Color Study
Just like Monet once emoted, “color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.” At Maxwell, color is an integral part of what we do on the daily. Along the way, we discover so many different facets that make up our perceptions, and how we love and live with color. This is where we share our ongoing findings with you! Enjoy the spectrum!
