What I like best is looking at food with color theory and color psychology in mind -- and your photos sprinkled in the mix, like flecks of fresh ground pepper, spice up the text perfectly. wonderful photos! I will most definitely be back. <BR/><A HREF="http://maureensphotoblog.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Maureen</A> (aka MontanaRaven on flickr) <BR/><BR/>btw, I've been having trouble with the beta-version of my blogs, so if you can't leave comments, come back to visit my blog in a week or so hopefully blogger will fix the problem soon.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967323387645271468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1157191744194131312006-09-02T06:09:00.000-04:002006-09-02T06:09:00.000-04:00A wonderful series of photos and thoughts!

Maybe Flore is where you and Red Shoes and I should meet!

It was in one of my colour harmony books. Psychologically, one tends to feel at home when ensconced in a yellow/orange room. Apparently.<BR/><BR/>BTW, thanks for the Dewey book heads up, PB.

I'll have to reread Gopnick's essay, for sure. But I really like your color theory idea. To a large extent I think (French) people go to the Flore because it's still very "m'as-tu vu" but perhaps the tastemakers go there because they're hypnotized by the red and green woven chairs...<BR/><BR/>here's a question for you. why is it that the walls of all the hipstery/bobo cafes in Paris are all painted the same shade of beat-up maize? if you haven't noticed, I invite you to take a look around you next time you're in le pause cafe or any of its ilk!maitressehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626737113043652183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1157078059872380192006-08-31T22:34:00.000-04:002006-08-31T22:34:00.000-04:00I am so happy that you discovered my blog!

But historically the colorful REAL food has the upper hand on the color wheel, a recent addition to most artist's studio - food for thought...<BR/><BR/>Hi Britt- yes, color is so strong where you live. It tends to get played down in NYC-too much grey and black around for my taste. The grit seems to take over..so I look for it elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Jersey Boy, it's true that spring is full of pastels and maybe that's why the strong colors red/green predominate in the winter months - to cheer us up and pull us through. I can't recall which color family an acorn belongs in, but certainly Autumn's falling leaves, turning from green to red/yellow are in the primary first family. <BR/><BR/>Moi - please do test out my theory with newyorkdely, though I think she should change her name to newyorkDelpy..separated at birth etc.Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1157062015119477222006-08-31T18:06:00.000-04:002006-08-31T18:06:00.000-04:00Wow, your theory is most intriguing.
