Yelena Kublitski, one of my lovely blogger friends, just posted an interview she did with me so I’m sharing it with you here! She asked some great questions (some I might swipe for my interviews with colour experts :)
Two of my favourites are:
[YK] In your opinion, what is the biggest difference between how YOU see color, and how most homeowners see it?
[MK] Interesting question. Most homeowners look at colour from a 'light vs. dark' or cool vs. warm perspective and make decisions from there.
I look at a space from the point of view of pulling it together with colour, with the understanding that a light colour will never come to life in a dark room as well as, understanding that cool vs. warm is mostly context.

[YK] When you walk into a room for the first time, how do you decide what paint color to specify?
[MK] Unfortunately there is no magic formula other than years of experience and seeing a lot of colour. When I walk into a room and see the furniture or finishes (a bathroom for example) I can immediately see it painted in all the different possible combinations (in my head) and can instantly narrow down the choices to 2 or 3. That skill has taken me years to develop.
