Before & After: Colour Tips

The rule for grey hair is: Always wear a light shade colour near your face. It will always give you a more youthful look!

The Importance Of Colour: By Michal Cooper

A lot of people find it ‘too difficult’ to assert their own preferences in the matter of colour. In clothes shopping, the common perception is that there are only a few colours available to us. The fashion retailers did not respond to the concept of colour analysis when it spread throughout the world in the early 1980′s. They have the idea that it will limit people in what they might be persuaded to buy. I can see their point, but I would be interested to see what would happen if one of them went to try on experiment and present clothes already accurately ranged in the four seasons.

People often imagine that choosing colour is complicated matter. But in practice, if you get the colour right first, all the rest falls into place.

When shopping most people look at the shape and fabric first, rather than the colour, but this is not necessarily a good way to shop anyway, regardless of the colour issue, as often the best cut clothes do not have what is known as ‘hanger appeal’.

I found it quite easy to adopt the habit of considering colour first. Once you download our ‘Clothing Colour Guide‘ you will discover the joy that you could go through any shop or fashion department in a matter of minutes, if you search only for your suitable colours. You will quickly progress to the stage where it was as if the other colours did not exist.

Before I knew my colours, I used to waste hours going through all the rails,considering clothes colours which would never do anything for me. such a waste of both time and money. Now that my prime consideration was to buy a suitable colour clothing for my colouring I have found that my confidence grew. I knew what I was doing.

Our awareness shifts and old attitudes fall away.

Enjoy shopping with your Clothing Colour Guide and discover your colours, save money and time and shop with confidence.

Before & After: Colour Tips

A useful colour tip for those with red-toned hair is to match your own warm colour with that of a warm colour tone. Khaki is an excellent colour choice as it brings a healthy colour tone to your face that will really allow it to pop out and impress. The use of a khaki top pushes the colour into the background creating more of a smooth complexion, giving you the right balance that will bring out the glow of your natural colouring. A wrong colour choice illustrated in this image is not to wear pink clothing near your face as the pink top can make you look pale and lifeless. If you do wish to wear a pink top however then make sure to have gold-toned jewellery near your face or a warm toned scarf. You would always look fabulous by choosing a warm (yellow- golden) undertone colours near your face.

Interview with The Colour Factor founder Michal Cooper

CEO & Founder

Michal (Michelle) Cooper is the CEO and Founder of The Colour Factor. Since its formation in 2013 the company has offered specialist colour consultations that are available via her unique Clothing Colour Guide that is available for iTunes download as well as its physical guide form. At a fraction of what it would cost to seek one to one consultation, the Clothing Colour Guide has revolutionised the way we perceive colour and how we wear it. 

1. Can you tell us a little about your background before  getting involved in the colour factor?

I have always been passionate about fashion, after spending many  years working in the Travel Industry as a consultant and then a  trainer I decided to make a change into Fashion consultancy. I first  had the idea to set up The Colour Factor after giving my fashion  colour advice/tips to my Friends and Family whilst shopping with them.  One of my biggest joys is seeing people being confident and excited  rather then scared about shopping. I know everyone can wear colour!  However, knowing which colours to wear that best suits you is when you  look great, you save money, time and you shop with confidence.

 2. What would you say is your strongest skill?

My strongest skill is knowing what colours suit people based on  their Hair+Eye colouring and also how to create colour combinations.  People who understand what colours suit them will then be able to  enjoy having a wardrobe full of clothes that they will wear frequently  rather than store.

3. Using the colour guide what colours would you say work best for your own facial complexsion?

My Season colour group is Autumn. Having my Clothing Colour Guide  with me is perfect when I go out shopping as it’s very useful in  reminding me what my best colours are, such as Olive Green, Sage,  Orange-Red, Yellow and Gold.

4. And do you avoid any colours?

Yes definitely, I also know from my Guide what colours I must not  wear such as Pink, Blue-Red and Black..

5. Finally can you tell us the key features/benefits The Colour Factor  will bring to its users?

The benefits when buying The Clothing Colour Guide is that everyone will discover their colour season group and learn which colours make  them look at balance and fabulous. They will also know which colours  they must avoid near their face. They will have more colours in the  wardrobe rather then the usual safe colours. No more trying on  sweaters, dresses or make up which make them look drained and tired.  When you look good you feel good.
