Why women need to reclaim their relationship with pink
As a colour psychology specialist, one of the things I love to do is to observe the impact that colour choices have on our behaviour both as individuals but also as a society.
When you become aware that colour has this kind of impact, you’ll become even more aware of the colours you choose to express yourself.

Back in May, Dove UK launched their exciting colour confidence campaign. They asked me to teamed up with them to encourage women around the UK to embrace colour and become more colour confident.
Glamour UK magazine are now featuring up until December, monthly colour features on Bringing colour into your every day.
Building colour confidence
Have you ever walked into a store having seen a colour you’ve fallen in love with in the window, only to find yourself walking out having bought your ‘safe colour choice’?
Well, you’re not alone. There’s no doubt we love colour. But sometimes we can find it a bit scary, unsure of what suits us, wondering what others will think…

Red revealed as the sexiest lipstick colour
Did you see the article in this week’s UK Daily Mail ‘Giving pink, purple and orange the kiss off: Red revealed as the sexiest lipstick colour.’
Scientists at the University of Manchester found that red lipstick draws attention to the mouth, most notably from the opposite sex.
This is because red is the colour of masculine energy. It is also the colour of passion and lust… need I say more.
Fiat Launches ‘You Wear’ – A World-First Facebook Fashion App That Reveals What Colour You Wear Most Often

bbc radio wales interview…wearing yellow gets you noticed Pippa Middleton style
The thing I love about radio, they are really tuned into the news of the day, as it’s happening. As a colour expert, I never know when I’m going to be called to comment on the colour stories of the day.
So it was no different last Friday morning when I received a call from Jason’s researcher, the lovely Angela asking if I could be on air in an hour to give my insights on some news stories relating to colour…

What’s your colour of love…?
Valentine’s Day is soon upon us. And if you want to get your love colour language spot on whether in the clothes you wear, the flowers you give or even decorating your store or office, do you know what you’re really saying….?

How to choose the right colours to wear when speaking from stage
One of my Linked in connections, Saskia Jennings asked me the following colour question
” Hi Karen, I love colors! I’m an orange fan. I’m energetic, dynamic and creative…I have 4 speaking events for 50 business people. What colors would you recommend me to wear and why? Looking forward to your suggestions. ”
I was also asked a similar question from @John__Cassidy, known as the headshot guy and a question on facebook about the colours to wear workshops and presentations so it is obviously something people want to know about.
