How does a deep blue painted room make you feel?
What about a green forest?
In spring, as the deciduous trees start to come into bud, there is green and then there is vernal green, the kind of fresh, zesty, plucky injection of color that's often enough to revive you from the torpor of winter.
This edition of Confet Corner looks at the nuance of hue.
We talked to colour consultant Anna von Mangelt and hear the artistic inspiration and memories of a colourist and purveyor of paint, Cassandra Ellis.
As ever, our contributors and guests wear their hearts on their sleeves.
We'll meet a baker who is so dedicated to his craft making rye basil bread, he's named his New Zealand bread Love.
We'll also talk about Paul Smith and Picasso in Paris, Czech sandwiches and the healing power of sound.
Specifically, a long and absorbing gong bath in London.
This is Confect Corner and I'm your host, Sophie Grove.
Many people think that it's so stressful to paint or to think about a color concept, and I think it's just a thing of mindset.
If you take your time, if you see it, choosing color is more as pleasure, then it's a really, really nice thing to improve your life and to make your home more beautiful.
It's very darkly roasted in the oven and it's very humid.
It has a high hydration, it has huge bubbles.
It's moist, I could say, on the inside and very crunchy on the outside.
Spring green has a life in it rather than the sun bleached green of late summer.
There is a feminine undertone to early greens, pinks and a freshness at the core.
It's a green that has just woken up rather than ready to fade.
Welcome to this episode of Confect Corner.
I'm your host, Sophie Grove in London and I'm joined once more by Marcella Palak in Zurich and by Gillian De Vias here in London.
