Vivid
Vivid: Style in Colour celebrates the influence of colour in the world of interior design and our everyday lives, showing you where to begin if your life feels like it could benefit from some new (coloured) energy.
The eight chapters (orange, red, blue, green, pink, yellow, neutrals, and black) are built around the insights of renowned stylist Julia Green gathered over several decades and feature interviews from leading proponents of the art of colour around the world, including Martyn Thomson (Sydney), Jessica Bettenay (Melbourne), Marielle Ienna (Palermo), LRNCE (Marrakech) and Los Enamorados (Ibiza).
Short essays on the science and psychology of colour complement the stunning interior shots by Armelle Habib, alongside travel vignettes that tell the story of how different palettes are interwoven into our lives. Topics like confidence in bold or clashing colour, using colour to connect or divide spaces, artworks, layering colour for depth and texture, and styling for small spaces and for the seasons are discussed in depth.
