She explains how individual style, lifestyle, and personality should influence the way one uses their seasonal color palette.

This swatch will help them make informed decisions, ensuring that they choose colors that enhance their natural features and reflect their personal style.

She provides tips on building a coordinated wardrobe using the identified color palette.
