This book is really more an organized collection of articles.
I do wish this were more in depth in a lot of ways, especially when some parts referenced things that werent clairified, such as the shade of the colour we should avoid in the psychological section and the design styles that were brought up several times but not explained. I'd also like to see a lot more scientific and histlrical/cultural references. I love a good deep dive.
I did find it interesting that everyone whos color season I know based purely on coloring regardles of whether they dress that way, actuay did fit the personality of their season as described here. Maybe, its a coincidence, but as the author is so passionate about this being the case, maybe she should look into whether our own coloring (not what we wear but our skintone, contrast of features, and whatnot) is influencing our personalities or how else these two things are coming to be in harmony. I would be interested in some research around that.
