In the 1930s, Johannes Itten, an art teacher of Bauhaus, examined his students’ color usage and techniques. He found that young artists preferred those colors that matched their appearance. After his discovery, he created color palettes and named them after each season in his published book, The Elements of Color.
As nature creates beautiful and harmonious colors, people also have a type of coloring similar to one of these seasonal palettes. People’s palettes appear on their faces.
The color of your hair, eyes, and skin tone determines the shades that enhance your natural beauty.
The suitable colors are grouped and named after the seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The four main seasons are further divided based on several years of experience the color and image consultants gained. The most common color system includes 12 seasonal palettes, but you can find more online options nowadays.
In 2018, I created my version of the color system, Your Unique Palette, using 14 seasonal palettes. I separated the Soft seasons into a lighter, Fair, and a darker, Shaded version.
In short, the color analysis puts you in one of the seasonal palettes based on your face traits. The colors in your seasonal palette will flatter your look and make your life easier.
In 1980, Carol Jackson published her book – Color Me Beautiful to ‘Discover Your Natural Beauty Through The Colors That Make You Look Great & Feel Fabulous!‘.
This book was a great milestone. Millions of women started changing their looks and gaining more confidence by wearing their unique power colors.

When you wear your perfect colors, the transformation is remarkable.
On the other hand, when you wear the wrong color:
My interest in colors started as a teenager. I collected many articles and test results that helped me better understand my personality and improve my fashion knowledge.
In the middle of the 1990s, my mom borrowed a book written by Mary Spillane: The Complete Style Guide, which changed my mind about clothing. This was the time when I first met with seasonal color analysis and the ‘Color Me Beautiful’ system.
I realized I was a Winter type, so I stopped wearing light brown and pale colors. I reorganized my wardrobe and bought some dark (black, gray, navy blue, or dark gray-brown) and vivid (red, green, purple, or pink) clothes. It was easy for me because I love these colors!
During high school and my twenties, I developed a distinctive style that my friends easily recognized; they called it ‘Agnes-y.’ When shopping with my gals, they can easily decide which clothes suit me or I would wear.
Soon, I imagined myself working as an image and color consultant, and my dream became true when I got my certification after a 10-week-long training in February 2013.
I am committed to helping you find a suitable style according to your seasonal palette, face, and body shape. So don’t look further for tips and advice.
This is one of my favorite quotes that summarizes the meaning of color analysis.
