Guide · 03
Use personal colors without becoming ruled by them.
A palette should make decisions easier. It should not turn clothes you love into mistakes or pretend every shade behaves the same in every fabric and light.

A practical sequence
- 01
Test colors near your face in indirect daylight.
- 02
Compare several shades from the same color family.
- 03
Choose two or three reliable neutrals for larger wardrobe pieces.
- 04
Use stronger palette colors for tops, scarves, jewelry, or smaller accents.
- 05
Photograph combinations that work and repeat them before buying more.
Prioritize what sits near the face
Tops, collars, scarves, glasses, jewelry, hair color, and makeup usually affect facial contrast more directly than shoes or trousers.
Fabric changes color
Matte wool, washed cotton, satin, and reflective synthetics can make the same named color appear different. Judge the real garment, not only a swatch name.
Keep exceptions on purpose
A favorite color outside a suggested palette can still work through distance from the face, layering, texture, or pairing with a more supportive color.
