Kate Middleton's Colour Analysis - What Colours Make Her Glow

Today, the heroine of our blog post is a truly royal lady — and we’re not just talking about her title, but also about the colours that perfectly complement her unique deep complexion: Kate Middleton.

At Zazu Feu, we use our own colour analysis system based on six flowers, and in this system Kate Middleton is a Hellebore.

But what does that actually mean?

It means that the first thing you notice in her complexion is how deep her natural colouring is. Her undertone is slightly on the cool side, which allows her to wear deep, cool colours with ease and glow in them effortlessly. Whether it’s the emerald green or cool-tone burgundy, Kate always looks Queen-like (check our slides further below).

By the way, At Zazu Feu, we make discovering your natural colouring simple and accessible. Start with our free colour quiz, designed to give you a clear idea of your likely colour type in just a few minutes. For more detailed insights, our £10 colour type guide includes personalised suggestions and tips.

If you want even more detail, we offer three levels of online colour analysis services. Each service includes a full colour guide so you can confidently build a wardrobe, choose makeup, and style yourself for any occasion — all without leaving home.

Kate Middleton looks beautiful in deep, slightly cool-toned colours — think sapphire, emerald, and ruby shades. As Hellebore is the “darkest” Colour Flower in our system, black looks incredibly chic and elegant on Kate. She can easily wear black close to her face, including hats and other head accessories, without it ever overwhelming her or making her features look harsh.

Her natural colouring is also relatively soft, which is why she doesn’t need highly saturated shades. In her case, complex, deep, softened colours — such as cool burgundy — enhance her beauty best by smoothing the appearance of her skin and bringing out the colour of her eyes.
