The person behind the palettes
Hi, I’m Sarena.
I help women understand the colors that make them look brighter, feel more confident, and build wardrobes that finally make sense.
Because when your colors work together, getting dressed becomes dramatically easier.

My mission
To take the guesswork out of color, so you can trust what you see, buy with intention, and feel like yourself in what you wear.
Where it all began
I have always seen the world in color
My love of color began with the sort of childhood in which crayons
needed to be arranged in perfect color order.
My parents are contractors, so trips to hardware stores were a regular
part of life. While they handled the practical work, I collected paint
chips. What began as a few favorites quickly became hundreds.
I loved comparing subtle differences, building combinations, and
noticing why certain colors felt harmonious while others seemed to
argue across the room.
Later, I discovered
Color Me Beautiful
,
and another piece of the puzzle clicked into place. Color was not only
something beautiful. It was personal.
From that point forward, I began analyzing the colors of almost
everything and everyone.
Experience built through real color decisions
My approach combines decades of practical experience with personalized
color analysis. I am interested not only in identifying a palette, but
in helping people understand how to use it in everyday life.
Interiors
Selecting paint colors and creating cohesive color schemes for
homes and living spaces.
Beauty
Helping women choose makeup shades that complement their natural
coloring rather than compete with it.
Two decades in beauty
Working as a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant since 2002 and developing
a practical eye for flattering color.
Personal analysis
Providing personalized color consultations for clients around the
world.
Today, I bring those experiences together to make personal color easier to understand and apply.
Color confidence, in their words
The best part of this work is watching someone stop second-guessing
herself and begin trusting what she already sensed about color.
After being in a dark place, it’s great to be embracing color
again.

I love my colors! I used to naturally gravitate toward these
colors, but now I have the confidence to wear them without
hesitation.
Joan
Thank you for saving me from a boring world of gray and black.
Kristin
These colors are so beautiful I cannot stop staring at them. I
cannot thank you enough.
Kim
I’m so lucky I discovered you. I only wish I could have done it
sooner in my life.
Cheryl
You are my color hero and my expert for all things color.

A little life beyond the color wheel
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband and five cats, who provide companionship, creative supervision, and occasional unauthorized keyboard edits.

Color has been a constant thread throughout my life. Now I get to help other women discover how powerful it can be when it becomes something they understand instead of something they’re afraid of getting wrong.
