Color Sensations Project – 12 Colors in 12 Months
My October in Orange Part 1: Expectations and Resistance After Brown After September’s brown, I thought October would be easy. Orange felt like a natural continuation. Autumn. Pumpkins. Falling leaves. Warm light. I was hoping for something close to red – energy, drive, warmth – a color I would slip into and not want to […]
Welcome to the October edition of What If Color Were a Person?, a monthly blog series where each color is imagined as a living, breathing person. This month, we step into the warm, glowing presence of orange – and her name is Laetitia Clementine. She is not a firework. She’s the firelight.She doesn’t shout. She […]
Orange was the color that came after brown – the supposed bridge between earthy grounding and something brighter. October carried it in quietly. But for me, it landed with a strange kind of tension. Not loud, not unwanted, just unfamiliar. It was the one color I had absolutely no idea how to live with. Because […]
Brown – Part 2: Roots, Reflections, and Letting Go Read Brown – Part 1 first Tension Still Exists Not everything in September was calm. There were tense days too. Nervous ones. September 22nd felt tight and restless. But even then, brown stayed consistent. It didn’t fix anything. It didn’t dramatize anything. It just stayed. Harmony […]
My September in Brown Grounding After White Brown came after white.And I really liked white. White was a good month. Because of that, brown didn’t arrive as relief or contrast. It arrived quietly, almost without announcing itself. White felt open and light, like space. Brown didn’t take that away. It grounded it. A Tabula Rasa […]

My September Color I’ve never worn brown.I didn’t like it. It felt dull, like something I didn’t connect to at all. Beige – yes. I liked beige, I wore it. But brown? No. I didn’t own anything brown. So stepping into this month has been a bit of a shift. I had to go out […]
If you haven’t read Part 1, I recommend starting there – this second part grows out of the experiences of August and looks at what white carried underneath it all. White as a Holding Color During that first week of illness on holiday, I received the news of my grandmother’s death. August held many celebrations […]
My August in White After turquoise, I stepped into white almost impatiently.I had been waiting for it. I own a lot of white. I like wearing white. And after the heavy months behind me, white felt like a reset. A blank page. A white canvas. Something clean I could step onto without explanation. A Full […]
White has always felt different to me. Not just as a color – but as a presence. Whenever I try to describe her, words start to dissolve. She’s not loud. Not dramatic. She doesn’t even ask to be noticed. And yet, when she is there, you feel it in your bones. Something shifts. The noise […]
