Color Alliance ® (CA) Also known as Beauty For All Seasons  - (which no longer exists, actually now it is used in conjunction with Color Me Beautiful/Color Me Direct).  How to find an analyst that does this system: http://inside.colorme.com/FindConsultantCMB/index.aspx

It is one of the modern and attractive color analysis methods addressed both at men and women.  It was developed by Norma Virgin, an American mathematician, color theory expert, founder of “Beauty For All Seasons, Inc.”. The method consists in a more precise color measurement that eliminates the margin of error, normally related  to an individual analysis by the advising analyst. The CA method defines also one’s personal color palette, and this theory led to a major breakthrough in color analysis.

Each of the four seasons of the year had from a few dozen up to a few hundred subtypes singled out. For that aim a software was applied which is used for allocating harmonious shades of colors to skin, hair and eye color of the person in question.

Therefore the color advisor gets a tool that supports his very often subjective color assessment, and the customer – a highly individualized palette of colors  (it’s possible to choose between “Lifestyle Palette”, “Professional Color Palette  for Women”, “Professional Color Palette for Men”).

The CA method provides for subtle differences in the tone of skin, eyes and hair. In practice that means that every color palette prepared corresponds  to the person only, for whom it has been prepared. Instead of a small number  of colors characteristic for every season of the year we have an abundance of shades  in harmony with the specific color type. It is also illustrated by the three word names  of the palettes, e.g. “true quartz summer”, “contrasting royal winter”  or “vivid velveteen autumn”. What made this plurality of combinations possible  is an arrangement of a vast number of tones and colors selected in such a manner
so as to highlight the natural inner beauty of every single person."
