On Method

In the archive, color comes from the object, not the photograph.

I sample color from the thing itself — a petal, a weathered board, the iron on a century bridge. The photograph sits beside the color as a witness to the place, not as the source. That distinction governs the archive. Personal color work uses a separate confidence model: in-person sensor reads first, remote photos second, never collapsed into the same claim.

Founder's Thoughts on Unichrome

Unichrome's mission is to channel the vibrancy of the universe — by pulling color out of real places and making sure it keeps its meaning everywhere it goes.

Midnight, on the road

Why this, why now, why Canada. Written at midnight, half a gas tank in, full tilt ahead.

On the road

Color compressed into a pixel.
Decompressed in your hands.

Every color in Unichrome is sampled from a real-world object — a silo at low tide, a weathered brick wall, a flower that won’t bloom again next year. We pull the true color through our own process, then photograph the thing it came from so the color never loses its source.

The prints are made at a local shop close to where the color was collected. About sixty cents of every dollar spent locally stays local. That matters to us.

Every print today ships from the mobile unit. The first storefronts come online as the road turns west.

Archive logic

The archive is the brand.

Unichrome is built from color itself. Every token is sampled from an object, kept with its source, grouped by place, and carried forward into print without leaving the archive behind.

The site follows the same rule as the work: paper first, then color as evidence. What you see here is not brand paint laid over the archive. It is the archive teaching the rest of the system how to look.

Place palettes

Collections read like signatures.

Each collection holds a chromatic relationship from a real place. The palette is the first reading; the writing, source, and print come after it.

Material promise

The archive does not end at the screen. Tokens become prints, and prints are produced close to the place that gave the color. Material translation is part of the archive itself, not a separate commerce layer.
