Nature is full of effortless color harmony: a sunset melting into the mountains, deep blue water meeting warm sand, a meadow of wildflowers in bloom. You were made with that same harmony. Your skin, hair, and eyes work together in a color story that is uniquely yours.

Personal color analysis is the process of studying your natural coloring to find the range of colors that harmonize with it. When you wear those colors, people notice you, not your clothes. You look healthy, rested, and radiant, and you feel more like yourself.

Knowing your palette also makes everyday choices easier. Shopping, getting dressed, choosing makeup, jewelry, hair color, even nail polish all get simpler once you know what works and why.

During your analysis, we'll answer questions like:

• Do warm, cool, or neutral colors flatter you more, and how strongly?

• Are you at your best in clear, vivid colors or soft, muted ones?

• Do lighter shades brighten you, or do deeper ones give you definition?

The answers come together into your personal palette, a practical guide you can use for years to come.

A color analysis is one of the few style investments that pays off every single day.

You'll look and feel your best. Colors that harmonize with your skin, hair, and eyes make you look brighter, healthier, and more polished, without any extra effort. When you know you look good, you carry yourself differently.

You'll save time and money. Your personal palette becomes a guide for clothing, makeup, and accessories. You'll stop buying things that never quite work and build a wardrobe where nearly everything goes together. Getting dressed gets easier, and so does shopping.

You'll discover new possibilities. Many clients are surprised to find beautiful colors they'd overlooked for years. Your palette isn't a set of restrictions. It's permission to experiment with confidence.

It works for every lifestyle. Whether you lead meetings, teach a classroom, run a business, speak on stage, create content, sell homes, or chase kids all day, knowing your colors helps you show up as your most confident self.

It's an investment in yourself that keeps giving, long after your session ends.

The Color Rx Approach

At Color Rx, I use 12-season color analysis, a precise, detailed method for identifying the colors that naturally harmonize with you. It's grounded in color theory and the way we actually perceive color: hue, value, and chroma, and how each one interacts with your skin, hair, and eyes.

Traditional color analysis sorted everyone into four seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Each was defined by a cool or warm undertone. That framework was a great start, but it left many people in between. Most of us aren't simply cool or warm. Our coloring is a unique blend of temperature, depth, and clarity.

The 12-season system accounts for that. Each of the four original seasons branches into three distinct palettes, for a total of 12. That allows for a far more accurate, personal result, so you get your colors, not a close approximation.

During your session, I place carefully selected drapes beside your face in controlled lighting so we can see, side by side, how each color affects you. The wrong colors can overpower you, cast shadows, or emphasize what you'd rather downplay. The right ones bring your features into focus. Your skin looks clearer, your eyes brighter, and you look like the best version of yourself. It's often a surprising, even emotional moment, and I love being there for it.

Color Rx is built on kindness and integrity. My goal is to give you tools, not rules, so you leave feeling confident, informed, and free to express who you are.

Your consultation will last 90 to 120 minutes. A few simple steps beforehand will help ensure the most accurate results:

• Dress comfortably. Wear whatever feels relaxed and easy.

• Arrive with a bare face. Please skip makeup, concealer, and any sunless or self-tanning products.

• Protect your skin from the sun. Avoid sunburns and heavy sun exposure for at least one week before your appointment, since both can temporarily change your coloring.

• Skip the perfume. Fragrance transfers onto the drapes.

• Consider contacts. If you wear glasses, I'll ask you to remove them periodically during the analysis, so clear contact lenses may be more convenient.

For more details, see the "Preparing for Your Appointment" link at the top of the home page.

Natural gray hair is no problem. It's part of your natural coloring, so there's no need to cover it during your analysis.

If your hair is colored or highlighted, we'll cover it with a neutral gray cap so it doesn't influence the results. You're welcome to remove the cap at the end if you'd like a photo in one of your season's drapes. We can also talk about natural hair colors that harmonize with your palette.

YES!! Friends and partners are always welcome, and I encourage it. Color analysis is a fun way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or new chapter in life.

Because sessions run long, children under 10 aren't recommended unless they're receiving a service themselves.

It depends on how you were analyzed.

If you were typed with the 4 Season method, you'll likely get a different, more specific result. The 4 Season method only offers warm or cool undertones, while the 12-Tone method also accounts for neutral undertones (warm-neutral and cool-neutral), which many people have. The result is a more precise, personalized palette.

If you were analyzed virtually or from photos, you'll also likely get a different result. Screens and cameras don't show color accurately, and monitor calibration varies widely, so digital analysis isn't reliable.

If you were analyzed in person with the 12-Tone method, you may not need to be reevaluated, but you're welcome to book a session to refresh your palette or go deeper on styling. If you do not feel comfortable in your palette and that something is amiss, it’s never a bad idea to reevaluate.

I am a certified color analyst trained in the True Colour International 12 Tone personal color analysis method. If you were analyzed in a different method, it is highly likely you will end up with a different result!

If you were previously typed in a 4 Season system (which only has options for warm or cool undertones), you will likely get a more specific (and possibly altogether different) result with the TCI 12 Tone approach to color analysis. TCI's 12 Tone method has options for neutral undertones. It is estimated that two thirds of the population are one of the 8 warm-neutral or cool-neutral tones. The TCI method is a more reliable, more detailed, and scientific approach than the 4 Season System. It's a great way to get the most accurate and specific result available in the marketplace today.

Similarly, if you had your colors done virtually or digitally, it is very likely you will have a different result. Simply put, as discussed above, digital or virtual analysis is faulty. Digital images are unreliable; computer monitor color calibration varies widely and doesn’t present color accurately; colors from the environment around us (lighting, wall color, furnishings, etc) also affect our coloring, leading to inaccurate and incorrect results.

Yes, at the right moments! To keep your analysis accurate, I ask that phones stay put away during the draping process. Once your season is revealed, you're welcome to take photos and videos in your best drapes, and I'm happy to help get the shot. Tag @color_rx_omaha if you share — I love seeing them!

Yes. Accurate results require an in-person session.

Photos and screens can't be trusted for color: cameras adjust what they capture, and monitor calibration varies widely, so no two screens show your coloring the same way. That's why I don't offer virtual analysis.

In the studio, every variable is controlled: full-spectrum lighting, professionally calibrated drapes, a neutral gray space, and a standardized process. Nothing alters what we see, so your result reflects your true coloring.

That's where I come in! In a closet session, we'll go through your clothes, shoes, and accessories together to see what already works with your palette. Then we'll build a list of high-, mid-, and low-priority pieces to invest in, so you have a clear, step-by-step path to a closet you love.

Pricing depends on the size of your wardrobe and the time needed. [Contact me / Book a consultation] for a quote.

A group appointment includes everything an individual session does. The difference is that I cover the educational portion once for everyone instead of repeating it for each person. Your individual draping time is exactly the same either way, so everyone gets their full time in the spotlight.

You're welcome to book separately, but there's no need to. Many clients find they learn even more by watching a friend or partner's draping, and it's a lot more fun together. Group sessions also come with a per-person discount.
