The Ultimate Seasonal Guides

ULTIMATE GUIDES LAUNCHING AUGUST 01

A deeper, more complete version of colour analysis is coming…

The Ultimate Seasonal Guides are the most comprehensive exploration of each season within the 16 season system—designed to bring together education, application, and real-world styling into one definitive reference.

While our Extended Palette guides show you the full range of colours within your season, the Ultimate Guides go further—helping you understand why those colours work, how to use them confidently, and how your palette functions across every part of your appearance and lifestyle.

Extended Palettes help you see your colours. Ultimate Guides help you understand them.

WHY WE’RE CREATING THE ULTIMATE GUIDES

“Palette Prescription has always been about making colour analysis clear, usable and enjoyable—not restrictive.

Through working with hundreds of clients, we noticed a consistent pattern: many people already knew their season, but were still looking for deeper understanding and practical guidance, not just a label and a group of colours.

These Ultimate Guides were built from real conversations, real confusion points, and the most common things people asked us again and again. They bring everything together in one place, so your season finally feels simple, practical and fully yours.”
