Does anybody here know about HoC? I had an analysis done last year and marked some of my colours with abbreviations, which I now don't remember the significance of. I have
BTB - better than black
Wow - wow colours
A - ?
D - ?
I am an autumn, if that's at all relevant.

Bump.

A - autumn?
D - deep?

No idea really but at least it's a reply.

JudgementalCat · 05/03/2026 19:32

They're all autumn - but thanks!

Awful and disgusting?

Jackreacherstrousers · 05/03/2026 19:37

A according to chatCPT:
A
A = Acceptable
These colours:
Work reasonably well
Don’t clash with you
But aren’t as flattering as your best colours
They’re fine for:
Trousers
Skirts
Accessories
Casual wear
D
D = Draining (or Difficult)
These colours tend to:
Make skin look dull or grey
Emphasise dark circles or lines
Reduce facial contrast
They’re usually best avoided near the face, but can still work as:
Shoes
Bags
Trousers
Prints mixed with better colours

Accent and Dominant?

Heartbreaksally · 05/03/2026 19:39

Accent and denim

JudgementalCat · 05/03/2026 20:06

I think A is probably Accent, not sure about D. Possibly denim, definitely not draining.
Maybe I should just email my consultant.

I checked my booklet, my consultant definitely put d for my best denim colours

JudgementalCat · 05/03/2026 21:03

Thanks @Heartbreaksally , that makes sense with the colours I've marked.

Your consultant will be able to clarify for you OP.

tobee · 07/03/2026 16:15

Yes email them! When I had it done about 3/4 years ago it was a different system - a star system and % of your body so the consultant will be more reliable.
