Your color

The wrong colors can make you look older, heavier, tired and even ill (of course you could use this to your advantage if you wanted to take a sickie!). The wrong colors also often wear you, so that people see your clothes before they see you (a friend might say “that color shirt is great ).Not only do the correct colors for you make you look healthier, younger, slimmer and brighter.

Now your friends say you look great .

Colors also affects our mood and emotions, our perceived body shape and the overall impression we make on others.

So why would you wear anything other than the colors that suit you best?

Colors

Understanding a few characteristics of colors will help you understand your own colors and help you make more informed colors choices when you buy clothes.

Attributes of colors include i t

  • Hue :  this is the name of the color
  • Temperature : a color can be perceived as cool, warm or neutral. Yellow based colors are perceived as warm, while blue based colors are perceived as cool. Pure colors are neutral—that is neither cool nor warm
  • Value : a color can be described as light, medium-light, medium, medium-dark, dark
  • Intensity : whether the color appears clear or muted

Color Analysis Season

color analysis season categorizes people into one of four categories: Winter, Summer, Autumn and Spring. The categories are named after the seasons and the colors found together in nature to help you remember the range of colors they include. Your seasonal color range will complement the coloring of your skin, hair and eyes .

Your main seasonal color has these attributes and so do clothing colors. When you know your flow season, to determine if an item of clothing is the correct color for you look for colors with attributes that most closely match your seasonal colors  attributes. Keeping this in mind helps if you’ve forgotten your swatch or the exact color isn’t in your swatch.

Seasonal-color-analysis-winter

color analysis Winter are cool, clear and dark to light intensity. Think of the winter landscape colors. In the low light of winter colors appear darker, but on a bright day with the sun reflecting off snow colors appear pale and icy.

Seasonal-color-analysis-summer

color analysis Summerare also cool, but muted and medium-light to medium-dark intensity. Think of seeing the landscape through a summer heat haze. The colors are muted, paler versions of Winters. The light colors are creamy pastel rather than icy.

Seasonal-color-analysis-autumn

color analysis Autumn are warm, muted and medium-light to medium-dark intensity. Think of fall New England landscape colors of rich burnt oranges, reds, golden yellows and sludgy greens.
