Greetings!

For those of you living in the UK no doubt you've been making the most of the glorious mini heat wave this past week. Such an unexpected blessing! 

 

This month's issue has a real interesting mix of articles. My interiors article is a sneak peek of the latest designer products for the home from one of London's premier design shows.    

 

If you ever wondered how paint companies, selling similar colours manage to stand out from their competitors, this month's branding article explains how they do it.    

 

In the news shows how Scientist Ben Craven gets school children excited about colour and looking at colour in nature you'll find all about the very rare 'fancy vivid' yellow diamond.

 

And instead of my regular special offer, there's a fun colour naming experiment!    

 

 

Enjoy!

A message from a recent client:  

  

"I knew having Karen help me with my personal brand colours would be an interesting process, but I hadn't realised that it would also be uplifting AND a lot of fun.  I now have a wonderful palette of colours to dress from that make me feel great just to look at them, and I can now choose clothes with certainty that the colour will look 'right' ".

 

Wishing you a great month!
