After a short break the members enjoyed a talk about colours best suited to each individual, both male and female. Colours from white to black and shades of all colours in-between were divided into four groups entitled Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each quarter had primary colours but, for example the reds differed according to whether they had more blue or yellow in them. The vast number of colours suited the colouring of a person, i.e. someone who was a Winter person seemed to benefit far more from the colours of that section whereas colours from another season did not flatter them at all. Two members had shades of green, pink and turquoise from different seasons draped under their neckline and immediately it could be seen which was more flattering. It was amazing how the right colour brightened their skin and hair tones. Winter was the only quarter that had Black and White in it, Autumn had richer oranges and browns. Our president looked better with an Olive green than a grass green, Autumn colours flattered her. It was a fascinating examination of colours and their effect on what we wear; even lipstick had a good/bad effect on our skin tone. Our next meeting is a Summer Soiree at 6.30pm on Thursday July 5 at the pavilion.
