• What services does House of Colour Papillion offer?


Color Analysis is a service performed by a professionally trained consultant who looks at skin undertones in natural lighting with precision-dyed drapes to determine your color palette. This identifies the most flattering hues for clothing and makeup based on natural features.

A style consultation consists of looking at body architecture, proportions and personality to find the best style for you.

We also offer personal shopping, where we cater your shopping experience to your individual needs; closet edits, where we work closely with you to refine your wardrobe, and subscriptions, which provide ongoing communication and support on your style journey. 
 

• Can everyone benefit from a color analysis?


Absolutely, yes! Not only does it enhance your appearance, but it also helps boost confidence, streamlines your wardrobe, and saves you money. 

• What are the different color seasons in color analysis?

Color analysis often categorizes individuals into different "seasons" based on their coloring:

Spring: Spring individuals have warm undertones with light or bright coloring. Spring colors are vibrant and fresh.

Summer: Summer individuals have cool undertones with light, muted coloring. Summer colors are soft and smoky. 

Autumn: Autumn individuals have warm undertones with rich, earthy coloring. 

Winter: Winter individuals have cool undertones with deep, vivid coloring. Winter colors are bold and striking.

What are some common misconceptions?

One common misconception about determining undertones is relying solely on surface-level observations. While factors like hair and eye color can provide clues, they may not accurately reflect underlying undertones. Additionally, individuals may mistakenly assume their undertones based on sun exposure or temporary factors like makeup. Professional consultation is crucial for accurate analysis as we use precision-dyed drapes and techniques to assess undertones in natural lighting, ensuring precise identification of the individual's color palette.
