I think what bothers me about Pooh's attitude towards Color Analysis
is the assumption that leisure time activities have to be justified
in terms of their benefit to society as a whole.

I would grant that one ought to spend some of one's discretionary
resources (time and money, among other things) on "volunteer" work
such as working on a kibbutz in Israel. (If that is your thing. It
certainly isn't mine.)

But after that one should have some time to oneself to use as desired.
If you like to play softball or go bowling, that should be ok. Playing
volleyball doesn't do anything to help bring about world peace but I
enjoy it and that should be enough. I don't think that everything I
do should have to have help others.

If you will grant then that one is entitled to a few hours a week
to enjoy yourself, then what's wrong with taking a color analysis
class if it doesn't cost much money or take much time and you like
the stuff? I don't mean that one should spend one's life searching
for the perfect blouse but learning what looks awful on you and
should thus be avoided sounds like a good idea to me. And I think
there are people who honestly enjoy following fashion without being
insecure nothings who are only concerned about their appearance and
what others think of them. I think fashion must be more interesting
than a game of golf, for example.

It is possible to indulge in too much of something but that does not
make the something of no value at all.

 I like vegetables that start with "a". Artichokes, avocadoes, etc.
 Some of the "b"s are ok, like broccoli, but brussels sprouts are out.
 As for cabbage, forget it!
