About Me + The Academy

I’m Lora Alexander, founder of Color Allure, creator of the ColorBreeze™ system, and the trainer behind ColorAnalysis.Academy. For more than three decades, I’ve studied, tested, and refined the practice of personal color analysis—always with one goal in mind: accuracy.

Over the years, I’ve seen color analysis shift from a niche passion into a booming online trend. While the popularity is exciting, it’s also created a problem: inconsistent, confusing, and sometimes flat-out wrong results. Too often, people walk away discouraged, feeling misdiagnosed. That’s why I built this academy—to offer training rooted in common sense, real experience, and a system that goes deeper than the surface.

My Approach

Color analysis isn’t just about holding up swatches or following a script. It’s about understanding undertones, nuance, and the subtle ways color interacts with an individual’s natural features. I developed the ColorBreeze™ 28-season system because I wanted to expand beyond the traditional four or twelve categories and create a more inclusive, precise framework. It’s now one of the most advanced systems available, giving analysts and clients alike a clearer, more reliable path to their best colors.

Why Training Matters

When you train with me, you’re not just memorizing theory—you’re learning a process that’s been tested with thousands of clients. My courses build step by step, from the foundational four seasons to the twelve, and finally to the complete ColorBreeze™ system. The goal is to give you both knowledge and confidence, so you can bring clarity to your own clients without second-guessing.

Proven Results

I’ve received countless testimonials from people who felt transformed after their analysis—clients who finally understood why certain colors made them glow while others drained them. You’ll be able to read many of those stories on my Testimonials Page, and they represent exactly why accurate training matters.

Looking Ahead

Color analysis is more than a trend—it’s a tool for self-expression, confidence, and professionalism. Through ColorAnalysis.Academy, my mission is to equip future analysts with the skills and insight to do this work well.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Over the years I’ve been asked a lot of questions about my background and my approach to color analysis. Here are a few of the most common ones:

What are your credentials and background?

I was initially certified with Color Me Beautiful in both the 4- and 12-season systems and have also studied additional advanced methods. Over time, I developed my own refined 28-season ColorBreeze™ system to bring more accuracy and inclusivity to the field. My background includes work as an esthetician, illustrator, and makeup artist—all of which add to my eye for color and detail. To date, I’ve analyzed more than 9,000 clients worldwide.

Why did you create your own system?

While the traditional systems are valuable, I found they often left people misdiagnosed or feeling like they didn’t quite “fit” anywhere. By refining and expanding into 28 nuanced sub-seasons, I created a framework that recognizes the diversity of real people and allows for more consistent, believable results. Accuracy has always been my #1 goal.

If you have your advanced System, why are you offering training in just the 12 Seasons?

Excellent question. There are a couple of reasons I offer both the 12-seasons (currently), and the advanced 28-seasons (coming soon). First, most color analysts working today use the 12-season system. Some pretty big-named color systems even offer only 4 seasons! But even with the basic (4) and intermediate (12) systems, many analysts are simply getting clients wrong. An analyst should know the difference between a Warm Autumn and a Cool Summer. I have literally had clients who were told they were a Cool Summer when I saw only Warm Autumn, and other similar this-should-be-an-easy-one type of scenarios. The 12-seasons must be understood fully before anyone can really understand and use the more advanced systems.

And lastly, for those who want to master my ColorBreeze™ system, it contains many of the same seasons that are in the 12 seasons, such as Light Spring, Deep Winter, etc. It must be understood well before trying to learn advanced training.

How is your training different from others?

I can't speak for too many other systems since I have not personally taken all of them, but I can say my approach is structured, comprehensive, and grounded in common sense. I don’t just show you what to look for—I explain why it matters, and how to avoid mistakes. I am not sure if other training programs test their students well, but I have created tests that will demonstrate they understand the seasons and the theories behind common-sense color analysis. My aim is to provide training that will set my students apart in a crowded field where inconsistent results are common.
