Because there is so much to learn in a relatively short time frame we have chosen to keep the class size small so that each student receives the attention and direct feedback they need to thoroughly understand each concept. We don’t just want you to be the most knowledgeable color consultants and designers in your market but also the most confident!
Part 1: Core Color Content
Understanding Color
Your adventure into the world of color begins with a refresher on the color basics you may have learned in college or picked up along the way on your own. Your experience will allow you to use this information in ways you couldn’t have imagined before. So open your mind and eyes to really understanding color as we lay the groundwork for your success.
Color Principles & Systems
A glimpse into the accomplishments of color’s greatest thinkers and how what they discovered about the scientific and psychological aspects of color is relevant to you as a color designer.
Interaction of Color Part 1
Next, allow color harmony to get your creative juices flowing, as you discuss how colors come together in pleasing ways. If you’ve ever been challenged to match unusual colors, but just couldn’t find the right solution, this section unlocks the secrets to beautiful and unexpected combinations.
Interaction of Color Part 2
As you develop a plan and establish your palette, you should understand how the use of line, shape, form, motif, pattern, texture, and lighting work together with your color choices. The Color Composition section explores these elements of design as part of the design process, in which color selection could be the first step, or the last.
Color Psychology, Symbolism and Meaning
Learn about how people react to color and why. You may be amazed to find that your color intuition has deep basis in research, history, and even culture, where one color can have vastly different meanings across societies. The Color Psychology section gives you a new perspective on creating color schemes.
Setting the Mood With Color
Color and Mood shows how you can change the emotion of each room, going beyond a simple color combination. You learn how to incorporate psychology, physiology, meanings, and symbolism into your color schemes in a way that infuses your designs with feeling.
Reaching this point, you have the foundation for building a color consulting business, possessing more insight into color than most of your competitors.
Understanding Color Trends and Trend Forecasting
Color and Trend Forecasting demystifies the process of discovering trends and reveals the influences and colors. Plus as a Sensational Color For Your Home trained consultant, you will have the advantage of understanding the latest color and design trends and being updated each year on what is on the horizon for home interiors.
This comes in handy, because your clients will often ask about trends; they love to feel like they’re tuned into the latest styles. While you would never encourage the use of a particular color just because it’s currently hot, you can talk about them intelligently by understanding how trends work. And you can spot when a client is set on a particular trendy scheme that doesn’t seem to fit her actual style.
Also, a client might ask for colors that don’t fit her home. So how do you connect with what she really wants? How do you guide her to look to her own heart rather than to the latest trends for colors she will love for years to come? And finally, how do you instill the confidence that will allow her to move forward with your recommendations? The Color For Your Home Consultant Certification program has the answers to these and many other questions that may arise as you become an experienced color professional.
