Height and Body Type Three basic body types: Ectomorph Mesomorph Endomorph Endomorphs look good in just about any intensity of color (as long as it complements their coloration) Ectomorphs and Mesomorphs look better in less intense colors

5
Mesomorph Toned, muscular body Mature appearance Rectangular shape Upright posture Gains or loses weight easily Grows muscle quickly
6
Endomorph Soft body Underdeveloped muscles Round shape Hips wider than shoulders Trouble losing weight Generally gains muscle easily

Garment Style Does not have a direct impact on color, but does relate to your body type, which does impact color Endomorphs – look heavier in baggy clothes Ectomorphs- look frail in form- fitting clothes How could this affect color?

Fabric Texture Smooth, shiny fabrics reflect light Makes colors look brighter, more intense Dull fabrics absorb light Tone down color, appear less intense When would you want to use?

Lighting Natural Light Shows true colors Incandescent (regular light bulbs) Cast a warm light Intensifies warm colors, dulls cool colors Fluorescent (tubular) lighting Intensifies cool colors, dulls warm colors Where do you spend the most time?
