What is a PCA?
PCA is your Personal Colour Analysis - a process that determines colours to best enhance your natural features. The analysis places you into seasonal palettes based on these characteristics (skin, eyes and hair). The analysis guides wardrobe, makeup, and hair colour choices, helping you to look great and feel confident, harmonising personal style with natural beauty.
Why a PCA?
First Impressions count. Part of forming an impression is based on sight. Colours form a big part of what we see and colour is powerful. Harmony equals order and balance Identifying colours that complement our unique features simplifies shopping by guiding us to colours that will harmonise, creating a cohesive and stylish capsule wardrobe.
12 Tone Method
Our system is based on the science of natural colour harmony, using the Munsell colour system. It places each colour in its natural order in terms of Hue, Value and Chroma. Using the colours from nature we have 12 categories made up of 4 seasons plus 8 colour tones surrounding them. At Cu in Colour we are certified by True Colour International and use the advanced 12 TONE TCI Method.
