I deal with color a lot. A small cooking gaffe resulted in an unexpected splash of color. I forgot to add the spices (turmeric, cayenne and paprika) to my latest soup project, potato and pea.
Adding these spices later than recommended created beautiful earth tones. I took a picture before mixing everything together.
I'll be on the look out for other sources of unexpected color. Have you ever found color where you didn't expect it?
when i worked at the MFA there was a cart kept near the staff entrance used to transport food around the building, and it was a very retro shade of orange. there was a burn mark on the side of the cart and i always stared at it each time i passed it, wishing i had a glaze with as much colorful variation in it. weird, but freaking gorgeous.
