Each pick, from a place to be right now to a gemstone and a time of day, adds points to one or two shades. Your top shade is your signature, and your palette bars show three more that suit you, a ready-made colour scheme.

What Research Says About Colour

  • Colour meaning is learned and contextual. Psychologists Andrew Elliot and Markus Maier’s “colour-in-context” theory proposes that colours carry meanings shaped by biology and learning, and that the same colour can mean different things in different settings.
  • Culture matters. White is worn at weddings in many Western countries but associated with mourning in parts of East Asia; red signals danger in some contexts and luck in others, such as Chinese New Year.
  • Preferences are personal. A large international survey by Domicele Jonauskaite and colleagues found that many colour-emotion links are shared across cultures, such as red with love and anger, but with clear local differences.

Use Your Shade

  • Set it as your phone wallpaper.
  • Use your palette for a room refresh or a design project.
  • Wear your signature shade on days you want to feel most like yourself.
