A complete guide to color-theory dressing details a system designed to offer women personal palette color choices in fashion

Nicholson and Lewis-Crum are the founders of Color 1 Associates, an international organization of more than 400 consultants who offer a "personalized color service." Their message is that a woman can wear a range of colors, as long as she knows which shades, clarities and values of color look best on her. Four broad categories of "color types" are outlined, and readers are given guidelines to help determine their group. Extensive advice on wardrobe, makeup and hair coloring for each color type is then given. Although their concepts hardly seem "revolutionary" and their prose is at times overly dramatic, the authors impart a great many useful pointers to those interested in breathing new life into their wardrobesand into their self-images. Included is a 24-page color insert not seen by PW. Excerpt to run in Ladies Home Journal; author publicity.

Written under the auspices of Color 1 Associates, a personal color consulting firm with representatives in 48 states and nine foreign countries, this book postulates that any woman can wear any color if its shade and clarity are right for her. Color types are identified as Muted, Gentle, Light-Bright, and Contrast, and makeup, wardrobe, and hair advice is offered for each. A good solid addition to the personalized color genre, this may be in demand where other such books are popular. It includes a list of Color 1 Associates representatives worldwide. Susan B.
