In this exploration of color, we start with the simple question: “What is color?” We’ll look at the scientific meanings — from how we “see” and experience color from the perspective fueled by our most basic biological needs, to conscious color symbolism and associations, to our personal relationships with color.

In this module, we’ll delve into color psychology and a discussion about our personal relationships and subjective histories with color . We’ll explore how chroma and personality collide, take an extrovert/ambivert/introvert quiz and learn about the five color personality types.

To illustrate each color personality and their combinations, we will study images of individuals and their artwork. Drawing on Kandinsky, Chagall, Itten and other artists as examples, you will learn how your coloring affects your personality, career choices and how others see you.

You’ll identify all the colors seen in your hair, skin and eyes and notate them on your Color Blueprint.

Your color blueprints are unique to you and will guide your colors.

The 12 core colors that enhance and complement your own coloring are known as your Essence Colors and Magnetic Colors. Itten wrote that “women/men look best when they wear their subjective and complementary colors.”

You have six subjective colors and six magnetic colors. They open the door for conversation, evoke trust, form bonds and show the real you when they match and enhance your coloring.
