Originally, customers were either categorised as spring, summer, autumn or winter, but in Europe and the Middle East, six new themes have been developed: light, deep, warm, soft, clear and cool, with 42 possible palettes, when sub-divisions are taken into account.
The new theory (based on the Munsell colour system) hinges on the idea that as well as suiting different shades, people need varying levels of brightness, or contrast, to look their best.
