POV: You’re getting ready for an important event and you’ve found an outfit you like, but something about the color is just... off. Why does that shade of blue make you look like you crawled out of a swamp?

Personal color analysis is coming to your rescue. The practice has been around for centuries but has recently taken social media by storm, with millions of videos of people sitting anxiously while an analyst holds dozens of fabric swatches up to their face and identifies what color “season,” or palette of colors, best flatters them.

We chatted with Indy-based personal stylist and image consultant Beth Divine to get the scoop on all the whats, whys, and hows of color anaylsis.

How do I prepare for a color analysis?

“Come in with a bare face! I don’t want to see any foundation, lipstick, blush, or eyeshadow, which can alter your colors. I often ask clients to also bring color photos from their childhood so I can get an even more accurate picture of their coloring. I drape them in white, cover their hair if it’s not their natural color, and wear a white jacket to create a color-free zone.”

When you finish a color analysis session, your stylist will send you home with a set of physical cards with your colors on them to make in-person clothing and makeup shopping much easier.

What are you looking for in a color analysis?

“I am looking for the level of contrast in the client’s coloring; for example, how much brightness there is between the eye color and the whites of the eyes. The eyes alone have so many facets to explore. For instance, many autumn eyes have a spoke pattern in them, while winter eyes are extremely high contrast, clear in color, and bright.”

Recently, we shared info on the Carbon Reduction Program, a distribution of $6.4 billion in formula funding over a five-year period in an effort to reduce transportation emissions across the US.

We also asked how you’d like to see funding from the program spent in our urbanized area, should we receive program money again.

Here’s a breakdown of what you said:
  • 33% | Public transportation
  • 31% | Pedestrian-friendly roads and facilities
  • 15% | Traffic management/road diet projects
  • 10% | Bike infrastructure
  • 3% | Fuel alternatives
  • 3% | Port electrification projects
5% of you mentioned other projects that you’d be eager to see, like:
  • Purchase of wooded land in and around Indy to save trees, increase parkland, and stop destruction of quality woods by developers.
  • Can I select all of these options? Would love to see the funds allocated in all of these buckets.
FY2024 funding announcements are expected in January or February.
