Boy, that wasn’t true for CEs (customer engineers - now we call them system engineers) or salespeople. When I started, it was dark suits (some divisions even had “approved suits” each year), white shirts, conservative ties and shoes and NEVER any smoking in front of customers (in an era when probably over half the population smoked).

The first day I started, I thought I was very well dressed in a collegiate style: Glenn Paid Corbin slacks, yellow Hathaway shirt, Paisley tie and a nice blazer. Everyone in the hundred person office turned and stared at me. It was a sea of white shirts and conservative ties. Intimidating. That afternoon I went to the store and bought a dark suit, white shirts, conservative ties and black tie up shoes. Next day no one noticed me.

I watched a YouTube piece on the NIK Collection software, I have it but only used it for Black & White conversion. I decided to see what it would do using this flower photo I shot last year. I opened it in Photoshop then applied NiK layers to the photo. I started working the image with the Color Efex Pro segment and applying a couple of their settings. Next I added the NIK Viveza 2 section. In it you can selectively changing small or large color areas, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Structure, Shadow, Warmth, Red, Green, Blue, and Hue, of the image without an overall adjustment. It's interesting software in that your edges blends softly into surrounding areas. It's hard to describe without trial and error to see the effects. The YouTube that inspired me to dig deeper into the software is located here....
