I am excited to be your source for seasonal color analysis and style analysis in Manhattan, Kansas. I love helping people gain knowledge and tools to develop confidence, clarity, intentionality, & professional presence. Let’s build a color and style strategy that elevates your life and work!
Welcome!
In 2020, I sat in the chair for my own color and style analysis (thanks, Linda Davis!), and it changed so much more than my wardrobe. It helped me define my personal style and show up with greater presence and confidence in my work as an educator, researcher, and leader.
Before that, I was buying and wearing things that I thought looked "professional" - but I wasn't always sure I was presenting myself the way I wanted to. I had a lot of clothes, and only wore some of them.
Now, knowing both my color season AND my clothing personality, I love opening my closet because everything works together and reflects who I am.
I am thrilled to be trained as a House of Colour stylist. I am also a teacher and researcher, and I bring that approach to every appointment. I love helping clients understand the why behind their results through an evidence-based process that is educational, empowering, and personalized. My goal isn't just to tell you what colors to wear—it's to help you become the expert on you.
I also believe this experience is about so much more than finding your season. It's about building confidence, creating genuine relationships, and celebrating what makes each person unique. Some of my favorite moments happen long after the drapes are put away, when clients come back to share how much easier getting dressed has become or how much more like themselves they feel.
At House of Colour we share tools, not rules. Your color and style analysis are meant to give you confidence and clarity, not limitations. They are resources to help you make choices that feel authentic to you and support the life you want to live.
Whether we're discovering your best colors, identifying your most flattering neutrals, simplifying your makeup routine, or building a wardrobe that truly fits your lifestyle, I'm here to support you at every step!

Color Analysis
-
Get dressed every day with purpose, ease, and JOY! A color analysis provides you with life-changing information. Using precision-dyed drapes and my extensive training I will prove to you the value of knowing your season; a palette of colors customized to your unique undertones. We apply this information to women, men, and children of all races, ethnicities, and genders. Your season will never change so this is information you can carry with you for a lifetime.
There are three parts to every color session. First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewelry, watches, glasses, and when applicable: hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup products will take the guesswork out of choosing colors that highlight your natural beauty. Finally, we'll dive further into your season and choose the best colors for your casual and professional life, discovering your list of WOW colors.
You will leave your appointment with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a brochure full of tips and reminders specific to you that you can reference later to make shopping and wearing your new colors a confident experience!
You should arrive at your analysis free of spray tans and makeup for optimal accuracy. No pictures will be taken without permission, nor are they shared on social media without your consent.
Advanced Color Analysis
-
Advanced Color Analysis is an opportunity revisit your season, refresh your seasonal color knowledge and build upon the foundation of your personal color analysis. It’s something you may want to explore at least three to six months after your initial House of Colour color analysis (I am happy to discuss ideal timing with you).
During this appointment, we'll dive deeper into the specifics of your season and show you color combos, and more makeup options, and provide guidance specific to you.
You will leave your appointment with an Advanced Color guide in your season where we will log all color and make up combinations (we rate them too!) for future reference. You may pair this guide with your fan and color brochure you received at your first color analysis to further customize your look.
Sessions take approximately two to three hours and we will review 40+ color combinations in your season.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll teach you how to combine who you are with how you dress so you can step out into the world looking fabulous as your authentic self. We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework- we call this a “Clothing Personality. You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, and accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. Because we factor your personality into this framework, our style analysis goes a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces so your clothing not only looks great but also represents who you are.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. We'll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren't working for you, so you save time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we'll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you've already had a color analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

View TestimonialMy experience with Kerry and House of Colour was truly transformative. Before my color consultation and styling session, I felt completely lost when it came to clothing, style, and presenting myself with confidence. As a woman in a leadership position, I often struggled to find a wardrobe that felt both professional and authentically me. Understanding which colors and styles complement me has taken the guesswork out of getting dressed and helped me feel polished, comfortable, and comfortable in my own skin. Your time with Kerry is worth every penny for the investment in you.

View TestimonialToday I had my first-ever color analysis session! When I found out Kerry P. was starting this business, I was so excited for her and saw her radiating warmth and beauty at Third Thursday as she told people all about it. I signed up for my session today and knew it would be a fun experience.
I learned more about myself and what colors make my skin look good and my eyes pop. I hope I can apply what I learned when shopping or putting outfits together in the future! Kerry does offer appointments for small groups too, but I think with the time and detail needed just for one person, it is probably best to go by yourself and gift a solo appointment to your friend or loved one. I left with an important concept: these are "tools, not rules!"
