What Happens in a Virtual Color Analysis Session

What Is Virtual Color Analysis?

If you’ve been curious about booking a virtual color analysis, you’ve probably wondered: How does it work? Maybe you’ve seen in-person draping with fabric swatches and thought it wouldn’t be possible online. Or maybe you’ve tried a free quiz and still felt uncertain about your results. 

A professional online color analysis is different—it’s accurate, personal, and designed to give you a clear seasonal color palette you can actually use in your everyday life.

 


Step 1: Virtual Color Analysis Photos & Questionnaire

Once you book your session, I’ll send you a detailed draping guide. A common worry clients have is: “But I don’t own a ton of colorful clothes—how can this work?” Don’t stress. Even if you only have a white t-shirt and a few basics, my guide shows you exactly how to capture photos in natural lighting that give me everything I need for an accurate analysis.

Along with the photos, you’ll fill out a short style questionnaire. This isn’t just busywork—I use your answers to understand your preferences, lifestyle, and style goals. My approach is collaborative. I want you to feel seen and valued from the start, not just placed into a rigid “box.”


Step 2: The Virtual Color Analysis Process

Once your photos are submitted to my secure portal, I begin the real work.

Here’s what makes my process different from most:

  • I light and color balance your photos to remove distractions like shadows or background tones.

  • I use digital draping, where I place your images against a sequence of colored backgrounds. This allows me to study how each undertone, chroma, and level of contrast interacts with your natural coloring.

  • I check your photos against a full range of drapes in the 16 Season Color Analysis system—so we don’t just settle for “close enough.” If your best palette is a sister season or somewhere in between, we’ll find it.

The average turnaround time is 2–3 business days, and the result isn’t just “you’re a Summer” or “you’re a Winter.” It’s a custom, flexible palette tailored to your coloring and your style.


Step 3: Your Personalized Color Palette Results

When your analysis is complete, you’ll receive:

✔ A digital palette of 50+ harmonious shades from your best season
✔ Flexible color suggestions that account for your unique style
✔ A personalized set of 8 of your best colors chosen by me
✔ Hair & makeup shade recommendations that suit your undertone
✔ A color theory breakdown so you understand why your palette works

This isn’t about rules—it’s about tools. My goal is to give you clarity, not restriction.


Step 4: Complimentary Follow-Up Session

Here’s where my service really stands apart: I don’t just email you results and disappear. Every client receives a complimentary virtual follow-up session.

In this call, we talk through your palette, how it fits into your current wardrobe, and what your next steps could look like. You can ask questions about shopping, makeup, or even how to transition your existing clothes into outfits that work with your colors.

Most clients tell me this session is where it all “clicks.” They leave not just with a palette, but with practical guidance for using it in everyday life.


Why Virtual Color Analysis Is Just as Accurate as In-Person

Many people assume an in-person session must be more accurate. The reality? With the right process, virtual color analysis can be just as precise—and often more flexible. You don’t need to travel, you don’t need to own piles of clothing, and you get the benefit of a stylist who guides you beyond just naming your season.

The end result?

  • Shopping feels less overwhelming—you instantly know what suits you.

  • You look put together, even on “off” days.

  • Your wardrobe feels like it fits your brand, your lifestyle, and your personality.

  • People notice your glow before they even know what’s changed.
