Color Analysis for Boutiques and Fashion Retailers

Help customers find what suits them, and they buy more of it.

How it works

Your staff can run it in a couple of minutes

Any team member can follow the Hathaura Method on the shop floor. The same steps give the same season, whoever runs it. See all 12 seasons and their palettes →

Merchandise by season

Group a rail or table by season and customers find their colors at a glance. It also shows you which seasons your stock leaves out, so you can buy for the customers you actually have.

After a color night, every guest leaves with a report and a reason to return when the next season’s stock arrives.
