Feeling Hungry?
Colour Combination Tuesday: Mark Rothko
Studies have shown that if red and yellow are placed next to each other they increase your metabolism thereby increasing your appetite. Certain fast food outlets, have used this psychological and physiological response of the yellow and red combination to their favour, creating diners and logos and clowns, all to get you to eat more.

I maybe in a complementary mood today but according to "google Ngram" the use of the word complementary is sliding (or is it not?), well in literary arenas that is. And apparently the word 'colour' is slowly on its way to becoming extinct. As always, the google Ngram appears to be an extremely reliable source for all your statistics queries.

Round objects with beautiful colours
Colour Combination Tuesday: Guy's House.
After a lovely intoxitcating day amongst the amazingness and unavoidably inspiring colour combinations of the round objects at Guy Rombouts house, a dinner has been made.
Cherry Tomato Red, Grapefruit Pink, Sage Leaf Green, Pitted Olive Green, Rose` Rose`, Buttery Mustard Yellow, Ripe Apricot, Gnoochi off white, Mozzarella White, Poppyseed Black.
Menu:
Pink grapefruit with olive and mozzarella salad with a honey seeded mustard sauce. (90s colour combo)
Gnocchi fried with sage butter and apricot tossed with fresh cherry tomatoes and sprinkled poppy seed.
Perhaps the grapefruits and apricots should have been replaced with oranges. The associative colour perception went a little wrong. So this is a fitting podcast that makes for nice listening and which kind of explains it, perhaps.
