Experience as an apprentice or intern is highly recommended. Contact color analysts in your area to see if they offer formal or informal apprenticeships.
A career as a color analyst is a great option for those who like to work with and help other people. An interest in fashion and style are also obviously very helpful. A general flair for art and design would prove useful. Analysts should be friendly, outgoing, supportive of others, able to offer constructive feedback, and open to change. Color analysts must be mature, poised, and professional to have credibility. To run a successful business, color analysts must have basic business and financial management skills, as well as the ability to effectively market their services.
