Color Analysis

You probably remember color analysis starting in the 80s becoming popular due to the book, Color Me Beautiful.  That system is still available, but it's also been expanded to explain more variety and help women really find their best looks.  It's called Seasonal Color Analysis, among other titles, and generally involved 12 Seasonal groups, though some systems have other numbers.  You might want to see my timeline of the development of Seasonal Color Analysis.
