plenty of colour is a daily design blog devoted to showcasing and celebrating colour.
hello & welcome!

My name is Chloé and I’m a Vancouver-based designer madly in love with colour.

I remember going to the hardware store when I was three or four and, already mesmerized by the racks of copper tubing and bins of nails, I turned the corner and spotted the giant wall of paint chip cards. I am pretty certain my heart stopped momentarily. I knew I had found my soul mate. (above: one of the many little palettes I doodled after that visit)

From soft grey to intense fuchsia, colour is my passion and allows me to see the most ordinary things as nothing short of spectacular. I have created this blog to celebrate colour with those who share similar enthusiasm and wonder. Colour, and plenty of it, is quintessential to so much of what is beautiful in the world. I hope this visual journal can highlight that fact and most of all, inspire you.

Thanks for reading. I hope you visit often!

I am dedicated to promoting and crediting all sources. If you spot an error or don’t want to be featured, please let me know. If you want to share my finds on your own site (which I hope you do!), please link back to plenty of colour. Thanks!
