Beginner friendly: Moderate

Starting as a Color Palette Consultant can be relatively easy for beginners with no special skills or background. There are online resources like YouTube tutorials and courses that can help individuals understand color theory and how to create appealing color palettes. With dedication and practice, even someone new to the field can start offering consulting services. Costs range from purchasing color swatches and books to investing in online courses. I'd rate it a 3 because while it may require time, effort, and learning, it is doable for most people.
