In my two previous posts, I shared with you about the elements of Color that you need to consider when determining which ones are your best. Remember the first two elements? Hue (Warm/Cool) and Value (Light/Dark). The third and final element is Chroma.
Chroma refers to the saturation of a color – Clear or Muted. Clear Colors have higher intensity (brighter) while Muted Colors have a lower intensity (softer). In the image above you’ll see a succession of Pink colors ranging from Clear to Muted. It’s important for you to know which point on the scale looks best on you.
Remember my most important principle? ALWAYS work in HARMONY with your body, your physicality, your coloring, your shape – never in opposition to it. So when we apply that principle to Chroma, we look at your hair, skin and eye colors to determine whether your coloring looks more clear (bright) or more muted (soft) and we match what you wear in your clothing and makeup to what we see in your physicality.
Seems simple, right? But sometimes it’s hard to figure it out; we frequently see ourselves through filters that don’t always reflect what others see (a topic for another post at another time). A professional color analysis will give you the confidence you need to make your very best color choices.
