A Personal Color Analysis at Indigo Tones identifies a range of colors that harmonize with a person’s natural color utilizing two color theories combined: Albert Munsell’s Theory of Color and the Seasonal Color Theory of the Impressionist painters.
Albert Munsell, artist and teacher, created the Munsell color wheel for artists that is the global standard for organizing color harmony. It indicates colors that are true to nature based on these 3 dimensions: Value - the lightness or darkness of a color Hue - the amount of warmth or coolness of a color Intensity - the brightness or dullness of a color.
A personal color analysis consultation at Indigo Tones involves a series of fine-tuned scientific color harmony tests against a persons natural coloring. The analysis can not be completed simply by looking at a person, looking at a photo, seeing them on a computer screen or by discussing favorite colors. We will test multiple variations of color hues, values and chromas before determining which seasonal tone best suits you.
Color is the most powerful tool an artist can use to capture a mood or express an emotion. All artists share the challenge of creating an appropriate feeling using harmonious colors. The Indigo Tones 12 seasonal tone swatch books reflect the essential seasonal harmonies based on Albert Munsell’s color theory and the seasonal color theory of the Impressionist painters.
Flat paint chips or a color harmony PDF cannot reflect the nuances of materials that artists typically use, like fabric, paint, beads, yarns, or paper. The Indigo Tones fabric color harmony book will help you pick the perfect color combination for crafting, quilting, needle-working, knitting, crocheting, weaving, spinning, scrapbooking, and card making and more!
The 12 Indigo Tones Seasonal Tone Harmonies perfectly capture the essential colors of each month of the year. When we select colors to wear in clothing, hair color, and cosmetics that have similar characteristics to our own coloring the result is Color Harmony and Balance.
