Color isn’t About Clothing. It’s About Liberation.

The Rise Method™

Not all color philosophies are created equal.

Here’s what makes The Rise Method™ different:

We practice a traditional 12-type system, with a modern approach to color usage. We believe that color analysis can become a cage if the system is too broad or too narrow. A standard 4-season system is often too broad for today’s discerning shopper, and 16+ types often omit key portions of the color spectrum that are essential to a versatile wardrobe.

We use 12 types for a perfect balance of structure and variety.

12-Type Analysis

We are proud to offer the most robust education available in the color analysis space. We meet new clients every day that tell us “Another analyst told me my season, but that’s it. I don’t know what to look for.”

This is why we have a mission to get top quality, comprehensive color and style education into as many hands as possible. You deserve answers and resources that go beyond a label.

Education is Everything

Color is a science, and style is art! By learning the rules of the science of color, you can break the rules like an artist, using resources that foster creativity - not box you in.

Our results reports are jam-packed with resources our clients have trusted for years.
