38 - Colour palettes

38 - Colour palettes

Too tired to comment on this right now, as we spent 9 hours on the hoof today.

But some snapshot documentation in one of the lavish, free entry museums in Marseille.

I think it was a collection of Italian artefacts - Roman? With an exploration of how colours for paint and other surface decorations were produced. 

The museum label asserted that the carbon black on the right, is a type of man made pigment, that has been in continuous use for 40,000 years.

Loved this black mirror.

Post 38 of 365

I've decided to commit to 365 days of social media continuity and publish 1 blog post per day for a year.

If you enjoy, learn from, share or benefit from any of the 365 please consider a donation to Macmillan Cancer Support. 

A penny per post, 10p per post or even a pound: every little helps! Thank you.

Macmillan Cancer Support

This year I challenged myself to write one blog post per day, for 365 days. The project began on 3 March 2025.

I have linked this challenge to a charity fundraiser, because I want to look outside as well as inwards and contribute to society. It also holds me accountable and adds motivation to write everyday.

Macmillan is an organistation that offers powerful help to anyone (in the UK) who has been affected by cancer.
