INTERVIEW .......................................... MYbrighton: Sam Reece Colour Consultant Are you local? No. I was born in Birmingham. I went to art school in Newcastle, then to study textiles at Chelsea School of Art. I went straight into the industry after that and painted flowers for 25 years. When I decided that I needed to get out, I wanted to go to either <strong>Brighton</strong> or Bristol. I found a place to rent on Brunswick Square and that was it. I could see the sea. To have that in a creative, energetic city was amazing. What do you do now? My main job is colour consulting for Farrow & Ball. I talk about colour all day. If a customer has a project of more than one or two rooms, I can offer to visit them in their home. I listen to them and I ask them how they want their home to feel, then I translate that into paint colours and make sure that each room flows from one to the next. I travel the whole of Sussex and see every type of home from one bed flats to 18 room mansions. Where do you find your colour inspiration? By the sea. The colours change every minute. You can go to the beach at the same time every day and it will look completely different. I love the mixing of the subtle hues and how the changing colours affect each other. The sea, the clouds, the sky, the sunset, from white to black, to indigo, to scarlet. Colour-wise it’s just incredible. What don’t you like about the city? All the litter that people leave on the beach. That breaks my heart. Just put it in your bag and take it away with you. We need to take better care of our city. How would you spend a perfect Sunday? Up early and down to the beach, with coffee and a sandwich, to enjoy a swim and maybe a paper. My life revolves around food and family, so there’s got to be good food. Chewy brown bread, proper brunches, Sunday roasts, sitting around the table at home, or a barbeque on the beach. Where’s your favourite place to eat out? Unithai Oriental Market, a little Thai shop on Church Road. It’s sells loads of ingredients and serves authentic Thai food at lunchtimes and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings until eight. The family who run it take such good care of us. Their duck noodle soup is my favourite. V&H café on Holland Road is also very good. Their chef makes the most amazing bubble and squeak. When did you last swim in the sea? September 27th. My daughter Tilda was about to go off to university, so we went to The Regency for mussels and chips and then to the beach. It was a boiling hot day so my son Oscar and I ran into the water. If it’s beautiful, you’ve got to seize the moment and dive in.
