The four Houses

Each House is a family of coloring. Inside it, three types name the trait that dominates — light, warm or cool, clear or deep.

Vela

warm · light · clear

Vela is the house of fresh warmth. Skin reads peach or gold, hair often honey or copper, and eyes stay clear. Nothing dusty, nothing icy.

Metals · Yellow gold, rose gold, warm brass

  • Vela WarmWarmth dominant · core type

Nira

cool · soft · muted

Nira is the house of cool elegance. Skin has a rose or ash quality, hair rarely goes black or gold, and the best colors are blended rather than sharp.

Metals · Silver, white gold, pewter, platinum

  • Nira LightLightness dominant
  • Nira CoolCoolness dominant · core type
  • Nira SoftMutedness dominant

Kora

warm · deep · muted

Kora is the house of earth and spice. Coloring is golden through leaves — rich, slightly muted, never icy. Camel and olive belong here. Fuchsia does not.

Metals · Antique gold, bronze, copper, brushed brass

  • Kora SoftMutedness dominant

  • Kora DeepDepth dominant

Sable

cool · deep · clear

Sable is the house of contrast. Cool undertones that can carry intensity — true red, emerald, black, optic white. Camel and rust drain the face.

Metals · Platinum, bright silver, white gold, gunmetal
