Color Analysis for Women of Color


Color analysis is a process during which a trained color analyst identifies a set or palette of colors that is perfect for you. It's a great way to avoid the mistake of wearing colors that look like they are wearing you.

But sometimes, color analysis does not work well for women of color. Watch the video below to learn more about why...

Color Analysis for Women of Color


Sometimes people ask me, "Is color analysis just for white people? Is it relevant for people of African descent or other people of color?" The answer is that color analysis is absolutely relevant for people of color. 12-tone color analysis is applicable to people of every skin tone, from very light to very dark. It's a sad fact that some websites and books about color analysis don't address people with very dark skin tones. - Truth-is-Beauty.com

One reason color analysis can be a challenge for women of color is that color analysts, in the past, have been taught to believe, and therefore, expect that women of color are likely to fall into the deep seasons. I suppose that that is because their coloring is often deeper than that of Caucasian women.

But it's a mistake to assume that means anything, because it is each woman's relationship to other colors that matters, not how she compares to other women. 

If you actually use color analysis - free of bias - to analyze a women of color's relationship to other colors, you'll find that they fit into every category.

Are there categories that are less likely to have women of color? My best answer to that is maybe.

But it doesn't matter. We just need to know when they do fit into each category.


Because women of color have failed to get a fair shake for so long on the color analysis world, I am specializing in working with women of color.

And if you know my own color analysis story, you'll know that I was told I was the wrong season when I was much younger and gave many years away to wearing the wrong colors because of it. I don't want that to keep happening to other women of color.


And one reason I was so excited to find Limelife is their commitment to creating color that flatters women of color and makes us glow. Once I help you identify your best colors, I don't want you to face a limited makeup selection, I want the makeup world to be yours, too.

​So LimeLife is a great way to match you to your best makeup colors, as well. 

Have you ever been color analyzed?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

    ​Hi, I'm Jeanine Byers :)

    I'm an author,  Christian image consultant, proud former homeschool boy mom of a college student, Hallmark movie fan and big cuppa tea drinker. 

    I believe that creating your signature style is a spiritual calling. It's about seeing yourself as God does and delighting in your own beauty and style.

    I'm specializing in color analysis and signature style for black women.

    As women of color, we often aren't analyzed correctly when we receive color analysis. And all of our lives, we have been given sometimes subtle, and sometimes more overt societal messages about not meeting the cultural standards of beauty.

    My mission is to help you discover, embrace and celebrate your own beauty and style. 

    Thanks for dropping by! I'll see you soon.

    Love, Jeanine
