I recently donated eight bags of clothing.

Some pieces had been bargains. Some were still perfectly good. And some I had tried again and again to make work—but after living with my personal palette, I could finally admit they were doing me no favors.

Color analysis doesn’t mean everything outside your palette must disappear overnight. I have learned how to combine colors differently, work with some of what I already own and replace things thoughtfully over time.

But I have also learned that not every color can—or should—be rescued.

A low price doesn’t make the wrong color valuable. The real bargain is something you will wear often because it coordinates beautifully, feels like you and allows you to be seen first.

If you would like that kind of clarity in your own closet, I offer personal color analysis virtually and in person in beautiful Galena, Illinois.

Holiday invitations may suggest cocktail, festive or formal—but none of them require you to disappear into black.

Your most beautiful holiday color might be luminous teal, quiet berry, warm coral, rich aubergine or clear emerald. The occasion determines how dressed-up you become. Your personal palette helps determine which color makes you look present, polished and entirely yourself.

Appointments are available virtually or in person at my Color House in North Aurora. Message me to reserve yours—or ask about giving a color analysis as a holiday gift.

Red is everywhere right now—but red is not just one color.

A warm poppy red can bring a Spring to life. A softened raspberry may beautifully suit a Summer. Autumn often shines in paprika or brick, while Winter can carry a clear, cool cherry red.

They are all red, but they don’t create the same effect against the face.

That is where color analysis becomes so helpful. It doesn’t tell you that you cannot wear a color—it helps you find the version that looks as though it was made for you.

Appointments are available virtually or in person at my Color House in North Aurora. Message me to reserve yours.

IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL.
ALWAYS PERSONAL.

Whether we sit together in my Color House or work virtually from wherever you are, I take the time to study the whole picture—your undertone, depth, clarity, natural contrast, hair and eyes.

This isn’t about choosing colors from a screen or simply placing you into a category. It’s about discovering the colors that genuinely support you—and helping you use them in your clothing, hair, makeup and accessories.

The result is a palette that becomes your personal guide: helping you recognize what deserves a place in your wardrobe, what can be made to work and what may simply be doing you no favors.

Appointments are available in person in North Aurora or virtually. Message me to reserve yours.

Color analysis is everywhere right now—but it isn’t just another passing trend.

So, what are you waiting for?

Your coloring is as individual as your fingerprint. A personal color analysis doesn’t change who you are—it reveals what has been uniquely and authentically you all along.

You’ll leave knowing which colors bring harmony to your face, brighten your eyes and help you look naturally alive. That knowledge goes with you into your closet, the fitting room, the makeup aisle and every future purchase you make.

Once you know your colors, they’re yours to carry with you—and Curated Color by Katherine will be behind you all the way with guidance, resources and continued support.

Come sit with me. Let’s find your colors—in person or virtually. Send me a message to get started.

Before you buy another fall outfit, shop your closet first—but look at it with honest eyes.

Since discovering that I’m a True Spring, I’ve spent more than a year gradually working through my own wardrobe. Some pieces could be maneuvered—layered differently, moved away from my face or paired with better colors.

Others simply did me no favors.

I tried to keep them, but every time I put them on, the color dulled me, overpowered me or made me look tired. Today, eight bags of those clothes went to the thrift store.

I don’t believe you need to replace your wardrobe overnight, and I’ll never tell you that you are forbidden to wear a color you love. But I will be honest when a color is working against you. Sometimes a piece can be adjusted—and sometimes it is better to release it and make room for something that truly complements you.

During a personal color analysis, I help you understand that difference: what already works, what can be maneuvered and which colors are worth choosing as your wardrobe evolves.

I offer personal color analysis in person in North Aurora or virtually. Message me to schedule your appointment.

The color you’re wearing shouldn’t enter the room before you do.

The right colors bring your eyes forward, create a clearer appearance in the skin and allow you to be noticed first. When a color competes, we often notice the clothing. When it creates harmony, we notice you.

That is what I’m looking for during a personal color analysis—not simply a favorite color or current trend, but the colors that seem to belong to you.

Appointments are available in person at my Color House in North Aurora, Illinois, or virtually from wherever you are. Message me to reserve yours.

Fall doesn’t belong only to Autumns. 🍂

“Fall/Winter 2026” describes a fashion season—the time of year clothing arrives in stores. Your personal color season describes the colors that create harmony with you.

A Spring might welcome fall through warm camel, coral and clear green. A Summer may choose dusty berry, soft plum and quiet navy. Autumn comes alive in moss, cognac and rich chocolate, while Winter can reach for royal blue, cool burgundy and dramatic contrast.

Your personal season doesn’t change with the weather. You simply discover your most beautiful way to wear what the season is offering.

Come sit with me. 🤍

There is something so special about watching someone see what happens when the right color is placed beneath their face—their eyes brighten, their skin looks clearer and suddenly, it all begins to make sense.

That moment is why I love this work.

A personal color analysis isn’t about changing who you are or replacing everything in your closet. It’s about discovering the colors that already belong to you—and feeling more confident when you dress, shop and choose the colors you wear every day.

I welcome clients in person at my Color House in North Aurora, Illinois, or virtually from wherever you are.

Your hair may be the most important color you wear—it frames your face every single day.

Blonde is not simply blonde. Brunette is not simply brunette. The warmth, coolness, depth and brightness of your hair can either repeat your natural coloring beautifully—or compete with it.

After 45 years behind the chair, I understand how powerfully hair color can change what we see in the face. Now, through color analysis, I can connect those two worlds even more precisely.

The goal isn’t always a dramatic change. Sometimes it is simply finding the tone that looks as though it has always belonged to you.

Fall color-analysis appointments are now booking, virtually or in person. Message me to reserve yours!
