Carabella Colour Analysis and Image Design

Most people understand depth (how light or dark a colour is) and undertone (how warm or cool it is), but there’s a third property of colour: clarity.

Clarity refers to how pure or muted a colour appears. Bright, vibrant colours reflect light, while softer, dusty shades absorb it.
Even when the depth and undertone are right, clarity can make all the difference. Softer colouring is often overwhelmed by bright shades, while those with stronger colouring can find muted colours dull or draining.

For example, Sophie Ellis-Bextor shines in clear emerald green, whereas Kylie Minogue looks her best in softer, gentler tones. Clarity also affects fabric choice - satin enhances colour intensity by reflecting light, while jersey softens it by absorbing light.

As we all have an element of clarity in our colouring, it’s an important factor to consider when choosing clothes and make-up.

It’s prime sale time right now, making it the perfect opportunity to update your wardrobe for next season. Purple is tipped to be one of the biggest colours this autumn and, interestingly, it features in every tonal palette. The difference is in how you wear it, as the most flattering shades and combinations vary from one palette to another.

It’s well worth scouting the sales for purple pieces that you can layer, such as long or short sleeve T shirts, lightweight knits or even accessories like bags. They’ll all give your wardrobe an instant lift and help you transition into the new season. Remember, it’s not about starting again, more about updating the pieces you already have.

The ultimate compliment!
A little while ago, two lovely friends came into the studio to discover their perfect palettes. Their friend came along for the ride, watched the transformations unfold, and loved what she saw so much that she just had to book a session for herself!
It was such a joy having this wonderful trio back in the studio to complete the set. There is nothing quite like sharing the confidence boost of finding your true colours with your best friends.
Thank you, ladies, for bringing such fabulous energy to the studio!
