This sturdy, durable tester is the ultimate color analysis tester. It is 8 1/2" x 11" with a cut out for the neck and leather straps to secure the tester around the neck. The 60 color testers are arranged in harmonic sequence and include 20 half-page testers to determine contrast and show how to combine warm and cool colors in clothing.  Each page is specifically designed with color coated ink dyes to illustrate the basic six colors of each color family. The first thirty testers also double for makeup and eye colors and the last thirty colors represent hair color neutrals. The pages are thick enough to arrange and display color combinations which actually represent exact percentages of warm, cool and balanced colors needed. Most importantly, the tester has detailed instructions on how to attain the ultimate fine-tuned color analysis. Included is the pocket-size Personal Profile Book 56-page Personal Profile Book which is helpful as you test through the colors and it has all the color ovals in full color with clothing illustrations for both women and men as shown below.

 

Includes 60 full page testers.

Also includes 20
half-page testers.




WHY THIS TESTER PROVES BEST COLORS

These color testers have been designed to flip down so that your eye has the chance to see the differences through quick comparisons. Trying on clothes is such a slow process that the eye can't "remember" the difference between color effects. The advantage of the color-tester over cloth drapes is that you have a full range of exaggerated colors which can be tested in rapid succession giving you the basis for valid comparison.

The pages fall down one by one and can also be displayed together to determine Inter-season percentages. You can determine, for example, if the person needs dark (Winter), light (Summer) and a touch of bright (Spring) to complete their "frame." This would mean that the person has a Homebase of Winter, with Summer and Spring Inter-season influences as well.


56-PAGE PERSONAL COLOR PROFILE BOOK set of 4 for $12

This booklet is an overview so that the client can see how their best color range compares with the other colors in each color family. For both women and men, this is an advanced approach and shows the client a possible range of good color rather than so many individual colors defined. We learn best through contrast, comparing one with another. This array of harmonic colors is very helpful...people can actually see the difference between colors for themselves.   The dimensions are 4 1/4"  by 5 1/2"

     

All 10 color families are included in the booklet. Shows one's best colors category and then it is easy to see what range of color is best by comparison—and more important, which colors are not good.  Learning by contrast teaches one to differentiate distinctions between colors. Provides visual reference as you are testing.

  Set of 4 Inter-Seasons for Women $12

                              Set of 4 Inter-Seasons for Men $12                               -

One approach to show best colors is to completely illustrate the colors and spell out the Inter-season combinations, showing a variety of colors so that one doesn't tend to limit their choices. Simply studying this booklet depicts the Homebase Season colors and all 3 Inter-season color groups. There are eight books, 4 for women (Winter, Summer, Autumn, Spring) and 4 for men. The booklet includesillustrations which show a comparison of lines for each season. 

Many astute colorists teach with both books; the 56-page Profile Book which shows comparisons, along with this Inter-season booklet in the person's Homebase which illustrates their colors and shows how to adjust the effects of their neighboring colors.  Especially helpful for men. A few page examples follow here:
