When you shop...
- Yours are the gently glowing colours of sky, sea, sand, forest, and earth in the afternoon sun.
- Don't invest in colours that are bold, intense, candy, watery, or misty, like rainbows.
- Focus on soft, warm colours that belong with butterscotch, avocado, and mulled wine. They may look soft next to bright colours in the store but when you wear them, they are colourful and energized.
- Be flexible about lightness or darkness of individual items, aiming for an overall light-medium to medium-dark level.
- Know that your black is burnt hickory and sepia brown.
- Look for grays that that look a bit khaki, such as lichen, mushroom, wood ash, gray suede, and impala, or those that are slightly brown, like walnut wood and gray owls.
- Find your white in rice cake and eggshell.
- Your lightest colours are soft and light, like pastels with a tan. Your powder pink is coral rose, your mint is willow or light aloe.
- 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, and hard to 'guesstimate' without comparing to a fan.
