Colour ’em app

When a family goes through a difficult time, such as a divorce, illness or death, people often find it hard to communicate their feelings. This creates a lot of distance between relatives, which can trigger anxiety, loneliness or even depression. Colour’em App comes in handy when it’s hard to find the right words. It allows you to express emotions through colours: a non-verbal and very direct way of communicating. “Colour can bridge what is not said in strained conditions,” says designer Yorgos Bournouzouzis. “Because life is not black or white. Life is colourful.”
