Yes, colour analysis can be done virtually. However, it should be approached with caution. You may have seen posts or apps that offer virtual colour analysis, and got a different result than you thought you would, or even got a different result each time you tried!

​

While AI platforms can explain the theory behind colour analysis, help you understand your undertones based on descriptions and suggest colour palettes based on your input, it cannot (yet) physically assess your skin tone, eye colour, and hair colour, use draping techniques to see how colours interact with your complexion, or offer the nuanced, personalised feedback a professional stylist provides.

​

Even if it could do these things (and it may do so in the future), it would still need a colour-correct photo of your face to do the analysis, as well as in-depth knowledge of the colour analysis system it uses. There are many systems out there, most based on the original four seasons system, but all expanded and defined in slightly different ways. AI tends to lump all the information it can find together, which means you'll probably end up with a lot of conflicting advice.

Many years of experience with personal colour analysis, as well as the proven accuracy of the Absolute colour system, gives me the ability to analyse colour from a photo with great success, provided that you send me accurate photos of yourself - which will be easy if you follow the instructions I provide. This means that you don't have to travel to see me in person to get all the same benefits!
