What is an orb?

As our planet spins and tilts a little, it is quite serendipitous to launch this blog as the earth experiences a blue moon (did I mention colour!).

Occurring every 18-20 years, the blue moon, tonight, also heralds the end of 2009.

In an ever evolving and revolving world ... designs, colours and plans follow suit. Archecolour is here to help you secure the designs, colours and plans that you are most comfortable living in or working with.

Graphics, stories, projects and thoughts will populate each loaded with the intention of sparking inspiration and helping you acheive the comfortable, wakky, slick or chic space you are seeking.

Now, back on topic .... an orb: is

Putting it all together: Archecolour
