YOU should be able to get help for it - the distressing condition that afflicts most people when they enter a


paint shop. Dubbed ‘colour phobia’ by


top home doctors it means most people are too frightened to choose any colour other than magnolia or neutral shades - and when they do experiment with something alluring like rustic red, overjoyed orange or balmy blue they often get it wrong. A recent survey has revealed

that 60% of Britons admitted to mistakenly opting for horri­ bly clashing shades or colours that made their rooms look too dark. The North West had the

available for sufferers of colour phobia but urgent action is now needed because colour is truly cool and chic this year. Martin Ephson is joint owner


of a firm that produces paints and papers. He emphasises: "Although


neutrals will never lose their popularity, colour has finally come back into fashion and we are noticing it in our paint sales. Last year people were gaining confidence and picking blues or

greens but this year green is the top favourite.” But he adds: “It’s quite natu­


ral to get nervous about making a major change of colour partic­ ularly if you’ve never experi­ mented before. Also the vibrant strong colours used in glossy magazines are often too over­ powering or dramatic for most normal homes. “They all advise that strong


aubergine - which is great if you want your family to hate you and it so much they move out. But colour can transform a room so we advise people to go for something subtle, that tones with their furnishings. Once they take the plunge they get braver.” His 2004 colour choices are:


Cooking Apple Green; Green Ground; Green Blue; Palma Grey (blue shade); Pink Ground and Ointment Pink; and Sudbury Yellow always a favourite. He suggests that unless you


are an ageing rock star who wears sunglasses all the time don’t paint each room a differ­ ent, vibrant shade. You’ll hate it.


Experiment in one room with


a different shade - maybe just on a feature wall such as a chimney breast or alcoves.

NEXT time you go out to dinner to friends, don’t just casually slide onto the chair and reserve your compliments for the meal. You might break


a few hearts because the chances are your hosts have spent months choosing those chairs for your delight. The humble chair


- dining or occasion­ al - has moved from being a basic neces­ sity for parking pos­ teriors into a fashion statement. People buy a four­


legged creation to show they have taste, style and more than a little design knowledge. Having a chic chair a t your table these days is the equiva­ lent of wearing a Burberry trenchcoat or carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag. Those who are hip


now ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over chairs of dis­ tinction such as a Robin Day or a Charles Eames recliner. And woe betide

for ceilings and paintwork throughout to give the scheme cohesiveness and then use a dif­ ferent colour for walls. Never use brilliant gloss white

if you are using a strong colour contrast against it - it gives a hard, glaring effect. Instead opt for subtle New White or String which will adapt to the colour it is complementing. Don’t opt for white paints with a hint of colour. They are


seldom as effective as a colour and only highlight the fact you are colour-phobic. Design expert Kevin


McCloud’s definitive guide to choosing colour, “Choosing Colours” could help people match their desires to a palette that works for their home. He says: “I wanted to explain


how colours can convey a mes­ sage either by invoking memo­ ries of a period or time or by their effect.”

AFTER a year of hard work, a cheque for £1,000 was present­ ed to one of the Town Mayor’s favoured charities - Chtheroe First Responders. More than 50 civic guests


attended the presentation cere­ mony held at the Swan and Royal Hotel in Clitheroe, which was followed by a scrumptious lunch enjoyed by all. The money was raised


through a variety of fund-rais­ ing activities throughout the year, which included a number of coffee mornings, competi­ tions and raffles. Extremely pleased with the


donation, one of the speakers and team co-ordinator for the town’s First Responders, Mr Peter Hampson, expressed his thanks and highlighted the importance of donations.


k.----- The Rev. Alan Reid, from


Whalley, was the second speak­ er at the event and, in his speech, he also stressed the importance of supporting such a worthwhile cause. Pictured is the Mayor of


Clitheroe, Coun. Joan Knight, presenting a cheque to Mr Hampson, along with guests at the event.

BUSINESS premises in the Ribble Valley have been targeted by bur­ glars once again.' Thieves made off with


goods, valued at £2,570, from an insecure build­ ing in Greenacre Street, Clitheroe. Among the items


taken were a flat-screen monitor, a top-of-the- range computer, a key­ board and a Panasonic cordless telephone.

Eco-warrior is school’s guest!


fu\ lntergaiacuc eco-warrior and his young sidekick made a quan- tam leap to give an all-star perfor­ mance at Pendle Primary School. It was an exciting day for pupils


a t the Clitheroe school when Quantum Theatre performed live in the hall. The theatre-in-education com­


pany had been sponsored by 3M at Clitheroe to tour local schools with its show, “What if it Rains” - a musical comedy on the themes of health, the environment and safety on the roads. Deputy headteacher Mrs Carol Stockley commented: “I t was a


fabulous show and the pupils were enthralled by it, right across the age groups. “We are going to be covering


some of the topics in my class next term, so it was a good intro­ duction for the work they will be doing.” The show has also been per­


formed to hundreds more pupils at Brookside Primary School, St Michael and St John’s Primary School and St James Primary School, all in Clitheroe, as part of the 3M’s commitment to encour­ aging young interest in science. Wayne Lenander, site manager


a t the company’s Up Brooks plant, which manufactures aerosol valves and components for the pharmaceutical industry, said he was delighted the production went down so well with the pupils. “We have found Quantum The­


atre is really successful in bringing science to life for children, making sure they can enjoy themselves and gain knowledge at the same time,” he said. Pictured are Quantum Theatre


actors Anna Somerfield and Manny Brierley with pupils at Pendle Primary School, (s)
