About Unlimited Color

Company owner Rebecca Bushner

Rebecca Bushner has been playing with color in the context of manufacturing and application since 1988. For many years, she worked as a color designer, production manager, and raw materials buyer for a glass tableware manufacturer. While at the glass company, she learned all about color use in product design and manufacturing, as well as the differences in various pigments and colorants used in ceramic glazes and glass enamels.

Several years ago, Rebecca became interested in how color can be used to enhance the salability of a product and also how it can create ambiance in a room or enhance a company logo. She discovered a group of professionals teaching others about color in a way that incorporates science, research, and psychology with good design and takes some of the mystery out of color. The organization is the International Association of Color Consultants/Designers (IACC) and is the only organization in the world that certifies color consultants.

Company Focus

Unlimited Color has two main areas of focus:color specification for architectural spaces and color specification for product design, especially tabletop and home accessories.

This latter category incorporates design and color trend information a manufacturer or distributor may need in order to keep on the forefront with their product mix in the marketplace. The latter, especially for residential interiors, incorporates a very personal approach to color design and understanding the client’s needs and personal tastes.

Rebecca can and does work remotely on certain types of projects as well as travels and will meet in person for “house call” residential or commercial projects in the Tucson, Arizona area.
