Ever stood in front of a packed closet and felt like you had nothing to wear?
Meet the next business owner in our Built Here series, Heather Hope, owner of House of Colour Central Denver, a personal color and style analysis business here in Central Park.
Heather spent 20 years in corporate PR, a career that eventually left her running on empty. Along the way, she discovered House of Colour and found something she didn’t know she’d been missing: her confidence. Then came a pivotal moment that made just dipping a toe in no longer an option, and she went all-in, opening her own local franchise.
Today, Heather helps clients figure out what actually works for them, starting with the science. Her color analysis pinpoints the shades that make you look like the best version of yourself, and her style analysis looks at your body architecture — the shape and proportions you’re working with — so you stop guessing. It’s not about chasing trends. It’s about dressing for the body and the life you have right now, whether that means a new role, a postpartum body that’s changed or a lifestyle that looks nothing like it did five years ago.
And no, the color filter on your phone can’t do her job. Heather makes the case for why an in-person session beats an AI tool every time, and why seeing yourself in the right colors, in real light, is the part that sticks.
“Ultimately, I feel like everyone deserves a boost of confidence. They deserve to feel comfortable in their own skin, to take up space, to shine their light, and to feel really visible and healthy in what they wear and how they present themselves,” she says.
Check out my conversation with Heather to hear a few of her favorite client transformations and the one business strength she thinks every founder needs. Follow her on Instagram and Facebook for more of her work — and think of Heather and House of Colour Central Denver the next time you’re staring down a full closet with nothing to wear.
This is the third part of a new series, Built Here: Core Stories from Central Park Business Owners, a part of the Fitness of Business video series. As a paid service to clients, I interview them to discover the story behind their business inspiration and aspirations.
