What Color can do for you!
Color affects the way you look, feel, and act.
All colors come from three primary colors; red, blue and yellow. Using color in painting walls, canvas, or hair follows the same law of
color.
The Law of Color is a system for understanding color. The three primary colors when mixed will always give you the same result from
the same combination. Using equal amounts of two of the three primary colors will give you secondary colors; orange, violet, green.
These underlying colors are found in the hair, eyes and skin. FYI- Color reflects color, color will also cancel out or tone down color.
There are two classifications of colors:
1. Cool colors have a touch of blue in them.
2. Warm colors have a touch of yellow or red in them.
Nature has given each person a coloring that we are able to compare with one of the four seasons.
Spring and Autumn are considered the warm seasons.
The spring person looks best in clear, warm colors with a feeling of brightness, freshness, and clarity.
The autumn person should wear rich warm earthen colors with gold.
Summer and Winter are considered the cool seasons.
The summer person looks best in cool soft muted colors an tints of sea and sky tones.
The winter person shines in vivid primary colors, cool, icy tones and sharp contrasting black and white.
Most people pick color by instinct and habit. Many times you will find your instincts to be correct.
It is important when choosing fashion accessories to pay attention to the colors you are choosing you want to look your best and
highlight your best points. Gold tones go best with warm tones and silver, white gold, platinum goes best with cool tones.
Hair color can play an important part in enhancing your features. There are hair colors you can choose according to what "color
season" you are- these colors can make a positive color change for you. Your stylist can play an important part in helping you
choose the right ones. We carry the It&ly Hairfashion Color Line. We feel these are rich superior lines and when new shades

Makeup is another way in which color can enhance your positive attributes. For example, the spring and autumn person has more
yellowish undertone to the skin, while the summer or winter person has more underlying blue tones. Some of my clients have been
amazed at the difference the right color can make in their appearance.
Remember, color plays an important part in how you look. It is well work the time to step back and think about what colors are right
for you.
