Such a fun idea, and really strikes a note with me. I work with color a lot - sometimes Pantone (for graphic stuff,) but more often paint. I'm often teased about using food to describe color, e.g., 'too pea soup, it needs to be more artichoke'; or 'that looks like a raw mushroom - I was thinking sauteed.' Just this week I told a client that a paprika fabric might work better than the pomegranate swatch we were considering.
Paints often have such crazy names (try naming 300 shades of blue!), but I've always thought there should be a campaign built totally around 'food' colors, using beautiful photos (like those tarts) for marketing. Are you listening, Ben Moore?
