Color and Contrast – Medium Contrast
Saturday, April 23rd, 2011
Medium Contrast Level
Dark value hair and medium value skin. Medium value hair and light value skin. Light value hair and medium value skin. These combinations make up medium contrast levels.
Jolie’s hair value is dark, and her skin value is medium.
She looks beautiful in medium valued color combinations and with medium contrasting colors displayed against her skin.
Yes, this dress has a host of faux paus.
But for now, focus on how distressing the color contrast scheme is in relationship to her natural contrast level. Low Contrast

(Video) A Look at Color as it Relates to Contrast – High Contrast
Friday, April 22nd, 2011
Wearing colors that are in sync with your natural color scheme play a significant role in your overall look. But don’t be fool. There’s more to the color equation. Identifying the level of contrast that exists in the colors of your own body and then repeating that level of contrast in what you wear is the little secret many color consultants fail to mention.
How to identify your contrast level
• Take a self-photo and convert it to black and white.
• Determine if your hair value is dark, medium or light.
• Determine if your skin value is dark, medium or light.
Take a look at this picture of Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The high contrast between her hair and skin is easily recognizable.
Converting this same picture to black and white, notice how her dark colors appear very dark and her light colors appear very light.
Now, look at supermodel Alek Wek. Do you think her contrast level is high, medium or low?
Alek, too, has a high contrast level. Notice how the whites of her eyes and teeth contrast highly with her dark skin.
Alek’s high contrast is even more prevalent in this picture, as here we see not only how the whites of her eyes contrast with her dark skin, but also the contrast of the reflected light on her face.
Both look fabulous in high contrast color-combinations. Another winning look is wearing colors that contrast strongly against their hair
or skin
Now, take a look at this video. Note how all the models have dark hair; not one blond. Medium Contrast

(Image DWS Celebrity News) Dang, what good is it to be daughters of a world leader when you can’t reap the benefits? First daughters Malia and Sasha recently had to turn over gifts from Saudi Arabia – two diamond necklace and earring sets – worth $7,275. Why? Because our good ole U.S. Constitution has a clause within it banding federal officials, or their family members, from accepting foreign gifts. But apparently, Malia and Sasha are used to this. Since President Obama took office, they’ve had to turn over: - Two 15-piece nesting dolls from Russia. Worth: $500. So what happens to the gifts? Well, they’re carted off to the National Archives. But wait, get this. Once President Daddy leaves office, the girls, or should I say mommy or daddy, can “buy” back the gifts. Did that feel as criminal to you reading as it felt typing? Geez, the government is a bona fide racketeer. I can’t help but wonder if the gift givers know about this policy? If they didn’t before, they probably do now. Oh well . . . WAIT! Does this mean First Lady Obama is borrowing or buying all of her fancy frocks and things?
