CLAIRE COLOURS ME

Using a series of RAL Codes normally used in Europe for paint colours, I have put together a few coordinating designs and possible background colours for paintwork. In due course, there will be more to come in blues, greens, greys and violets. These were developed using the following platforms:

www.colourlovers.com
www.ralcolor.com/
www.spoonflower.com

Also with thanks to avilluk a colour lover and artist on said platform who created and gave appropriate names to correspond with RAL Colours and reverbe for "lavender honey" a lovely name for an equally pretty colour.

COLOURING FUN WITH A SERIOUS MESSAGE ...

2010-05-06T03:43:00.000-07:00

Claire Colours Me is about playing with colours and fitting them around a working wardrobe whatever your business. To stand out in a commercial world of black and grey, a small business can make a statement by using colours that represent their personality, letting that shine through, to attract a market that is likely to work more in sympathy with you. Why?

We all have a colour personality, and naturally choose the hues that attract us or make our hearts sing. Put that into a business framework. If you are a creative Deep Autumn, like me, the typical business palette would include black browns, marigolds, rusts and creams and I have added a contrast in Chinese Blue. Think about how you could use this palette to dress yourself and also to complement your website and attract other creative personalities who would enjoy your form of pottery, weaving, handcrafts, design and consultancy etc.

Color by COLOURlovers

Look around the Internet to find your particular creative bent and see what colours they are using for their sites and which ones attract you. With a Color Picking Tool make a list of the hex codes used by your favourite and play around with colour and design on Colour Lovers, a unique place to share and discuss the love of colour.

Using the rest of the colours on my seasonal palette and a little 'clairyfairy' imagination I came up with a creative swatch set for Claire Colours Me with a view to creating a fashion collection and upgrading my internet presence.

Color by COLOURlovers

The opportunities out there on the world wide web to produce a personalised wardrobe is extensive, and growing by the day. I decided to start dialogue with some of these facilities to partner them up with one other to make it possible to reproduce some of my new patterns and designs.

Do not underestimate the power of colour in your personal wardrobe but also in your business setting. When you discover your own personal season, it will open your eyes wide to a different and creative way of selling your service and attracting the type of person to benefit from it.
