Welcome to Colour Compass!

Let me introduce myself. I'm Jenny Clark, a colour forecaster working in the fashion and design industry. For the past 25 years, I've specialised in selecting colours for products and explaining the context behind them.

My background in textiles, along with my passion for sewing and crafting, has always kept me close to the creative process. I spent several years studying weave at college, where I honed my creative skills and developed a strong technical foundation. During my studies, I also learned how to dye yarn, and that was the beginning of my colour journey.

Since graduating, I've worked in the design industry selecting colours for a wide range of products, from cars and shoes to interior paints.

As a colour consultant, part of my job is to forecast colour trends two years in advance. This challenging task demands extensive research and a deep understanding of the cultural and social shifts that influence consumer behaviour. Explaining these shifts is a key aspect of my work and provides essential information for my clients.

I believe that colour has the power to brighten our lives. Through this blog, I aim to inspire you with my creativity and storytelling. I'll share articles about new colour concepts and innovations, connecting you to a more colourful future. I'll also share insights from exhibitions and city visits to keep you informed about the latest trends in art, design, and culture from around the world.

I hope you enjoy it!
