review 1: I firmly believe in the power of color to communicate our personalities and compliment our physical being. This book gives several examples of David's clients who transformed their lives and found opportunity through the power of wearing their specific colors. I like that the book goes beyond the basic seasonal color theories to give personas with artistic inspiration. As a photographer and art school graduate, this finds great appeal and connection.I would give the book a higher rating if in addition to text, there were visuals. I craved seeing before and after shots, some examples or other eye candy. It's like reading a recipe without a glimpse of visually tasting the results. Sad to say, I wanted more.My goal is to someday have a color analysis with David. I think his t... moreheories make color approachable and bring new insights and understandings on how we can show our best selves and subtly influence others in our presentation.
review 2: It can be a challenge to get your colors right the first time you try the exercises. It is good to get your essence correct. This will be needed to best calibrate your other colors when testing against your palm and near your face. Once you feel confident in your essence, nail the romantic. This will guide you later with clues to your archetype and again in calibrating. Your tranquil, energy and bases will take the most time and trial to perfect. Your dramatic can be guided by your veins, but also your romantic. I would hold off on archetype until last. I don't look to the archetype as a personality meter, but rather a loose framework for the quality of color, the application of fabric, texture, ornamentation, or shapes to consider. less
