Hi all! Slowing down today and, for those that know their best color attributes, thought it would be fun to share out favorite color to wear. Share your season or tonal combination and a swatch of your favorite color. I will go first. As a Dark Autumn who can borrow from Deep Winter, my favorite color to wear is a burnt orange. And yes, this is a proof point towards the idea you often subconsciously already know your "season." Burnt orange is a deep, warm shade that combines the vibrancy of orange with a subtle infusion of brown, giving it a rich, earthy quality. It's positioned in the red-orange side of the color wheel, exuding a sense of energy and enthusiasm while maintaining a cozy and inviting feel. https://www.figma.com/colors/burnt-orange/

I went quiet last week and I owe you a quick explanation for that. Last Friday was my last day in my corporate job. Twenty-plus years in pharma market research, and nine with my most recent company/team. I am only 52 but decided to take the big jump into the unknown. The unknown, while a bit scary, is where the best things happen, right? [No seriously...right????] It was a lot more emotional than I expected, which is a very un-ESTJ thing to admit. (My Te would like me to tell you it was a smooth and well-executed transition. My Si would like me to tell you I cried more than once....which I did...many times) But I'm back now, and I am excited to have the time now to really focus on this community. No more carving time out in the early morning or late evening or even between meetings time. Actual time. So before I build out what the next few months look like here, I want to know what you actually want more of. What threads do you want to pull on? What's sitting unresolved for you from what we've covered so far?

A new tool just landed in the Classroom! The Color Attribute Explorer lets you select any pure hue and adjust value, chroma, and clarity independently. See exactly what each attribute does in isolation rather than just reading about it. It also includes five modifiers: tint, shade, tone, toast, and dull. When you apply any of them, ghost indicators appear on the sliders showing which attributes are shifting and why. There is an explanation panel for each one that gets into the actual mechanism (including why tinting and shading are not simply opposites, and why toasting a cool hue also dulls it). At the bottom of the tool there is a full color vocabulary reference. Every term you have probably encountered in color analysis (bright, muted, soft, burnished, jewel-toned, earthy) is translated into its precise attribute definition. The Soft vs Muted entry is worth reading on its own. Find it in the Classroom under Color Attribute Explorer. Go play with it! This is a first version and I would love your feedback. What would make it more useful to you? What's missing, what's confusing, what do you want to be able to do that you can't do yet? Drop it in the comments.

This community is built around one idea: a color determination is only as good as how it's structured for the way you think. Most color analysis stops at the label. This space explores what that label is actually made of — and why understanding the underlying attributes is what makes a result usable long-term. Start here: Get the free guide — The Five Dimensions of Personal Color Analysis — covering hue, value, chroma, clarity, and contrast as independent, measurable attributes. 👉 The guide is available in the Classroom tab. Where are you in your color journey? If you've had an analysis done, which part of the process felt clear and which part didn't stick?

If you found this group, you're probably someone who is curious about what makes you tick. Maybe you've gone deep on personality frameworks. Maybe you just took your first MBTI test last week and want to know more. Maybe you landed here from a completely different direction and something about this intersection — personality and color — caught your attention. All of that is the right reason to be here. This group exists at an intersection most people haven't explored yet: how your personality type shapes the way you process, implement, and make decisions with information. Including — eventually — how you absorb and apply something like personal color analysis. But we're not starting there. We're starting with you. Whether you've taken every personality assessment available or you're just beginning to explore what makes you tick — you belong here. Whether you've never thought about color analysis a day in your life or you've had three analyses with three different results — you belong here too. What connects everyone in this group is simple: you're curious. And you're open to learning something that might change how you see yourself. I'm Virginia, founder of The Style Typology. I'm a research-driven analyst who studies the intersection of personality type and how people implement structured systems — color analysis being one of the most fascinating and frustrating examples of where that goes right and wrong. I built this group to learn alongside you, share what the research shows, and explore what happens when we stop treating personality type as a label and start treating it as a tool. To kick us off — introduce yourself below. Share whatever you know across any of these: MBTI (e.g. INTJ, ENFP) Enneagram (e.g. Type 5, Type 2w3) Big Five / OCEAN (e.g. high O, low C) Any others you follow — Human Design, DiSC, CliftonStrengths, Kolbe, anything Don't know all of them? Share what you do know. Don't know any yet? Say that too — it's a perfectly valid starting point.
