  1. Colour can also have an enourmous effect on your personal brand image in terms of clothing. I never fully appreciated the impact that colour had on my brand until I worked with a professional image consultant.

    I had actually given up wearing suits and ties because they never made me feel good. I found out it was the colours I was trying to wear – they did not compliment, they actually drained me!

    Now when I wear the colours that are right for me not only do I feel great in them, but people actually comment positively on it too!

    Just my toonies worth

    This is a useful video with an unfortunate error that I hope will be corrected.

    It should read…
    “Americans are not partial to the color orange, but people in this country rank it highly…”

    The current language, “American’s”, means “belonging to American” not multiple American people.

    Thanks

    I also saw the unfortunate error that Julia Z mentions in her comments. The slide following the one with the error shows the French flag, referring to the country that ranks the color Orange highly.

    I associate the color Orange with the Netherlands. If you have ever seen the Dutch national soccer team, you will remember that they are bedecked in orange. In addition, the rabid Dutch soccer fans are all dressed in orange, too. It appears to be the national color of the Netherlands, even though it’s not a color in the national flag.

    BTW, the Dutch flag is also red, white and blue.

    Nice video – very interesting.

    Orange is associated with The Netherlands because their royal family is of the House of Orange.

    Nice video, thought provoking. Wish you had been able to explore more colors. There is a particular mustard color that the Germans seem very partial to; I’d love to see some comments on that color from someone who’s put time into studying colors in action.

    While I’m partial to green, it’s probably not my best brand color. I have to think about that a bit. Thanks for the video.
