Color
consults
Educational Foundation: Twelve years of experience in color analysis, combined with a fine arts degree and extensive and continual professional training in Personal Color Analysis (PCA).Advanced Tools: Utilizes over 600 colors and fabric swatches, integrating advanced color theory to precisely identify hues, color families and palettes.
Thorough Categorization: Rather than letting the drapes decide, I am able to identify the precise hues in an individual’s skin, hair and eye. From here, I evaluate the color temperature, value, and saturation. You can be all warm, all cool, all neutral or any combination of these three. It is possible to be warm, cool and neutral-in which case it is important to find specific hues that embrace all three. You may look great in both gold and silver. Conversely- you may not do well in either. Accurate color analysis is more than just looking younger, or avoiding the ‘washed out’ look; it’s about applying color theory to find your familiy and the specific hues in your family that will reflect and highlight your natural beauty.
Personalized Approach: Within your season or family, colors are tailored to the individual, rather than using a preset palette. Even if you are more straightforward -your palette should be unique to you!
professional background
Standard Seasonal color Analysis
Integrated Expertise: Merges the popular method of seasonal color analysis with a deep professional understanding, offering an affordable yet thorough introduction to personal color analysis. I use my color lab for all color consults.
Beyond Basic Categorization: Provides a detailed analysis that goes beyond simple seasonal labels to clarify your specific color qualities, where you land within the seasonal flow system as well as identifies specific hues.
Insight: Equips you with the knowledge and confidence to identify and embrace your unique season and any applicable subseasons.
Practical Application: Teaches you how to utilize these insights and tools in your wardrobe right away. Learn how your palette is unique to you! For example, a silver haired winter will have different color ranges compared to a chesnut haired winter. A spring with jet black hair and caramel skin will have a different palette than a blonde haired spring with golden undertoned skin. Even two people both typed as ‘warm spring’ will have unique variations in their palettes.
Seasonal color analysis and custom fabric palette
Foundational Method: analysis facilitated by a certified color lab, implementing advanced tools for a more nuanced approach.
Sophisticated Resources: The comprehensive hue range includes hundreds of industry-sourced fabrics, covering not only the full spectrum of human coloring but offers a more in depth and precise analysis with fabric swatches that offer precise color matches as well as comprehensive color options for each palette.
Elevating Standard Methods: Transcends ordinary color analysis techniques with a more precise and custom-focused approach.
Seasonal Customization: Beyond preset palettes, there are multiple hue options for each season and subseason that incorporate your ideal light and dark neutrals, reds, whites, metals, high and low saturated (or subdued) colors, makeup and nail color options.
Fabric Swatch Palettes:Constructed from industry-sourced fabrics, these palettes offer an authentic representation of colors, which facilitates precise and easy color matching. Unlike paper prints or plastic cards, fabric swatches reflect true-to-life hues, ensuring the colors you choose for your wardrobe and makeup are accurately matched and consistently applied.

“All of my friends noticed a difference in me immediately although they could never put their finger on what had changed. Several people asked me if I had changed my hair, which I had not. I even had a complete stranger tell me how beautiful I looked and how much she liked my hair. I know without doubt that Kathryn's assessment of what colors worked best for me were spot on.”
