Discovering Your Archetype

I have always considered each individual a singular work of art, possessing colors, textures and shapes that can be illuminated further by setting them against the right clothing, accessories and interiors.

If you have found your True Colors and are still not quite sure of your archetype, my best advice is to go to my Pinterest Boards:

Take a look at the boards for all of the twenty-four archetypes, and look for resonance. Narrow the choices down to three, and create your own board using my pins. Put your photo in the center of each to see which one is your best  “backdrop”. You might even share with friends or family members. Remember that you are seeking the one that connects with and illuminates you, just as the subject of a great master portrait painting is captured by the artist.

Pins featured are from Color Your Style:The Pixie.
