100 Hundred Year Celebration of John Hersey

By Unison Colour

Marking a significant day at Unison Colour, on what would have been the 100th Birthday of John Hersey – the man behind our Soft Pastels! 🎂

To celebrate, we’re offering a 10% discount on the limited Centenary Sets, running until 2nd July.

Centenary Sets

But that’s not all…

We also have a brand new set of 18 pastels, selected by Kate and Dan Hersey!

The Heritage 18 set consists of 18 handcrafted pastels specially selected by Kate and Dan Hersey who, like John, were inspired by the colours found in and around the home of Unison Colour in Thorneyburn, Northumberland. The pale blue doors of the coach house, the heather-blanketed hills, the lichen covered trees, and the deep blue of pristine Northumbrian night-skies, are just some of the hues captured within this set.

The selection of colours a versatile and are perfectly adaptable for every artist. A fresh take on timeless classics, these colours are a nod to Unison Colour’s unique heritage.

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
