Colour me perfect...
I spent the morning taking about colour with the delightful Kevin McCloud. I know - it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
One of the most interesting parts of our conversation was when we spent at least five minutes staring at a blank white wall while Kevin pointed out to me that, essentially, there is no such colour as white. Looking at the wall, I became aware that he was entirely right and that the shades I could see ranged from pale blue to an almost sunny yellow.
We also talked about Kevin's latest book - Choosing Colours, Quadrille, £12.99 - which is due out in May and features colours from the paint range he developed in collaboration with Fired Earth.
Kevin's knowledge of colour is extraordinary and always leaves one inspired to be a little more adventurous with the shades one puts on one's walls - and also oneself. Tomorrow I've decided to ditch the black cashmere polo-neck I've lived in this winter in favour of an altogether more dramatic hue. And, as I shall be spending tomorrow writing in front of the Aga, I'm leaning towards something rather racy and red.
