Greetings!

It's the morning after All Hallow's eve. Were you out trick or treating or curled up at home out of the cold?  

 

Either way, you can't escape seeing orange pumpkins and black cats. If you've ever wondered why orange and black are the common colours of Halloween, check out this month's colour & design surgery.  

 

I hope you enjoy this month's issue as much as I enjoyed putting it together. There's also your chance to 'own a colour', and it's for a great charity - Unicef.    

 

 

Enjoy!

A message from a recent client:  

  

"I had a business colour consultation with Karen and am so happy with the results! By getting to know my individual business and its goals beforehand, she knew exactly what effect I would need from my new colours to take my business up to new heights and access a wider audience."  

 

Wishing you a great month!
