The Killam Colour System is a clear, step-by-step way to get colour right, whether you’re designing your own home or helping clients with theirs.
It teaches you how to see undertones, compare options confidently, and create a timeless look with more confidence.
The Practical Colour System That Works—in Real Homes and Real Projects
The Killam Colour System
Maria’s approach is different.
People often say, "Just pick what you love." But what if what you love doesn’t look right in your home?
When you understand how undertones work (and how to spot the right combination of colours and finishes) your decisions become faster, easier, and more accurate.
That’s what the Killam Colour System teaches you: to see colour clearly, so your results feel just right.
Why “Just Choose what you love” isn't enough
Most colour advice leaves you with more questions than answers. The Killam Colour System gives you a practical, step-by-step process for seeing how colours and finishes actually belong together in real life. Instead of guessing or hoping for the best, you’ll learn how to compare, coordinate, and create harmony—so you can confidently choose what you love and know it will look beautiful together, BEFORE it's installed.
“The Killam Colour System is a PROCESS that anyone can follow. It’s the shortcut to knowing exactly what works, why it works, and how to get it right the first time.”
- Maria
What Makes the Killam Colour System Different?
Unlike traditional colour theory, my system is designed for real-life decorating and renovation scenarios. It’s not about memorizing rules or relying on guesswork.
Instead, it’s a collection of proven steps, language, and tools that help you see, compare, and confidently choose the right colours for your environment.
But you can call it a modern neutral: Shhhh. . . I won’t tell
the right beige is never boring.
nothing brings grey to life faster than colour.
Just as you see in the room transformation above, the right neutral can bring any interior or exterior to life. Maria’s system shows you how to spot—and name—the undertone that will make your environment feel cohesive and timeless.
