The Times today ran an article discussing how in the recession people want to have more control over their colour choices, and that this is fast becoming a very popular offering with brands and a great way to differentiate onesself. Huxley takes this on board. Due to our fledgling status we will not be able to offer bespoke colouring a la NikeID or the history of colours of someone like Hermes. But in no time at all we hope to offer enough colour choices that people will be able to find their favourite pink or that hard-to-find shade of green.

It certainly feels like people are yearning after some colour to perk them up in what are otherwise pretty miserable times. One thing I can ensure you of...we are surrounded by colour everyday at Huxley, and it keeps us pretty bloody perky.
