Meet the Analyst

Hi there! I’m Laura, the owner and Certified Personal Color Analyst behind Color 12.

I grew up in a small town in Central Minnesota, which is where I’m currently based. After graduating from NDSU, I headed to South Carolina—and that’s where I decided to pursue my passion for becoming a Color Analyst!

Discovering the TCI method of Personal Color Analysis has been transformative for me! I was originally analyzed in the four-season method, and I felt as though something was missing. As it turns out, I’m not a Winter—I’m a Dark Autumn, and finally landing in the right palette just felt right. It gave me a new sense of confidence and empowered me to express myself more boldly and authentically. I’ve come to believe that the way we dress goes far beyond just fabric—it’s a powerful reflection of who we are and the dignity we carry. Each of us is created in natural, perfect harmony, and the colors that harmonize with us are a beautiful part of that divine design.

Personal Color Analysis is the process of discovering the colors that harmonize with your true, natural self.

At Color 12, we use the precise 12-Tone TCI Method, grounded in the science of natural color harmony and an accurate interpretation of the Munsell color system.

We use a neutral backdrop, full spectrum lighting, and calibrated drapes to ensure accurate results.

Throughout the analysis, we search for the versions of hue, value, and chroma that harmonize with your natural coloring.

You leave the analysis with 65+ colors that guide your choices with clothing, makeup, and more!
