Thank you for this article, it's wonderful to read about colour. As a designer, you can imagine I'm a little obsessed with paint charts too. So many possibilities!

All the colours, all the time. I'm like a walking colour palette and I take great delight in it. A friend once said to me 'you dress so joyously'. I embroider in the same way. My friend once told me that I dress like an unafraid toddler. I could have taken offence, but quite frankly childhood is something many of us long to return to. Simpler days filled with persistent pockets of excitement, laughter awe and wonder. That 'oohhh ahhhh' of a colour combo bestills my beating heart. I think colour is often feared by people, colourful choices often bring great bravery and great joy in equal measure. Often a sign of someone who is comfortable and confident not be correct all of the time and see opportunities to grow from what others would see as failure. Colours are brave, bold and beautiful.
