5 Signs You Should be a Colour Designer

Did you know I never went to design school? And I was still able to turn my passion for colour and decorating into a 7 figure income and business that fills me with joy every day?

My system for understanding colour is revolutionary because it simplifies the complex world of colour into a practical, organized framework that extends far beyond interior design. By focusing on undertones, my approach provides a universal language for accurately identifying and coordinating colours across various materials and industries.

That’s why colour designer is a better title than colour consultant.

So much more than paint colours

Because the Killam Colour System is not limited to paint selection; it applies to hard finishes like tiles, stone, and wood, as well as furniture, fabrics, and decor. For example, recognizing subtle undertones such as pink-beige in flooring or blue-grey in tiles ensures cohesive design choices that avoid costly mistakes.

What sets my method apart is its practicality. Unlike traditional colour theory, which focuses on relationships between saturated hues on the colour wheel, my system addresses the real-world challenges of working with neutrals and complex finishes. It equips professionals with the tools to make confident decisions quickly, whether they’re designing a home, specifying materials for architecture, or even working in industries like fashion or branding.

I’m working on a new website and as we were finalizing the branding colour palette with my web designer, it was immediately apparent how much better and faster she would be able to work with colours online just by understanding my system.

That’s what I’m talking about today on Youtube! I have spoken to so many people over the years who would love to quit their corporate job and start a career in colour and design and I’m here to tell you that I am no one special and you can do this too!
