I am delighted to have been featured in this Sunday’s San Francisco Chronicle. The Home and Garden section has been running a column for the last several months featuring designers and others that are having an impact on design in the Bay Area. Anh-Minh Le was kind enough to interview me and the results plus my own favorites and cheat sheet tips are featured on SFGate.com. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/02/12/HOFJ1BRUDP.DTL&type=homeandgarden.

I am very pleased to announce that the color Botticelli AHCD #39, from the Ann Hall Color Design Collection, is featured in the March 2010 edition of House Beautiful. Kudos to Kendall Wilkinson for calling out one of Ann Hall’s great colors. I have long been enamoured with Ann’s blues which are some of the softest and loveliest I have ever seen. It is only fitting that one of these great colors would be featured in an edition entitled, “All About Blue”. While blue is a perennial favorite, it can also come off as icy or “baby boy blue” if we’re not careful. The full spectrum nature of AHCD #39, along with all the other Ann Hall colors, helps to soften these unwanted tendencies. To put it in Kendall Wilkinson’s words, “It’s like a chameleon….” Go to www.annhallcolordesign.com to see more of Ann’s amazing colors. Check out Kendall’s store at 3419 Sacramento Street in San Francisco, or visit her website at www.kendallwilkinsondesign.com.

I was mixing one of my colors yesterday, PPC-DT8 Hazelnut and was struck by the sheer beauty of the pigments suspended in the paint before shaking. So what we have here is a clear illustration of before and after mixing of a highly complex full spectrum brown. The yellows, reds, blues, violets, etc. intermingle to make up one delicious color. This stuff looks good enough to eat when mixed. It reminds me of Nutella. Enjoy!
