color is mixed with a little grey it makes it more gentle - this is MUTED.

This is a richly blended color palette just like your natural coloring which may be confusing; you are neither Light nor Deep; neither Warm nor Cool.

Often called the Armani colors - Giorgio Armani creates luxurious brands from demure shades such as these - they reflect his pure and sophisticated style perfectly combined with elegance and simplicity.

Many top models have this coloring - you will find some of these colors in both the AUTUMN and SUMMER palettes. 

Want to discover your Color Family

Online Color Analysis - I work with both Tonal Color families and the Seasons so, in total, there are 10 Color Families. 

One of them will be just right for YOU to discover your own best color palette. 

Every color group is a delight - it just depends on your own individual coloring where you actually fit.
