I have been reading up on “colors” lately.  That is, what groups of colors go together in “palettes” to best suit individuals with various types of coloring.  I’ve been somewhat familiar with this concept for years, but never given it sufficient thought to figure out what “season” I am.  As I’ve begun reading, analyzing, etc., I’ve decided it’s no wonder I never did this before; I’m not sure I fall easily into a category, so I’m having trouble “placing” myself properly.

Interestingly enough, researchers discovered many, many years ago that most people are drawn to those colors in which they look best.  So if, for instance, you were designing birth announcements for your newest addition (and weren’t just going with traditional blue or pink), you would be very likely to choose a color scheme that you would look good wearing.  So your preferences can sometimes be a helpful indicator of what colors are best on you.  Unfortunately, conditioning can override this, especially if your parents have very different coloring than yours.

Do you any of you already know “your colors”?  Was it difficult for you to identify them?  How has it helped you?
