How should you put your colours together? Can you wear black and white? Can you wear only an accent of colour or should you always wear two colours. Should prints blend or contrast? This blog answers these questions for each season tone from the high value contrast winter seasons to the high colour contrast spring seasons.
Contrast is a very important part of colour analysis. The last post discussed COLOUR CONTRAST, this one discusses VALUE CONTRAST. VALUE CONTRAST is the difference between your darkest and lightest values. I show you how I analyse my VALUE CONTRAST and how to analyse your own. There are examples of low, medium and high value contrast women.

Here Jim discovers charcoal and navy with shirts and ties in light blue, ice pink and white make him look more energised and youthful than his previous black suits and white shirts.
This post starts a series of Soft Summer blogs that take the palette and look at how it is created and how it can be used according to the unique features of each person. In this opening post, I look at four different clients of which one is typical and the other three have unique features.
