Color analysis (American English; colour analysis in Commonwealth English), also known as personal color analysis (PCA), seasonal color analysis, or skin-tone matching, is a term often used within the cosmetics and fashion industry to describe a method of determining the colors of clothing and cosmetics that harmonize with the appearance of a person's skin complexion, eye color, and hair color for use in wardrobe planning and style consulting.^[1]

The theory was first developed by Bernice Kentner and Carole Jackson.
