Colour Me Beautiful’s analysts have been helping people find a style
that suits them for 35 years. So what’s the difference between ‘cool’
and ‘deep’? And does ‘khaki’ always = ‘death’?
If anyone should feel confident about the shades that suit her, it is Henderson, managing director of image consultancy Colour Me Beautiful.
The book that launched the business, Colour Me Beautiful by Carole
Jackson, was first published 35 years ago this year, pre-dating Trinny and Susannah’s What Not to Wear and Gok Wan’s primetime TV banger-squeezing by two decades.]
In the 1980s, Jackson’s book became a phenomenon, selling 13m copies and
spawning dozens of follow-ups. Intriguingly, Jackson herself was bought
out of the company in the mid-1990s and has since “disappeared”
(Henderson, tactfully, tells me she isn’t quite sure what happened) but
the business remained. As well as the books (Colour me Younger, Colour
me Confident and Image Matters for Men: How to Dress for Success are
just a few), the company now runs a cosmetics line and, in Europe, a
business, training consultants and shop assistants in the art of styling
and colour theory.
