Online



* Lora Alexander’s site,  Pretty Your World,  is incredibly fun and informative.  

*While you’re at it, check out her wonderful blog.

* Christine Scaman writes brilliantly about color.  Spend hours perusing her sites,  12 Blueprints and A Greener Tea.

* Irenee Riter’s site,  The Science of Personal Dress,  is like a college course in color and image analysis.  Awesome.


Books


* Kathryn Kalisz's book, Understanding Your Color, is essential reading if you want to deeply understand the theory behind 12 season color analysis.


* Lora Alexander's book,
Color Revival: Understanding the 12 Season Color Analysis System (Volume 1)
is just about the only recent illustrated text on 12 season color analysis.
I recommend it.


Color With Style
She proposes an extensive system of color categorization for Asian, African-American and Latina women. This system hasn't yet caught on, but I think it deserves more attention. One of my goals for the near future is to attempt to reconcile Fujii's system with 12 season analysis.


* An oldie but a goodie: Spillane & Sherlock's
Color Me Beautiful's Looking Your Best: Color, Makeup and Style
includes small color swatches for each of the 12 seasons that are pretty accurate. (Problems with precise color printing make this very difficult to find in books.)
