A few of my favourite things

Richele asked me my favourite colour.

If you ask Jemimah, she'll say it's red. She's right - I do like red; but it's not my favourite. My favourite is the colour that a muddy puddle goes when algae start to grow in it. It's sort of a muddy greeny brownish colour.

Now, with the help of the Fellisimo palate, it actually has a name: Guiseppe. My favourite colour is Guiseppe with a good dollop of mud added to make it less clear and more complex. It's sort of the colour of walls in the tea ceremony room of the wonderful Tempura Endo Yasaka Restaurant in the photo above. Sort of. My favourite has more green than that.

Can you see why I tell Jemimah that it is red? Can you imagine me telling my seven year old:

My favourite colour is Guiseppe, dear. Sort of.

I don't think so!!!

So I say it's red. Easy.

Which makes my wonder what your favourite colour is - now that you have a name to describe it. Do let me know.
