originally posted 4/9/14

In her book, A Rainbow in Your Eyes, Bernice Kenter describes the positives and negatives of being a color analyst in the different seasons.

Spring Positives wonderful friendliness makes them a natural for human approach delight in finding season of their client  great interest in people make clients feel very special not afraid of color a curiosity to be satisfied	Examples Taylore B. Sinclaire IlluminEssence also Naomi Donner Anne Sagendorph-Moon	Spring negatives trouble focusing, easily swayed may become bored by repetition love their own palette so much, may have trouble seeing changes in complexion of clients poor job keeping business efficient
Summer Positives detail oriented leads to doing analysis correctly often have sewing skills that help them advise about fashion lines and styles detail oriented leads to understanding details of figure and face softness of appearance and personality draws others too them color analysis business that may grow out of a hobby	Examples	Summer negatives conservative personal use of color can limit recommendations for others, as well as makeup application great need for things to be proper and in good taste, may forget that being bright is in good taste for a Winter for instance may tend to code Springs as Autumns, in favor of that seasons properness over Springs gaeity
Autumn Positives most determined to make a successful business no fear in approaching others involves others in advertising for them well organized and efficient lots of body energy, so less drained by providing the service do not let others push them around, can handle hecklers	Examples Carol Tuttle DYT also Kay Smith David Zyla	Autumn negatives personalities are sometimes negative, as easily irritated by people asking endless questions may be too sharp or even rude if not careful can do poorly in personal relations may be inclined to give others earth tones least likely to be open to other people's palettes love their own makeup colors so much, they may put them on other seasons
Winter Positives analytical nature is objective dramatic appearance is admired natural poise is impressive sensitive nature is caring perfectionism leads to accuracy color analysis is for the good of others	Examples Bernice Kentner CMAS also: Jennifer Butler Christine Scaman John Kitchener Fran Muntz Jane Segerstrom	Winter negatives reserved nature reduces follow up with clients difficult time charging friends want people to like them too much doesn't want to impose on others may apply makeup too dramatically on other seasons (or might be too conservative)

Our Zyla Colors (updated)

I don't know what got me interested in dinking around with this subject again... but I'm frustrated so far with my first attempt at determining my Zyla Colors.  However, you do see my dilemma which is I'm very type 2 with so much grey, and then my romantic dramatic colors are a bit clearer.  But I'm going to try to have my husband help me clarify the colors in my eyes.

My first draft of my Zyla colors seemed a bit off, at least when looking at the first, second and third base.

• Essence comes from your skin color and is your "white."  
• Romantic comes from your palm or pinched finger and is your "red," 
• and your Dramatic color comes from your veins in your wrist and is your "blue."
• Energy comes from the darkest shade in your iris,
• and Tranquility comes from the lightest shade in your iris.
• First Base is from the outer rim of your hair, which is your version of "black."
• Second Base is the darkest color within your hair, which is your version of "brown."
• Third Base is the lightest color within your hair, which is your version of "khaki."

This is what I thought they were:

Here's what they are closer to pulled from Caygill palette:

When I thought I was a Summer

So my white is a rosy cream, my red is raspberry, my dramatic is teal.  My energy color is a dark taupe and my tranquility is a regular taupe.  My black is dark teal grey.  My brown is dark slate blue.  My khaki brings in some yellow, which is odd for a cool tone.
