Welcome to the very first episode of "The Sound of Colour” podcast.
This episode is a special live recording held during 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen in collaboration with Montana. At the event I had the pleasure of having the two brilliant guests colour and textile designer Margrethe Odgaard and artist and writer David Batchelor.

In this episode we talk about the meaning of colour, how colour is defined and how and why, especially designers, can struggle with colour. We investigate how we can get architects, artists and designers to embrace colours. And last but not least Margrethe Odgaard shares the insights on naming all the colours she designed for Montana, while David Batchelor elaborates on his book ‘Chromophobia’.

The episode ends with the musical experiment ‘The Sound of a Colour”, this time by musicians Morten Køie and Martin Høgild as they create the sound of Acacia yellow and Pantone 292 blue.
