A Colourful Life

Excess energy, an overactive imagination and an inner colour contrast turned up to 11...
This description* of Florence Welch (of Florence And The Machine) felt a little close to home. Maybe I've been spending too long huddled in front of the computer poking around with saturation levels, contrasts and mixed success. A continuum of quirky, vibrant idiosyncracy feels so much more real than there being a yawning chasm between creative eccentricity and sensible normalcy. Shades of celadon, scarlet, ultramarine and lemon paint a corner for the frivolous-minded who fall in the middle.
But perhaps it would be fun to abandon the sophistication of neutrals and the safe eternity of black, and live in technicolour...
Anything else is just like shades of grey after those!
