Discover your key colors
Key Color Analysis is run by Karen Young, a New York City-based color analyst.
I trained in the in-person Color Analysis Mastery Program at the International Image Institute in Toronto, Canada, under Karen Brunger—the creator of the 16–23 season system I use in my practice.
I offer accurate, fun, transformational color analysis sessions in my private studio at Hunters Point Studios in Long Island City, Queens.

Benefits of Color Analysis
-
Embrace your natural glow
Your key colors naturally enhance and harmonize with your natural features to smooth your skin’s appearance, minimize blemishes, and brighten your eyes and hair.
-
Curate an intentional image
The reference palette you receive has 30+ of your best colors to simplify the process of choosing your best clothing, hair, makeup, and nail colors.
-
Harness your authentic self
When you wear your colors, it creates a harmonious appearance between your clothing and natural features. In the right colors, people see you, not just your clothes.
Color analysis is an image consulting practice grounded in color theory. During a color analysis session, we use visual checks of colored drapes to determine your skin's undertone, whether it be warm, cool, or neutral.
The final result is a palette of colors perfectly aligned with your natural features.
