Learn to Use The ColorQUICK™ Assessment Tool
This tool puts personal color theory at your fingertips. It helps you identify someone’s inherent colors and provides color guidelines for personal shopping, closet audits, accessory selection, make-up, hair color selection, and/or personal environment design.
What You Can Accomplish with the ColorQUICK™ Assessment Tool
This tool will allow you to easily assess a client’s personal colors. You will be able to determine your client’s value and contrast pattern, color temperature, intensity level, and color families that relate to their hair, skin, eye colors and related reds. With this information, you can educate your client about their best color choices for clothing and home decor.
For example, if you are an interior designer, you can use the assessment tool to determine your client’s color preferences and also the range of colors they might like in their environment and design.
“We wear the colors—and live in the environments—that look like us,” says Mary Lou.
Many designers look into their client’s clothing and closets to help them identify what colors the client likes. The ColorQUICK Assessment Tool will help you keep track of those colors and determine if their closet colors are truly their colors.
For personal shoppers and stylists, using the ColorQUICK Assessment Tool will help you visualize your client’s colors, as well as help you match their coloring to the clothes you are recommending.
For color consultants and those who create color palettes, the ColorQUICK tool deepens your understanding of color and color harmony.
