Creating my colour palette

Colour is so important. In many cultures certain colours have special meanings - in China red is lucky. Colours can affect our mood, they can be calming or stimulating. They can even, when used in advertising, effect what products we buy. Because colours can be so meaningful I spend a lot of time selecting the right colours for my palettes.

Initially, I look at colour trends to find out what palettes are being forecasted by the prediction companies. Blues tones are strong for 2014, from the softest chalky pastels to deepest ultra marine. also blue metallics are going to be very big on the High Street. Using this information I then do lots of colour testing. Until I finally find a combination that I fall in love with and this is it......hope you like it as much as I do.

The combination I fell in love with.
