FAQ
What is colour analysis and how does it work?
Colour analysis is a professional process used to determine which colours best complement your natural features, including your skin tone, hair, and eyes. By using drapes and structured techniques, a Colour Analyst identifies whether you suit warm or cool tones, and which colour palette enhances your natural complexion. The result is a personalised set of colours that help you look brighter, healthier, and more confident in everything you wear.

Will my learning experience be interactive with LCS experts and fellow Colour Analysts in training?
Yes! – We are firm believers in group personalised and experiential training. Tutors will engage you in live weekly masterclasses, providing a friendly and personal experience where you can share work and experiences and receive feedback and support.

Does this training lead to qualified status as an accredited LCS Colour Analyst / Colour Practitioner?
Yes, it does. This is our flagship, advanced level training course, delivered online over nine weeks. Completion of the Colour for Creatives Advanced Diploma leads to accredited Colour Practitioner status with the London College of Style (LCS). This qualification enables you to offer professional, stand-alone colour analysis services and includes in-depth study of colour psychology, personality profiling, secondary influences, and the use of a full professional draping kit. This advanced training is essential for anyone wishing to offer colour analysis services independently or speak at colour-related events with confidence and professional impact.

These two terms are interchangeable — both refer to someone who has successfully completed the Colour for Creatives Advanced Diploma and is qualified to practise as a professional colour expert.

How will I know I’m making progress?
Yes, you will be required to practise your colour analysis skills on six case studies. These can be friends or family members who are willing to be photographed and have their images shared with your tutor for assessment purposes. For more information about how we protect this data, please refer to our Data Protection Policy at the end of this document.
How long is the course?
This is a nine-week course. One module will unlock each week, with the final (tenth) week scheduled for completion of your case studies and final assessment. Please note, you cannot fast-track the course — modules are released weekly to support a paced, progressive learning experience. You will retain lifetime access to the learning platform.
How much time should I dedicate each week?
We recommend allowing 3–4 hours per week to complete each module, including challenges, assessments and video content.
Will I need to find my own clients?
Your course is structured into ten modules, each including interactive challenges, quizzes, and practical assessments. Each week you’ll complete a module challenge and assessment to track your learning progress. Tutors will provide feedback on both your achievements and areas for development, helping you grow in confidence and skill throughout the programme.
