Lives in Colour

Individual relationships with colour are as many and varied as hues on the spectrum. Telling stories about colour, however, unites us in a universal appreciation of the integral role colour plays in all our lives, the way it shapes our memories, affects our moods and heightens our experiences. Lives in Colour is a collection of honest tales told by a diverse group of creative individuals about the way colour weaves its thread through their professional and personal endeavours.
