It can define your personality, create a moment, suggest an atmosphere or establish a feeling. It can transform a space from a lonely, drab corner into a plucky, energetic nook. Yes, color is a workhorse — it remains one of the most powerful tools in design. In our Spring issue, we are looking at projects where Oregonians are showing up confident with color. We went behind the scenes with Woonwinkel owner Kristin Van Buskirk, a former Nike color designer who runs a shop where you can shop by color category (“Life Lived in Color,” p. 43). And we’re taking a look at how Workaday Design’s clever use of blue and green adds a natural injection of energy to a historic Northwest Portland home (“Colorful Past,” p. 17). Plus, we think you’ll love the work of Portland artist Jessica Poundstone, whose color-field prints are showing up in places like the Mean Girls movie (“Magic Touch,” p. 73). We hope you’ll be inspired to bring more color into your life this season and to bask in it whenever and wherever it feels right.
