There’s a reason why, when watching The Undoing—the HBO series starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant—you feel that everything around you, from the interiors to the clothes and lighting, is aesthetically flawless and deeply coherent. It’s not just a matter of budget or direction. It’s Color Analysis, applied masterfully.
Color Analysis is a discipline that studies which color palettes best enhance our skin tone, hair, eyes, but also our energy and presence. There are different methods (the Four Seasons system, twelve subgroups, digital tools like MyColorAnalysis.ai), but the principle remains the same: the colors surrounding us influence our perception, mood, and the way others see us. It’s not just fashion—it’s visual communication.
In The Undoing, this rule was applied not only to the costumes but to the entire set design. Nicole Kidman—who naturally fits the “Deep Soft Autumn” palette—wears tones of moss green, burgundy, amber, and copper. Each outfit seems to “disappear” into her, allowing her to glow. But the true brilliance lies in the fact that the interiors—the walls, the furniture, even the paintings—are designed to complement this same palette. The result is a visual narrative that’s both subtle and striking.
What began as a styling tool to enhance the actor’s presence becomes an extraordinary interpretive lens for interior design and for how we live in our homes every day. Choosing the right colors for our spaces, according to our personal color harmony, helps us feel better. An olive green wall can make us look dull or radiant. A taupe sofa can either flatten our complexion or enhance it—depending on who we are.
Color Analysis is not just an aesthetic exercise: it’s a tool for well-being.
Viewing the home as an extension of our visual identity is also one of the core principles of bioarchitecture. The colors we absorb daily influence our energy, focus, and rest. It’s no surprise that today, designers, architects, and style consultants are incorporating Color Analysis into interior design. It’s one of the most refined—yet accessible—trends in the new conscious way of living.
The Undoing isn’t just an elegant and unsettling series: it’s a visual essay on how color can become a silent and powerful language. And Nicole Kidman, in her velvet burgundy coat that glides effortlessly through every scene, shows us exactly how.
It’s time we, too, start living—and dwelling—within our right palette. At Raremood, as bioclimatic architects, we do it in every one of our projects. Write to assistance@raremood.it we’ll do it for you too.
