Let’s talk about neutral undertones + 12 color palettes + hue/value/chroma
The TCI Method + the color analysis world
Color Analysis 101: Let’s talk! Neutral undertones? Why not just Warm or Cool? What do you mean by hue/value/chroma?!
Human coloration is diverse, beautiful, and affected by our undertones, our natural skin pigmentation, and the way we’re designed!
Traditional color analysis focuses on four true seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn.
People are categorized as either an all cool season: Winter and Summer (blue undertones) or all warm season: Autumn and Spring (yellow undertones). Even the sub seasons now are still only warm or cool. We now know that the majority of people’s undertones are neither just cool or warm but somewhere in the middle = neutral! (warm/neutral or cool/neutral).
Enter the TCI 12-Tone Method. Utilizing the colors found in nature and the three dimensions of color, 8 neutral undertone palettes (cool/neutral and warm/neutral) have been added to the original 4 seasons. These 12 palettes represent 12 distinct areas of color space and are distinguished from one another based on the three core properties of color; hue, value and chroma.
An in-person personal color analysis with a certified TCI Analyst will show how your undertones react to specific colors and which hue, value, and chroma are best for you!
HUE (Temperature): Are you warm (yellow undertones), cool (blue undertones), or warm/neutral (yellow with some blue undertones) or cool/neutral (blue with some yellow undertones)?
VALUE: Are light, dark, or colors in between better for you?
CHROMA: Are colors with brightness and saturation better or do you need colors that are more soft and muted?
This form of personal color analysis is advanced and accurate and truly celebrates our unique coloring!
