How do you feel when someone says, “Wow, that’s really a beautiful color on you?”

If you’re like most of us, you feel seen, appreciated and honored. You feel welcomed into a conversation or a space. The compliment affects your mood, your self-confidence and even your ability to succeed.

If there’s a romantic spark between you and that person, you may feel more “lit up” and flirtatious.

So, what’s really going on? Why does color have such a profound impact on our emotions, energy and perceptions?

Color is a powerful tool for evoking transformation, especially when it’s used to create harmony between your inner essence (your soul self) and the outer world. When you use color in this way, people feel a kind of “rightness” about how you look and who you are — and so do you!

Why is that? Certain shades and tones are more aligned with your “inner colors,” or true essence. And when we choose these colors, people take notice. They truly SEE us — in a deeper and more authentic way.

Selecting the colors that are most authentically YOU goes beyond merely deciding what to wear. It extends to the color of your hair and accessories you use (like belts, jewelry, ties and makeup). It even includes the colors you choose for your living room, bedroom and office.

You have the power to choose the colors you surround yourself with, which can either evoke your true essence or leave you feeling inauthentic or invisible.

The colors we select signal to our subconscious and others how we are feeling, what our intentions are — and even how healthy we are physically and emotionally.

Colors that accurately reflect your essence can make you feel more at peace and more comfortable in your own skin. You feel “at home” wherever you are and you don’t feel the need to TELL others who you are — you simply radiate your inner essence naturally.

However, when we navigate life with the wrong colors — for our hair, clothing, home or work environment — we may feel a bit “off,” because our natural expression is being suppressed. People don’t see us for who we truly are, and we may even feel depressed without knowing why.

Without special color training and the ability to align your color choices with your unique inner shades (your true colors), it’s easy to be led astray by fads and fashion trends. You’re more likely to adopt colors that are out of sync with your authentic self and that inhibit your unique way of showing up in the world.

But what if you knew precisely, and even scientifically, which colors align your appearance with your true essence?

And what if this harmonious alignment made you appear more beautiful, magnetic and radiant to others and more at home in your body and in your life?

When you know the secrets for working with color, you have the capability to relax into a more natural expression of who you truly are. You gain more energy and confidence. And you literally a living “work of art” because you’re applying the deeper principles of beauty when designing your appearance and your life.

In The True Colors Course, renowned color pioneer Arden Reece will guide you through an in-depth journey into the power of your personal color palette to express your essence in work, play and love.

She’ll take you behind the scenes with designers, artists, scientists and other top color experts to show you the powerful ways color affects your perceptions, moods and emotions. She’ll help you understand WHY certain colors affect you in certain ways and what particular color choices signal to others.You’ll discover how to match color schemes with your body’s natural tones to create a more integrated look that feels natural.

In short, you’ll discover how to exude confidence and vibrancy — not by being flashy but by choosing colors that are fully aligned with your true essence.

This training is a fascinating adventure into the artistic, psychological and even spiritual dimensions of a subject that profoundly affects our lives and is too often glossed over by superficial magazines and fashion trends.

You’ll emerge with a deeper understanding of beauty, which is all about expressing the radiance of your soul.

As you become more skilled in working with color, you’ll naturally evolve into a walking, talking “masterpiece” because you’ll be applying the same knowledge and sensitivity a trained artist does to a canvas!

You’ll experience a new vibrancy that comes from aligning your outer appearance and inner essence, greatly increasing your happiness and making it easier to create the life of your dreams — as well as attract people who honor the authentic you.

Knowing the art and science of color can help you make soul-satisfying color choices for every facet of your life, from fashion and accessories to home and office design. It will give you a new inner foundation rooted in confidence and radiant self-expression — independent of fleeting trends — that draws from the most natural expression of YOU.

Module 1) What is Color:
Exploring the World of Color (May 4)

In this exploration of color, we start with the simple question: “What is color?” We’ll look at the scientific meanings — from how we “see” and experience color from the perspective fueled by our most basic biological needs, to conscious color symbolism and associations, to our personal relationships with color.

Our hair, skin and eyes contain pigments that produce uniquely coded colors.

Your Color Blueprint is unique to you and will guide your Essence Colors, your Magnetic Colors and your personal color harmonies. We’ll discuss visual perception, successive contrast and Itten’s seven color contrasts and how they relate to your personal colors, especially the concept of warm and cool.
