My color journey
I’m so excited to share my journey into color analysis with you—thanks for stopping by! My love for color started way back at the New York School of Interior Design, where I got my first real taste of how color can change everything. A.H. Munsell, the mastermind behind the color wheel, managed to combine art and science in a way that just clicked with me. Looking back, I realize that color has always been a central part of my design work. Sure, rooms can be inspired by all sorts of elements, but for me, it’s always been about the harmony of colors. Fast forward 20 years and over 1,000 housecall clients later, I’m still obsessed with creating spaces that speak to my clients’ personal style. And now, I’ve added personal color analysis to the mix!
The color analysis journey began when my aesthetician shared her rave review of her Personal Color Analysis. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and I thought, “Why not?” At first, it sounded a bit mystical, but I was curious to see what all the buzz was about. It was like magic, but real. I knew right then that this was something I had to offer. Seriously, why didn’t I discover this sooner? It could’ve saved me from a few unfortunate fashion decisions, though I did still manage to snag “Best Dressed” in high school—thank you very much!
At first, I considered jumping right into a franchise because I was so ready to get started, but I wanted to really understand the different systems first. I looked into the 4, 12, and 16 season models, watched endless tutorials, and soaked it all in. In the end, the 12-seasonal tones SciART model felt the most accurate and solid. Plus, I feel it’s crucial to have an in-person analysis; virtual attempts yielded results for me that were the complete opposite of my in-person findings, with most colors making me look pretty dreadful. You simply cannot see how the skin reacts in a virtual situation.
I had the honor of training with Terry Wildfong, an industry pro with 40 years of experience. Terry was trained by Kathryn Kalisz, who developed the SciART 12-tone system, which is the gold standard in color analysis. Kalisz’s approach was all about color harmony and its effects on health and well-being. Though we sadly lost her in 2010, her legacy continues to inspire, and I’m proud to carry on her work with the respect and gratitude it deserves.
When it comes to finding the right color analyst, I always recommend doing your homework. There are a lot of approaches out there, but it’s essential to understand the difference. If you’re getting your colors analyzed from a photo, whether it’s by a person or a computer program, they’re basing their decisions on your overtone. But here’s the thing—you need to analyze the undertone to accurately determine your season.

Testimonials
Jeffrey’s career in interior design has given him a wealth of experience in color harmony along with a good understanding of hue, value, and chroma which is needed for personal color analysis. He can also create the perfect color palettes for his clients and guide them in incorporating these colors into their home décor, should they wish. Great idea. Jeffrey’s great sense of humor can put clients at ease which helps make their color experience fun and educational.
Discovering my true colors was a game changer. This month, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jeffrey Seyller, the talent behind The Seasoned Gent. Jeffrey offers Personal Color Analysis using the Sci/ART 12-Tone Seasonal System. This method identifies your unique undertone and matches it to one of the 12 seasonal tones. The process was amazing and knowing my “true colors” has turned the overwhelming task of choosing clothing into an effortless (and surprisingly fun) process. It’s not just about clothes, though. This knowledge extends to makeup, accessories, and even professional photos. Every element of your look benefits when it aligns with your undertone.
Finally, a man that gets me..!!
I cannot count the ways I loved working with Jeffrey. I was made to feel like a co-designer. YET, he made it quite clear when he didn’t agree with something or thought it was wrong. I appreciate his decisiveness. My husband also worked with Jeffrey on his corporate office and it was very clear to him how knowledgeable he was and appreciated his directness. We never once doubted his professional opinion or his honesty. However, the best part was his sense of humor. I had a blast working with him.
He’s the Nate Berkus of Hampton Roads..!!
This was truly an amazing experience – I did something so cool the other day. I found what season I am in so now I know the best colors for me to wear. I highly recommend The Seasoned Gent if you want to find out what colors work best for you. Jeffrey even told me what makeup colors compliment my skin as well as hair colors!! I had SO much fun. Thank you again for this experience
It’s been a genuine privilege to work with clients in my studio! The most rewarding part of each color consultation is the magical moment at the end when I see them in their perfect colors. Watching their faces light up – radiant and confident – is always the highlight of the experience!
