What is colour? I can’t believe I haven’t written about this before!

What a delight! Carole needs bright!

13th October 2020

I met Carole earlier in 2020, when she’d just started her business as a ‘Virtual Office Manager’. She seemed lovely (just the type of person who I’d love to work with). I kept meeting her at different events throughout the year. She saw one of my posts, which prompted a conversation about colour analysis, and […]
