Consider what happens when you stand before a great painting.
Something shifts before you have time to think. The colors exists in such precise relationship with one another that the eye recognizes it immediately ---- before the mind has named what it is seeing. You feel it in your body before you can explain it. That is not sentiment. That is harmony. And the eye has always known how to find it.
Claude Monet spent his life studying the precise moment when light touches water, when one color meets another and something beautiful happens between them. Berthe Morisot ---- among the most gifted colorists of the Impressionist circle ---- painted women in their own light: intimate, particular, seen. Both understood that harmony is not decorative. It is a quality of things. It is real, and it is recognizable, and it moves us precisely because it is true.
A painting in a dark room is no less a masterpiece. Your palette is simply the frame that lets the world see it.
Your coloring most essentially your skin, and the way your hair and eyes exist in harmony with it already exists in natural beauty. The colors that harmonize with it do not create that beauty, they simply make it easier for the world to see.

"I like to see the world through your eyes." The words were spoken by a passerby at an art show to my grandfather. A master of watercolor, he never forgot those words, and neither have I.
My grandfather was an award-winning hyperrealist watercolor artist who saw the world in spectacular hues ---- capturing light and color with a precision that left people breathless. I grew up beside that way of seeing. Then went to art school, where it became a discipline.
