belles"
Summer is no time for feeling the blues, but when it comes to
wearing them -- azure on!
Stars like Charlotte Ross and Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon are setting
the tone by donning cool shades of turquoise.
The tranquil tint "evokes feelings of fantasy and get-away,"
says color psychologist Leatrice Eiseman. "It looks good
on almost every skin tone."

"Red is HOT for the Bedroom"
According to color specialist Leatrice Eiseman, people love red.
Eiseman is executive director of the Pantone Color Institute,
which provides color specifications for virtually every product
made in the United States. In her book, "Colors for
Your Every Mood" (Capitol Books, $20), Eiseman writes
that red evokes a physiological reaction. And since it is believed
to promote passion, it's an obvious choice for the bedroom.

"Corporate Colors"
"Color choice is scientific, psychological and emotional,"
says Leatrice Eiseman, who, as executive director of the Pantone
Color Institute in Carlstadt, NJ, has helped many of the world's
top corporations and brand marketers select and optimize color.
Eiseman's new book, The Pantone Guide to Communicating with
Color (Grafix Press 800/289-0963,2000), reflects her background
as both a designer and a psychologist.
"We know that when people are tested they'll have certain
reactions to different colors. But there are exceptions. Someone
might have a memory that causes a negative reaction to blue, a
positive color. Still, research shows we can work with families
of colors and get a reliable response. The designer's dilemma
is to divorce herself from personal preference and see things
from a marketing perspective."

Every Mood (Capital Books, 1999). "Even a small colored
object, like a bracelet or a handbag , can give you benefits,"

on television early in her career. But the first time she encountered
a television image consultant, she got the word to go to brights.

color analyst Leatrice Eiseman says the color is so commanding,
it can actually raise blood pressure, heighten the heartbeat and
boost the flow of adrenaline.
"It has an aggressive nature, commanding attention and demanding
action," she writes. In short, it cannot be ignored.
