There are more than 16 million shades of colour in existence. So when someone asks, "Which colours truly suit me?" — it's not easy to answer that question by intuition alone.

That is precisely why I developed a system designed to bring structure to this vast colour spectrum and identify the zone that interacts most harmoniously with a person's natural colouring.

Just as design has its laws of composition and proportion, colour-type analysis has its own principles governing how colour interacts with skin, eyes, hair, and the overall visual impression of a look.

Years of research led me to the conclusion that colour-type analysis is grounded in the patterns of colour perception — the physical, mathematical, and psychological laws that govern how colour and light interact.

These are the very principles on which my methodology is built. It translates complex analytical processes into a clear, structured system that is straightforward to apply.

This is how the harmonious shade zone takes shape — a range of shades that combine most naturally and beautifully with a particular person's appearance.

It is important to understand that the closed system represented by an ellipse is not a restriction. On the contrary, it acts as a guide through more than 16 million possible shades, helping you find the colour solutions that will work best for you.

What's more, the zone itself — taking all colours into account — can contain over 100,000 potentially harmonious shades suited to a given appearance. This shows that the system doesn't narrow your choices; rather, it helps you organise and simplify the search for harmonious colour solutions.

It is also worth noting that in some cases, stepping outside the harmonious shade zone can be a deliberate stylistic choice. That, too, is part of skilled professional work with personal style.

The harmonious shade zone is therefore not a constraint. It is a tool — one that simplifies the process of selecting harmonious colour solutions from among millions of existing shades, reduces subjectivity, and helps you gain a clearer understanding of which colours and shades are truly the most flattering for a specific appearance.
