"Blue is the world's favourite colour"

CNN producer Sarah-Grace Mankarious, whom we had worked with in the past, approached us with the idea to create the first part of an animated series about colour, based on the already existing documentary series by Dr.James Fox ‘A history of Art in Three Colors’.

The idea was that each episode would be 60/90 seconds long and focusing on one colour following a fact-filled narrative. The first colour in the series was Blue.
