When you shop...
- Dark Autumn colours might fit into a Moroccan interior design or a spice market.
- Don't invest in colours that have a pastel or jellybean feeling next to your palette.
- Focus on colours that are colourful and earthy, even fiery. Shine is optional.
- Your light choices start around medium in darkness, in sunflower, marigold, and rust. You have many medium and dark colours. Use your entire palette to aim for an overall darkness level of medium-dark to very dark.
- Look for grays that remind you of greige, warm slate, burnished pewter, bronzed gray, and matte charcoal.
- Know that your black is espresso black.
- Find your white in candlelight white, a darker white warmed with traces of gold and red.
- Know that your lightest colours are fairly dark, as if sponged with coffee, like valuable parchments (you remember colours from your PCA that were light and clear and learned how to tell the difference).
- Use the technique demonstrated by your colour analyst for checking colour warmth/coolness (hue). Your warmth level is warm-neutral. Every colour is selected for that amount of warmth. Getting the colour temperature right is key for good results – it's hard to 'guesstimate' without comparing to a fan.
