Colour is something that evolves and emerges throughout a project - it's not something that is arrived at by me putting paint swatches on a table and just choosing my favourite one. Everything we do is meshed together, and I'll consider the colour of the building's brick, the way the light falls and what's outside the window before I choose. The result is a shade that creates exactly the mood you were setting out for - and how we came to create a colour called People's Red for our studio, which played off the bricks to perfection and we used on interior tiles.
