“Are you spring or autumn?” was a staple of women’s magazine quizzes for much of the 1980s and 1990s thanks to Colour Me Beautiful, the colour consultancy firm which promised to help streamline the act of choosing your clothes and make-up based on whether your complexion was better suited to pastels or deep berry hues.
Far from obsolete, the practice has undergone a revival with the TikTok generation. And in our home-obsessed era, of course brands are now offering colour consultations for our interiors, too.
