Welcome to Kigo Color & Style

My goal is to find your perfect color palette,
and empower you with the knowledge
to wield it with ease.

Show up as yourself

Whether in business or romance, the perception of others matters a great deal. A strong physical presentation can be the difference between getting passed over and sparking confidence or interest. Color is uniquely imbued with physical, psychological, and emotional implications. Wearing colors that are not in harmony with your own appearance is distracting and distressing to others–even if they don’t say so to your face. You may have found yourself being rejected or misinterpreted, and unable to pinpoint what went wrong in those interactions. Wearing colors that are in harmony with your appearance allows your talents and personality to come into focus, enhancing and grounding you so that others can take you as you are.

Overcome Self-Criticism and Return to Intuition

I believe that people innately possess the ability to recognize the best in themselves–but that outside critique and cultural influences can dull that inborn intuition. By the time we reach adulthood, many of us lose touch with our unique merits, preferring to hide behind what is acceptable or “normal” to avoid disappointment or failure. Over time, we come to see beauty only as an external standard to strive for, not as an existing attribute to celebrate.

Color analysis offers a unique opportunity to appreciate and celebrate your own unique appearance with a fresh and invigorated perspective.

Control without Stress

Working with your perfect colors allows you to experiment with total confidence. After your analysis, you will know at a glance if a lipstick will make you glow, or if a shirt will do justice to your jawline. And the next time you put on a color that is wrong for you, the blame will fall–correctly–on the clothing, not on your face or body. Packing for trips and dressing for special occasions will become second nature. You will spend, consume, and waste less as you grow in comfort with your color palette.

Personal coloring is no different than any other natural trait. Although each of us naturally connects with the colors that most resemble us in the world, cultural pressures and fashion cycles suppress our instincts.

Optimizing your physical appearance allows others to infer that you are self-assured, competent, and focused.
