Subject: INTER-SEASON BALANCED COLOR DISCUSSION

Balanced colors are easy to wear and test out so well on skintones that a person may limit herself and not continue further. It is important to begin from a legitimate Homebase before fine-tuning Inter-season colors. Just standing in the middle of the chart is confusing, and will leave one without a solid homebase foundation from which to even begin adjusting colors.

    

There is a very good reason to have a good vision by looking outward from one’s Homebase. There is so much more to consider than just colors. The energy of each Homebase includes vibrating movement of color, lines, and shapes all in coherence with the season (to be aesthetically consistent so that all the separate parts fit together and add up to a harmonious or credible whole.) This gives even greater possibility of expression.

If most of the best balanced colors are on the left intense-clear side of the chart, the Homebase is going to be Winter, Spring or Autumn. If most of the best balanced colors are on the right soft-opaque side then the Homebase will be Summer, Autumn or Spring.

NOTE: The Homebase will not remain classic, but will expand with strong wonderful balance Inter-season colors.

Careful attention to characteristic traits will be helpful guides to establish a true Homebase. Look for traits like a sparkly eye, magnetic glow to the skin, dark eyebrows, freckles, widow’s peak, low contrast, high contrast, even light eyebrows, curly hair, thin skin. Check Questionnaire lists of traits for more clues. Everyone has a Homebase for sure. In fact there are classic Homebase individuals who don’t even wear balanced colors at all.
