When you shop...
- Focus on colours that are pastel, like Impressionist paintings, to medium dark, like in a wildflower meadow. They should look like rainbow tones with a touch of sunshine.
- Don't invest in colours that are dark, sharp, earthy, heavy, or intense next to your palette.
- Know that your black is drainpipe gray. Picture the difference between it and pure pitch black.
- You have many medium colours with darkness limits around deep rose and spruce green. Use your entire palette to aim for an overall darkness level of light to medium-dark.
- Look for grays that remind you of feather, pink sand, rose brown, pebbles, and gray chickadees.
- Find your white in low fat (1%) milk.
- Your lightest colours are pastels (you remember colours from your PCA that were icy, not pastel, and learned how to tell the difference)
- Use the technique demonstrated by your colour analyst for checking colour warmth/coolness (hue). Your temperature level is cool-neutral. Every colour is selected for that amount of coolness. Getting the colour temperature right is key for good results, and hard to 'guesstimate' without comparing to a fan.
