Which colour analysis methods are available in Wellington?

Wellington colour analysis currently splits between 12-season studio work, Lower Hutt seasonal studio analysis, and at-home draping connected to personal styling. Compare the handoff before comparing price.

A studio session with a digital palette is a different product from an at-home consultation that includes wardrobe review or leads into shopping support.

12-season studio and at-home analysis

Charlotte Porter Colours publishes 12-season analysis from Image Innovators Australia training, with a Khandallah studio option and travelling sessions that add wardrobe and makeup review.

Lower Hutt seasonal studio analysis

Colors by Shiv publishes undertone, intensity, seasonal palette, and subgroup examination from a Lower Hutt home studio, with digital palette deliverables and an optional colour fan.

At-home colour plus styling

Caroline Carpenter connects at-home colour draping with wardrobe, shopping, capsule, and virtual styling services. This fits clients who want the colour result to feed straight into clothing decisions.

What is the best-value colour analysis in Wellington?

The best value depends on whether you want a studio palette, an at-home wardrobe review, or colour advice that feeds into shopping and styling. Wellington has enough variation that price alone is a weak shortcut.

Lowest published one-person studio price

Colors by Shiv publishes the lowest sourced one-person studio price at NZD $225 for 90 minutes in Lower Hutt.

Studio versus at-home trade-off

Charlotte Porter Colours publishes NZD $230 for studio analysis without wardrobe review, and NZD $280 for at-home analysis with wardrobe and makeup review.

Colour plus styling path

Caroline Carpenter publishes NZD $340 for at-home colour consultation and can connect that result to hourly wardrobe and shopping work at NZD $140 per hour.

Break-even math

A NZD $225 session pays for itself if it prevents two wrong purchases at about NZD $115 each.

Where should I book a colour analysis in Wellington?

Khandallah

When Wellington colour analysis is not the right booking

You only want a free season label and will not use the result for shopping, makeup, hair colour, or wardrobe editing.

You need a public street address before booking. Both Wellington studio listings are private home studios with addresses shared after confirmation.

You are choosing only by the lowest published number. A NZD $225 Lower Hutt studio session, a NZD $280 at-home wardrobe review, and a NZD $340 styling-led colour consultation are different products.

You need group pricing only. Couple, group, mother-daughter, and corporate rates exist, but the city range on this page tracks one-person women's colour analysis.
