Perhaps there is something wrong with me, but I think it’s fascinating that some people are color-blind. Can you see the number in this Ishihara color vision test plate? I’ve always wondered how different people perceive color – even those with normal vision. Taking this into consideration, a color-blind person would be a treat for […]
Does anyone else lay out their art supplies – whether it be tubes of paint, pastel sticks, or colored pencils – and organize them by color? And after they’re all prettily arranged by their color families, then hue, then shade…do you ever just sit back and admire your collection? Because I don’t. The Felissimo Design […]
Color has a huge impact on me. I’m pretty certain that I am a tetrachromat. I often find myself mixing interesting colors in my head. I even associate people with certain colors. Needless to say, Pantone® is a part of my everyday life – both professionally and personally. Pantone’s tagline, “The color of ideas,” is […]

(Pantone touts itself as the “global authority on color” and its PMS is the professional standard for design industries.) And, as we all know, I’m a color freak. So imagine my delight […]
…or so I think. I had written before that I have a gift of seeing color. I always saw colors others couldn’t…but I just brushed it off as one of those weird, quirky things about me. Now I’ve discovered that there may be a scientific explanation: I may be a tetrachromat. A what-a-mat? A genetic mutation that allows some […]
When I was little I believed that some people were better at drawing because they had better motor skills. In reality, it has more to do with perception and brain functions: the ability to differentiate space, light, and shadows. Steady hands are a plus, but they are not required. An old art teacher once told me that I had […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
