What Is Color Analysis? Lancaster, PA Expert Kate Stoltzfus Explains

aired; November 13, 2026 Why do some colors seem to complement us better than others? That s the idea behind color analysis, a process that looks at your natural features to determine which colors work best with your skin tone, hair and eyes. For a recent feature on The Spark, Asia Tabb visited color analyst Kate Stoltzfus at her home studio in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to learn more about the process and discover her own color season. Using a series of colored drapes, Kate compared different shades against Asia s natural coloring. After working through the palettes, they landed on True Winter, which includes cool tones, bold shades and high contrast. From there, the two headed to the makeup counter to see how the True Winter palette translated into makeup choices. While the color season wasn t a surprise to Asia, testing the makeup brought some unexpected discoveries.
