Colour Analysis Consultation
Enhance Your Personal Style
Based in Christchurch
Transform your wardrobe with a palette that suits your skin tone and allows you to curate outfits that work.
I frequently travel to other centres and can either arrange a face-to-face consultation, or we can connect virtually if that suits you better.
Meet Stephanie Rumble
Fashion Stylist in Christchurch New Zealand
I'm Stephanie Rumble, Founder of Bright Red working as a personal stylist and colour consultant virtually and in person in Christchurch, and I help people of all ages and genders rediscover their confidence through style. I have been doing this for nearly 20 years. A colour analysis consultation is the first step to understanding what really works for your natural features, skin tone, eyes and hair colour.
​
In your colour analysis personal styling session, we guide you through colour theory in fashion, make up colour advice, how to put colour together in clothing and we’ll identify your most flattering tones — your signature colours — so you can start building a wardrobe that feels cohesive, empowering, and totally you. Whether you’re refreshing your style or starting from scratch, a colour consultation will change how you see yourself not only in the mirror but from within.
​
We use fabric (or virtual) drapes to ascertain whether you have a warm or cool undertone to your skin. This allows us to eliminate the colours that pale you and keep working with the colours that brighten you. We have specially built lights that are designed exactly for this process. We are all specifically trained in comprehensive analysis that means that we look at every aspect of your personal colouring to see what makes you glow. This is a science and an art so you can ask any questions about the process to clarify and be reassured that we are both on the same page. Throughout the process we are consulting you and discussing the colour matching process so you learn and see your colour palette evolve before your eyes.
Personal colour analysis is about connecting with who you are and making colour your secret weapon and your superpower.

What is the Process for Personal Colour Analysis?
Once you enquire, we’ll arrange a time to meet either in person or virtually. During the session, we use professional colour analysis tools to assess your skin under and overtones which help us determine exactly what works best for you.
We work with a colour system that has 16 colour directions so we can really tailor the colour palette to your unique colouring. From there we'll explore your personalised colour palette, discuss how to use it, and how it fits into your personal styling goals.
You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, reassurance and a clear plan for moving forward whether that’s for shopping, wardrobe editing, or a deeper style transformation.

The Power of Colour in Real Life
You may be curious or maybe even a little unsure about how colour analysis really works, or whether it’s right for you. Let us explain..
This section provides you with a deeper understanding of what a colour consultation can do for your wardrobe, your confidence, and everyday life. This is some inspiration to help you make the decision that’s right for you.
Let’s Talk About Colour Confidence
Wearing the right colours can lift your mood, make your skin glow, and help you feel more at home in your clothes. Yet so many people default to black or neutrals out of habit or fear.
That’s where a colour consultant (either virtually or in Christchurch) like myself can help. I’ll gently guide you towards colours that enhance your natural beauty and give you a fresh perspective on what’s possible.
What Makes Colour So Powerful?
Colour communicates. It tells people how you want to show up in the world, how confident you are, and how you see yourself. With a colour analysis personal styling session, you’ll understand how to use colour to your advantage — whether in professional settings, social occasions, or just daily life.
Your signature colours are your starting point and we work to explain how all of your colours work together to make your wardrobe more cohesive. Understanding what suits you makes shopping easier, dressing faster, and expressing yourself feel more authentic.
Why This Isn’t Just About Clothes?
When you understand your colours, it filters into all aspects of your life and helps you make informed choices about: Your hair colour choices. Your makeup. Your accessories and what to choose to make a professional impact.
We approach colour analysis as the starting point for personal style - allowing you to feel grounded in self-awareness, personal growth, and beauty that reflects who you are on the inside.
Your Style Starts Here
A single colour consultancy session can save you countless hours and costly shopping mistakes. You’ll finally understand colour matching, how to build outfits that feel cohesive, and maybe understand why some of your past purchases may not have worked.
This is what personal styling should feel like.
LOCATIONS
While I’m based in Christchurch, I frequently travel to other centres across New Zealand and can often arrange face-to-face sessions in cities like Auckland, Wellington, or Queenstown. I also offer virtual consultations for clients nationwide, so you can access this transformational experience wherever you are.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a colour analysis consultation?
When you book a colour analysis consultation with us, we explore the colours that suit your natural features so you can build a flattering and cohesive wardrobe. This involves draping warm and cool shades in front of you with specialised lighting that allows us to see what lights you up and what drains your colour. We work through a process of eliminating colours that do not work so you can see you palette emerging before you. We then use cape drapes so you get the full picture of what suits you.
How long does a colour analysis the session take?
Sessions typically take between 70 - 120minutes. We take the time to ensure you leave feeling clear, confident, and excited about your new colour direction.
Do I need to bring anything with me for a colour analysis session?
You don’t need to bring anything, but if you have a few favourite (or confusing!) items (up to 5) , I’m happy to include them in our session and help you use your new palette to see whether they work for you.
Will I get a colour swatch that I can use everywhere?
Absolutely. I’ll give you a personalised digital colour swatch which is loaded onto your phone and you can use it discreetly every time you go shopping. This is state of the art 21st century personal colour analysis - it can also be used for online shopping so you can see before you push pay whether you are making the right choices.
Is colour analysis only for women?
​Not at all. I welcome clients of all genders who want to feel more confident and authentic in their style choices. who want to understand how to use colour to enhance their image and confidence.
Can a colour analysis be done online?
Yes! I offer virtual colour analysis consultations, and they’re every bit as personalised and insightful as an in-person session.
How do I know a colour analysis will work for me?
​Because I tailor everything to you — your skin tone, hair and eye colour. Colour analysis is an art and a science - it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach.
I always wear black. Will I have to give it up?
You choose what you want to wear. This process is about empowerment. We’ll look at whether black works for you, and if not, I’ll show you other options that feel just as powerful — maybe even better. We will help you see that there may be some beautiful alternatives that may surprise you.
Is a colour analysis consultation the same as a style consultation?
Colour consultation is the perfect starting point in a style journey and for some people it is enough to make them feel empowered and confident to move forward. We also offer a fantastic body shape analysis that helps you work out which shapes and proportions work for you. Wardrobe audit and personal shopping often follow the colour consultation and body shape analysis. The four services complete the full personal style package
