Colour Specialist, Mark Wentworth has a background in T.V. and film make-up which led him to explore the deeper meaning of colour. Mark became a student with the Colour Harmonic Foundation in 1988, gaining honours in a course which looked at colour psychology, colour in décor and colour in the environment.
Mark has conducted his own studies and research, increasing his knowledge of and insight into this fascinating world of colour. He runs his popular workshops throughout the UK and Europe, teaching people about the power, and everyday use of colour. In 1994, Mark qualified with the International Health and Beauty Council as a Colour Consultant, enabling him to reach an even wider audience. It was after this that he became more aware of the link between colours in fashion and the effect it appears to have on society.
Throughout this time Mark has developed and worked with the link between colour and the personality, looking at how and why people have certain likes and dislikes of colour. He has also found that careers attract certain colour preferences and alongside of this, colours can reflect areas of disharmony and stress within the body.
In 1995, Mark began giving talks and demonstrations at health farms around the UK; he has worked at Cliveden, and Tyringham Naturopathic Clinic. He now works at Ragdale Hall Health Hydro offering talks, private consultations, courses on Holistic Weightloss and advice on colour schemes.

Here Mark conducted an audit of all insurance companies, including their advertising and design products, he was then able to advise suitable colours for the merger and new products.
