I have to say it was Donna Frasca who inspired this idea. You see, Donna has a hobby of "cooking up" Color Recipes.

Whenever she comes across a magazine ad for pizza, soup or icecream that looks especially beautiful, she takes her paint fan deck and pulls out all the colors from the photo.

The result is a perfect paint color scheme, every time.

But this fun exercise is also a powerful way to learn how color works!

All that, without the stress and fear of making a mistake! After all, who can remain serious trying to re-create the color scheme of a pepperoni pizza?

And yes, you can use your "food color schemes" for painting and decorating your home. As Donna says, "If it looks good in a photograph, it will look good on your walls". But you don't have to.

The goal here is to simply stop being afraid of color and gain experience. That way, when it comes time for coordinating paint colors in real life, you will feel confident and prepared.
