I am not a color genius. I manage, but I don’t have “the gift.” Right from the start, Cheryl Behan marched to the beat of her own color drummer. We’d discuss possible color plans for a piece and she would throw out these wild ideas. (At least, I considered them wild.) Maybe, I thought, I should advise her on color because I taught her to hook? Silly me.
