Do you know that feeling of not knowing how to answer the question: “what is your favourite colour?”

I never know how to explain and usually I end up answering one of the many colours I like, but the real answer for me is: my brain works in colour palettes.

Yes, because colours can be perceived differently depending on how they are matched together and once the match is perfect, it is pure visual asmr.

I like to paint using specific combinations of colours and sometimes I discover new ones, like for this painting test here: I was craving warm tones (yes, my craving for Autumn is very real) and I wanted specifically to use “butter yellow”.

I’ve been seen that colour everywhere, in cottagy kitchens on Pinterest, on cozy sweaters… I wanted to use it without necessarily pair it with blue or cool green, so I picked up another favourite of mine: “terra di Siena bruciata”, (or “burnt Sienna” in the misspelled English translation of my town’s name).

Warm toned down green followed up and now I have this 3 colours test that just makes me happy when I look at it. 🙂
