A color analysis identifies the colors that most naturally harmonize with your features. It considers factors such as skin undertone, color temperature, depth or value, intensity or chroma, and personal contrast. Rather than relying only on a broad seasonal label, Sterling’s approach uses these characteristics to provide practical direction for clothing, makeup, hair color, jewelry, and accessories.
