[Your Color Style] Warm, Cool and Universal Colors Explained and more...
Published: Sun, 08/04/19
Happy Sunday!
I hope you're having an amazing week. I spent the majority of this week in design mode for the color fans. I surveyed you this week asking your opinion on my ideas. I love hearing what you have to say. It really helps me understand what you really want or need.
Here's what I heard (summarized):
You like the proposed new smaller size for the color fans ( 2" x 3.5") which is half the size of the current color fans.
I had mentioned about 25 colors and it is clear that you want more colors. So, how about 40 personally selected colors + 6 neutrals that are designed to be just right for your specific color type? That means there will be 12 color fans instead of the 4
You also told me that you love seeing ALL the colors, so that you know which colors maybe to avoid. Many of you like the current color fans for that reason.
So, here's where I'm at, so far, with the new color fan offerings:
12 color type specific color fans
Each new fan will be 2" x 3.5" with each page a full color.
Each new fan will have @46 colors (including neutrals) that are just right for your color type
I will offer these color fans at an affordable price point
I'm also looking into including a drawstring bag to hold and protect your color fan.
The current larger color fans are STILL available until we run out. In their place will be two color fans. One fan that has the entire bright color palette. And another fan that has the entire soft color palette.
Why? The concept of having colors in front of you that you should avoid is interesting and definitely lacking in most color products. If you had a fan that had all of the colors and you could see that a sweater matches closer to a color strip that's not in your color palette, you know with more confidence that that color won't flatter you best.
If you want your color palette in your hand, these will be your best options:
Color Type Specific Color Fan - easy to shop with, helpful tool in identifying the right colors for you
Larger Full Color Color Fan - incredible tool for wardrobe editing, easily identify the colors you should avoid or may not be your best
What do you think? If you want to share your opinions with me, please take this 2 question survey. Your feedback is what helps me design products and programs that you're looking for. Take this 1 minute survey and share with me your thoughts.
Thanks for reading. Let's get on with the newsletter! This week, I focus on color theory, which I hope you enjoy.
I created three videos for you this week. Each dives deep into color theory to explain the concepts of warm colors, cool colors and universal colors. We get so caught up with the concepts of warm and cool... will this color look good on me... maybe I can't wear that color because it's cool and I'm warm... who can wear that color... and so on.
I hope that these three videos help to remove some of the stress of what a color is and to help you understand if this color will look good on you.

HOW you wear a signature set of colors that LOVE you
as much as you love them.
A few years ago, I found myself divorced, grieving over losing my oldest daughter and truly lost. I had forgotten what it was like to have true joy in my life. Did I ever really know? I didn't know who I was or what truly made me happy.
As I went through the process of learning about myself, I founded Your Color Style. Identifying the colors that make you feel amazing is a simple step you can take to build your confidence. Color transformed my life. It is now my mission to help you get through whatever transition is going on in your life through color.
Rediscover:
Who you are
What truly brings you joy
Who you really want to be and to own it
How to stop being a certain way for someone else
Be more of your kick ass self that you already are
Where do you start?
LEARN What Colors Flatter You (aka Your Color Style Type)
I am a HUGE believer that the more you know about color, the more you know the colors that flatter you best. LEARNING is key to understanding what colors really work for you.
Once you know your color type, you'll want your complete color palette in your hand so that you can start to edit your wardrobe and shop with confidence.
