Vivid: Style in Colour is an interiors book celebrating the
influence of color in the world of design and our everyday lives.
Built around the insights of renowned stylist Julia Green gathered over
several decades, Vivid looks at the spaces we inhabit both at home and
at work, and how the application of color can create different outcomes
and impacts. The book includes eight chapters divided by color: orange,
red, blue, green, pink, yellow, neutrals, and black. Photographer
Armelle Habib contributes stunning interior shots alongside travel
vignettes that tell the story of how different palettes are interwoven
into our lives.
Vivid features interviews from leading proponents of the art of color
around the world, including Martyn Thomson (Sydney), Jessica Bettenay
(Melbourne), Marielle Ienna (Palermo), LRNCE (Marrakech) and Los
Enamorados (Ibiza). Short essays on color in styling and design
complement the photography, addressing the science of color and color
psychology, confidence in bold or clashing color, using color to connect
or divide spaces, artworks, layering color for depth and texture, and
styling for small spaces and for the seasons. Vivid tackles questions
around the application of color and, crucially, where to begin if your
life feels like it could benefit from some new (colored) energy.
