02:55 Scientific vs Seasonal Color Analysis. How do you explain to a client the difference between seasonal colour analysis and the AOPI colour analysis. Ie without saying some colour analysts are dodgy. And why they are called by the seasons for most analysis. I know the 18 colour directions are more comprehensive.
Imogen explained that while seasonal color systems originated from art and often focus on two of the three color properties, the scientific approach she teaches examines all three properties, leading to more accurate and comprehensive color analyses.
10:15 They also addressed concerns about untrained individuals claiming expertise in color analysis, highlighting the need for proper training and understanding of color science.
13:25 The group discussed challenges in distinguishing between warm and cool tones, particularly for individuals with dark brown eyes and hair, emphasizing the importance of in-person draping over online analysis.
15:35 I have attached a photo of my friend. It has been keeping me up at night as to whether he is warm or cool. Are you able to tell me what you think?? I guessed he was opulent, but the more I look the more I second guess myself. I feel like I am struggling most with people who have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes… I watched back your webinar from early last year where you said Sandra Bullock was cool and I just couldn’t see it!!
22: 13 Imogen discussed color analysis, focusing on undertones and value scales. She explained that most people’s overtone matches their undertone, but noted exceptions where yellow tones can affect perception.
26:00 How dark does someone’s hair need to be to place their overall value at 1-2? Imogen emphasized the importance of considering skin tone when choosing foundation colors, and addressed questions about value scales, noting that value 1 is very dark brown to black, while value 2 is very dark brown. She also discussed the challenges of accurately determining hair color values due to screen and camera distortions.
28:40 If you are draping someone, and they’ve got light brown hair, and it;s kinda like a 5. Do you drape them light drape or drape them in dark?
31:10 Imogen shared her expertise on assessing skin undertones, emphasizing the importance of using multiple methods and remaining calm during consultations. She advised practitioners to compare different colors, use various undertone tests, and trust their initial instincts.
37:00 Imogen and Courtney also stressed the need to manage personal emotions and communicate effectively with clients, even when delivering difficult feedback.
40:20 The group discussed strategies for conducting color analysis consultations, with Alison sharing her approach of consulting a mentor to build client confidence.
44:00 Imogen suggesting practical experience through group drapings to build expertise.
47:15 Fiona shared details about an upcoming Bridgerton-themed event where she and Joe will conduct color analysis for Netflix fans.
