I am hopeing to do some re-decoration soon, and i want to go for a bbc news theme.

I was thinking of beige, red, yellow, and mustard(the bbc news chair colour)

yellow carpet
red and beige walls
mustard wood work and window frames

I was wondering if anyone from bbc news could please find out what the colours are properly called, and if there are red, blue, green values for them, could you tell me them also.

i suggest that you take a screen grab image and pop off to one of those Dulux paint matching suppliers. I did a similar thing and printed a page with the colour i wanted too. Its works surprisingly well. Remember though that the red is really quite dark unless your lighting it with lots of halogen downlighters and a couple of arturo studio softlights!

To save embarrassment (sp) I would advise you say it is for an opt out from BBC NEWS 24 and you're the director or something. Well, if i was older I would!

P.S. - If you find the chair - tell me where it is possible to get it!
But on BBC BREAKFAST they have the fabric, which looks to be stapled on a black chair. If you look closley during the interview with the TV link up.

You'll see! Does anyone have a picture to back me up on that?

They do use chairs like that!

BBC Regional News appears to have the comfiest chairs, lots of yellow padded material, must feel nice. Smile

Although, even with a nice chair like that, here in the Midlands, the presenters still sit on cushions! Must be harder than they look. Wink
