This would be better with pictures
Many of my favorite foods run the spectrum from deep purplish red to almost black: jamaica, chicha morada, red bean buns, bing cherries, plums, blackberries, dried figs. These colors are most often associated with red wine, but somehow that doesn’t make my list of favorite foods. Neither do beets, for that matter.
I decided to like purple in middle school, enough to choose a lavender backpack that I hated a few weeks later and painted dark blue. I chose muddy burgundies and maroons (look familiar?) as favorite colors during high school. Now I work in a building full of dark purple, just enough so you know at any moment that this is corporate identity — in a good way. Max doesn’t really see the color purple, which I find endlessly interesting.
There is a book about mauve that I need to read.
