A lifestyle 'sea change' in imminent danger of backfiring confronts Colour in Winter's heroine after she has downsized her demanding but ultimately unfulfilling career to realise a childhood dream. Having invested her redundancy payout in the purchase of a cliff top cottage that once belonged to her grandparents, the last thing 46-year-old Ula expected when she turned her back on a stressful corporate life was a last chance at motherhood. On the contrary, her front-of-mind intentions had been to work part-time to help pay off the mortgage while setting up a cottage industry creating 'new-fashioned' contemporary lace designs in the form of jewellery, high fashion inserts and wall hangings. Her boarder's insistence, however, that she widen her circle of friends and embrace blind dating has led to an unexpected short-lived relationship, the legacy of which must deal with. Ula grapples with the enormity of the decision she now faces as she relives the bitter-sweet relationship that has landed her in this predicament. To have or not to have the baby is the question, but as Ula quickly discovers, reaching her ultimate decision was anything but straightforward, let alone easy. Everyone, it seems, has an opinion on her situation, and following her agonised decision to take a 'road less travelled' she must shoulder the consequences of a choice that involves her immediate family and triggers unexpected complications and turning points. Having made her decision Ula is destined to cross paths with the man she holds responsible for unfairly bidding up the price of her grandmother's cottage, ramping up her mortgage. When she agrees to teach a term of night school art classes in a friend's stead to boost her income, in a surprise twist, Tomas, the object of her grudge, turns out to be the father of an off the rail's 14-year-old girl enrolled in her course. Ula's well meaning attempt to warn the girl's parents that their daughter was skipping classes and getting up to mischief backfires.

When she agrees to teach a term of night school art classes in a friend’s stead to boost her income, in a surprise twist, Tomas, the object of her grudge, turns out to be the father of an off the rail’s 14-year-old girl enrolled in her course. Ula’s well meaning attempt to warn the girl’s parents that their daughter was skipping classes and getting up to mischief backfires when Tomas, unaware of the grudge she holds against him, seeks her help to get his daughter back on the straight and narrow. Caught up in her determination to keep her lace-making dream alive, her prejudice against him - compounded by his apparent status as a married man - blind her to his struggle to raise two young children. Unsure where his wife fits into the picture, Ula reluctantly accepts his unexpected invitation to accompany his family on a tour of Central Australia in the role of a paid art tutor to his wayward daughter. His hope against hope is that Ula can foster in his daughter a love of creativity for its own sake, in doing so helping him steer her away from a worrying dalliance with drugs. Tensions build up during the road journey as their respective skeletons in the cupboard not only surface but come between them. And when she finally peels away the layers of his seeming heartlessness, she discovers a man who has lost more than she could even begin to imagine. The resolution of their differences brings a satisfying closure to an unusual contemporary storyline that above all charts one woman’s determination to be true to herself.
