The Heart behind CLOUD NINE COLOR
Hi! I’m Melissa
Welcome to Cloud Nine Color! I’m a certified TCI color analyst, beauty consultant, and entrepreneur who’s passionate about helping women discover their most confident, vibrant selves. I believe that when you look and feel your best, you show up as your best self. Through personalized color analysis I’m here to guide you toward showing up as your best version.
With the TCI Method, there is a scientifically proven system to help you figure out your best versions of colors that are most harmonious with your natural self! (HELLO! - No more second-guessing or wasting money on clothes or makeup that you never wear)
I believe confidence isn’t about perfection; it’s about authenticity and embracing who you are. Whether we’re exploring your best colors or refining your beauty routine, I’m here to help you create a life that feels aligned, effortless, and joyful.
I love connecting with women who are ready to elevate themselves—one intentional step at a time. It’s not about following trends, and more about discovering the hues that bring out the most harmonious you. Together, we’ll uncover your personal colors in a way that feels both empowering and fun. Let’s unlock your natural beauty, harmony and brilliance together.
With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry and makeup artistry, I’ve spent years helping people enhance their natural features and feel confident in their own skin. This background gives me a deep understanding of how color interacts with skin tones, lighting, and personal style—allowing me to take color analysis beyond just clothing.
At Cloud Nine Color, my goal is to make color analysis a transformative experience that leaves you feeling radiant, confident, and truly seen.
Combined with my certification in the TCI Color Method, these experiences allow me to approach color analysis with both precision and artistry.
When I’m not immersed in the world of color, you can find me with my family. I’m married to my wonderful husband, and our little girl brings so much joy and inspiration to my life. You’ll often find me snuggling our pug, enjoying a good book and coffee, or embracing intentional living with gratitude and love.
I’m so excited to walk alongside you as we elevate your confidence, your style, and your everyday. Let’s take this journey to cloud nine—together.
The TCI Method
3 Dimensions of Color
There are 12 distinct areas of color space and are distinguished from one another based on the three dimensions of color; hue, value, and chroma.
HUE (Temperature): Do you need warm (yellow undertones), cool (blue undertones), or neutral (yellow/blue undertones)?
VALUE: Do you need lighter or darker colors in your palette?
CHROMA: Are colors with brightness and saturation better or do you need colors that are more soft and muted?
What makes the TCI Method different?
The traditional 4 Season method only focuses on Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn, categorized as Winter and Summer (colors with blue undertones) or warm season: Autumn and Spring (colors with yellow undertones).
Did you know? …that 2/3 of humans are neither all warm or all cool. but actually need a mix of both? The majority of people need colors that are found somewhere in between – we call this color space – neutral.
The TCI Method of personal color analysis includes 8 neutral tonal spaces. These tones are found in between the original 4 seasons. Altogether, the TCI 12 Tones encompass the full range of colors
