Less difficult to categorize, perha

Less difficult to categorize, perhaps, are what you might call sources of ‘found’ colour – fortuitous combinations or particular shades that you happen upon. A fairground sign, a bag of boiled sweets, a particularly electric partnering of colours displayed on packaging or printed on a can, a stack of multicoloured Fiestaware on a vintage stall, a peeling poster in an alleyway, an old Polaroid snapshot may seem mundane in comparison to the work of great artists, but they can be just as stimulating and valuable for colour ideas. With most cellphones featuring digital cameras of considerable technological sophistication, such moments need pass no one by.
