Actually, I still do Color Analysis on people. I was color draped by "color me beautiful" when I was a teenager and became a "color analyst " in my early 20's. It's true that there are more exceptions than rules. But basically most of the population look best in cool colors. Most are what are considered "winters". "Summer"s are second (also cool colors) followed by "Autumn" and "Spring" which are both warm colors. Spring's are the rarest while Autumn's are plentiful but still less common than summers.
So in answer to your question Diana, polish companies DO go by sales and those colors probably sell less. I find clients wear colors that look best on them (whether they go by their season or not). And if the majority of the population are cool seasons, then the cool colors would be more popular. The polish companies also go by what is in fashion. They receive what colors will be popular almost a whole year before the general public knows. It gives them time to product colors what compliment what the fashion world produces for the public to wear. I learned that working for Orly. Color analysis has always been a "controversial" subject. Many people feel they don't want to be told what colors they can and cannot wear. After all, what you wear is an expression of yourself. For those who want to look their absolute BEST all the time, color analysis is a way of knowing what colors best compliment them. It's not for everyone, but it really does work. And yes, there are exceptions to the "rules"...that's what's so fun about being a color analyst ! Helping someone find what they look best in! Generally, we find what season someone is. Then we rule out what colors do absolutely NOTHING to enhance them. Then we find the colors they can wear from other seasons. Most of the time, winters can wear colors from other seasons. But the warm seasons usually have to stick to their pallet . Also, spring and autumn usually have to wear their make up to look their best, while summer and winter usually have enough color to that they look good with or without. Hope this clears things up and answers a few questions. I've learned all of this through training and experience, it's not JMHO ...but as I said, those who disagree with color analysis, will find fault with it. But the proof is in the pudding...I've experienced these things. all the best, Simmy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Holly L.
