“Colour is not just something we use, but something we experience in profound and meaningful ways.” Anna Starmer
In this issue of Luminary Colour, we explore the future of colour and materials, focusing on the intersection of human emotional intelligence and ecological sustainability. Over the next 2-3 years, the role of colour will take centre stage within the design industries, as we begin to understand how colour influences not just aesthetics, but our emotional and intuitive responses to the world around us.
