Oh --

Didn't want this to get lost in my novel, but if you scroll down through this blog post you'll see many Color Alliance palette books.

I think this system has a lot going for it -- especially names, which include:

Contrasting Resplendent Summer! True Luxuriant Summer!

True Topaz Spring! Contrasting Chestnut Spring!

Light Carmine Autumn! Vivid Sparkling Winter!

...and many, many more.

Wow, Vix, that is one crazy-specific looking color system! Am I the only one who thinks that taking it to that level is splitting hairs? Some of those palettes look nearly indistinguishable from one another. I'm an artist so I'm quite color aware, but this level of categorization kind of boggles my mind.

I agree, Janet.

Janet and Alasse, agree it's VERY er, nuanced!

IIRC each season has core colors and then it radiates from there -- I know hair and eye color do matter unlike, say, in Sci/Art. It may be one where some palettes are for seasons that "flow" into one another, hence overlapping colors between seasons.

I should recall more but after a while stuff blends together, ha.

[The system's been around for several decades and I think just got bought up by Color Me Beautiful.]

That's mind boggling! I'm sticking with Sci-Art, where the palettes are easy to distinguish.
