Each drape carries a label which shows the
- name of the hue, shade, tone or tint
- and its number
These are for ordering purposes only. Each drape suggests which season could safely wear that colour:
- Spring
- Summer
- Autumn
- Winter
Each drape also suggests which tonal direction could safely wear that colour:
- LT = Light
- DK = Dark/Deep
- BT = Bright/Clear
- MT = Muted
- C = Cool
- W = Warm
So if you work with the tonal approach, you can use any of the drapes with that method. They are all also marked with the seasons, so every drape can be used with any system.
Therefore don’t order both the seasonal and the tonal drape sets.
Every single drape carries a label with both seasonal and tonal directions (see above). Each of the two sets above can be used for both seasonal and tonal draping.
We have simply selected 15 drapes for each of the 4 seasons in the Seasonal set that will allow you to conduct Spring vs. Autumn comparisons, Spring vs. Winter comparisons, and Spring vs. Summer comparisons easily (plus all the other permutations, of course).
But you will just as easily be able to pick out comparison drapes to select or compare the correct tonal directions too.
The same goes for the Tonal set, where we have selected 15 drapes for each of the 6 tones; it will be simple to compare Deep vs. Light, Cool vs. Warm, Bright vs. Muted. But you will just as easily be able to pick out seasonal comparison drapes if you want to.
