Victoria’s popular interior designer writes every week in REV. Follow her column and check out more on www.revweekly.com

Introducing our new 2015 colour of the year Around this time each year designers and creatives alike anxiously await the annual announcement from Pantone for the “colour of the year.” I feel confident comparing this announcement to the anticipation that a child has waiting for Santa’s arrival. This colour is soon to appear all over the marketplace. This colour affects interior design, fashion, graphic design and much of the print and marketing industry. Pantone, the authority on colour, is described on Wikipedia as a company best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS), a proprietary colour space used in a variety of industries, primarily printing, though sometimes in the manufacture of coloured paint, fabric, and plastics. By standardizing the colours, different manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colours match without direct contact with one another.

If I continue on with my Christmas analogy, I would dare say that this year’s colour announcement was much like receiving a brand new pair of wool socks from Santa…very

disappointing and boring! The colour Marsala is nothing more than a very muddy wine hue. On some items it seems to look like a worn-out, faded version of merlot or burgundy. I am very surprised, as this choice is coming from the same company that brought us past winning choices such as Tangerine Tango, Emerald and Radiant Orchid. They state that Marsala will prove “eyecatching but not overwhelming.”

Agreed it is definitely not overwhelming! I am prepared to give it a chance though.

Trying to always see the positive side, it may grow on me, right?

Maybe if the colour was amped up just a bit with a touch of metallic or complimented by a rich jewel tone, it may just storm the streets after all. I’m really not usually the skeptic in the room, but this time it seems that the entire room is filled with skeptics on this colour. Perhaps if it was just a little more full-bodied I would be onboard. However, right now, it just makes me want to pour up a glass of wine!

Ask the President - Tim Ayres, Victoria Real Estate Board President Q: I think I want to sell my condo, is the winter a good time to sell?

Have a real estate question? Send it to president@vreb.org!

Whatever your needs are, a REALTOR® can help.

6745425

A: I’ll answer your question with a question - are you ready to sell? Any time is a good time to sell in our local market, buyers are always looking and your condo may be their perfect match! Consider that selling your home takes some commitment on your part; your home will need to be prepared for sale - depending on its current condition it may require new paint and carpet cleaning, or a simple tidy up. Your home will also need to be available for viewings when potential buyers are free. And if you are going to live in your home while it’s for sale, will these requirements impact your lifestyle too much? You may choose to move out and list, or find the best time of year for your schedule. Your REALTOR® will be able to help you navigate the details to consider when you’re thinking of selling. Is it a good time? Yes. Is it a good time for you?
