Two years ago I decided that I would like to invest more in my personal training. Further training to the color consultant has long been on my wish list. I am so happy that I can offer color advice in Leipzig in my studio since 2022. It is a lot of fun to find out with my customers what colors you like.
Grit Hartung, photographer from Leipzig, has accompanied a color advice with my girlfriend Vicky. I am very happy that I can show you the results here!
How does color advice work?
If you have booked your color advice in Leipzig with me, I only take 1.5 to 2 hours for you. Alternatively, there is the possibility to get into the studio with a friend for about 3 hours – then you will both advise you together, which is also a lot of fun and is also a great gift.
First we talk about your ideas about the color advice: What expectations do you have? Do you want to achieve a special effect, for example at work? Do you want to shop more consciously, put together a Capsule Wardrobe or sort out your wardrobe? Which colors do you have a lot of in the closet from? Is there a color that you don’t like so much? All of this is important for me to know when we go into the color analysis.
Which color type am I?
Many customers have heard of the four seasons model. This classic model of color advice is still widespread and also offers the basis of advice for me. However, there are still 5 intermediate types to the four color types of spring, summer, autumn and winter, so that I work with a total of 9 color types during the analysis. I learned this model during further training and it has proven itself for me, since I am also a “intermediate type” and would have fallen through the grid in the classic analysis model.
There are many tests online to tell you which color type you are. I don’t think so much of that. On the one hand, it brings you much more for your later “work” with the colors if you surf the effect on yourself and experience. Because you can also decide more easily with intermediate tones that may not be included in the color passport whether they fit you. On the other hand, there is a lot of half -knowledge on the Internet, in which, for example, freckles or eye color is judged without looking at the overall effect. Therefore, I offer the color advice in Leipzig in my studio and not online.
What colors do I have? – Working with the analysis cloths
Yes, they still exist! The picture you have from a color consultant in your head still corresponds to reality, because the colors are an essential part of my work. It is very important to me that I do not tell you which colors are best you are. I want you to learn to see the effect of the individual colors yourself. Therefore, I ask targeted questions about the effect of the individual colors.
Together we decide whether you are the best of cool or warm tones and what saturation and brightness make you appear present. Of course, I also deal with combination and possible uses. After all, you should not be at a loss of colorful things later that look great on you but be difficult to combine.
An example: Even color types that are best to have strong, rich colors are given neutral combination partners such as white or dark blue. All warm color types also find selected cool colors in their color pass, which are simply better suited for business than many warm variants. It was important to me to learn a modern variant of color advice that is not too stiff and fits into your life instead of squeezing you into a grid.
Together we work through the individual colors and take a look at which red, green, blue, yellow and white tones suit you best. Neutral colors such as black, shades of gray and brown tones are also considered. I put a color circle from your “best colors” that grows a piece of a piece after each color federation.
Your personal color passport
Finally, we analyze the towels that we have highlighted together as your “best colors”. What do the colors we selected have in common? In order to have a good orientation when shopping or sorting out your wardrobe, you will get your personal color pass home from me. We have a total of 9 different color passes to choose from.
Hello Laura,
Yes, I also found it very inspiring and helpful. I would have liked to continue talking to you about fashion, style etc.
Wouldn’t have thought that I already had a relatively good basic feeling – but that there are other colors than dark blue, also strong that are good for me.
In the future I may be a little braver when it comes to colors.
The color card is also very helpful. I discovered that there are also different shades of the front color on the back. Mega!
I am glad that I was with you for color advice.
Anja
