My name is Patricia Foley and I have been in love with color for as long as I can remember.
I recall looking at the color of trees and grass and thinking how wonderful to have so many different versions of green. I used to love organizing my sisters’ closets according to color. I spent countless time at the cosmetic aisles hovering over all the many palettes of cheek and lip colors. I simply never tired of it.
I was drawn to the health field because I wanted to be of service to people in a meaningful way. I spent most of my nursing career in leadership positions and my love of color followed me wherever I went.
I always noticed that a color worked beautifully on one, but on someone else…. the same color made them look, well, not so great.
I made my own mistakes in color selections, and after happily purchasing items that I thought looked amazing, I would be asked if I was feeling well as I looked so pale and washed out. So much for the happy purchases….
I began to investigate color more deeply as I believed that while color is for everyone, not every color works on everyone.
I studied and became certified in 12 season Color Analysis but found that some individuals did not ‘fit’ the criteria. To me, there was limitation.
Instead of seasonal color analysis, I studied a non-seasonal system that takes one’s unique characteristics of hair, skin, and eyes individually, then collectively to identify the best set of colors for the person.
Rather than an individual ‘fitting’ a category, the most flattering colors were found from study of the person’s own unique qualities.
Suddenly, it all made perfect sense. Everyone was included and a set of colors were available to everyone with no limitations.
I take special care, pride, and have focused attention to detail in doing a personal color analysis. There are no two individuals that are the same and there are no two color analysis that are the same.
I believe each person is unique, individual, special, and worthy, and so is their personal color analysis.
