Look Radiant in Your True Colors
A personalized fabric palette designed just for you—your skin tone, eye color, and hair color—all working in perfect harmony.
What will a personal color analysis do for you?
- Your skin will glow, your eyes will sparkle.
- Because you’ll be visually harmonious, you’ll be more magnetic and appealing.
- Your clothes and accessories will coordinate, and if you buy something new, you’ll likely have accessories and other pieces at home that will work with it.
- Shopping will be so much easier and faster!
- You won’t waste money on “bargains” that you’ll never wear.
- You’ll easily choose your most flattering makeup and nail colors.
- You’ll know which colors make you look approachable, or powerful, or sexy, or credible.
- You can ignore “generic” advice to buy a navy suit or blazer, a crisp white shirt, a little black dress, etc. (none of these work for me, by the way).
- Your color palette is excellent for interior design choices. You want to look good in your environment, right?
Is this color draping?
No! Draping will give you a palette of printed colors, some of which may be fine. Others … not so much.
What you’ll receive from me is a personal analysis that results in a fabric palette with your skin tones, your eye color, your hair color, and all the other colors that work perfectly for you. No pre-printed palette can do that.
Your palette (fan) becomes the perfect shopping tool for clothes, shoes, accessories, makeup, nail polish, and even home decorating, so you’ll look great in your environment!

Testimonials
I NEVER shop without my fan deck of my colors…and I never get it wrong now…..if I could just get rid of all of the stuff that I got before I knew better!

I look beautiful! I am going to church this morning wearing (describes outfit, accessories and makeup). I feel SO wonderful and look fabulous! Thank you again for the transformation!

Before I saw Bernie for a consultation, I was really dissatisfied with my wardrobe and my look. Working with Bernie changed all that! She built me a custom palette, considering my own hair, eye, and skin color, and suddenly it all clicked. I learned which colors work for me and which do not, and how the colors we wear can affect how we come across to others.
Not only did my palette instantly help me clean out my wardrobe so that I feel way better about myself in the clothes I own, but it also made clothes shopping so much faster and easier!

Boy, her work was great and I’m a color liberated person. There’s a big difference in learning what works just for YOU. So much better than the generic version we did years ago. I’ve spent a lot on [high-end brand] over the years, no one noticed. But now that I have my colors done, finally someone notices my clothes – and me.

Thanks Bernie — This change is fantastic for me. I look better; I feel better, and this impacts my clients’ perceptions in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. The investment of time and money was more than worth it for the expertise and the upgrade in confidence, image, and knowledge of the colors that work best for me, and why.

Okay, but what does it cost?
$495. This is for several hours of my time and includes the $150 that the fan costs me. If it seems like a lot, remember – it’s a life-changing process and an investment in you that will last until you change your hair color (one way or another).
You’ll save far more than that by not buying things that don’t really work for you.
About Bernie
I love color and harmony – and I love seeing how thrilled my clients are when they discover how wonderful they can look in the colors that are perfect for them.
I first had my colors done at a color draping party in the 1980s (yes, I’m old). It was very similar to the Color Me Beautiful model of four seasons. I was horrified to be told I was a Spring because I badly wanted the Winter palette. The Spring palette didn’t look like it would work well in a business environment. Nevertheless, I made an effort and bought the colors I thought would work. I was stunned at the results, especially one day when I was walking down the street wearing an off-white suit and a coral-pink silk blouse. People opened doors for me, stepped aside to let me pass, said “After you!” This had never happened before. I became a true believer.
Years later, I decided I wanted to learn to do color analysis. The woman who did my original palette was not doing that anymore, so I soon discovered that the San Francisco Bay Area was where many high-level color designers worked. I arranged to meet Sharon Chrisman, who became my teacher and mentor. She introduced me to the Suzanne Caygill way of doing colors. That’s when I found out I had avoided wearing my olive-green eye color for many years because, in the basic four-palette system, that was an Autumn color.
I also found out why I didn’t like several of the colors in that original palette. I was thrilled to be given my skin tones, my perfect reds, and an overall sophisticated-looking palette. I also learned that a mid-value teal works on everybody.
I did a lot of paint mixing, took a lot of classes, and got really good at this. I joined Color Designers International, earned the CDI credential, and was President for several years. I’m still on the board because I believe we represent the best way to do color. I’d love to share that with you.

I am thrilled with my color analysis. I wish I’d done this sooner! Bernie has an amazing eye and a very comprehensive service that determines your personal colors rather than using a standardized palette. I learned I’ve been wearing colors that detract from my appearance, and I’ve never worn some of my best colors.
I can now see the difference when I’m wearing my colors. I just look more put together, my face appears smoother and brighter, it’s easier to decide what to wear, and I feel more confident in my appearance.
