At tuiss we talk about colour a lot! On a personal level I write about colour a lot too as I get to write the descriptions for each of the blinds.

Always on the lookout for inspiration I couldn’t have been happier when Kevin McCloud’s wonderful ‘Choosing Colours’ book arrived at the office. It’s a book packed full of information and a whole host of palettes including natural ones, vibrant and period.

A powerful palette to my mind is a palette that’s not just a set of interesting or strong colours; it’s something that has its own identity above those colours which can trigger strong associations, sometimes in our subconsciousness, of a time or place or emotion.

Now where was I? Oh yes, ‘the lost colours of the Kalahari’ palette!
