I Studied Color Analysis in Milan. Here’s What They Got Wrong.

My colour analysis teacher had 40 years of experience. She was brilliant. And she admitted she could never bridge colour theory into real-life styling. She called it “the theory of style”. And that phrase changed everything for me.

After 3 months of intensive training in Milan (compared to the 3-day online courses common today), I spent years watching the gap between colour analysis and actual wardrobes grow wider. Clients would discover their season, feel excited, go shopping… and end up more confused than before. The palettes were too small. The rules were too rigid. And nobody talked about how colours actually work together in an outfit.

This episode is about what went wrong, why it matters, and how I rebuilt the system from scratch.

If you’ve had your colours done and felt more restricted than free, this one’s for you.
