“I Wore Black for Decades. It Was a Mistake.”

One of my first professional headshots after opening my business. I chose black because I thought it looked professional and serious, but peep the brightly colored shoes I paired it with. Deep down, I knew I really wanted color!

When I finally broke down and decided to have my seasonal color analysis done, I’d been an interior designer for years. I understood color theory inside and out. I could walk into a client’s home and tell you exactly why a paint color was fighting the light in their living room, but when it came to my own wardrobe, I was guessing. I was buying whatever piqued my interest, and building a wardrobe full of a lot of nothing.

What Does Seasonal Color Analysis Really Do?

In short: it gives you answers. When you know your season, getting dressed stops being a guessing game. You walk into a store and already know that half of it is simply not for you, which means you stop wasting money on the pieces that wash you out,or that you wear once and quietly donate (hello, story of my life). Shopping from your season results in a wardrobe where you can basically pair any top with any bottom, and accessorize with any jewelry, belts, or shoes in your closet because it all works in harmony together. You look rested and lit from within, instead of slightly tired in a color that’s wearing you.

It’s the difference between a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear, and a closet that is full of clothes that work with your features (and with each other).

Who I Do This For

My clients tend to be women who are excellent at taking care of everyone and everything except themselves. They’re running businesses, households, and calendars that would make most people weep. They have exquisite taste and zero time, and the last thing they want is one more decision, thing to research, or rabbit hole to go down.

You know the dilemma. A sweater comes in twelve colors, and you walk out with the black one again, because you can’t quite picture when you’d wear any of the others. Color analysis settles that question before you ever reach the register. When you know the shades that were made for you, getting dressed stops being a daily negotiation and becomes one of the easiest, most pleasurable decisions of your morning.

Shop Smarter, Not Harder

Every wrong-colored item is money lost and closet space you don’t get back. Once upon a time, my closet was full to the brim with black. I wore it hoping to project confidence, but in the back of my mind I knew none of it really made me feel amazing. After I had my own color analysis done (and before I became a seasonal color analysis expert myself), the first thing I bought was a cantaloupe orange dress from my season. I have never felt more beautiful or more youthful than the moment I put it on.

Knowing your colors before you shop takes away the fatigue of endless browsing and the quiet disappointment when something doesn’t dazzle you in the dressing room. You bring home fewer, better pieces, and before long you have a closet full of clothing that all works together.

How It Works 

The session itself is simple. We sit down together in person and I drape you in the four seasonal palettes one shade at a time. We watch what the colors do to your skin as they change. Some make you look tired or washed out, and then we land on the ones that make you look radiant, and the answer becomes obvious. It’s part science and part magic, and the moment your season clicks into place is one of the great joys of this work for me.

You’ll walk away with your full custom palette and, more than that, an entirely new way of seeing yourself every time you stand in front of the mirror.

If you’ve been curious, this is your summer. Send me an email at info@rachelcannonlimited.com, and let me know you’re interested in scheduling your session! I’m already booked through July, so snag those August appointments soon before they fill up, too!
