The "Why" Behind Style for Substance Color
Hello there! I'm Susan. About 10 years ago, after countless bad purchases and frustration (including tons of magic unicorn must-haves and seemingly endless capsule wardrobe essentials), I stumbled upon a color that helped bring out my natural beauty. I found it in a sale t-shirt in an odd, mossy yellowish-green that nobody else wanted.
When I tried it on and looked in the mirror, I discovered that my skin, which I had always considered a somewhat unfortunate color, looked almost like it was glowing. I was hooked. But I wasn't going to wait for serendipity to strike again. I was sure there was some way to more systematically identify what other colors might be flattering on me.
I became a certified personal stylist and color strategist on my way to finding an answer. The latter, in particular, provided the insights necessary for the idea fairy to pay me a visit, which resulted in our Color service.
I'll never forget how amazing it feels to finally understand that there's nothing wrong with me just the way I am (in part, because that t-shirt will need to be torn out of my cold, dead hands 😁), and I hope to play some small role in helping others feel the same. I guarantee that there are colors out there that can help you fall in love with the skin you're in, too, because all colors are beautiful in the proper context.
The Challenges of Traditional Color Analysis Methods
For years, people have been turning to color analysis methods to determine the best colors to wear for their skin tone, hair color, and other personal features. Seasonal color analysis, which categorizes individuals into one of four "seasons," has been a popular approach. This method relies on a set number of predetermined palettes that correlate loosely with the colors often associated with the four distinct seasons.
However, many people, myself included, don't fit neatly into a specific category or suffer from categorizations that differ depending on your method, app, or stylist. I've been categorized into each of the different seasons (at times by the same test). Even if you are dumped into a clear and consistent bucket, the palettes for that category can vary substantially.
Moreover, methods that use proxies to determine an individual's best colors, such as the appearance of their veins or whether they look better in warm or cool colors, can be imprecise and subjective. And using screens to determine colors or reproducing color swatches with inks can result in inaccuracies that may lead to less-than-optimal color choices.
The Science Behind Style for Substance Color
At Style for Substance Color, we wanted to develop a more accurate and customized solution for helping individuals find their best colors to wear. We combined cutting-edge color sensing technology with Munsell color theory to do this.
A colorimeter is a device that measures the color of an object, including hue, value, and chroma. Hue refers to the dominant wavelength of light (commonly referred to as the "color," for example, red, green, or blue), value represents the lightness or darkness of a color, and chroma indicates the color's intensity or saturation. We can better understand an individual's unique colors by measuring these three components.
Munsell color theory, developed by Albert H. Munsell in the early 20th century, provides a systematic way to describe and organize colors based on hue, value, and chroma. This system allows us to create color palettes that are harmonious and precisely tailored to each individual's unique features.
Our patent-pending process takes the colorimeter's hue, value, and chroma readings from your primary fixed colors, such as those in your skin and hair. Then, to develop your perfect color palette, we find colors that share key characteristics and relationships with your fixed colors. The result is a perfectly customized numerical palette that can be used, along with your colorimeter, to finally (finally!) achieve a wardrobe full of pieces in your most flattering colors.
