ABOUT
PALETTE
PRESCRIPTION
Palette Prescription was created to challenge the rigid way colour analysis is often presented.
Too often, discovering your season comes with an unspoken rulebook: once you have your result, you’re expected to dress exclusively within it. No nuance. No flexibility. No explanation for why certain colours still don’t feel right.
Palette Prescription takes a different approach.
Here, colour analysis is treated as a framework — not a set of restrictions. While your season provides essential structure, not every colour within it will be your best. Your strongest colours are shaped by a more specific combination of hue, chroma, contrast and depth, and those subtleties matter.
This is why two people in the same season can look completely different in the same colour — and why self-identifying online doesn’t always click.
Education sits at the heart of Palette Prescription. The goal is not just to give you a result, but to help you understand why it works, where it flexes, and how to use it confidently. Knowing your season should give you more freedom, not less — including the freedom to break “rules” with intention.
Think spectrum, not shortlist.
Your season is the framework. Your best colours are the refinement.
Palette Prescription offers virtual colour analysis services for individuals, duos, and groups by request. It’s also a considered gift for anyone who’s tried to figure out their colours on their own — and wants clarity without confusion.
ABOUT ME
MAREE ELLARD
Palette Prescription Founder
I’m the founder of Palette Prescription, and I approach colour analysis through a corrective, educational lens.
My background spans corporate styling and over seven years in brand marketing, where understanding visual harmony, perception, and personal presentation wasn’t optional — it was the job. That experience shapes how I analyse colour: strategically, thoughtfully, and always with the individual in mind.
I’m particularly interested in the grey areas of colour analysis — the people who don’t fit neatly into online systems, who feel close to multiple seasons, or who’ve received a result but can’t quite make it work in real life.
Rather than handing over a label and moving on, my focus is on helping you understand your colouring in context. What actually supports your features. Why certain colours sing while others fall flat. And how to apply your results in a way that feels natural, modern, and personal.
Colour analysis shouldn’t feel prescriptive or intimidating. It should feel clarifying.
Palette Prescription exists to give you that clarity — and the confidence to use it your way.
