The Magic of Colours

What is the first thing people notice about us when they first meet us? Psychologists have determined that its all about the colour you’re wearing. Doesn’t it make sense then that we wear colours that make us look our best?

Wearing our best range of colours makes us look healthier, younger, more vibrant and more energetic.  Wearing colours which do not suit us make us look tired and older than we are.

Many people are scared to get their colour analysis done because they think they’ll be told they cannot wear colours they really like. In fact everyone can wear most colours; it’s the tint, tone or shade of that colour that needs to be carefully chosen.

The colours you wear send a message, whether you are aware of it or not. When you walk into a room and it’s painted an icy blue colour, don’t you automatically feel cold? Take for example a lady who wears a vibrant red suit – people assume she is very confident, outgoing and even exciting. That is because the red colour sends a message. If this same lady was wearing a navy suit, she would send a very different message.

Of equal importance as colour is the level of contrast you wear. Low contrast combinations should never be used when you want to command respect or grab attention. But low contrast dressing is very elegant.
