For 16 years, I’ve helped clients of all backgrounds discover their ideal colors through color analysis. While I’ve always been happy with the tools I use, I recently felt inspired to create something that would make the experience even more precise, especially regarding neutrals.

I suggested to Studio Immagine in Brazil, which manufactures my testing products, that they add fabric swatches in a variety of neutral tones—like warm and cool beiges in light and deep shades, as well as browns, grays, navy, black, and white. This simple addition has made a huge difference! Now, clients can see how different neutrals look on them right next to their faces, which makes understanding their color palettes much easier.

Since I began testing these new swatches, more than 25 clients have finally seen why specific browns, for example, look incredible on them while others don’t. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive—even brides love discovering their best shade of white.

So, if you think you don’t need a color analysis because you only wear neutrals, here’s an excellent reason to reconsider. Not all grays are the same, and not all trendy browns will suit everyone. Knowing the difference helps you choose colors that enhance your look, even if you stick to neutrals. And if you still want to wear a shade that isn’t your best, there are ways to balance its effects—I do it all the time!
