One of my lifetime interests is colour. I am an artist with a rusty analytical chemistry degree and graduate teaching diploma. I'm interested in the art and science of colour. I especially enjoy painting.
I wrote a series of blog posts some years back about colour, such as why our eyes are the colour they are. They have since been deleted but perhaps I will touch on some aspects I researched at the time. In this blog post, I would like to try to summarise some of the main influences towards the development of personal colour analysis. Plus address the question: "Is colour analysis pseudoscience?"

'Natural light is best', so the saying goes. In general, natural light can be better for accurate colours, compared to regular home or work artificial lighting. However, 'natural light' (from the Sun) can vary tremendously, as I hope to illustrate in this blog post, with a series of no makeup selfies. No makeup, so the apparent skin tone isn't masked.
The iris colour was sampled digitally below each image. The eyebrow, skin colour and sclera 'white' was sampled on the side. |
