Author: C Color

How can you guarantee that you will receive compliments?

It is lovely when someone compliments you on your appearance. You hear “You look beautiful today” and you are instantly feeling more self assured or you walk into a certain room and feel pleasantly pleased or when shopping, you gravitate toward certain merchandise that you find more appealing, than other merchandise.

What is the origin of those situations?

Color is the answer!

The Impact Of Color

Color is a part of every aspect of our lives. Color determinations are made daily; from ensembles and food, to interior design and lighting and more and those directives create profound statements, influence moods and enhance spaces. In that event, the unparalleled colors are paramount to your well-being.

The C Color® Story

Color theory is a part of the Perception Management field and is brought into play in industries all over the world.

C Color Founder, Lynette M. Hayde discovered the C Color Ideology, shortly after she hosted a color party for friends years ago. After a Color Consultant draped her guests with fabrics to identify their “seasons,” Ms. Hayde observed that her friends never followed the color advice that was imparted.

Ms. Hayde also began to be acutely aware of color and realized that she recognized the nuances in colors, that the average individual did not recognize. Within months of this observation, Ms. Hayde understood why previous color theories missed the mark. A person’s signature or category of colors is not confirmed by a season or an outward appearance. The inclinations are latent; hence, we embody a color gene, within our DNA.

C Color is the first and only company to quantify intuitive color preferences. Quantifying intuitive color inclinations is the specialty of C Color and that Ideology and the C Color Methodology will instruct you how to live life in your color environment.

Most people have an appreciation of colors, but are unable to choose the correct hues for their environments or choose colors that are praiseworthy for them to wear. After years of color theory research, consulting, and testing, Ms. Hayde created C Color, to aid clients in utilizing the colors within their C Color Spectrums, in their daily lives.

On the C Color Website and with the C Color App, you are able to take the C Color Quiz and ascertain your C Color Spectrum. You can then employ the C Color App to direct you in distinguishing the exemplary colors for you, sanctioned by your intrinsic DNA propensities.

The C Color® Theory

There are four C Color Spectrums and the predominant base of each C Color Spectrum is one of the primary colors of blue, yellow or red. Every individual is born into one of the four C Color Spectrums. The predominant base of the color is what matters, not the intensity or value.

The below quadrant displays a Cool Blue Ash Based gray color, a Cool Blue Based navy color, a Warm Yellow Based blue color and a Warm Red Earth Based teal color, as examples to further demarcate the four C Color Spectrums.

All individuals wear virtually all colors, however, it is significant to wear the colors within your C Color Spectrum from the décolletage/chest area upwards. The colors that are not in your C Color Spectrum will not complement your face or complexion, but, can be worn from the chest area downward.

For example, all C Color Spectrums contain the colors of blue, simply not the exact same blues, as there are hundreds of thousands of blues in each C Color Spectrum and millions of blues, in general. The predominant base of the color of blue is what differentiates the C Color Spectrum.

Most people do not notice the nuances in colors, although those differences can intensify or diminish your appearance. At times, the variance between the predominant primary base of a color can be subtle and at other times, quite distinctive.

Moreover, people often confuse the temperatures of colors. Makeup artists, stylists, designers and most other industry professionals, categorize blues, greens and purples, as cool colors and reds, yellows and oranges, as  warm colors and that is inaccurate, as all colors can be cool or warm.

As stated, a color gene is a part of your DNA, consequently, you are born with the virtue of color intelligence. Unlike previous color theories, your C Color Spectrum has nothing to do with your external appearance. Your C Color Spectrum is authenticated by your penchant for color, by means of your color gene.

Why It Is Important To Wear The Colors Within Your C Color Spectrum

Color is a powerful tool that is continually appropriated, despite the fact, that we rarely take the time to think about our color judgements. Choosing unequaled colors can have a monumental impact on your life.

How often do you pause to consider the decisions that you make, regarding color and how do the colors transform your life?

When you wear the colors that comprise your C Color Spectrum, your complexion will appear flawless and glow. In addition to looking your best, you can think, feel, act, learn and heal your best.

On the other hand, if the colors are not within your C Color Spectrum, then the colors will wear you, that means that others notice the hues, not you, as the colors will drain the life from your skin.

Below is an example of a model in both C Color Spectrum 2, that has a predominant Cool Blue Base and C Color Spectrum 3, that has a predominant Warm Yellow Base.

Distinctly, when the model is clad in C Color Spectrum 3 colors, she has a flawless and glowing complexion, as the model, in reality, is within the C Color Spectrum 3 category.
