New! Know Your Best Personal Colors
Adult Course | Registration opens 5/6/2025 7:00 AM MDT
Your whole life & shopping are so much more fun when you know your most flattering colors! (And, better yet, what are your worst!) TikTok is going wild with doing it online (and can be quite pricey) but you can learn in person what to look for and make good decisions. Hint: You are not just a Spring, Summer, Winter, or Fall. The Seasons are not the best method, as less quality theories prescribe. You are unique, and like your fingerprint, you are one of a kind with your own best colors, textures, and styles. Learn what to choose and what to eliminate to compliment your natural beauty. Dianne’s fashion fabric career expertise brings unique insight and tools like the amazing Munsell Color Globe and eye-popping 2500 color sticks in fabric textures. You will soon see the differences in yourself, class members, and your friends and gain a lifetime of fun with your very own personal style. Tip: This training also applies to your home decorating choices.
(Note: Also available upon request in the future is a 2 session class with a more in-depth discussion of successful color combination philosophies & the psychology of colors, including the well-known Pantone color system approach to personal colors.)
Learning Objectives:
How to identify your best personal color combinations for life long shopping, wardrobe, and home decor success.
- Note taking materials. Samples of wardrobe color mistakes or successes, optional.
