Color Mark: Pepper Hues

Ii'm not a fan of peppers and always had an aversion for their taste and smell. But, I do love their colors that range from deep reds and reds to all shades of green. I find it amazing the colors that you can find at the fruit and veggies section of the super market, it's all about arranging the produce by colors, types and sizes.

Pantone Color Matches from left to right: 378 C, 440 C, 7404 C, DS 76-1 C, 426 C


I took this photo , as you can tell, when I went to Eataly with my sister last year. I was attracted by the color layering of the peppers with other veggies like the eggplants on the back. I don't know if I see these colors on an interior environment... Actually I see them used in some type of promotional advertising or even a fashion collection.

Have a colorful day!

    I LOVE peppers, that's maybe because it's very often found in our mediterranean dishes :) great idea to use them as a color palette!

    They really turn a meal into a piece of art - green, yellow and red bell peppers! Throw in some red onion and you're halfway to a rainbow

    I don't get them all the time, but sometimes I really love them. Especially the sweet purple peppers I get from a nearby farm. They are a little milder tasting than the green and red. Yum!

    Peppers (whole or sliced) add so much color to a the table. They taste yummy hot off the grill and look so pretty in a bowl on the counter!

    I love the colors AND the taste! BUT they have to be paired with the right foods. Have you ever tried roasted peppers?

    I've never been a fan of peppers either. But in order to eat more healthy foods I'm trying to teach myself to like them and other fruits and veggies I never cared for by eating them in small amounts.
