Why your Best Colours will Harmonise with your Personality

DID YOU know that your colour season is so much more than the colours that look best on you, and make you glow the most?

The colour seasons are linked to personality types too - something that dates back to the Ancient Greeks, by way of 20th century colour psychologists like Carl Jung and Angela Wright.

As a colour stylist, once I’ve established your colour season, I will also be able to decipher what your personality type is. And this focus on personality invariably makes up a part of your colour analysis session with me.

When colours reflect your personality

Of course there are a mix of personality types, just as there are seasons - and the mixes are very often reflected in your sub-season (basically when the season comes up against another season and is influenced by it) and so your best colours will often reflect this sub-season variability in terms of your personality as well as your looks.

One of my recent clients - upon finding out she was a Spring season, and learning that Spring is a personality type that is predominantly light in personality and joyful and spontaneous - asked me to help her get rid of any clothes that made her feel less than light and joyful and spontaneous - she embraced the whimsical and expressive part of her personality that she had been hiding for many years under the wrong fabrics and dark colours.

The clothing items she has kept - and any new ones she has bought to fit her new season - reflect this side of her completely, and make her feel that she is expressing herself on a daily basis without any effort.

And this is a significant part of the colour analysis process and realising your colour Season - that you begin to express yourself and your personality more fully. Many clients feel such a shift in identity after colour analysis that it can herald a new era of dressing and being, and is so much more than just introducing hints of colour into your wardrobe.

Colourfully,
