Colour your perceptions of personal SUCCESS
Colour creates a powerful impression. In fact, when we look at someone, colour is the very first thing we see. Colour also lends an emotional response to first impressions, that shape, size, and style cannot. It quite literally COLOURS our perceptions.
Stylists in the entertainment industry have prized this little known fact for decades. They have used colour to the fullest advantage to slenderize, beautify, dignify, minimize, enhance, and otherwise create any image a director could imagine.
The world recognizes colour
People have always understood the idea of someone looking fabulous in a certain colour. However, the notion of wearing “the right colors” as a tool for personal image enhancement came into the spotlight in the early 1980s, most notably because of the book, “Color Me Beautiful” by Carole Jackson. Some people found great success using the seasonal approach. They were “sold for life”.
That’s because their color palette aligned perfectly with a True Winter, Spring, Summer, or Autumn skin tone(truly warm or cool). For the significant number of people with skin tone that did not perfectly align with one of the four seasons however, disappointment resulted when they “had their colours done” and found they didn’t feel good in all of their colours. It didn’t take long for discerning consumers and colour analysts alike to recognize there were inherent limitations in the four seasons approach.
Even in the heyday of “Colour Me Beautiful”, two-thirds of your clients would have walked away dissatisfied. Worse, you would have lost credibility as people walked away wondering why you didn’t do a better job of matching them up to one of the four palettes.
Sci\ART has transformed colour analysis
Kathryn Kalisz, founder and CEO of Sci\ART, found the dilemma of innacurate analysis fascinating. She decided to take on the challenge of uncovering what was missing from the many, variable forms of colour analysis available throughout the world.

Through her comprehensive research, her extensive experience as a fine artist, and her seven years working full-time as one of four master colourists (for renowned artist and colour standards expert Munsell - during a period when every example of every colour had to be produced for use by industry for colour matching purposes), she knew that virtually two-thirds of humanity has skin tones that are neutral. This means they fall between warm and cool, and more importantly, they fall outside the four seasonal palettes.
From this robust frame of reference, along with her exceptionally gifted eye (as evidenced by her 100% accurate colour vision when tested by Munsell), Kathryn devised the Twelve-Tone Colour System™.
Imagine a colour system so accurate, yet so straightforward to use
The Twelve-Tone Colour System is a comprehensively researched, well-defined approach to personal colour analysis. Using the four seasons approach as its touchstone, it is a system that provides four valuable advantages to you and your clients:
- Twelve Unique Color Tones – for each of twelve identifiable skin tones, there are twelve mutually exclusive colour palettes – no overlap, no confusion, and no “cross-over” colours. Your clients will be able to clearly identify which colours are right for them, and which colours are not, making shopping easier.
- Distinctive, Identifiable Hues – Kathryn’s system is based on a scientific approach to colour. This means the selection of hues in each of the twelve tones can be validated in terms of their respective position in three dimensional colour space. More importantly, it means this is a true colour system – one that is explainable, NOT subjective.
- 64 Hues in each Palette – each of the twelve tones spans a full spectrum of hues, offering your clients versatility. Most palettes provide no more than 45 hues, while Kathryn’s system makes it easy for your clients to immediately come away with a wide selection of colours they like, and want to use!
- A World Community of Colour Tones – the twelve colour tones devised by Kathryn make the results of personal colour analysis three times more precise. They beautifully encompass the full range of skin tones found in all races and nationalities.

A Note From Kathryn Kalisz, Founder and CEO
Dear Professional Candidate,
If you care about your appearance and that of your clients, and if you value the money that is typically invested in looking one’s best, the most important and valuable thing you can do is embrace my approach to personal color analysis.
Color is so influential that it surpasses hair color, lipstick, shoes, even a new suit, in importance. Why ask yourself or your clients to invest in any of these items before knowing the colors from which they should choose?
In my view, beauty presents itself as one unified whole. When we look at one another, we see an entire person – one whole image – and that image is seen at its best when it is unified from head to toe. In fact, when that is accomplished, we perceive someone looks BEAUTIFUL.
As a fine artist, I know this concept of unity well. It is a concept that is fundamental to the way masterpieces are created, and why masterpieces are so enlivening to gaze upon – and so memorable.
Scientists understand the effect of color, too. Like music, color travels in vibrating waves away from the object we see. We can see and feel the beauty of a harmonious color combination just as we can hear and feel the beauty of a harmonious musical arrangement. And just as when a note is observably out of tune, we can sense when a color doesn’t belong.
I know these artistic and scientific principles apply to people as much as to paintings and music. That is what inspired me to create Sci\ART. This is why my Twelve-Tone Color System is so important. It will give you a way of identifying the exact color tone of someone’s skin, so that you can bring color selections into harmony with the person – to create one unified whole.
Male or female, young or mature, you and your clients will look your strongest, healthiest, and best when you are wearing your correct colors. It has been my pleasure to develop this face-to-face training program so that I can share the artistic and scientific principles from which people can feel more beautiful, vibrant, attractive, and yes even powerful as they move through the world. There is nothing that can unify a total image the way color can, and there is no better way to become skilled at these life changing principles than seeing it with your own eyes as part of a live classroom experience.
I hope you become as inspired as I am, and join us in bringing the ultimate personal color analysis system to people all over the world.
Make life beautiful!
