The colorimetry is crucial in the impact that we have over others. On a subconscious level, this has a very powerful value in how other people perceive us and relate to us. A mistake or a success can make the difference between transmitting credibility and charisma or quite the opposite. Hence, its importance in building your dressing room.
“Colorimetry studies the physical perception of color and provides a guide to make decisions that help us,” explains Sandra Burgos, pedagogue, specialist in emotional leadership and author of the book ‘You leave traces’. A smart choice of colors generates feeling of harmony and can make us physically more attractive.
What colors does an intelligent person wear?
Although the color palette is wide, there are three of them that are repeated in people with a high IQ.
He blue It is reminiscent of the tone of the sea and the sky. It conveys stability, confidence and security and a natural resource for intelligent people. “Although this color means all that, it can also convey coldness or distance, so if one day you feel that way, it is very normal that you turn to blue,” says Ferreiro.
He black It is a color with important symbolism. «Those who wear black usually represent elegance and sophistication, when done with style. If it is always worn, it can give the impression of someone who is sad, depressed, cold and lonely. Sometimes it can generate distrust in those who always wear it and have a very authoritarian power,” explains Ferreiro.
He white transmits purity, clarity and innocence. But it is also worn by people with obsessive-compulsive disorder because it is a color that stains very easily and you always have to resort to another garment. «I knew a patient who had 40 white shirts and 40 white t-shirts, and he kept changing them constantly. This color also defines people who get overwhelmed easily and who need space,” says the professional.
The intelligent way to choose the color that suits each person best
In psychology, as expert Ferreiro tells ABC, although color is associated with people’s emotions and It is the way to influence the physical and mental state. However, he clarifies that not only color defines us, but other factors must be added. He points out that you have to analyze, apart from the clothes, how that person is dressed.
«In my therapy I can not only get an idea of a person by the color of the clothes they wear, but also by their appearance. Sometimes people have come to the consultation who always wear black, but if you add to that the fact that they have dirty hair, unwashed clothes and an unfriendly face, I can detect that they have a depressive state. That’s why You have to look not only at the color, but also at how you wear it and the appearance in general. If among all the black there are points of color, we would be talking, in this case, of someone who understands fashion and has his own touch of glamor and sophistication. To do a judgment test you have to analyze a much broader concept,” he says. In sum, it really smart It is knowing which colors suit you best, not as a general rule, but for you specifically.
To find out, it may be useful for us to theory of the twelve seasons. A much more precise classification that incorporates hue, value and saturation. «We are not only going to look at whether a person has a warmer or colder natural tone and whether dark or light colors favor them more (value), but we are also going to observe aspects such as uniformity, solidity, intensity,” states Burgos.
As a general rule, Burgos indicates that people of cold skin they feel good cold tones (silver, gray, blue…) and those of warm skin the warm tones (gold, orange, brown…). “However, it is also necessary to analyze the value (light or dark) and saturation (bright or soft) to determine, within the warm or cold tone colors, which ones are exactly going to make that person look bright and flattering.
The fact that hair is blonde or brunette It is another characteristic to take into account along with the previous ones. The expert points out that a person with cold skin and black hair It could be any of the three winter variants (cold winter, dark winter or bright winter), and each of them has a specific color palette.
«For example, if that person has cold black skin and black hair, we know that it is a dark winter, just as if he has light and cold skin, black hair and very marked dark circles. On the other hand, cold light skin, black hair and intense blue eyes would be a bright winter, and the colors that best suit each person are different,” he points out.
The eyes also another focal point to take into account. “If your eyes are a smooth and uniform color, your saturation could be bright, but if they are a mixture of different shades, this data points to soft saturation,” explains Burgos. In addition, we must take into account whether they have light or dark eyes to determine the value and whether their color is warm or cold to evaluate the tone.
“For example, the fact that eyes are brown does not necessarily mean that they are warm, since there are shades of warm brown and shades of cold brown,” he says.
